Influence of geotextile encasement in triaxial tests on gravel (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Miranda, M., da Costa, A., Castro, J., Sagaseta, C., & Cañizal, J. (2019). Influence of geotextile encasement in triaxial tests on gravel. In Proceedings 19th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (2595-2598)

Stone columns installed in extremely soft soils may significantly reduce the effectiveness of this treatment due to the insufficient lateral confinement provided by the soft soil. The encasement of columns with geotextiles is commonly used in these s... Read More about Influence of geotextile encasement in triaxial tests on gravel.

Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Bernal-Sanchez, J., McDougall, J., Barreto Gonzalez, D., Miranda, M., & Marinelli, A. (2018). Dynamic behaviour of shredded rubber soil mixtures. In Proceedings of the 16th European Conference in Earthquake Engineering

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...

The Influence of train running direction and track supports position on the behaviour of transition zones. (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Sañudo Ortega, R., Miranda manzanares, M., Markine, V., & Dell'Olio, L. (2016). The Influence of train running direction and track supports position on the behaviour of transition zones. In Proceedings of XII CONGRESO DE INGENIERÍA DEL TRANSPORTE. https://doi.org/10.4995/cit2016.2016.4073

Different types of track infrastructure can be found along railway lines. Separation zones between these different types of structures are the source of a lot of problems. Transition zones on a railway line represent a gradual solution for the proble...

Foundations of embankments with encased Stone columns. (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Miranda Manzanares, M., Castro, J., Sagaseta, C., Cañizal, J., & Da Costa, A. (2013). Foundations of embankments with encased Stone columns. In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris 2013

Stone columns are a common improvement technique for foundations of embankments in soft soils. When the soft soil does not provide enough lateral support, the columns are encased with a geosynthetic. This paper presents a closed-form solution to st... Read More about Foundations of embankments with encased Stone columns..
