Liam Dromey Supervisors: Kieran Ruane John Justin Murphy Brian O’Rourke __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract A Bridge Rehabilitation Strategy based on the Analysis of a Dataset of Bridge Inspections in Co. Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.

  • We Started the Year on the New World, at Charleston in South Carolina, and Ended It in the Old World at Falmouth, UK
    We started the year on the New World, at Charleston in South Carolina, and ended it in the Old World at Falmouth, UK. In between, we’ve covered 6,281 nautical miles, made our second Atlantic crossing, and have now travelled 65,720 nm on Dirona. We arrived into Charleston, South Carolina on New Year’s Day and spent a great three weeks there. We explored the city by tender, bicycle and on foot, including a tour of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. The city lived up to its reputation for excellent food and we even managed to catch a couple of hockey games while in town. From Charleston we worked south to Daytona with stops at upscale Hilton Head Island, laid-back Brunswick, beautiful Cumberland Island and historic St. Augustine, witnessing first-hand the devastation wreaked by Touring the USS Yorktown in Charleston, SC. Hurricane Mathew in October of 2016. During our six-week stay in Daytona we went to the boat shows in Miami, enjoyed the season opener for the World of Outlaws Sprint Car racing, “The Greatest Show on Dirt!”, joined the 500,000 other attendees at the 76th annual Bike Week motorcycle Attending the Daytona 500. event, and spent four super- exciting days at Daytona International Speedway for the Anchored off Castillo de San Marcos in St. Daytona 500 and supporting Augustine, FL. events. Our next stop was Newport, Rhode Island to stage for our Atlantic crossing to Ireland. We arrived in early April as the docks were just going back in the water after winter and had the marina pretty much to ourselves during our entire five-week stay.

  • Mizen Ring Gives You the Chance to Immerse Yourself in the Various Strands That Make the Mizen Unique
    Goleen, Crookhaven and Mizen The Mizen Peninsula, at Ireland’s most southwesterly point, is worldwide renown for the beauty of its rugged landscape and ancient heritage. A tour of the Mizen Ring gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the various strands that make the Mizen unique. From geology, flora, birds and fauna to the influence of man and his history on the landscape. Travelling west from Schull you drive along the bog road built originally in the eighteenth century to carry butter to Cork for export to the new colonies. TOORMORE As you approach Toormore on your left you will see the Altar Dolmen, a neolithic tomb. On the right just after that is The Altar Church built during the Famine as relief work. In the grounds of the Altar Restaurant a recent find was a Wedge Tomb from the Bronze Age. GOLEEN You continue on through the townlands of Kealfadda, Ballyrisode and Ballydevlin until you reach Goleen. This village was built during the nineteenth century at a crossroads where a cattle fair was held. You will see that the street is very wide and all the houses were originally built as shops. There is a hidden harbour down to the left in the village, which gives the village its name ‘Goilin’, ‘little inlet’. Although the harbour dries at low tide, giving great feeding for a variety of wildlife including a fox and a pheasant, there is a deepwater quay at the entrance to accommodate fishing boats and yachts. CROOKHAVEN Crookhaven Harbour is as picturesque as it was useful being a large sheltered harbour.
