In-situ monitoring of thermal refurbishment on pre-1919 properties in Scotland (2014)
Journal Article
Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., Garnier, C., & Currie, J. (2014). In-situ monitoring of thermal refurbishment on pre-1919 properties in Scotland. International Journal of Sustainable Construction, 2(1), 77-84. https://doi.org/10.14575/gl/ijsc/02-01/003

This work analyses the use of in-situ monitoring techniques to establish the building performance of pre-1919
traditionally constructed buildings and evaluate different thermal refurbishment strategies using component U-values as
a recognised indic... Read More about In-situ monitoring of thermal refurbishment on pre-1919 properties in Scotland.

Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements (2014)
Journal Article
Machimbarrena, M., Monteiro, C. R. A., Pedersoli, S., Johansson, R., & Smith, S. (2015). Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements. Applied Acoustics, 89, 199-210. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apacoust.2014.09.018

In building acoustics the measurement uncertainty of sound insulation measurements is traditionally either not reported or reported as stated in the corresponding standard ISO 12999–1:2014. Determination and application of measurement uncertainties i... Read More about Uncertainty determination of in situ airborne sound insulation measurements.

Form finding and structural analysis of actively bent timber grid shells (2014)
Journal Article
D’Amico, B., Kermani, A., & Zhang, H. (2014). Form finding and structural analysis of actively bent timber grid shells. Engineering Structures, 81, 195-207. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engstruct.2014.09.043

Grid shells are efficient structural systems covering large open spaces with relatively small amount of materials. Also, post forming techniques allow realization of geometrically complex (free-form) shapes by means of standard connection systems. Ho...
