Performance of Polymer Modified Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: AbstractThe fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) is a composite material essentially consisting of conventional concrete reinforced by random dispersal of short, discontinuous and discrete fibers of specific geometry. The conventional plain concrete possesses high compressive strength, low tensile strength, poor impact strength, ductility, and little resistance to cracking and poor resistance to chemical attack. The presences of micro-cracks at the mortar aggregate interface are responsible for the inherent weakness of plain …

Design and Performance Considerations for Buildings in Coastal and Offshore Environments
Abstract: Buildings near coastal and offshore regions are exposed to extreme wind and seismic forces that govern structural design. In this study, a simplified assessment of wind and earthquake loads acting on a multistorey coastal building is presented. A wind velocity of 400 km/hr. is considered to represent severe cyclonic conditions. Using a unit weight of air of 12 N/m³, the cumulative wind thrust acting over a building height of 40 …

Effect of Blunt Truncation in an Aerospike Nozzle
Abstract: Aerospike nozzles are gaining attention as a more advanced alternative to conventional bell nozzles, mainly because they can perform efficiently across a wide range of altitude conditions. Unlike traditional converging–diverging nozzles, aerospike designs naturally adjust to changes in ambient pressure, allowing the exhaust flow to expand more effectively. This results in better thrust performance under varying operating conditions, making them a strong candidate for future aerospace propulsion systems. In this …
