Modelling the hygro-mechanical creep behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
A fully coupled moisture-displacement finite element model has been developed to predict the viscoelastic, mechano-sorptive and swelling/shrinkage behaviour of FRP reinforced timber elements when stressed under long-term ...
Life cycle assessment of fish and seafood processed products – A review of methodologies and new challenges
(Elsevier, 2020-12-14)
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely applied in many different sectors, but the marine products and seafood segment have received relatively little attention in the past. In recent decades, global fish production ...
A framework for determining unsaturated zone time lags at catchment scale
(Elsevier Masson, 2016-12-10)
The responses of waterbodies to agricultural programmes of measures are frequently delayed by hydrological time lags through the unsaturated zone and groundwater. Time lag may therefore, impede the achievement of remediation ...
Evaluating long-term performance of low-cost adsorbents using small-scale adsorption column experiments
(Elsevier, 2016-05-31)
This study investigated a novel method of predicting the long-term phosphorus removal performance of large-scale adsorption filters, using data derived from short-term, small-scale column experiments. The filter media ...
The short-term effects of management changes on watertable position and nutrients in shallow groundwater in a harvested peatland forest
(Elsevier, 2014-09-01)
Management changes such as drainage, fertilisation, afforestation and harvesting (clearfelling) of forested peatlands influence watertable (WT) position and groundwater concentrations of nutrients. This study investigated ...
Numerical investigation of reinforcement of timber elements in compression perpendicular to the grain using densified wood dowels
(Elsevier, 2021-03-27)
In recent years, the construction industry has seen a greater focus on the use of sustainable construction materials to reduce the environmental impact of buildings. Timber is one such material that has seen a revival in ...
Effects of substrate stress and light intensity on enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a photo-activated sludge system
(Elsevier, 2020-11-06)
Photo-activated sludge (PAS) systems are an emerging wastewater treatment technology where microalgae provide oxygen to bacteria without the need for external aeration. There is limited knowledge on the optimal conditions ...
Dairy processing sludge and co-products: a review of present and future re-use pathways in agriculture
(Elsevier, 2021-06-22)
The dairy industry is one of the largest global producers of wastewater and generates huge volumes of dairy processing sludge (DPS). There are two main types of DPS, lime-treated dissolved air floatation sludge and ...
High-resolution multi-scale modelling of coastal flooding due to tides, storm surges and rivers inflows: A Cork city example
(Elsevier, 2017-01-31)
This paper demonstrates the capability of a new state-of-the-art flood modelling system consisting of multiple nested models to simulate urban coastal flood inundation. A flood event in Cork City, Ireland which occurred ...
A novel reduced order model technology framework to support the estimation of the energy savings in building retrofits
(Elsevier, 2021-03-13)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), as a tool to enhance energy efficiency of buildings, can accelerate investment in cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs) for existing buildings. However, there are many ...
