Influence of geotextile encasement on the behaviour of stone columns: Laboratory study (2016)
Journal Article
Miranda, M., Da Costa, A., Castro, J., & Sagaseta, C. (2017). Influence of geotextile encasement on the behaviour of stone columns: Laboratory study. Geotextiles and Geomembranes, 45(1), 14-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geotexmem.2016.08.004

This paper presents a study of the influence of the geotextile encasement on the behaviour of soft soils improved with fully penetrating encased columns. This influence is analysed by means of measuring soil-column stress distribution, pore pressures...

The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Jokisalo, J., & Sirén, K. (2016). The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house. In Proceedings of the 3rd IBPSA-England Conference BSO 2016

This study aims to investigate the energy demand response (DR) actions on energy consumption and cost for a thermal energy storage system with a ground source heat pump in a detached residential house in a cold climate. This aim was applied for two b... Read More about The potential of predictive control in minimizing the electricity cost in a heat-pump heated residential house.

Translation between existing and proposed harmonized airborne sound insulation descriptors: A statistical approach based on in-situ measurements (2016)
Journal Article
Monteiro, C., Machimbarrena, M., Tarrero, A. I., & Smith, R. S. (2017). Translation between existing and proposed harmonized airborne sound insulation descriptors: A statistical approach based on in-situ measurements. Applied Acoustics, 116, 94-106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2016.09.017

A standard defining a common acoustic classification scheme for dwellings is under development by ISO TC42/SC2/WG29 based on the outcomes of European project COST Action TU0901. The proposal stands on the assumption that in the long term many countri...
