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.

In-situ density estimation by four nondestructive techniques on Norway spruce from built-in wood structures [PDF]
, 2018 Needle penetration resistance (NPR), screw withdrawal resistance (SWR), core drilling (CD) and drilling chips extraction (DCE) are nondestructive and semi-destructive techniques used to estimate density in timber structures.

Cross-Laminated Timber: A Survey on Design Methods and Concepts in Practice
CivilEng, 2022 Cross laminated timber (CLT) is becoming increasingly popular in timber construction due to its versatility. However, its structural anistropy requires the application of particular concepts and design methods. The article on hand presents the results of

Mechanical behaviour of timber‐to‐concrete connections with inclined screws
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2007 The purpose of this paper is to adopt the Johansen's yielding theory as a possibility to predict the ultimate load for timber‐to‐concrete joints using self‐tapping threaded connectors screwed at an angle into the wood.

Implementation of longitudinal welding stresses into structural calculation of steel structures
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2015 During welding of typical steel cross sections, like T or I- Profiles e.g., residual stress occurs and need to be considered during the design process.

Comparison of behaviour of laterally loaded round and squared timber bolted joints [PDF]
, 2016 In the current European standards for design of timber structures, the issue of timber-to-timber joint type is addressed only to squared timber, which makes the pinpointing of the round timber bolted joints load carrying capacity near-unfeasible due to ...
