"Engineering Your English" is a comprehensive book crafted with the unique needs of engineers in mind. Recognizing the essential skills engineers must acquire for effective communication, the book covers a spectrum of linguistic elements including vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Developed in response to a request from Gaushala Engineering Campus, this book has been embraced as the primary textbook at the institution. It serves as a valuable resource, tailored to equip engineering students with the linguistic proficiency required for success in their academic and professional endeavors
This systematic review evaluates the impact of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete, synthesizing findings from recent studies to address current research gaps and challenges. As concrete remains a dominant construction material, its limitations in strength, crack resistance, and environmental durability have driven interest in advanced nanomaterials like CNTs. CNTs, with their exceptional mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and high thermal stability, demonstrate significant potential to enhance concrete’s compressive strength (up to 42% improvement), flexural strength, and fracture toughness at optimal dosages (0.015–0.1% by weight of cement). Despite these advancements, challenges persist in achieving cost-effective production, scalable dispersion methods, and long-term durability validation under real-world conditions. By addressing these gaps, CNT-enhanced concrete could revolutionize sustainable construction practices, balancing performance, affordability, and environmental stewardship.
