Possibilities and scope of environmental protection through criminal law: The new environmental crime directive by Stojanović Zoran, Bodrožić Ivana

“…In a wider context of achieving European Green Deal objectives, seen through the prism of a new Environmental Crime Directive at the European Union level, the main purpose of this article is to examine, underline and prepare future changes within the national criminal law framework in terms of criminal law protection of the environment, so that it should be as efficient as possible, but at the same time constitute a rational system of criminal law provisions. The paper is divided in two main chapters. The first chapter deals with issues of criminal law protection of the environment in general, the legitimacy of the environment as a separate protected value, the level of its social harmfulness and some legislative characteristics of the relevant elements of the offences which need to fulfil common standards of their normative shaping. …”

Generalised fracture mechanics approach to the interfacial failure analysis of a bonded steel-concrete joint by Wouter De Corte, Peter Helincks, Veerle Boel, Jan Klusak, Stanislav Seitl, Geert De Schutter

“…However, this connection reduces the fatigue strength, especially in situations where locally concentrated loads occur with a large number of load cycles e.g. in bridge decks. In this paper the shear bond strength between steel and ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) without welded mechanical shear connectors is evaluated through push-out tests and a generalized fracture mechanics approach based on analytical and finite element analyses. …”
