Building structural works require regular inspections and monitoring of damage progression to ensure compliance with relevant standards and jurisdictional requirements. Conventional …
Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars have been increasingly used in structures due to their advantages However, the effect of temperature variation is likely to degrade their …
Silicone rubber (SR) and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) are widely-used polymers as housing for high voltage insulators. In this work, SR/EPDM/clay nanocomposites …
The world population is escalating at a tremendous scale, and hence the global energy demands. The utilization of fossil fuels on a massive scale is not environmentally friendly and …
The applications of glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRPs) in reinforced concrete frames made up of precast elements have remained limited because of a limited understanding of …
Owing to its good mechanical properties, enhanced wear resistance, good biological properties, biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and great corrosion behavior, Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr (TZNT) alloy…
Anchor heads could efficiently address the bond weakness between Fibre-Reinforced Polymer bars and concrete. This experimental study enhanced the bond behaviour between …
Blends of silicone rubber (SR) and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) are immiscible due to different polarity and poor interfacial surface tension between their rubber chains. …
This study examines the performance of precast reinforced concrete (RC) column assemblies reinforced with glass fibre-reinforced polymers (GFRP). Four precast specimens, …
Waste classification in material recovery facilities is difficult to scale due to limited labelled data and the high variability in waste appearance. Vision-language models address these …
