The The present study experimentally and numerically investigates the flexural performance of reinforced concrete beams incorporating Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement, mechanical shear connectors, and web stiffeners.

Glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have emerged as an effective and lightweight technique for enhancing the shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, particularly in strengthening and rehabilitation applications.

Hybrid transparent electrodes that combine silver nanowire (AgNW) networks with conductive PEDOT:PSS overcoats are promising replacements for indium tin oxide in flexible solar cells, but their design requires balancing sheet resistance (Rs) against transmittance (T). Physics-based percolation simulations capture this trade-off but are too slow for large design searches.

The increasing emphasis on sustainable tourism has intensified the need to reduce plastic waste and promote environmentally responsible consumption practices across tourism and hospitality settings.

Chloride ions, dissolved oxygen, moisture and cyclic mechanical damage all infiltrate protective coatings and cause localized corrosion to occur in marine steel structures, resulting in continuous degradation.

Polymer-composite coatings provide a versatile route for combining corrosion protection, barrier reinforcement, and functional monitoring within a single material architecture.
