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 ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering works in silty
soils. A detailed characterisation of two estuarine silt sites in Ireland is performed and the soil
properties are linked to their ...
A comparative study of the NGI Direct Simple Shear Test (DSST) and the Mikasa Direct Shear Test (DST) is reported. Samples from Norwegian Drammen clay and Japanese Ariake clay were subjected to both types of test. An ...
In this study, alum sludge was introduced into co-conditioning and dewatering with an anaerobic digested activated sludge to examine the role of the alum sludge in improving the dewaterbility of the mixed sludge and also ...
Due to increasing time, cost and transportation difficulties, Irish contractors
are seeking an alternative to conventional static pile load tests. As a result several
firms have adopted dynamic testing techniques to ...
This paper is a research brief highlighting the development of a novel alum sludge based constructed wetland system, aimed at reducing the pollution effects of agricultural run-offs. Alum sludge is a by-product of drinking ...
Dewatered alum sludge, a by-product of drinking water treatment plants, hitherto consigned to landfills was used to develop a novel bio-filter in form of a constructed wetland. Performance results have demonstrated the ...
Conditioning of an alum-based water treatment sludge by single and dual polymers was investigated in this study. Capillary suction time (CST), specific resistance to filtration (SRF) and settling rate of conditioned sludge ...
In this paper, statistics-based experimental design with response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the effect of operation conditions on photoelectrocatalytic oxidation of fulvic acid (FA) using a ...
Drinking-water treatment sludge (DWTS) produced at water treatment plants is an inescapable by-product and has long been treated as a waste for landfill. In this study, a series of batch adsorption tests were conducted ...
