Experimental study of hybrid precast concrete lattice girder floor at construction stage
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
s part of an on-going research project on the hybrid precast lattice girder floor system, a series of six specimens were physically tested in the laboratory to investigate the behaviour of the floor at construction stage. ...
An exploration of attainment in leaving cert mathematics, and correlation, if any, with progression from first year civil engineering in GMIT
(2015)
The ‘Mathematical Problem’ has been reported and discussed extensively in Ireland and internationally for the last twenty years. This problem relates to students entering numerate disciplines, such as Engineering, and the ...
Real-time monitoring to investigate structural performance of hybrid precast concrete educational buildings
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-11-22)
The motivation and implementation of a real-time structural health monitoring strategy to determine the structural performance of a number of educational buildings recently constructed in Ireland is discussed in this paper. ...
Real-time monitoring of a hybrid precast and in-situ concrete flat slab system
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
This paper presents a scheme developed for instrumentation and monitoring of the structural performance of a hybrid precast and in-situ concrete flat slab system employed in an educational building. The system contains a ...
Real-time monitoring of concrete–lattice-girder slabs during construction
(ICE Publishing, 2017-12)
This paper reports on the instrumentation, monitoring and some preliminary results from a real-time monitoring scheme of a hybrid concrete–lattice-girder slab flooring system. One of the key benefits of this monitoring ...
Behaviour of hybrid concrete lattice girder flat slab system using insitu structural health monitoring
(2016)
In recent decades, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has emerged as an increasingly important tool in Civil Engineering to understand how structures behave during construction and operation. Although SHM is not a new ...
Potential applications for image-based systems in structural engineering
(2016)
This paper presents a series of examples where systems based on images have been used to quantify deformation and strain fields for different applications. The objective of this work is to highlight the strengths and ...
The use of Streaming Current Monitors in optimising coagulant dosage in Water Treatment Plants
(2018-08-30)
All water sources contain a mixture of organic/inorganic particulate or dissolved contaminants, in addition to microbes (i.e. bacteria, viruses and protozoa), which can be pathogenic (i.e. disease causing) to humans. Irish ...
Investigation of thermal behaviour of a hybrid concrete floor using embedded sensors
(Springer (International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials), 2018-10-05)
Concrete structures expand and contract in response to temperature changes which can result in structural strain and
cracking. However, there is a limited amount of robust field data on hybrid concrete floor structures. ...
Experimental investigation of optimum properties and conditions for use of anionic emulsions in road maintenance applications
(2020-08)
Bitumen emulsions are used for a range of road maintenance applications, including surface dressing, gravel seals, slurry seals, tack coating, cold-mix asphalt and in situ pavement recycling. The emulsions used can be ...
