Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 1: a review of instrumentation and procedures
(ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)Preliminary pile tests are becoming increasingly routine in piling projects, some of which are instrumented to help optimise working pile design. However, the execution of a successful test on an instrumented concrete ... -
Instrumented concrete pile tests – part 2: strain interpretation
(ICE Publishing, 2021-11-03)The incorporation of strain gauges (traditionally electrical resistance and vibrating wire gauges but increasingly fibre optic sensors) within concrete piles enables an enhanced understanding of the shear stress distribution ... -
Instrumented single and group piles in Belfast soft clay
(Australian Geomechanics Society, 2000-12)The paper presents a number of key findings from an experimental pile test programme, which is currently underway at a soft clay test bed site on the outskirts of Belfast, Northern Ireland. These findings provide additional ... -
An integrated approach to trophic assessment of coastal waters incorporating measurement, modelling and water quality classification
(2012)Various protocols have been developed for trophic assessment of coastal waters but most incorporate single value compliance criteria for water quality parameters which, in reality, exhibit significant spatial variation. ... -
An integrated assessment of nitrogen source, transformation and fate within an intensive dairy system to inform management change.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-23)From an environmental perspective optimised dairy systems, which follow current regulations, still have low nitrogen (N) use efficiency, high N surplus (kg N ha-1) and enable ad-hoc delivery of direct and indirect reactive ... -
An integrated connectivity risk ranking for phosphorus and nitrogen along agricultural open ditches to inform targeted and specific mitigation management
(Frontiers Media, 2024-02-19)On dairy farms with poorly drained soils and high rainfall, open ditches receive nutrients from different sources along different pathways which are delivered to surface water. Recently, open ditches were ranked in terms ... -
Integrated demand response solution towards energy positive neighbourhoods: Demand response programs overview
(RESPOND Consortium, 2017)Purpose: this reports presents an analysis of the contemporary demand response (DR) programs and solutions, already applied at European and Worldwide level. The document is divided into two main parts: the first one ... -
Integrating tagging into the web of data: Overview and combination of existing tag ontologies
(Taiwan Academic Network, 2011-07)As the number of social websites offering tagging facilities increases, tagging has become not only a common basis for user participation, but also an important aspect of social content. Tagging is primarily based on the ... -
Integration of fault detection and diagnosis with energy management standard ISO 50001 and operations and maintenance of HVAC systems
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2013-06-16)Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) has become a robust scientific field offering proven methods for the optimization and more effective operation of HVAC systems. However, FDD practical application faces ... -
Interactions, mechanisms and impact of future coastal urban flooding. A case study of Cork city
(Hydrology Ireland, 2020-11-17)In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Mechanisms of flooding play a crucial role in flood characteristics with distinctive differences in flood wave ... -
Interactive Water Services: The Waternomics Approach
