(Elsevier, 2012-11)Moving Force Identification (MFI) theory can be used to create an algorithm for a Bridge Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system that can produce complete force histories of the loads that have traversed a bridge structure. MFI is ...
-
(2014-02-28)This paper provides guidance for the planning of urban heritage documentation using aerial laser scanning. The paper presents standard industrial considerations typically undertaken by commercial data providers and the ...
-
(IEEE, 2015-07-31)This paper presents a workflow including a novel algorithm for road detection from dense LiDAR fused with high-resolution aerial imagery data. Using a supervised machine learning approach point clouds are firstly classified ...
-
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), 2014-09-05)Heavy traffic and aggressive environmental conditions can cause unexpected bridge deterioration. Traditional condition evaluation is expensive. An alternative is Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) which is a non-contact ...
-
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-07)The translational restraints associated to pin and rocker bearings are typically idealized in the form of fixed and free conditions. However, elastomeric bearings need to be represented with springs to reasonably predict ...

-
(European Geosciences Union, 2016-02-29)We present a Bayesian hierarchical model for reconstructing the continuous and dynamic evolution of relative sea-level (RSL) change with quantified uncertainty. The reconstruction is produced from biological (foraminifera) ...
-
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015-08-28)This paper proposes a Big Data approach to automatically identify and extract buildings from a digital surface model created from aerial laser scanning data. The approach consists of two steps. The first step is a MapReduce ...
-
(2016-07-14)Catchment characterisation integrates an understanding of the physical characteristics, sources, pathways and pressures in a catchment, and provides a scientific basis for evaluation of mitigation measures required by the ...
-
(IOP Publishing, 2015-08)We aim to address the question of whether or not there is a significant recent 'hiatus', 'pause' or 'slowdown' of global temperature rise. Using a statistical technique known as change point (CP) analysis we identify the ...
-
(Sage Publications, 2015-04)Changes in the performance of bearings can significantly vary the distribution of internal forces and moments in a structure as a result of environmental or operational loads. The response of a bearing has been traditionally ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2014-09-10)Extant sloths present an evolutionary conundrum in that the two living genera are superficially similar (small-bodied, folivorous, arboreal) but diverged from one another approximately 30 million years ago and are ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2016)In order to be successful in a given environment a plant should invest in a vein and stomatal network that ensures balance between both water supply and demand. Vein density (Dv) and stomatal density (SD) have been shown ...
-
(Elsevier, 2014-03)This paper presents the fundamental mathematics to determine the minimum crack width detectable with a terrestrial laser scanner in unit-based masonry. Orthogonal offset, interval scan angle, crack orientation, and crack ...
-
(Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), 2013-02)Pesticides have been listed by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency as potentially dangerous pollutants that may pose a significant risk to the water environment in the Republic of Ireland (ROI). Although this analysis ...
-
(2012-09)In the past decade there has been a considerable increase in the number of bridges being instrumented for the purposes of vibration based monitoring, typically to monitor dynamic parameters such as frequencies and mode ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015-11)An understanding of how seasonal and longer-term δ18O signals in meteoric precipitation (δ18Op) are modified by percolation through soils is essential to link temporal changes in speleothem δ18O to surface climatic conditions. ...
-
(2016-07-14)Where surface waters are impacted by excess nutrients, understanding the sources of those nutrients is key to the development of effective, targeted, mitigation measures. In Ireland, nutrient emissions remains the top ...
-
(Oxford University Press, 2017-03-11)Background and Aims: Fluctuations in [CO2] have been widely studied as a potential driver of plant evolution; however, the role of a fluctuating [O2]:[CO2] ratio is often overlooked. The present study aimed to investigate ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-02-15)In this paper, the level of dynamics, as described by the Assessment Dynamic Ratio (ADR), is measured directly through a field test on a bridge in the United Kingdom. The bridge was instrumented using fiber optic strain ...
