• Urban Institute Ireland [157]

• Application of constructed wetland for urban lake water purification : trial of Xing-qing Lake in Xi’an city, China 

  Cui, F. ; Zhou, Q. ; Wang, Y. ; Zhao, Y.Q. (Taylor & Francis, 2011-06)

  A comprehensive review of the current water pollution status in China has indicated that the urban lakes in Chinese cities have suffered from serious pollution and in high risk of eutrophication although the pollution ...
• Cartel stability and the Joint Executive Committee, 1880-1886 

  Lobato, Ignacio N. ; Walsh, Patrick P. (Trinity College Dublin. Department of Economics, 1994)

  In this paper we analyse a railroad cartel run by the Joint Executive Committee (JEC) in the United States in the nineteenth century. The JEC was a cartel whose members anticipated a periodic fall in demand due to competition ...
• The Effect of Lane Changing on Long-Span Highway Bridge Traffic Loading 

  Enright, Bernard ; Carey, Colm ; Caprani, Colin C. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (CRC Press, 2012-07-08)

  Maximum loading on long-span bridges typically occurs in congested traffic conditions. As traffic becomes congested car drivers may change lane, increasing the tendency for trucks to travel in platoons. For long-span ...
• The origin and significance of mushroom stones in lowland karst regions 

  Dunne, Louise ; Feehan, John (Royal Irish Academy, 2002)

  'Mushroom stones', or 'wave stones', are limestone erratics or protruding bedrock that shows signs of erosion or dissolution suggestive of prolonged exposure to standing water. Fifty-three stones in the central lowlands ...
• Physically-based, distributed, catchment modelling for estimating sediment and phosphorus loads to rivers and lakes : issues of model complexity, spatial and temporal scales and data requirements 

  Nasr, Ahmed Elssidig ; Bruen, Michael ; Jordan, Phillip ; Moles, Richard ; Kiely, Gerard ; Byrne, Paul (Office of Public Works, 2004-11)
• Estimation of lifetime maximum distributions of bridge traffic load effects 

  O'Brien, Eugene J. ; Hajializadeh, Donya ; Sheils, Emma ; Enright, Bernard (CRC Press, 2012-07-08)

  This paper considers the problem of assessing traffic loading on road bridges. A database of European WIM data is used to determine accurate annual maximum distributions of load effect. These in turn are used to find the ...
• Urbanization and the regional distribution of population in post-Famine Ireland 

  Walsh, Brendan M. (University College Dublin. School of Economics, 1999-10)
• Recommendations for Dynamic Allowance in Bridge Assessment 

  O'Brien, Eugene J. ; González, Arturo ; Znidaric, Ales (CRC Press, 2012-07-08)

  This paper summarises the developments in the dynamic response of bridges to traffic loading based on a large amount of simulations and field tests carried out within the 6th EU framework ARCHES (2006-2009). When assessing ...
• Load effect of multi-lane traffic simulations on long-span bridges 

  Caprani, Colin C. ; Lipari, Alessandro ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Taylor & Francis, 2012-06-08)

  The traffic loading of long-span bridges is governed by congestion. Real-world observations show that congestion can take up different forms. Nevertheless, most previous studies on bridge traffic loading considered only a ...
