Thesis
Asif, M. Life cycle assessment of aluminium-clad timber windows. (Thesis). Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/2505

Over the last century a temperature rise of 0.6 C m global climate and the affiliated greenhouse effects have inflicted enormous impacts in the form of natural catastrophes, economical losses, health problems and seasonal disorder. If human activitie... Read More about Life cycle assessment of aluminium-clad timber windows..

Acquisition, efficiency and scale economies: An analysis of the British bus industry (2002)

The British Bus industry has undergone considerable transformation since privatization. Five major operators have emerged to dominate the market, a position almost exclusively attained through acquisition. This paper reviews the economies of scale ar...

Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay. (2002)
Journal Article
Curling, S., Clausen, C. A., & Winandy, J. E. (2002). Relationships between mechanical properties, weight loss and chemical composition of wood during incipient brown rot decay. Forest Products Journal, 52, 34-39

Incipient decay of wood by brown-rot fungi causes measurable strength losses in wood before measurable weight loss occurs. Previous studies have shown that the high levels of strength loss that occur during incipient brown-rot decay may be related to...

Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C. (2002)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., & Bicanic, N. (2002). Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C. Materials Journal, 99, 217-226

Fracture toughness represents the resistance of concrete to cracking and fracture, and is significantly influenced by heating scenarios such as heating temperature and exposure time. In this paper, two parameters—the classic fracture toughness and th... Read More about Residual fracture toughness of normal- and high-strength gravel concrete after heating to 600°C..

Relationship between brittleness and moisture loss of concrete exposed to high temperatures. (2002)
