Static Flexure of Thick Fixed Beams Subjected to Cosine Loading using Refined Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: The theory is developed to analyze the thick fixed beam considering the effect of transverse shear deformation. The important feature of this theory is that the transverse shear stresses can be obtained directly using constitutive relationship. While developing the theory the number of variables is kept same as that of first order shear deformation theory. As the theory satisfies the zero shear stress condition on the top and bottom of …

Analysis of Communication Tower under Wind Load
Abstract: With the rapid and widespread expansion of long distance broadcasting and communication in last two decades, the structural engineers have been faced with the problem of support of antennas at great heights, which is necessary to broadcast signals over long distance. In addition, the field of power transmission also requires the high tension conductors to be installed at reasonable heights. The present study focus on analysis of communication towers for …

Analysis of Composite Behavior of Masonry Wall and Supporting Beam
Abstract: Composite behavior of brick masonry wall and supporting beam is outlined through this topic. Masonry in filled reinforced concrete construction is most common in urban and rural areas. The composite behavior of masonry and the supporting beam is neglected in the modern structural design. In the present study, finite element analysis is used for analysis of composite action of wall and supporting beam. Materials are modeled using Macro modeling. The …

Behaviour of an End Flatted Space Frame Connector: A Parametric Study
Abstract: Space structures contributed many structural applications within the last decades insteel industry with a remarkable acceptance. The popularity of three-dimensional structures has been growing steadily, but their present acceptance all over the world is truly phenomenal. Nowadays, space structures are willing used by architects and engineers for industrial buildings, sport halls, gymnasia, hangars etc. The large number of space frames built shows clearly that, through prefabrication and industrialization, these systems …

Comparative Study of Multistorey Building with Composite Column at Soft Storey
Abstract: Increase in population, car parking space is major concern. Hence, trend has been set up to use ground floor for parking purpose. Literature shows that, large number of reinforced concrete (RC) building with soft storey damaged by earthquake shaking due to many structural deficiencies such as, column with insufficient confinements, strong beam weak column, formation of plastic hinge at beam-column joint, opening of 90 degree ties, poor detailing in beam-column …

Corrosion of Reinforcement in Concrete and Steel: Review Paper
Abstract: Present paper review about all the aspects of corrosion of reinforcement. Like methods for controlling the corrosion, Alternatives materials, numerical modelling for predicting the corrosion rates. Different admixtures used for controlling corrosions. Epoxy materials compared to conventional cementite materials shows very small shrinkage defect. For damage prediction rate of corrosion is very crucial input parameters. Corrosioninfluencing factors such as cover cracking, resistivity, concrete quality and cover depth should be incorporated …

Different Confinement Pattern and Behavior of Short Concrete Column
Abstract: In recent years, as the economy of country grows, vast construction is done in our country. Among which majority of people have consulted with skilled persons, and there are some who constructed without involvement of professionals. In such scenario professionals to the best of their knowledge followed the techniques as mentioned in IS code for a column. But in those cases where professionals are not consulted and unskilled person construct …

Experimental Study on Behaviour of RC Beam using Concrete mixed with Magnetically Treated Water
Abstract: It is expected that in the near future, the civil engineering community will have to produce structures in harmony with the concept of sustainable development through the use of high- performance materials with low environmental impact that are produced at a reasonable cost. Magnetic water used in concrete, synthesized from the normal materials used for manufacturing of concrete, provides one route towards this objective. This paper presents that the effect …

Validation of Fuzzy System by Slump and Compressive Strength of Steel Slag Aggregate Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is the most important material used in constructionand is usually a mixture of fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, cement, water and admixtures. Concrete mix design is a process of proportioning the ingredients in right proportions. Using artificial intelligence networks like MATLAB for optimization of concrete ingredient. By which better packing of aggregates to be achieved, will improves the greater strength, modulus of elasticity, creep and shrinkage of concrete. Technique is …

Study of High Strength Fiber Reinforced Metakaolin Concrete under Flexure and SplitTensile Strength
Abstract: An experimental investigation was carried out to study the effect of inclusion of metakaolin and steel fibers on high strength concrete in flexure and split tensile strength. The beams of 150x150x700 mm were casted. M60 grade of concrete was used. Superplasticizers were used to improve workability. The metakolin was added upto 20% with the increments of 5% and steel fibers were added upto 5% with the increment of 0.5%. Various …
