Comparative Study of Seismic Performance of Multistory Symmetrical RC Frame Structure with and Without Dampers
Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of friction dampers on the nonlinear seismic performance of multistory structure. The operational mechanism of these devices is that a large amount of energy inputting to the structure could be absorbed and the displacement of the structure is reduced. For this purpose, four types of frames are investigated with dampers at different locations. Three types of natural time histories are used for the nonlinear seismic …

Comparative Study on Damper and Shear Wall in Earthquake Analysis for Multi-storey Structure
Abstract: The earthquake is the one of the most devastating natural hazards that causes serious Structural damage and also great loss of life. Structural irregularities or asymmetrical plan are commonly found in constructions and structure due to the architectural demand .this research work focused on symmetric and asymmetric multi-storey building under the action of earthquake with and without damper and shear wall. The load combination given in IS-1893-2002 (Part-1.). The performance …

Seismic Response of Multistoreyed Building for Different Stiffness Conditions
Abstract: Many buildings in the present scenario have irregular configurations both in elevation and plan. This in future may subject to devastating earthquakes. It is necessary to identify the performance of the structures to withstand against disaster for both new and existing buildings. Now a days, openings in the floors is common for many reasons like stair cases, lighting architectural etc., these openings in diaphragms cause stresses at discontinues joints with …

Experimental Investigation on Ferrocement Slab Using Steel Fibres and Different Sands
Abstract: Ferrocement is defined as wire mesh reinforcement impregnated with mortar to produce elements of small thickness. An experimental study has been carried out to study the effect of different compositions of cement mortar using 10% fly ash and different percentage of 6–8% silica fumes with two types of sands such as Badarpur sand and river sand and show the effect of load versus deflection curve and flexural strength of ferrocement …

Advanced Modeling and Static Analysis of Inverted Umbrella Roof Shell Using ANSYS
Abstract: In this objective paper, an inverted umbrella roof shell are designing and modeling for the static analysis in ANSYS (15) using finite element method. The finite element analysis is carried by using total deformation and normal stresses in longitudinal direction and on X and Y plane to determine, respectively. Responses of umbrella roof shell results are linear and quadratic variation of the membrane displacements in the inverted direction are investigated …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …

Economical Design of Stiffened Plate using FEM
Abstract: This paper presents the economical design of stiffened plate subjected to transverse load. The model of stiffened plate is developed using ANSYS APDL 14.0 for the finite element analysis and design. At first, a convergence study is carried out to arrest the optimum mesh size for discretizing the plate. The maximum deflection of plate with and without stiffeners subjected to point and uniformly distributed load for both fixed and simply …

Study of Influence of Corrosion and Cracking on Bond Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Member
Abstract: Reinforced concrete, as composite material has occupied special place in the modern construction of different type of structure. Reinforced concrete is inherently durable and near maintenance free construction material. 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 of steel, eventually causes cracking of concrete. The composite action of …

Analytical Study on Optimum Placement and Sizing of X-Plate Metallic Dampers for Seismic Response Control of Multistoried RC Building Frame
Abstract: X-plate metallic damper (XPD) is one device that is capable of sustaining many cycles of stable yielding deformation resulting in a high level of energy dissipation or damping. For quantification of effectiveness of XPD, optimum placement and sizing of XPD are one of the practical interest. This paper investigates effect of placement and sizing of X-Plate damper on a G+3 square shaped building. The most optimal damper placement location pattern …
