A Review on Advancement in Sensor Technology in Structural Health Monitoring System
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been in existence for a century but gained attention in near past for the diagnostics and safe use of the structures. Different types of civil structures we use every day like bridges tunnels pipelines and proper monitoring is required for these structures for the long life of them. Lessons learns from the past failure of structures invented the need of structural health monitoring in the …

Analysis and Design of Pre-Engineered Building and Conventional Building: A Comparative Study
Abstract: Pre-engineered steel buildings are fully fabricated in the factory as per design. Once fabricated, they are shipped to the site in ready-to assemble condition. These components are erected using nut and bolts. This will reduce the constructiontime. The fabrication of the members is carried out in a controlled environment. The present work gives analysis and design of Pre-Engineered Building and its comparison with Conventional building. The design of the structure …

The Study of Structural Behavior of Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beam
Abstract: The steel fibers are most widely used fibers in the present state of development of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). This is due to the advantage that the addition of fibers to concrete converts the brittle characteristics of concrete to a ductile one, such as slabs and thin webs, where the use of shear reinforcement is not possible, the steel fibers gives them the strength to resist shear. The present study …

Application of TOPSIS Method for Selection of Best Natural Fiber for Retrofitting of Structure
Abstract: Selection of best natural fiber is multi-criteria decision problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Decision-making problem is the process of finding the best option from all of the feasible alternatives. In this paper, from among multi-criteria models in making complex decision and multiple attribute models for the most preferable choice, technique for order preferences by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach has been dealt with. Technique for TOPSIS is …

Effect of Variation of Curing Temperature on Self-compacting Concrete
Abstract: The objective of this study is to determine the effect of variation of curing temperature on mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). This study is carried forward keeping in mind the climatic conditions throughout the year in the various regions of India. SCC preparations were conducted for different mix-designs. These concrete samples were cured at their casting temperature. Compressive strength was determined at 7 and 28 days age. Relationship between …

GENETIC ALGORITHM BASED DESIGN OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM
Abstract: This paper demonstrates an application of the genetic algorithms to the design of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam. Cost optimisation of reinforced concrete beam is carried out to get the most economical concrete section and the reinforcements at user specified intervals. Genetic algorithm is used to find out the depth, the number and diameter of bars and the diameter and spacing of stirrups. A program is created based on …

An Attempt to Test Suitability of Bamboo Strips as a Structural Material
Abstract: Abstract Many researchers have tried different materials with concrete as a reinforcing material in concrete structural members. In this paper attempt have been made to test bamboo strip in its mechanical properties and find suitability to use bamboo strip as a reinforcing material in concrete structural members. After conducting test on bamboo strips in laboratory very good results obtained. Bamboo strip after getting results in lab seems to have good …

Response Spectrum Analysis of RC Buildings Constructed on Plain and Sloping Ground with Different Configuration of Shear Walls
Abstract: Abstract Buildings constructed on slopes are different from those in plains. They may be irregular and unsymmetrical in horizontal and vertical planes, and torsionally coupled. Hence, they are susceptible to severe damage when affected by earthquake ground motion. We can’t avoid the future earthquakes but the preparedness and safe building construction practices for earthquakes can certainly reduces the extent of damage and loss of both property and life. Shear wall …

A Review on Mining Induced Earthquake
Abstract: Seismicity in mines, in general, depends on depth, production rate, mining geometry and geological discontinuities such as dykes, faults etc. Induced earthquakes differ from normal earthquakes in that they have occurred prematurely due to an external trigger. Except for much of the micro seismicity, the virgin state of stress in the Earth’s crust depends on, among other factors, gravity and tectonics. In, or near, a mine the stress state is …
