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.

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.

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.

A novel efficient mixed formulation for strain-gradient models. (2018)
Journal Article
Papanicolopulos, S., Gulib, F., & Marinelli, A. (2019). A novel efficient mixed formulation for strain-gradient models. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 117(8), 926-937. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.5985

Various finite elements based on mixed formulations have been proposed for the solution of boundary value problems involving strain-gradient models. The relevant literature, however, does not provide details on some important theoretical aspects of t... Read More about A novel efficient mixed formulation for strain-gradient models..

The Pull-Out Problem in Restoring Marble Fragments: A Design Criterion Based on Experimental Results (2009)
Journal Article
Marinelli, A., Papanicolopulos, S., Kourkoulis, S., & Vayas, I. (2009). The Pull-Out Problem in Restoring Marble Fragments: A Design Criterion Based on Experimental Results. Strain, 45(5), 433-444. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-1305.2008.00519.x

For the development of innovative connections for the restoration of the integrity of structural elements of ancient stone temples, it is imperative, among others, to understand the reasons of the ‘pull-out’ phenomenon. Pull-out can be defined as the... Read More about The Pull-Out Problem in Restoring Marble Fragments: A Design Criterion Based on Experimental Results.

Restaurierung antiker Tempel: Experimentelle Untersuchungen zum Ausziehverhalten von Verankerungen im Marmor (2008)
Journal Article
Kourkoulis, S., Papanicolopulos, S., Marinelli, A., & Vayas, I. (2008). Restaurierung antiker Tempel: Experimentelle Untersuchungen zum Ausziehverhalten von Verankerungen im Marmor. Bautechnik / Structural Engineering, 85(2), 109-119. https://doi.org/10.1

In restoration works of antique Greek temples individual marble blocks are connected together to form a single element, e.g. an architrave. Due to the demand of reversibility of the intervention, this is done in the Acropolis of Athens by means of ti...
