Considering Environmental Effects on Porous Concrete Applications: An Experimental Investigation (2024)
Journal Article
Marinelli, A., & Rasheed, L. P. H. (2024). Considering Environmental Effects on Porous Concrete Applications: An Experimental Investigation. Procedia Structural Integrity, 54, 332-339. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prostr.2024.01.091

Urban areas worldwide grapple with ecological disruption due to overpopulation, exacerbated by impermeable concrete surfaces that hinder rainwater absorption, curb plant growth and foster urban heat islands. Innovative porous concrete applications we... Read More about Considering Environmental Effects on Porous Concrete Applications: An Experimental Investigation.

From point cloud data to structural modelling: the case study of the Tusk at Spynie Palace, Scotland (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marinelli, A., & Kumari, M. (2023, February). From point cloud data to structural modelling: the case study of the Tusk at Spynie Palace, Scotland. Presented at 27th International Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity (IGF27), Rome, Italy

The development of digital technologies has already supported the production of accurate representations of structures, with applications in conservation, monitoring and Building Information Modelling projects. The exploitability of their outputs rem... Read More about From point cloud data to structural modelling: the case study of the Tusk at Spynie Palace, Scotland.

Piano teachers’ perspectives on educational and professional aspects of instrumental graded exams in the United Kingdom (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marinelli, A., & Moir, Z. (2022, September). Piano teachers’ perspectives on educational and professional aspects of instrumental graded exams in the United Kingdom. Presented at 44th International Conference of the European Piano Teachers Association

Formal assessments in instrumental music education are much more than a snapshot-like summary of an achievement, although rarely considered within the entirety of their professional, social, economic and institutional context. Given the size of the m... Read More about Piano teachers’ perspectives on educational and professional aspects of instrumental graded exams in the United Kingdom.

Optimizing strengthening interventions on historic masonry walls: an experimental study (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marinelli, A., Santa, S., Spiliopoulos, A., & Dasiou, M. E. (2019, June). Optimizing strengthening interventions on historic masonry walls: an experimental study. Presented at 25th International Conference on Fracture and Structural Integrity, Catania, It

Scotland's historic environment is an essential part of the country's cultural background and its economy. T he country has a long history of building with stone and among the richest legacies of traditional and historic buildings in the United Kingd...

An experimental study on restoration technique for the Acropolis of Athens: developing the experimental set-up for pull-out testing of titanium bars embedded in marble blocks (2019)
Journal Article
Dakanali, I., & Marinelli, A. (2019). An experimental study on restoration technique for the Acropolis of Athens: developing the experimental set-up for pull-out testing of titanium bars embedded in marble blocks. Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale (Fract

The present work aims at investigating the mechanisms activated during the extraction of titanium bars from a marble volume (pull-out phenomenon), used for rejoining fragmented marble structural members at the monuments of the Acropolis of Athens. Th... Read More about An experimental study on restoration technique for the Acropolis of Athens: developing the experimental set-up for pull-out testing of titanium bars embedded in marble blocks.

Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., Mcdougall, J., Barreto, D., Marinelli, A., Dimitriadi, V., Anbazhagan, P., & Miranda, M. (2019, June). Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels. Presented at 7th International Co

The dynamic properties of shredded rubber-soil mixtures (ShRm), comprising a sub-rounded quartz sand combined with small rubber shreds at 0, 10, 20, 30% by mass, were investigated. Testing ranged from small strain, in resonant column apparatus, to la... Read More about Experimental assessment of stiffness and damping in rubber-sand mixtures at various strain levels.

Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms (2019)
Journal Article
Fonseca, J., Riaz, A., Bernal-Sanchez, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., McDougall, J., Miranda Manzanares, M., …Dimitriadi, V. (2019). Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms. Géotechnique Letter

Sand-rubber mixture (SRm) behaviour is affected by rubber content (RC) whilst dissipation in sands is caused by inter-particle sliding. Dissipation in SRm is as, or more significant than in sands. However, the mechanisms of dissipation in SRm are not... Read More about Particle-scale interaction in sand-rubber mixtures and their influence on energy dissipation mechanisms.

Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., Miranda, M., & Marinelli, A. (2018, June). Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures. Presented at 16th European Conference on Earthquake Engineering, Thessaloniki

Residential buildings in high population density areas are seismically vulnerable to the action of major seismic events. The high cost and technical difficulties related to the use of advanced seismic isolations systems precludes its installation to... Read More about Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures.
