Prediction of Punching Shear Capacity of Biaxial Voided Slab
Abstract: Biaxial voided slab systems are advantageous due to their reduced self-weight, up to 50 % in comparison with the conventional reinforced concrete solid slab. The reduction in the concrete cross sectional area reduces the shear capacity up to about 40 %. The prediction of punching shear capacity in voided slab is not direct unlike in solid slab. This is because the presence of voids alters the critical failure section and …

Experimental Exploration of Crack and Damage Dynamics of Hybrid FRP Nano Composites
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become essential materials in modern engineering structures because of their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and adaptability in design. Among different fracture modes, Mode I interlaminar fracture where cracks propagate under tensile opening stresses is one of the most critical forms of damage in layered composites. Since delamination occurs within the matrix-rich regions between plies, improving the matrix properties plays a key role in enhancing …

A Pre-experimental Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Buerger Allen Exercises on Improving the Peripheral Blood Circulation among the Diabetic Patients Admitted at GGS Medical Hospital, Faridkot
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar because thepancreas does not produce enough insulin or cells do not respond to insulin. The high blood sugarproduces classical symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is non-insulin dependent in which there is an absolute insulin deficiency due to destruction of islets cell in thepancreas. Type 2 diabetes mellitus makes up …
