Finite Element Modeling of RC Beam Column Sub-assemblages Subjected to Column Loss Scenario
Abstract: Progressive collapse is a situation where a failure of whole or large part of a structure occurs that has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any primary structural element. When a vertical load carrying element, typically a column is lost, the loads that are supposed to pass through lost column need to be safely transferred to the adjacent elements to …

Self-healing Polymer Nanocomposites study using filler effect
Abstract: Polymers, while versatile, often lack the desired mechanical strength, thermal stability, or barrierproperties for high-performance applications. This limitation is elegantly addressed bycreating polymer nanocomposites. These materials are formed by incorporating small amounts(typically 1-5 wt%) of nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, metaloxide nanoparticles) into a polymer matrix. The magic of nanocomposites lies in the incrediblyhigh surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles and their unique interactions with thepolymer chains. …

A Study of Self-Healing Polymer Nanocomposites with Filler Effect
Abstract: Considering their versatility, polymers sometimes lack the barrier properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability required for high-performance applications. The creation of polymer nanocomposites is an advanced solution to this restriction. To make these materials, nanoscale fillers like carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, and metal oxide nanoparticles are added to a polymer matrix in small amounts (typically 1–5% weight percentage). The nanoparticles’ incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio, as well as their …

Analysis of Heat Mitigation Potential of Coir Mat and Perlite Layers vs Green Roof Systems
Abstract: This study explores the heat mitigation potential of coir mats and green facades applied to roofs. Being situated near the equator, buildings are subjected to intense solar radiation due to the sun’s proximity and minimal declination angle. Consequently, roofs transfer a substantial amount of heat into indoor spaces, making effective thermal regulation strategies essential. Roof insulation emerges as a key method for managing indoor temperatures, with sustainable, locally sourced, climate-friendly, …
