Journal Article
HERRERA GUTIERREZ-AVELLANOSA, D. and BENNADJI, A. 2015. Analysis of indoor climate and occupants' behaviour in traditional Scottish dwellings. Energy procedia [online], 78: Proceedings of the 6th international building physics conference (IBPC 2015), 14-17 June 2015, Torino, Italy, pages 639-644. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2015.11.046

Due to the relevance of the internal boundary conditions and the lack of specific data for the Scottish context, an exploration of the internal environment of traditional dwellings is needed. In this study the indoor climate of 24 properties with dif... Read More about Analysis of indoor climate and occupants' behaviour in traditional Scottish dwellings..

An analytical network process model for risks prioritisation in megaprojects. (2015)
Journal Article
BOATENG, P., CHEN, Z. and OGUNLANA, S.O. 2015. An analytical network process model for risks prioritisation in megaprojects. International journal of project management [online], 33(8), pages 1795-1811. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijproman.2015.08.007

Megaprojects are complex and expensive projects that often involve social, technical, economic, environmental and political (STEEP) challenges to project management. Despite these challenges, project owners and financiers continue to invest large sum... Read More about An analytical network process model for risks prioritisation in megaprojects..

The effect of shrinkage cracks on the load bearing capacity of steel-fibre-reinforced roller-compacted-concrete pavements. (2015)
Journal Article
JAFARIFAR, N., PILAKOUTAS, K. and BENNETT, T. 2015. The effect of shrinkage cracks on the load bearing capacity of steel-fibre-reinforced roller-compacted-concrete pavements. Materials and structues [online], 49(6), pages 2329-2347. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-015-0652-0

This paper demonstrates the effect of shrinkage cracks on the static load bearing capacity and on the fatigue performance of RCC pavements reinforced with steel fibres recycled from post-consumer tyres, with the aid of a case study. A numerical metho... Read More about The effect of shrinkage cracks on the load bearing capacity of steel-fibre-reinforced roller-compacted-concrete pavements..
