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.
