Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind Conditions
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …

pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …
