Accidental Eccentricity Demand of Educational Building due to Imposed Load Uncertainty
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, the accidental eccentricity demand of an educational building due to live load uncertainty is worked out. The various occupancies of an educational building are imposed with suitable intensity of imposed load as per IS 875 provision and for different situations of these loads the maximum shift of centre of mass is evaluated. To define imposed load intensity, gamma probability distribution is used. The values of accidental eccentricity …

Case Study on the Limitations of Prefabricated Building Technology in Ethiopian Building Industry: The Case of Addis Ababa
Abstract: AbstractWorldwide, prefabricated method of construction (PMC) is the most practicable and effective method of construction. However, in Ethiopia it is not further growing and the construction sector depends on conventional method of construction (CMoC). On the contrary, the building construction industry in Ethiopia is increasing due to tremendous growth in population and fast urbanization. The purpose of this study was to investigate the critical causes that limit the application of …

A Review of Statistical Project Control Tool for Construction Industry
Abstract: AbstractProject management at construction industry is a complex task which involves qualitative and quantitative analysis of the activities. Various statistical models have been developed and suggested by the researchers which aim at making the process of managing construction projects more systematic and to access any shortcoming at the proper time, before it leads to the failure of the project. This paper presents and overview of such methods and discusses theirimportance …

To Study Effects on the Strength of Concrete after Partially Replacing Fine Aggregates by Waste Glass Bottle in M35 Concrete Mix
Abstract: AbstractConcrete is used as the major material in construction industries. As the population of world increase rapidly, worlds faces the problem for habitation and waste by-products. As the waste is proportional to the population and there are restrictions of natural resources used in concrete, this construction industry needs some attention to use some other materials so that they can be mixed in concrete to get the new product,the physical properties …

Comparative Study of Seismic Performance of Conventional Tube Structures and Diagrid Structure
Abstract: AbstractConstruction of tall building is rapidly increasing throughout the world. Advances in construction technology, structural systems, analysis and design software facilitated the growth of the buildings. Recently, the diagrid structural system has been widely used for tall buildings due to the structural efficiency and aesthetic potential provided by the unique geometric configuration of the system. The “diagrid” is a combination of the two words i.e. diagonal and grid which form …

To Study Effects on the Strength of Concrete after Partially Replacing Fine Aggregates by Waste Glass Bottle in M40 Concrete Mix
Abstract: AbstractConcrete is used as the dominant material in construction industries. As the population of globe increase rapidly, worlds faces the problem for habitation and waste by-product. As the waste is proportional to the population and there are restrictions of natural resources used in concrete, this construction industry needs some heed to use some other material so that they can be mixed in concrete to get the new product, the physical …

UTILIZATION OF WASTE MARBLE SLURRY AND GLASS POWDER IN CONCRETE
Abstract: ABSTRACT In day by day increasing the pollution & cost of cement and sand their replacing material is necessary. In this investigation marble slurry and glass powder was used as a partial replacing material. The proportion of glass powder was 5-25% in interval of 5% by total weight of cement and marble slurry 10-50% in interval of 10% by total weight of sand. This study investigates the performance of concrete …
