Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry (2001)
Journal Article
Tait, C. J., Khalaf, F. M., & Kermani, A. (2001). Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 13(5), 332-339. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%290899-1561%282001%2913%3A5%28332%29

Studies have found that over 80% of total water ingress occurs at the brick/mortar interface and not through the brick unit or the mortar. The interface between the brick and mortar is influenced by the tensile bond strength between the two, which is... Read More about Review of Water Ingress Characteristic of Stressed Masonry.

News cultures and new social movements: radical journalism and the mainstream media. (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Atton, C. (2001, October). News cultures and new social movements: radical journalism and the mainstream media. Paper presented at Scottish Media and Communication Association Annual Conference

Radical media can be viewed as an extremely democratic form of communication, where people normally denied access to the mainstream media are able to speak on issues that concern them. Radical media are especially important for new social movements,... Read More about News cultures and new social movements: radical journalism and the mainstream media..
