IRJET- Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beam with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyme...IRJET Journal
This document presents an experimental study on the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Four concrete beams were cast with M30 concrete - two with GFRP as the main reinforcement and steel bars as hangers, and two with GFRP as both the main and hanger reinforcement. Testing of the beams included calculating their flexural strength. The results showed that beams with GFRP reinforcement had higher ductility than comparable steel-reinforced beams. GFRP is a potential alternative to steel due to its corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and non-magnetic properties. The study provides data on the material properties and flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP

Experimental investigation on behavior of bamboo reinforced concrete membereSAT Journals
Abstract The use of bamboo which is fast growing and ecologically friendly material for structural applications is being considered as quite appropriate. The tensile strength of bamboo is quite high and can reach up to 125 MPa. This makes bamboo an pretty alternative to steel in tensile loading applications. The bamboo concrete composite elements can be used as alternate for concrete, steel and wood used in housing and other products required in the day to day applications. In this study it has been attempted to develop engineered bamboo structural elements for use in low cost housing. A bending test was performed on Plain, Steel & Bamboo reinforced members. For example, a total of 4beam (150x150x700mm) were casted using design mix (M25) as per IS code. These beam included 1 beam of steel reinforcement, 1beam of plain concrete, and 4beam of untreated bamboo reinforcement. The load-deformation curves displayed significant nonlinearity, representing that the bamboo has the capacity to absorb energy. Bamboo concrete composite structural members can provide tailored solutions to the eco-housing initiatives at cheaper costs. The results obtained accrue the advantage obtained by the composite members when compared to standard reinforced concrete and plain concrete.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
