Effect of partial replacement of marble dust on concrete with addition of coconut coir: A review paper
Abstract: AbstractConcrete is the most important construction element and it is utilized in the construction because of its high compression power and its durability. Now a day’s different studies have been performed to compose concrete with waste substance with the aim of decreasing rate and unavailability of conventional materials. This study examined the strength properties of concrete samples produce using waste marble dust as substitution of aggregates by different researchers. Marble …

Progressive and Staged Analysis of RC Building Frame
Abstract: AbstractThe RC building frame is analyzed for gravity load as a complete space/plane frame using computer software. The Dead Load (DL) accumulates as construction work progresses. The analysis results obtained for partly built building frame differs from those obtained from complete frame analysis. The structural elements of partly built building frame may pass through critical stage when analyzed for DL and Construction Load (CL) acting on partly built building frame. …

Prediction of shear strength of reinforced concrete beams using Artificial Neural Network and evaluated by Finite Element Software
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn this paper, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Framework (ANFIS) are utilized to foresee the shear quality of Reinforced Concrete (RC) shafts, and the models are contrasted and American Concrete Institute (ACI) and Iranian Concrete Institute (ICI) observational codes. The ANN display, with Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), utilizing a Back-Propagation (BP) algorithm, is utilizedto foresee the shear quality of RC pillars. Six vital parameters are chosen …

Strength Evaluation and Reveal the Reserved Strength of Confined RC Circular Column under Static Load
Abstract: AbstractThe strength of RC circular column is evaluated as per IS 456:2000 guideline and design charts of SP16. The secondary steel in the form of lateral ties or helical reinforcement is provided to suit the requirements of IS 456:2000 and IS 13920:2016. The secondary steel provides the confinement to the concrete and imparts ductility to the column. The strength of confined concrete is found more than the strength of 150 …
