International Journal of Structural Glass & Advanced Materials Research

SGMAR is a peer-reviewed, open access journal which covers all aspects of theoretical and practical research of materialsscience. The journal aims to promote international exchange of knowledge and broad discussion on advancements, outcomesand recent developments in materials research for civil engineering applications. In this regard, careful consideration is paidespecially for theoretical, experimental and numerical investigation on novel solutions, including structural glass as well as hybridsystems, fiber reinforced pultruded composites, laminates,polymers, shape memory alloys.Coverage also includes (but is not limited to):
