Selection of Grade of Concrete & Grade of Steel
Abstract: Abstract In structural engineering, understanding the load distribution between steel and concrete is crucialfor ensuring the safety and stability of reinforced concrete structures. The load-bearing capacity ofboth materials, steel and concrete, is dependent on their respective characteristic strengths, whichinclude compressive, tensile, bending, and shear strengths. The behavior of a reinforced concretestructure under various loads is influenced by the interaction between these two materials, wheresteel typically handles tensile and bending stresses, …

Comprehensive Review of Membrane Fouling Control Mechanisms
Abstract: One of the biggest problems with membrane-based separation procedures is membrane fouling. As particles, organic matter, microbes, and other materials build up on the membrane’s surface or inside its pores, the effectiveness of membranes – such as those used in reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration – declines over time. The effectiveness and longevity of the membrane are eventually lowered because of this fouling, which causes a drop in flux and …

ANALYSIS OF MULTI-STOREY BUILDING WITH DIFFERENT OUTRIGGER SYSTEM AND LOCATIONS
Abstract: ABSTRACT- Designing and constructing high-rise buildings requires structural systems that can efficiently resist lateral forces caused by wind and seismic activity. Outrigger systems are commonly used in tall structures to increase lateral stiffness, minimize building drift, and better use structural materials. This research examines the performance of multi-storey buildings incorporating various outrigger configurations, including traditional outriggers, belt trusses, deep beams, and shear wall systems. A response spectrum analysis is carried …

Redundant Keypoint Elimination Using Redundancy Index on Basic SIFT Algorithm
Abstract: ABSTRACT Matching features across different images is a common problem in computer vision. For the images of different scales and rotations, there is the need of scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). SIFT identifies the distinctive keypoints that are invariant to location, scale, rotation, robust to affine transformations (changes in scale, rotation, shear, and position) and changes in illumination, which are usable for object recognition. SIFT algorithm includes two main stages: feature …

Design and Analysis of MacPherson Suspension System and Enhanced Suspension Systems
Abstract: Customers look for safety and comfort, thus they are crucial to the success of car marketing. The McPherson suspension system, one of the most popular shock absorbers, has a history of excellent performance. Its unexpected demise and sudden fracturing, however, made it clear that the system needs thoughtful adjustments. The most important components of the shock absorber system that require improvement are the strut mount and spring. Because of the …

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 …

Effect of Aggregate Shape and Binder on the Rutting Characteristics of Bituminous Mixes
Abstract: Rutting or permanent deformation is the depression in the wheel paths due to accumulation of small amounts of unrecoverable strains under the channelized repeated wheel loads. Shear deformation or lateral plastic flow of the bituminous mix from the wheel tracks also results in rutting. Performance of bituminous mixes is influenced by the constituents of the mix made of aggregates and binder. Among various parameters of these two ingredients, aggregate shape …

Advanced Magnesium-Based Metallic GlassComposites for Biomedical Implant Applications: AMachine-Learning-Informed Approach
Abstract: Magnesium-based bulk metallic glasses (Mg-BMGs) combine strength, low density, and tunable degradability. Their amorphous matrix has a small plastic process zone. This zone is only about 4 μm wide. A small process zone keeps most glasses brittle. Adding a second phase is the best fix. This chapter extends Mg-BMGs to true composites. We call these Mg-based bulk metallic glass composites, or Mg- BMGCs. The chapter covers matrix engineering and interfacial …
