Buildings constantly consume energy to maintain internal temperature, and the thermal difference between interior exterior of a wall panel provides an opportunity for generation through Seebeck effect. Due their strength durability, cement-based thermoelectric materials are gaining interest among scientists potential applications in harvesting buildings. Though cementitious have been developed, there has little research into mechanical properties these with addition conductive fillers. This...
Cement-based thermoelectric materials are gaining popularity among scientists due to their robust mechanical characteristics and suitability for thermal energy harvesting in building applications. However, despite advancements the development of these materials, a significant knowledge gap persists regarding characterisation. This research aimed enhance performance cement composites through incorporation graphene oxide (GO) manganese dioxide (MnO2), while ensuring adequate compressive...
In this paper, a new design approach based on the principles of energy and momentum conservation is proposed for free-standing rigid barriers subject to point impact. The novelty lies in fact that mass inertia effect coefficient restitution impact are considered. With approach, it shown same scenario, taller barrier actually has higher factor safety due increased inertia—a result could not have been obtained force-based calculation. verified by results from systematic physical simulated...
Rigid barriers are commonly used as defense measures in hilly areas to contain falling boulders and landslide debris, the sliding displacement of these is a key design consideration when space limited. A new displacement-based model form closed-form solution introduced this paper estimate amount that barrier undergoes following boulder impact. The was derived based on principles energy momentum conservation, derivations were presented. Laboratory tests conducted validate analytical model,...
In recent years, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have emerged as a highly effective solution for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, accurately assessing the fire resistance of FRP-strengthened members remains significant challenge due to limited guidance available in current building codes, often leading conservative and cost-intensive evaluations. Experimental testing numerical analysis required such assessments are resource-demanding, highlighting need more...
This article is concerned with the design of steel baffles embedded in soil to contain fallen boulders rolling down a hill slope, buried segment cast into concrete. Analytical solutions presented form closed-form expressions based on standardized static model enable optimized be found readily. Dynamic testing has been undertaken verify accuracy proposed analytical model. Numerical simulations employing program LS-DYNA have also extend database test results track trends and provide further...
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials are increasingly utilized over conventional repair techniques for reinforced concrete due to their advantageous properties, including lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. However, these susceptible degradation under fire conditions, which can weaken the polymer resin, reduce material strength stiffness, ultimately compromise structural integrity. Given necessity of assessing resistance FRP-strengthened beams, traditional evaluation...
A form of steel baffles, which is made poles encased in concrete and embedded into the ground, are introduced this article. This type protective installation to be located on previously identified/designed catchment at multiple levels up hillslope fence off large fallen boulders during landslides or rockfalls. These baffles intended serve as added-on protection filter barriers (array baffles) that have recently gained popularity a means filtering out coarse debris. The aforementioned devices...
