Hensel Geosciences has produced hundreds of reports, papers and articles on geological, geotechnical and scientific issues. Many of the articles are based on an in-depth knowledge of natural material by way of petrographic analysis, technical analysis and experience but others have required sophisticated high-level research. Investigations into construction failures or the performance of certain natural and man-made materials have often called on collective knowledge gained only through lengthy experience.
References to some of the more noteable article related to building stone or construction are listed below. In addition, a sample skeleton outline of one articles is provided. Full articles may be obtained upon request (charges may apply).
