Growing worldwide interest in the exploitation of geothermal energy resources has led to a scenario where the technology routinely forms part of building-scale renewable energy feasibility studies. A thorough understanding ...
Systems for weighing vehicles while they are in motion are in widespread use in many countries. The accuracy of these weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems is strongly influenced by the road profile and vehicle dynamics. Systems ...
Geotechnical characteristics of Dublin Boulder Clay (DBC) based on detailed site
investigation and site experience from some recent large projects in Dublin are presented.
This paper attempts to synthesise available ...
Detailed analysis of potential water chemistry and settlement issues associated with the installation of open-loop geothermal
systems is infrequently carried out. This has led to the failure of several previously installed ...
Despite billions of dollars of annual exposure from claims and litigation related to construction-induced damage, there are no quantitatively based, agreed upon standards or procedures as to what constitutes due diligence ...
A cost efficient way of investigating shallow sediments and for collecting soils data for many offshore geotechnical problems, e.g. anchoring of floating structures with suction piles or evaluation of submarine slope ...
The use of aerial laser scanning to detect change in infrastructure and buildings after major disasters has become increasingly common in recent years to help prioritize interventions. More recent efforts are being invested ...
A thermal response test (TRT) is a controlled insitu test during which a known quantity of heat energy is injected into a closed loop heat-exchanger pipe while the heat dissipation rate into the surrounding ground is ...
