The effect of using coarse grain in the upper layer of a gravel-based reed bed is investigated. The aim for testing the “anti-sized” arrangement of gravel media is to seek a solution for the practical problem of medium ...
The concept, design and performance analysis of a four-stage novel constructed wetland system (CWs) capable of enhanced and simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P) and organic matter (OM) from wastewaters is described. Alum ...
This paper is a snapshot in time of the personal backgrounds, educational training, professional ranking, and productivity levels of those individuals with respect to Compendex-listed journal paper. Important questions are ...
A major landslide event occurred at Pollatomish, County Mayo, Ireland in
September 2003, during a period of intense rainfall. It comprised about 30 significant
individual longitudinal planar type slides of peat and ...
Two separate sets of reed bed systems were operated in parallel for the purpose to study a comparative behaviour of high strength animal wastewater treatment. Each system consisted of five-stage gravel-based reed beds. The ...
A comprehensive review of the current water pollution status in China has indicated that the urban lakes in Chinese cities have suffered from serious pollution and in high risk of eutrophication although the pollution ...
The determination of characteristic bridge load effect is a complex problem. Usually,
statistical extrapolation of simulated static load effects is used to derive a lifetime
characteristic static load effect. However, ...
A Discrete Particle Scheme (DPS) consisting of interacting circular particles is
utilised to examine the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique.
Synthetic earth models of various complexity are generated ...
This paper describes the results of static compression and tension load tests performed
on three-instrumented large diameter Continuous Flight Auger piles installed in
Dublin boulder clay. The piles developed very high ...
Increasingly, industrial operations adjoin residential communities. As the demand for natural resources increases, this problem is only more likely to exacerbate in coming decades. Thus, it is imperative to fully understand ...
Building reuse is a linchpin to managing solid waste. Despite the various benefits beyond contributing to sustainability that can be realized through building reuse, including direct and indirect cost savings, truncated ...
Laboratory testing for foundation design offers advantages over field-testing, especially, where existing installations preclude easy accessibility. Advantages include a homogeneous soil, ability to place instrumentation ...
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 ...
The adsorption characteristics of phosphate adsorption on the dewatered alum sludge were identified as a function of pH and ion strengths in solution. In addition, adsorption mechanisms were investigated by conducting batch ...
Aluminium-based water treatment residual (Al-WTR) is the most widely generated residual from water treatment facilities worldwide. It is regarded as a by-product of no reuse potential and landfilled. This study assessed ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Questions about the economic and environmental sustainability of current waste management scenarios in Europe for various organic wastes, the policy drive at the EU, and the subsequent adoption of EU policy at national ...
Alternative conditioning of aluminium-based drinking water treatment sludge using Fenton reagent (Fe2+/H2O2) was examined in this study. Focuses were placed on effectiveness and factors to affect such novel application of ...
