A database of research quality CPTU and shear wave velocity
information for Norwegian marine clays has been assembled so as to study the small
strain stiffness relationships for these materials and to examine the potential ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering
works in silty soils based on a detailed characterisation of a glaciomarine silt from Os in western Norway. It was found that these soils are ...
The purpose of this paper is to present a review of peat landslide events in
Ireland since 2003, when two significant events occurred. Since 2003, there have been at
least thirteen such events. Several of these events ...
Although peat slope failures have occurred in Ireland for many thousands of years their causal
factors and the triggering mechanisms involved are poorly understood. A particular barrier to
quantitative assessment of the ...
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 ...
With one of the highest energy dependencies in the European Union, Ireland
must adapt quickly to renewable energy technologies or risk paying the penalty in the
form of high energy prices in years to come. Escalating ...
Creation of an environment in which shallow geothermal energy can thrive
will require a coherent approach and a high level of collaboration with professionals from
countries that have developed technical expertise in the ...
Ireland has one of the highest energy dependencies in Europe and as such must adapt quickly to increase renewable energy exploitation levels in order to secure its energy future. A mix of renewable energy technology types ...
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 ...
Practising engineers in the Dublin, Ireland, area have much experience in dealing with the boulder clay which underlies much of the city. However, significant deposits of estuarine soils, some of them soft, exist along the ...
