A comparative study of high-rise building having transfer floors with and without spandrel beams
Abstract: High rise buildings recently has become the necessity in densely populated cities or urban areas. Along with advance building material and construction methods, construction of high rise building has increased significantly. This paper proposes a comparative study of high rise building with transfer floor with and without spandrel beams subjected to earthquake load. A 30 storey building with transfer floor at 5th floor is considered for the study. The building …

Economic Sustainability of Transportation Infrastructure Procurement: The Differing Site Condition Clause Debate as an Underlying Environmental Trigger to Cost Overruns
Abstract: Case law is rife with contractual disputes arising due to lack of adequate geotechnical risk containment during procurement. The use of a ‘Differing Site Conditions (DSC) clause’, implies that, in the event of encountering a subsurface/geo-environmental condition different from that which was indicated in the contract, the owner bears the additional cost for executing the work under such conditions. However, the literature indicates a divergence in industry practise, with some …

Application of flux cored arc welding (fcaw) without pre-heating for heavy structures in ship building fabrication & construction of heavy offshore structural steels
Abstract: In fusion welding processes, the reason often given to explain the need for preheating, controlling the inter pass temperature (in multi-pass welds), and post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is to reduce the risk of residual stresses and it can be removed by heating weldment in the heat affected zone (HAZ). Cold cracking is a hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon, often referred to as hydrogen induced cracking or HAZ cracking. During the construction and …

Performance based seismic design of reinforced concrete asymmetrical building
Abstract: The nonlinear static analysis of asymmetrical G+20 reinforced concrete building is carried out using design tool. Nowadays, in most of the RCC framed buildings irregularities are commonly observed. Buildings needing simple regular geometry suffer much less damage than buildings with irregular configuration. The poor performance and structural damages in an irregular building type of structures during the frequent earthquakes increased the need to determine and evaluate the damages in the …

Study of Nano Additives in Concrete mix Proportioning Using Nano Particle
Abstract: This research literature reviews on nanomaterials in concrete. Now, the conventional concrete Properties of nanomaterial utilization have been introduced to various attentions to increase. Ultimately, as an introduction, the nanomaterial is increasing the strength and durability of the Concrete. The nanomaterial is described as the material that includes the particle size Less than 200 nm. While the investigation of Concrete in the importance of nanomaterials, the demand is at least …
