Polypropylene Fibres in Cementitious Composites: A Critical Review of Polymer Structure, Processing, Interfacial Behaviour and Performance
Abstract: Polypropylene (PP) fibres are widely used as secondary reinforcement in cementitious composites, yet their performance is governed as much by polymer structure and interfacial chemistry as by dosage. This review synthesises 50 primary sources (2003-2025, concentrated post-2015) to examine how PP molecular structure, fibre-manufacturing history, morphology, surface properties and environmental ageing govern fibre-matrix interaction and multiscale composite performance. Isotacticity, molecular weight, crystallinity and drawing ratio are shown to set the …

Ascendancy of connecting assymmetrical r.c. towers using sky bridges in improving the dynamic response
Abstract: Structures constructed to serve similar purposes adjacently, are often connected to each other. These connections may be sometimes in the form of sky-bridges. Connecting the structures with each other does not cause any modification in the behaviour of the structures in the static condition, but such modification may cause huge effects on the structural behaviour under dynamically activated condition. This article basically deals with study of connected structures, when connected …

Optimization of Type-4 Plastic Liner Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel Design
Abstract: Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) are prominently utilized for the storage of gases at high-pressure. Their widespread adoption is because they are significantly lighter weight compared to complete metal counterparts, but requires specialized design, and manufacturing process. This research employs finite element modelling to analyse the stress and failure assessments on a specific Type-IV COPV with plastic liner as core cylinder. This study aims to optimize COPV design by considering …
