    • Evidence of stabilised peat as a net carbon sink 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-01-09)
      Mass stabilization, a ground improvement solution used for construction in peatlands, involves mixing suitable dry binders into the peat, increasing strength and stiffness and reducing permeability. A previous pilot study ...

    • Laboratory Push-In Resistance Tests (PIRT) in a cement-stabilised pseudo-fibrous peat 

      Ó Conchubhair, Iarfhlaith; McCabe, Bryan A.; Timoney, Martin J. (Civil Engineering Research in Ireland CERI, 2018-08-29)
      Deep dry soil mixing (DDSM) is a form of ground improvement in which dry binders are injected and mixed in situ, forming individual columns, rows or interlocking panels, thereby improving the geotechnical characteristics ...

    • Stabilisation for peat improvement: Extent of carbonation and environmental implications 

      Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (Elsevier, 2020-06-13)
      The construction industry is a large contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. In recent years, the industry has begun to consider sustainability alongside technical merit, cost and programme when analysing construction ...
