    encourage the development and integrating of carbon fiber into common civil engineering practices. Gomez et al examines the practice of wrapping sheets of carbon fiber around existing structural support beams in the hope of increasing flexural capacity and overall tensile strength. The implementation of carbon fiber into reinforced concrete due to steel’s corrosive properties is discussed. May et al’s study on patching structural fractures with carbon fiber materials rather than steel shows positive test

    advancements in mechanics and engineering of the aircrafts over the years, and many people consider them to be a reliable mode of transportation they still all have the capacity for mechanical or structural failures. In this paper we will begin to explore some of the main causes of these failures as well as the mechanical and structural factors behind them. An aircraft will typically fail because of an excess of stress applied to one or multiple mechanical or structural components. A more exact definition

    Introduction Blast protection, until recently, has only needed to be considered when constructing underground shelters and military bunkers. Currently, however, there is a need for urban buildings and similar structures used consistently by the general public to withstand forces from nearby explosions. This need is due to the recent climb in terrorist attacks in urban or crowded environments. These attacks have used the lack of blast resistance in these buildings as a means for creating widespread
