Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSmall-Scale Test of Transparent Adhesives in Glass Structures under Shear Stress and Their Ageing ResistanceMarkéta Zikmundová, Martina EliášováGlass load-bearing structures, which have been popular in recent years, require careful attention to detail, because with improper design there is a concentration of stress leading to failure and subsequent collapse of the structure. Mechanical connections are mainly used but there are disadvantages such as stress peaks, weakening of the cross-section, or aesthetic reasons. Adhesive connections eliminate these disadvantages. The … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2022 · 6,561 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Water on The Strength of Building StonesBellopede Rossana, Marini PaolaProblem statement: Water is one of the main causes of stone decay and the presence of water alone inside a stone could cause a decrease in its mechanical strength. In order to study the effect of water on the mechanical strength of stones, three Italian stones, which have historically been used for balconies, have been studied: Pietra di Luserna, Pietra … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 17 Mar 2012 · 7,032 accessesView PDF Cite
