Effect of Wind on Multistoried Structure for Irregular Plan with Optimum Shear Wall Location using E-TAB Software
Abstract: For multistory structure, the challenge is to make it feasible in terms of lateral loads due to wind and earthquake, which prominently dominate the structure. This study chronicles the stages of ongoing research initiative to study several high-rise buildings of irregular shapes under action of wind with and without shear wall and its optimum location in the structure. Multi-storey irregular buildings of irregular plans like h-shape, J-shape of RCC framed …

Continuity Plates in the Connections of I-Beam to Box Column have been Replaced with Novel External Stiffener
Abstract: This paper addresses the implementation difficulties of continuity plates inside of box-column, where the I beam is connected by a novel design. In this design, there is no continuity plate inside the box-column. At the end of the beam, where it should be connected to the column, its flanges are symmetrically cut and connected to the beam with two divergent plates as external stiffeners which can distinguishably be noted a …

Effect of Viscoelastic Dampers on Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Building
Abstract: Natural as well as man-made hazards may cause the failure of the primary load bearing members of buildings. The spread of an initial local failure from element to element, eventually result into the collapse of an entire structure or a large part of it, which is known as Progressive Collapse. Progressive collapse initiates when one or more primary load bearing elements get fails causing failure of the entire structure. It …

Influence of Corrosion on Flexural Strength of Concrete
Abstract: The large-scale infrastructure uses reinforcement concrete. It has been believed that protection to steel reinforcement by concrete is permanent. The influence of atmospheric corrosion of steel and its performance in concrete has been subject to controversy in the construction industry. Service life of reinforced concrete structure can be significantly reduced when the corrosion of reinforcing steel is initiated; the product of corrosion expands and occupies greater volume than original volume …

Seismic Response of Braced RC Elevated Water Tanks for Various Seismic Zones
Abstract: In this paper, a reinforced concrete elevated water tank with a capacity of 500 cubic meters and h/d ratio=0.7 is considered, the present study investigate the performance of elevated water tank using dynamic analysis, i.e., Response Spectrum method. The modeling of elevated water tank is carried out by using finite element base software STAAD.Pro. Total twelve number of model were made for empty tank, half tank and full tank condition, …

Effect of Outriggers Location on Performance of RC Building Subjected to Loss of a Column
Abstract: Progressive collapse denotes a failure of substantial part of the structure, causing greater damage to the structure than the initial impact, which has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load carrying elements (typically columns). Failure of large part of any structure will result into substantial loss of human lives and natural resources. Therefore, it is important to prevent …

Computation of Different Stresses Acting on Cantilever Beam Using Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: The shear deformation effects are more significant in the thick beams. The classical beam theory (ETB) is based on Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis and the classical plate theory (CPT) is based on Kirchhoff’s hypothesis. The shear deformation effects are more pronounced in the thick beams when subjected to transverse loads than in the thin beams under same loading condition. These effects are neglected in elementary theory of beam (ETB). In order to …

Effect of Partial Fixity on Negative Bending Moments in RCC Frames
Abstract: This paper presents the variation of bending moments in the RCC frames structure for different ratios of moment of inertia of the column and the beam (IC/IB). In this study, three different cases of frames structure are considered e.g. the first case is single bay single storey to single bay five storied frames structure, the second case is two bays single storey to two bays five storied frames structure and …
