Power factor correction (PFC) is crucial in improving the efficiency and stability of electrical power systems by reducing reactive power. This manuscript presents a microcontroller-based automatic power factor correction system that dynamically monitors and corrects the…

Harmonics in power distribution systems have become a critical concern due to the increasing use of nonlinear loads, such as power electronics and variable speed drives. These harmonics cause distortion in voltage and current waveforms, leading…

Flat slab systems are widely used in modern construction due to their architectural flexibility and ease of formwork. Proper understanding of load distribution is crucial for ensuring structural safety and serviceability. This study investigates the load…

Retaining walls are critical structures designed to hold back soil and prevent landslides or erosion, especially in seismic-prone regions. Earthquake-resistant retaining walls must accommodate dynamic loads induced by ground shaking while maintaining structural stability and safety.…

Corrosion of steel reinforcement bars is a critical factor affecting the durability and safety of reinforced concrete structures. Thermo-Mechanically Treated (TMT) bars, known for their superior strength and ductility, are widely used in construction. This study…

Heritage buildings are invaluable assets that represent cultural identity and architectural history. However, aging materials, environmental factors, and seismic vulnerabilities threaten their structural integrity. This manuscript presents a comprehensive study on structural retrofitting techniques applied to…
