The Biomechanical Impact of Slipper Sole Compliance on Lumbar Spine Load: A Quantitative Analysis of Indoor Footwear Ergonomics
Abstract: Abstract The global shift toward remote work has significantly increased the duration of indoor footwear usage, yet the ergonomic standards for slippers remain critically under-researched compared to athletic or industrial footwear. While "high-compliance" or soft slippers are traditionally marketed for immediate comfort, excessive mechanical softness may lead to foot instability, altered gait kinetics, and subsequent compensatory stress on the lumbar spine. This study aims to quantify the correlation between varying …

A Review: Performance analysis of overlapping shear keys in box girder bridges using finite element based software
Abstract: Abstract - Box girder bridges are widely used for long-span constructions due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and structural efficiency. A fundamental component in these bridges is the shear key which allows for effective transfer of loads between bridge segments and upholds the overall structural performance through the different load cases. Overlapping shear keys are becoming increasingly popular because they greatly enhance inter-segment connections, which decrease relative displacements. This paper …

A Comparative Evaluation of Geopolymer, Conventional and GFRP Retrofitting Techniques in Augmenting Seismic Robustness of RC Structures
Abstract: Abstract The requirement of retrofitting an old existing structure, rendered structurally unsafe (based on its structural health assessment) is observed to be a major challenge faced by engineers as it necessitates comprehensive and complicated repair procedures. It was further seen that during earthquake, the main reason for failure of any structure was the failure of its beam column joints, thereby making it essential to strengthen them specifically. Until recently, the …
