Fatigue Performance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Nanocomposites Modified Using Core-Shell Rubber Particles and Nanosilica
Abstract: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites modified with nanosilica, core-shell rubber particles, and a hybrid of both additives. Specifically, the composites were formulated with 10 wt% nanosilica, 10 wt% core-shell rubber particles, and a hybrid containing 10 wt% of each additive. The research aimed to assess how these modifications influence the mechanical performance and fatigue resistance of the composites under cyclic loading conditions. The addition …

Strengthening of Foundation for Pavement
Abstract: Abstract The bearing capacity of soil is a critical factor in construction engineering, particularly for designing and constructing pavement foundations. It directly depends on the load intensity the soil can support. For Class AA loading conditions, a minimum bearing capacity of 20 t/m² is required. However, the presence of frequent rain and flash floods often reduces the soil's effectiveness due to water saturation. Saturated soil experiences a 50% decrease in …

A Case study on percutaneous mitraclip implantation in severe rheumatic mitral regurgitation
Abstract: Background: Mitra Clip therapy is a minimally invasive, safe, and clinically validated treatment for patients with mitral valve issues. Traditionally, anatomical exclusion criteria for the MitraClip procedure have ruled out cases involving rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affecting the mitral valve, primarily due to its association with mitral stenosis (MS). Case Summary: We present a case involving a 42-year-old male with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis, who experienced recurrent heart failure due …

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of RCC Beams Undergoing Four-Point Bending Tests: A Parametric Study of Acoustic Emission (AE) Techniques
Abstract: Reinforced concrete is a composite material where tensile reinforcement is added to increase its tensilestrength since plain concrete is weak in tension. Reinforced concrete has far more complicated behaviorthan plain concrete. This is due to the microstructural changes in concrete as well as the interactionand link between concrete and steel. Micro-cracking of concrete and steel yielding are the two mostcommon failure mechanisms in reinforced concrete. Reinforced cement concrete is a …

Increase the Shear Strength of Soil Using Bitumen Emulsion to Strengthening of Sub-structure
Abstract: Soil is one in all the nature’s most abundant construction materials. The majority style of construction is built with or upon the soil. If the sub grade isn't enough sensible, the complete structure can face failure like cracks. So, the sub grade is often replaced with stronger material so as to improve the strength however this can be not economical. During this project the strength of soil is exaggerated by …
