Consequences of varied soil hydraulic and meteorological complexity on unsaturated zone time lag estimates.
Vero, S.E.; Healy, Mark G. (Elsevier, 2014-10-13)The true efficacy of a programme of agricultural mitigation measures within a catchment to improve water quality can be determined only after a certain hydrologic time lag period (subsequent to implementation) has elapsed. ... -
The creation of a living laboratory for structural engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway
Goggins, Jamie; Byrne, D; Cannon, E (2012)The recently completed New Engineering Building (NEB) at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) is a new state of the art academic facility on the university's north campus. The building unites all five ... -
Effect of sawdust addition and composting of feedstock on renewable energy and biochar production from pyrolysis of anaerobically digested pig manure
Shane M. Troy, Tereza Nolan, James J. Leahy, Peadar G. Lawlor, Mark G. Healy, Witold Kwapinski; Nolan, Tereza; Leahy, James J.; Lawlor, Peadar G.; Healy, Mark G.; Kwapinski, Witold (2013) -
Impact of biochar addition to soil on greenhouse gas emissions following pig manure application
Troy, Shane M.; O' Flynn, Cornelius J.; Healy, Mark G. (2013)The application of biochar produced from wood and crop residues, such as sawdust, straw, sugar bagasse and rice hulls, to highly weathered soils under tropical conditions has been shown to influence soil greenhouse gas ... -
The impact of chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry before land application on soil phosphorus dynamics
Brennan, Raymond B.; Healy, Mark G. (Taylor and Francis, 2014-08-22)Application of dairy cattle slurry to agricultural soils, particularly those with high phosphorus (P) status or vulnerability to runoff, can increase P loss to waterbodies, which may accelerate eutrophication. While the ... -
Incidental phosphorus and nitrogen loss from grassland plots receiving chemically amended dairy cattle slurry.
Brennan, Raymond B.; Healy, Mark G. (Elsevier, 2012-09)Chemical amendment of dairy cattle slurry has been shown to effectively reduce incidental phosphorus (P) losses in runoff; however, the effects of amendments on incidental nitrogen (N) losses are not as well documented. ... -
Numerical model for steel brace members incorporating a fatigue model
Salawdeh, Suhaib; Goggins, Jamie (2013)The aim of this paper is to develop a robust numerical model for cold-formed steel square and rectangular structural hollow sections for use as axial loaded members in earthquake engineering applications. Pseudo-static ... -
Numerical modelling to aid in the structural health monitoring of wave energy converters
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2013)A vital aspect of ensuring the cost effectiveness of wave energy converters (WECs) is being able to monitor their performance remotely through structural health monitoring, as these devices are deployed in very harsh ... -
Numerical simulation of linear water waves and wave-structure interaction
Finnegan, William; Goggins, Jamie (2012)One of the main stages in the design of wave energy converters (WEC's) is the numerical modelling of a given converter. In this paper, the numerical simulation of both linear deep water waves and linear waves for the finite ... -
The performance of granitic, shale and limestone forest road aggregates under repeated loading
Healy, Mark G. (American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014-01-20)This study compared the performance of three aggregate layerings, commonly used in the construction of unbound forest roads in Ireland, when they were subjected to repeated loading in a new large-scale test rig. These ... -
A review of phosphorus and sediment release from Irish tillage soils, the methods used to quantify losses and the current state of mitigation practice.
Regan, John T.; Healy, Mark G. (2012)Throughout the European Union (EU), agricultural soils with high phosphorus (P) status due to a surplus input of fertiliser have been identified as a landscape pressure impacting on water quality. In the Republic of Ireland, ...
