Cyclic thermo-mechanical material modelling and testing of 316 stainless steel
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2010-04-20)A programme of cyclic mechanical testing of a 316 stainless steel, at temperatures of up to 600 C under isothermal conditions, for the identification of material constitutive constants, has been carried out using a ... -
Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation
(2013)The difficulty in predicting the long term load capacity of concrete elements is well documented. Time dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage coupled with varying loading events, particularly during construction, ... -
The influence of creep on the settlement of foundations supported by stone columns
(2014-11-05)Vibro-replacement stone columns are widely used in geotechnical practice to improve the bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of weak natural soils and man-made fills, accelerate consolidation in fine soils and ... -
An investigation of the viscoelastic and mechano-sorptive creep behaviour of reinforced timber elements
(2016-12-15)The reinforcement of timber using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the strength and stiffness of members. Across Europe, this technology has been used, ... -
Modelling stone column installation in an elasto-viscoplastic soil
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-31)The majority of numerical studies investigating stone column performance have used “wished-in-place” columns (no installation effects) in conjunction with elastoplastic soil models (no viscous effects). In the first part ... -
A physically-based creep damage model for effects of different precipitate types
(Elsevier, 2016-10-13)The development of a new precipitate coarsening continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model to simulate the multi-precipitate strengthening mechanisms present in 9Cr steels under high temperature creep deformation is presented ... -
Physically-based methods for improved high temperature creep performance of 9Cr steels and welds: nano-, micro- and macro-scale studies
(NUI Galway, 2019-09-30)The reduction of emissions from fossil fuel power plants is essential to minimising the environmental impact of power generation and this can be achieved by higher temperature, with more efficient combustion of the fuel. ... -
Stone column effectiveness in soils with creep: a numerical study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-03-16)While it is well established that vibro stone columns reduce primary settlement and improve bearing capacity, their effect on creep compression has largely been overlooked to date. However, with increasing pressure to ... -
Stone column settlement performance in structured anisotropic clays: the influence of creep
(Elsevier, 2016-07-15)The recently developed elasto-viscoplastic Creep-SCLAY1S model has been used in conjunction with PLAXIS 2D to investigate the effectiveness of vibro-replacement in a creep-prone clay. The Creep-SCLAY1S model accounts for ... -
Viscoelastic creep of FRP reinforced glulam
(NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)The reinforcement of timber using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) rods or plates is widely accepted as an effective method of increasing the strength and stiffness of members, while at the same time reducing the variability ...
