Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation
Byrne, David; Goggins, Jamie (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, ... -
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 ... -
Factors affecting Embodied Carbon/Embodied Energy associated with ground improvements techniques for construction on peat
Duggan, Alan R.; McCabe, Bryan A.; Goggins, Jamie; Clifford, Eoghan (NUI Galway, 2012)In addition to the traditional drivers of cost and timely programme delivery, embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC) have emerged as major considerations in all aspects (including geotechnical) of large construction ... -

How accurate are Energy Performance Certificates indicated energy savings of building retrofits?
Moran, P.; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)With the impending nearly zero energy building (NZEB) regulations for residential new builds and retrofits for the European Union (EU) housing stock and the percentage of new buildings relative to existing buildings is ... -
Improving the Delivery of a Construction Management Study-Abroad Course in Ireland through Student Feedback
Goggins, Jamie (2012)International study abroad offers limitless opportunities for students to learn outside of the traditional university setting. By living and learning in a foreign country, the student's exposure to a different culture can ... -
An Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) assessment of a partially-retrofitted university building
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Manton, Richard; Griffin, Corey; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2018-05-07)Achieving standards-based Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in existing buildings is growing steadily due to the strong demand for deep retrofits in Europe. Existing non-domestic buildings pose challenges mainly due to ... -
The influence of heat transfer and storage in structural precast building components on indoor environments
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie (2014)Knowledge about the heat transfer and storage in concrete components of the building envelope is vital in evaluating the environmental and energy performance of buildings. Providing sufficient thermal mass of the building ... -
Investigation of the seismic performance of braced frames through both testing and analysis
Broderick, Brian Michael; Goggins, Jamie (2008)The results of shake table tests on three concentrically-braced sub-frames are compared with a series of correlative inelastic analyses. Both transient time-history and nonlinear static (pushover) analyses are considered. ... -
Key considerations in the design of a one-stop-shop retrofit model
McGinley, Orlaith; Moran, Paul; Goggins, Jamie (Civil Engineering Research Assiciation of Ireland (CERAI) and Cork Institute of Technology, 2020-08-27)The Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan emphasizes the need for increased retrofit activity within the built environment. As such, the plan has set targets for the completion of 500,000 energy efficient retrofits by ... -
Lifecycle environmental and economic performance of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB) in Ireland
Goggins, Jamie; Moran, Paul; Armstrong, Alan; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena (Elsevier, 2016-01-16)Directives in the European Union are ensuring that buildings in this region are moving towards nearly zero energy buildings (NZEB). For countries like Ireland, which has a temperate oceanic climate, a key to achieving NZEB ... -
Linear irregular wave generation in a numerical wave tank
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2015-07-09)In the design of any floating or fixed marine structure, it is vital to test models in order to understand the fluid/structure interaction involved. A relatively inexpensive method, compared to physical model testing, of ... -
Methodology for quality checks for energy efficient buildings
Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Goggins, Jamie; Keane, Marcus M. (NUI Galway, 2017-03-01)The built environment accounts for more than 40% of the overall energy consumption and 36% of the overall CO2 emissions in Europe. Moreover, statistics show that construction and the upkeep of European buildings and ... -
