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, ... -
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. ...
