1. Thermal stresses in load-bearing glass-timber components
Abstract : Thermal stresses can arise in glass used in architectonic realisations in buildings as a result of solar irradiation: that is, sunlight. The magnitude of these thermal stresses depends on the temperature conditions in the glass in terms of the temperature differences between warm and cold areas. READ MORE

2. Compressive Failure of NCF Composites
Abstract : The necessity to reduce environmental impact promotes transportation industry to reduce energy consumption of vehicles. One possible way to improve vehicles' structural efficiency is to utilize modern composite materials that offer excellent mechanical performance-to-weight ratio. READ MORE

4. Soil-Steel Composite Bridges : Research advances and application
Abstract : Soil-steel composite bridges are considered competitive structures being an economical alternative to similar span concrete bridges. This frequently stimulates practitioners to push their design limits and expand the different areas of application including their performance in sloping terrain. READ MORE

5. Toward Realistic Failure Evaluations for Concrete Buttress Dams
Abstract : Concrete dams, complex structures supporting massive loads, have traditionally been assessed using simplified 2D analytical stability analyses based on the rigid body assumption. Previous studies have shown that 3D behavior, such as the interaction between the monoliths and the valley's geology, can greatly impact the load-bearing capacity of gravity dams but remains largely unexplored in buttress dams.
