Enhancing Mechanical and Thermal Performance of M30 Concrete with Carbon Fibre Reinforcement
Abstract: This study examines the influence of carbon fibre incorporation on the mechanical properties of M30-grade concrete. A series of experimental investigations were conducted to assess the effects of varying carbon fibre content on compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. The results indicate a significant enhancement in mechanical performance with the inclusion of carbon fibres, with the optimum fibre dosage identified as 0.75%. At this content, the concrete achieved a peak …

Protective Coatings for High-Temperature Applications: Challenges and Innovations
Abstract: High-temperature environments impose significant challenges on materials used in a variety of industrial applications, where components are exposed to extreme heat. These environments can cause a range of issues, including material degradation through processes like corrosion, oxidation, and thermal cycling, which can severely limit the performance, durability, and overall lifespan of components. Over time, these issues may lead to component failure, increased maintenance costs, and even unplanned shutdowns in industrial …
