Progressive Collapse Prevention Analysis of Multi-Storeyed Buildings by Using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: AbstractThis paper investigates an actual structure’s potential to break due to progressive collapse. This report looks into the progressive collapse resistance of high-rise RC structures. Progressive collapse of building constructions, primarily concentrates on concrete structures. Progressive collapse of a structure occurs when major structural load carrying members are removed suddenly. A progressive collapse is initiated as a consequence of local structural damages. It produces a chain reaction mechanism, into a …

Experimental Study on Effectiveness of MTMD in Reducing Structural Response of Multi-story Asymmetric model Under Harmonic Loading.
Abstract: The current trend toward construction of high rise building with the use of lightweight, high strength material and advance construction methods have led to making comparatively light and flexible structures, which have relatively low natural damping. Results make structures more prone to environmental excitation such as earthquake loads. An asymmetry in a building which may arise due to unsymmetrical distribution of stiffness, mass, damping and strength characteristics. The responses of …

Rainfall-runoff Relationship in Small Mountainous Catchments
Abstract: An event of stream danger was seen in a little watershed, where precipitation prompted a critical decrease in soil dampness content. This development of soil water can be perceived as sporadic motions as it streams into lower layers. This peculiarity includes a significant measure of water going through the dirt, contributing fundamentally to the general outpouring from the watershed. The precariousnessdriven stream hypothesis can depict this peculiarity, which emerges because …

A Comparative Evaluation of a 13-story G+ Building with a Soft Storey, Using Pushover Analysis, with a Focus on the Impact of Different Placement of Shear Walls
Abstract: Asymmetrical structures with varying degrees of irregularity have proven to be a significant factor in causing collapses, damage to property, and injury during earthquakes. Despite extensive research on asymmetric buildings, there are currently no established guidelines for multi-story structures of this type. A soft storey, also known as a weak storey, is a level in a structure with insufficient rigidity or ductility to sustain earthquake-induced damage Pushover analysis has been …

Molecular Mechanism of Fluoride Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Fluorine (Fl) a member of the halogen family is the most electronegative and reactive of all the elements of the Periodic table. Chronic and acute exposures of fluoride leads to cardiovascular disease (hypertension and atherosclerosis), neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver disease, renal disease, reproductive effects, other health disorders and also affects the antioxidant system in the body. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage is a common malady in fluoride …

Anthropogenic Intensification and Emerging Air Pollution Patterns across the Western Himalaya: Multi-Year Spatiotemporal Case Study
Abstract: Anthropogenic intensification is profoundly impacting air quality within vulnerable mountain ecosystems, yet the availability of long-term, high-resolution data from the Western Himalaya is strikingly limited. This study provides a detailed multi-year (2020-2024) spatiotemporal analysis of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), ammonia (NH3), and ozone (O3) concentrations across contrasting anthropogenic settings—specifically, tourist influx zones such as Dharamshala and industrial hotspots like Damtal in Himachal Pradesh, India. Key pollutants …

Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Circular Cylinder at Low and Subcritical Reynolds Numbers-Part I: Low Reynolds Numbers
Abstract: The vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder at low and low subcritical Reynolds numbers is studied numerically over wide ranges of the influencing parameters. The cylinder dynamics is modeled using a spring-damper-mass system and the fluid dynamics is simulated using the two-dimensional approximation. An implicit, collocated moving grid finite volume algorithm implemented on an unstructured triangular mesh is adopted to solve the fluid dynamic equations. The numerical simulation confirms that …
