Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are thought to be ideal sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM). Amplitude based techniques such as matched filters and the edge-filtering have been proposed to fulfill the high sampling rates necessary for guided waves (GW) sensing. The current research for the first time shows the inherent robustness the matched filter technique provides to the sensing system. The matched system is realized...

The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly construction materials has prompted the exploration of natural fibers as reinforcement in cement composites. This study investigates the potential of goat hair as a natural fiber reinforcement in lightweight cement composites to enhance mechanical properties and sustainability. The research evaluates goat-hair-reinforced composites’ flexural and compressive strengths at 7 and...

The research necessity stems from the need to understand and evaluate the performance of Two- Stage Concrete (TSC) under triaxial compression conditions, as prior studies have predominantly focused on uniaxial and biaxial testing of conventional concrete (CC). This study represents the first comprehensive investigation into the triaxial compressive strength and related mechanical properties of TSC, addressing a critical gap in...

Purpose – The research investigates the impact of concrete design methods on performance, emphasizing environmental sustainability. The study compares the modified Bolomey method and Abrams’ law in designing concretes. Significant differences in cement consumption and subsequent CO2 emissions are revealed. The research advocates for a comprehensive life cycle assessment, considering factors like compressive strength, carbonation...
