(Geological Society of London, 2008-02)Recent peat failures in Ireland in the autumn of 2003 at Pollatomish, County Mayo and Derrybrien, County Galway have focused attention on such events. However, peat failures are not a recent phenomenon with possible ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-05)Dewatered alum sludge, a widely generated by-product of drinking water treatment plants using aluminium salts as coagulants was used as main substrate in a pilot on-site constructed wetland system treating agricultural ...
-
(Getty Publications, 2006-05)Use of microcrystalline waxes for the protection of ceramic art objects from seismic events is an inexpensive and relatively popular technique in museum exhibition practice (Fig. 1). Unfortunately, because of the high ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2008-03)Foundation reuse is a tricky business at the best of times. For structures predating the mid-20th century, the challenge is exacerbated by the presence of a variety of foundation types, techniques, and materials no longer ...
-
(NRC Research Press, 2008-12)Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials and it is known that application ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-10)This study assessed the potential reuse of an aluminium coagulated drinking–water treatment sludge (Al–DWTS) as a main substrate in constructed wetland to replace soil for the treatment of P-enriched wastewater. The ...
-
(IWA Publishing, 2009-07)This research has two eventual goals: (1) To optimize performance of subsurface constructed wetlands for removal of phosphorus (P) (2) To demonstrate that dewatered alum sludge (a by-product), can be reused as a constructed ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-01)The application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to the treatment of an effluent contaminated with hydrocarbon oils was investigated. The AOPs conducted were Fe2+/H2O2 (Fenton’s reagent), Fe2+/H2O2/UV (Photo-Fenton’s ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2004-11)The characteristics of pre-regulated American cements differ fundamentally from those manufactured afterwards, both in terms of physical and chemical properties and with regard to cement consistency. This paper presents ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-01)In this study, beneficial reuse of the alum-contained drinking water treatment sludge is extended into developing a novel constructed wetland system (CWs) using the alum sludge as main substrate. The study reports on the ...
-
(2010-02)Dublin, Ireland is scheduled to constructing its first metro in 2010, with a pair of tunnels connecting the city center to the airport. This study presents first-order predictions of the anticipated soil settlement and ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2009-11)In many tunneling and excavation projects, free-field vertical ground movements have been used to predict subsidence and empirical limits have been employed to evaluate risk. Validity of such approaches given the reality ...
-
(Elsevier, 2009-04)Both planning and design of integrated municipal solid waste management systems require accurate prediction of waste generation. This research predicted the quantity and distribution of biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) ...
-
(IWA Publishing, 2011-06)This study examined a novel reuse of the alum sludge, an inescapable by-product of the production of drinking water when aluminium salt is added as a coagulant, as the main medium in a laboratory-scale multi-stage constructed ...
-
(Elsevier, 2004-09-01)The purification capacity of a laboratory scale tidal flow reed bed system with final effluent recirculation at a ratio of 1:1 was investigated in this study. In particular, the four-stage reed bed system was heavily loaded ...
-
(ASCE, 2009-02)It is well accepted that the quality of soft clay samples obtained using standard fixed piston samplers can be relatively poor and that block samples are necessary to yield very high quality samples. However for many ...
-
(University College Dublin. Urban Institute Ireland, 2009)The urban fabric of the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) has expanded rapidly over the past 20 years. In an effort to coordinate development across the region the “Strategic Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area” were ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2010-06)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 ...
-
(Elsevier, 2004-10-29)The fate of ammoniacal-nitrogen (NH4-N) was studied in a lab-scale downflow reed bed system treating an artificial landfill leachate. Individual reed beds were submerged by the leachate, then drained and rinsed by tap ...
-
(Elsevier, 2011-04)This study investigated the glyphosate adsorption by water treatment residual (termed as alum sludge) in dewatered form (DAS) and liquid form (LAS). Batch adsorption tests were carried out with DAS at different pH, particle ...
