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 ...
A three-tiered, enterprise, GIS architecture offers a robust, efficient, and secure platform to potentially revolutionize disaster management by enabling support of all of the phases of governmental activity that must occur ...
Waterworks sludge continues to be an inescapable by-product of the potable water treatment process. Accordingly, final disposal of the sludge remains one of the most significant pressing problems for the potable water ...
The Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique, used
to determine shear wave velocity (Vs) and hence small strain stiffness (Gmax), has
recently generated considerable interest in the geophysics community. ...
Sustainability in the construction industry can only be achieved through a radical rethinking of building construction and reuse. This paper outlines the problems and offers innovative solutions that embrace technological ...
Phosphorus (P) desorption from P-saturated alum sludge, which was used as main substrate in a novel constructed wetland for wastewater treatment, was studied. Groups of batch experiments were designed and conducted to ...
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 ...
This research assessed the use of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) as a skeleton builder for sludge dewatering since polymer conditioning of sludge affected only the rate of water release, not the extent of dewatering. The use of gypsum ...
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 ...
The photocatalysis of natural organic matter, fulvic acid (FA), by P25 TiO2 in terms of UV254 and TOC concentrations was investigated in this study. The experiments were conducted in a lab-scale photocatalysis-ultrafiltration ...
Concept and purpose
Virtually all water treatment facilities worldwide generate an enormous amount of water treatment residual (WTR) solids for which environmentally-friendly end-use options are continually being sought ...
For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
Many highway bridges carry traffic in two same-direction lanes, and modeling the
traffic loading on such bridges has been the subject of numerous studies. Different
assumptions have been used to model multiple-presence ...
The aim of this study is to obtain optimal decolourization conditions for Acid blue-7 (AB7) wastewater treatment by Ti/TiO2 photoelectrocatalysis using response surface methodology (RSM). On the basis of a three-variable ...
An effective disaster management system requires collection of baseline data that is comprehensive, accurate, timely, and accessible. Without these four characteristics, an effective, economical, and task-oriented disaster ...
Traditional means to predict tunnel-induced damage for large groups of potentially affected above ground structures has generally focused on creating a settlement trough and estimating subsequent building response limited ...
Computation modelling has not been fully exploited for predicting building damage due to tunnel-induced subsidence, because of the expense and time required to create computational meshes for the vast quantity of buildings ...
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 ...
The objective of this study was to assess the suitability of statistical and the k-C* models to projecting treatment performance of constructed wetlands by applying the models to predict the final effluent concentrations ...
