In-plane curved steel beams with circular hollow sections (CHSs) are widely gaining appeal in bridges. Strengthening such elements for increased demand or decreased strength due to environmental effects or fatigue, without affecting the usage of structure, is a timely need. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials have been a promising solution...Read More

Reinforced concrete structures in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) operate under uniquely aggressive conditions, including biogenic sulphuric acid attack, sustained moisture, elevated temperatures, and partial submergence. Although Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthening is well established for bridges and other concrete infrastructure, its application within WWTPs raises concerns regarding bond durability and...Read More

Keywords: Climate Change Impact, Coastal Inundation, IPCC RCP / SSP Scenarios, Coastal Resilience, Numerical Modelling, Perth, Sea Level Rise In view of the ongoing global climate changes, low-lying coastal cities of the world, including Perth in Western Australia, are encountering escalating threats from extreme wave events along with sea level...Read More

Despite recent advances in artificial intelligence for agriculture, reliable crop recommendation remains constrained by limited access to soil diagnostics, insufficient integration of environmental context, and the absence of transparent, quantitative evaluation frameworks. This study addresses the research question: How can we integrate multiple indicators to generate accurate, explainable, and context-sensitive...Read More

Durability assessment and reliability modelling of CFRP composites under simulated long-term exposure to acidic, alkaline, and aqueous environments A detailed experimental programme was conducted to investigate the durability of unidirectional Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets exposed to water, acidic (pH = 1), and alkaline (pH = 12.6) environments under...Read More
