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 ...
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 ...
A nested hydrodynamic model incorporating flooding and drying
(2009)
A one-way nested version of the hydrobiological model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport) is introduced. The nested model allows flooding and drying of intertidal areas, a process often present in areas ...
Nutrient dynamics in Cork Harbour
(2005)
Estuaries are commonly characterised by high productivity due to frequent if not continuous inputs of nutrients from domestic and industrial discharge effluents and from freshwater and marine sources. These forms of nutrient ...
A nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model, DIVAST
(2007)
The present research deals with the development of a one-way nested version of the combined hydrodynamic and water quality model DIVAST (Depth Integrated Velocity and Solute Transport). Initial research has concentrated ...
Stress changes associated with driving pile groups in clayey silt
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2003)
Measurements obtained from lateral total stress sensors located on the centre pile of a
small driven pile group and pneumatic piezometers installed in the vicinity of the group are used to
assess the disturbance associated ...
Experimental investigation of the response of a driven pile in soft silt
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2004-12-01)
The paper describes the results of field tests carried out using highly instrumented piles at a
very soft estuarine clayey silt deposit at Kinnegar, Belfast. The site has been used for a number of years as a
geotechnical ...
Observed installation effects of vibro-replacement stone columns in soft clay
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2008-09-03)
The installation of vibro replacement stone columns in any soil causes significant changes to
the stress regime around each probe location. In soft clays, the principal effects are caused by a cavity expansion mechanism ...
Measured and predicted t-z curves for a driven pile in lightly overconsolidated silt
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2008-04-03)
Data from a static compression load test on a single driven pile in a lightly overconsolidated silt
are presented in this paper. The pile was equipped with vibrating wire strain gauges along its length enabling
its load ...
