Practicability and environmental impact assessment of synthetic fibre reinforced polymer (SFRP) stirrups in reinforced concrete beams.

In this study, the objective is to explore the practicability of incorporating synthetic fibre reinforced polymer (SFRP) stirrups into reinforced concrete beams. This investigation revolves around evaluating their effectiveness from two key perspectives: their structural performance and environmental impact. To accomplish this, four set of specimens were prepared, each integrating SFRP stirrups, and testing them under a rigorous three-point bending load test.

Residual Properties of Geopolymer Concrete for Post-Fire Evaluation of Structures.

The research focuses on effectively utilizing industrial by-products, namely fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), to develop sustainable construction materials that can help reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry. Geopolymer mix design using these by-products is identified as a potential solution. The study investigates the impact of different water to binder ratios (W/B) ranging from 0.

A state-of-art review on antenna designs for ingestible application.

Research interest in ingestible Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) studies in humans showed better results than conventional invasive probe endoscopy methods. Because of the structure and the position of the small intestine, proper scanning cannot be done in the area using traditional endoscopic methods. For patient comfort, continuous developments have been suggested in capsule endoscopy designs in terms of the quality of images transmitted, capsule orientation, positioning of the capsule from outside the body, link budget analysis, impedance matching and capsule miniaturization.
