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.

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.

The influences of the number of concrete dowels to shear resistance based on push out tests
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2021 To reduce the depth of floor-beam structures and to save the cost of headed-shear studs, many types of shallow composite beam have been developed during the last few years.
