Ireland's water treatment residual (WTR) production rate and reuse situation was investigated to complement the novel research on WTR reuse development in University College Dublin, Ireland. The resulting GIS maps reveal ...
Currently, organic polymers are adopted in alum sludge (aluminium-coagulated drinking water treatment sludge) conditioning. However, there are important concerns regarding the use of these polymers because of the unknown ...
This paper presents the results of a series of field experiments performed to study the effect of installation method on the shaft resistance developed by a pile installed in soft clayey silt. Tests were performed on piles ...
This paper presents the results from an experimental programme that studied the factors affecting the bearing resistance of shallow footings in sand. In particular, the tests considered the effects of the footing width and ...
Aerial Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) offers the potential to auto-generate detailed, three-dimensional (3D) models of the built environment in urban settings. Auto-generation is needed as manual generation is not ...
As a biomass material, bone char was investigated for the feasibility to be used as a cost-effective biosorbent for fluoride removal from drinking water in groundwater environment. Based on the batch tests with natural ...
The progressive settlement of a plantation in North Carolina is explored through a post-damage inspection.
If a building is experiencing settlement or other deleterious movement, the underlying causes must be established ...
This study examined the form, pattern and extractability of phosphorus (P) retained in alum sludge (an aluminium-containing drinking water treatment residual in dewatered cake form), which was used as substrate in laboratory ...
A one-day workshop was convened to address obstacles to success of American women
faculty in Geotechnical Engineering. The workshop, sponsored by the National Science
Foundation (NSF), was held in October 2003, in ...
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 ...
Laefer, Debra F.(American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE), 2009-07)
Despite tremendous advances by women in the natural and applied sciences, where in selective fields women have surpassed men in the earning of doctoral degrees for more nearly 20 years, female enrollment levels in engineering ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Rehabilitation of building structures is a critical need facing numerous older urban areas. Many of these structures are supported on pile groups, which do not have adequate load capacity to support the demands expected ...
The experimental procedures and results are presented for a one-tenth scale laboratory investigation of changes in achievable grouted zones through alterations in helical pier parameters. The parameters investigated were ...
The Water Framework Directive has been the catalyst for a considerable amount of data collection, analysis and research covering a wide range of physical and biological characteristics and involving a wide range of scientific, ...
Jet grouting is a ground improvement technique that has become widely adopted over the past three decades, yet relatively little data has been published about performance characteristics of mixes under adverse conditions, ...
In line with the increasing studies on the beneficial reuse of alum sludge from a “waste” into useful raw material, this paper reports an in-depth investigation of the effects of ageing time on the structure and the phosphate ...
