Adapting piezoelectric ring actuator for early hydration monitoring in cementitious materials Open
There is a need for non‐destructive testing (NDT) methods to evaluate concrete properties in fresh and hardened states. The current study aims to utilize the piezoelectric ring actuator technique (P‐RAT), originally developed for soil appl…

Enhancing impact resistance in <span>E</span>‐glass fabric composites through shear thickening fluids and functionalized polyethylene glycol Open
In this study, we delved into innovative strategies to make neat E‐glass fabrics (NGFs) more impact‐ and tensile‐resistant by using shear‐thickening fluids (STFs). To achieve this goal, the polyethylene glycol (PEG) in STFs has been modifi…

Ground Glass Pozzolan in Conventional, High, and Ultra-High Performance Concrete Open
Ground-glass pozzolan (G) obtained by grinding the mixed-waste glass to same fineness of cement can act as a supplementary-cementitious material (SCM), given that it is an amorphous and a pozzolanic material. The G showed promising perform…
