Influence of seasonal circulation on flushing of the Irish Sea
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2009-12-16)
We applied a three-dimensional general ocean and coastal circulation model to the Irish Sea in order to determine water renewal time scales in the region. The model was forced with meteorological data for 1995, a year with ...
Erodibility of hill peat
(Teagasc, 2006-06-30)
The energy necessary to entrain soil in water depends on the soil strength. Once entrained, the settling velocity of the eroded soil in water is of fundamental importance to the processes of sediment transport and deposition. ...
A review of remediation and control systems for the treatment of agricultural wastewater in Ireland to satisfy the requirements of the Water Framework Directive
(RIA, 2008)
In Ireland, agricultural activities have been identified as major sources of nutrient input to receiving waters and it has been estimated that these activities contribute 75.3% of the nitrogen (N) and 33.4% of the phosphorus ...
Prediction of pile settlement using artificial neural networks based on standard penetration test data
(2009)
In recent years artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems with some degree of success. With respect to the design of pile foundations, accurate prediction of pile settlement ...
An improved experimental test set-up to study the performance of granular columns
(ASTM International, 2006-03)
This paper describes an innovative design of a newly developed large test setup for testing the performance of footings supported on soft clay reinforced with granular columns. This advanced testing method is used to examine ...
Ground improvement using the vibro- stone column technique
(Institution of Engineers in Ireland, 2007)
The Vibro Stone Column technique is one of the most widely-used ground improvement processes in the world, although its potential for improving Irish sites has yet to be fully exploited. Historically the system has been ...
Installation of a reduced-scale pile group in silt
(IHS BRE Press, 2008)
This paper presents measurements of total stress and pore pressure made during and after the installation of a reduced scale group of five piles in a soft estuarine silt. The instrumentation includes pore pressure and ...
An adaptive mesh solute transport model
(2009)
An adaptive mesh solute transport model is presented. The adaptive mesh scheme is implemented in a one-way multiply nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). The ...
Cyclic performance of steel and composite bracing members
(2005)
This paper describes an experimental study on the response
of hollow and filled steel members to monotonic and cyclic axial loading.
Monotonic tests were first performed on short specimens to establish their
compressive ...
Constructed wetlands for the treatment of highway runoff.
(Nova Publishers, 2008-06-01)
Highway surface runoff contains pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), hydrocarbons, de-icing salts, and heavy metals. Treatment methods for highway runoff include storage/treatment facilities, such as constructed ...
