Abstract of: Experimental Investigation of Mortar Mechanical Properties for Glass Brick Masonry

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
The main advantage of solid bricks over hollow blocks is substantially higher compressive strength. On the other hand, solid bricks have much higher thermal conductivity, which would lead to major heat loss when used for exterior walls.

New Insights Into Early Islamic Hydro‐Agricultural Strategies in Northwest Arabia: A Geoarchaeological Study of al‐Bint Dam (Sadd al‐Bint)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The Sadd al‐Bint is one of the largest known ancient dams in Saudi Arabia, and yet, its construction date, function and collapse remained uncertain. This study presents the first numerical chronology for the dam, integrating radiocarbon dating, Bayesian modelling, geomorphological analysis and hydrological modelling to reconstruct its history.

Maya Sequential Burials and Subsistence Change at the Prehispanic Site of Caledonia, Cayo District, Belize: The Radiocarbon Evidence

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 351-364, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT From the Late Preclassic to Terminal Classic periods (300 bce–900 ce), the Maya people at the site of Caledonia, Cayo District, Belize, interred their dead within site architecture. Four burials containing the remains of at least 21 individuals were uncovered during excavations and were relatively dated using typologies developed from the ...

Did They Feel It? Legacy Macroseismic Data Illuminates an Engimatic 20th Century Earthquake

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The challenges and the importance of preserving legacy instrumental records of earthquakes are now well‐recognized (e.g., Richards & Hellweg, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1785/0220200053). Seismologists may not be aware of parallel challenges and opportunities with legacy macroseismic data for earthquakes in the United States. For much of the 20th
