Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind Conditions
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …

REVIEW ON BEHAVIOUR OF R.C.C FRAMES
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) frames consist of horizontal elements and vertical elements connected by rigid joints.This review gives an idea about various parameters have been derived about RCC Frames from different researches. Based on previous studies and observations, a conclusion have been made that an In-filled wall in the multi story building can resist the lateral load and also helps in getting the good strength and stiffness.

DESIGN MANAGEMENT FOR EPC CONTRACT
Abstract: Design management can be defined as the effective management of design process, design planning, cost-effective design, allocation of design liability, and co-ordination of project participants during design process. The fundamental principle of design management is to provide a co-ordinated design on time by fulfilling client’s requirement. Co-ordination among designer, client and contractor is a widespread problem in the construction industry.Significant advances have made for EPC contract; but only a few …

Geotechnical Assessment and Stabilisation of Lateritic Soils in Tarkwa Using Rice Husk Ash for Road Construction Purpose
Abstract: The cost effectiveness of upgrading gravel roads to a sealed standard has challenged road authorities to make optimum use of naturally occurring materials such as laterites as sub-base and base materials. Untreated laterites have presented problems such as pavement swelling and depression in road construction. This research seeks to assess and stabilise the geotechnical properties of some lateritic soils in Tarkwa using Rice Husk Ash for road construction purposes. Lateritic …
