Analysis of Partially Infilled Frames
Abstract: The design of building structures is usually carried out without considering the effect of masonry infill. Currently, seismic design codes (Eurocode 8-Part 1, ASCE 41-06) contain provisions for the calculation of stiffness of fully infilled frames mainly by modelling infill as a diagonal strut. However, such provisions are not provided for infilled frames with openings. The main objective of the study was to validate the equations relating the lateral stiffness …

Analysis of RC Frames Using Different Bracing Systems in Different Positions and Zones
Abstract: Structures are mainly built to enhance the performance of several activities like recreation, transportation, power generation, etc. They are built to sustain the loads coming on them during their service life by carrying adequate strength and also limit the deformation by possessing enough stiffness. Strength of a structure depends mainly upon the characteristics of material with which it is constructed. Stiffness is dependent upon the cross-sectional and geometrical properties of …

Comparative Study of Corrosion Resisting Behavior of Steel Reinforcement
Abstract: The corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete had received increasing attention in recent years because of the severe damage to concrete structures. It is so severe that we need a high cost dramatic repair of the structure. The corrosion of reinforcing steel results mainly from the destruction of the protective oxide film by chloride attack or/and carbonation of the concrete. Extensive research into factors contributing to corrosion of reinforcing steel …

Steel Ductile Detailing of Moment Resisting Frames for Pre-engineered Buildings
Abstract: Long span structures with no interrupting column are necessary in any type of industrial structures and pre-engineered buildings (PEB) satisfies this need along with less time and cost as compared to conventional structures. This methodology is adaptable not only due to its quality pre-designing and prefabrication, but also due to its light weight and economical construction. The concept includes the technique of providing the best possible section according to the …

Structural Modeling for Fatigue Analysis Using PZT Patches
Abstract: This research was focused on finding the fatigue life of the structure by finding the current stiffness of the structures. Several experiments were conducted on different types of structure by bonding the PZT sensor at different locations in the structure using EMI technique and a relation was developed between current stiffness and remaining life of structure for cyclic loading. In this project, concrete cubes of different compressive strength were modelled …
