Research into bridge loading applies existing science and techniques to solve what is quite obviously a practical problem. Even so, I’m often asked what good is the research, and “sure isn’t that all known about already?”. Those involved in pure blue-skies research must have it much worse than I do. In reading Petr Beckman‘s A […]
Rather than having to download the full 18.7 MB, this re-vamped section of the website outlines the research carried out for my PhD. The abstract is here, which gives a brief outline whilst a little more information on the particular aspects of the problem are outlined here.
My PhD thesis is available for download as a pdf here (18.7 MB). It’s called Probabilistic Analysis of Highway Bridge Traffic Loading and generally does exactly what it says on the tin. I carried out he work under the supervision of Prof. Eugene O’Brien at University College Dublin, and I was examined by Prof. Enrique […]
