Design of Openings and Static and Vibrational Analysis of RCC Cellular Beam
Abstract: In concrete arena, RCC cellular beams have less weight compared to solid beams which in turn reduce the weight of columns and footings. All real physical structures, when subjected to loads or displacements, behave dynamically. In this study, we have performed the static analysis and vibration analysis of a three-dimensional reinforced cement concrete cellular beam. The nodal displacements have been found and the stresses are determined. The principal stresses are …

A Review on the Light Transmission Behaviour of Concrete Using Plexiglass Fibres
Abstract: The transparent behaviour of concrete can be improved using optical fibres which enable the transmission of light into the concrete, by decreasing the energy consumption and carbon footprint, to provide a sustainable living environment. To investigate the effect of the usage of plastic optical fibres, different blocks are cast and tested for light transmission properties. The rates of usage of plastic optical fibres are varied under the same loading conditions …

The Transient Performance of Power Line Towers
Abstract: This paper presents a refined approach to the transient analysis of power line towers. Each section of the tower’s steel structure is accurately modeled as a non-uniform transmission line. Among other features, an efficient representation of the towers’ cross-arms as open-ended non-uniform lines and their subsequent approximation by lumped capacitors will be explored. Furthermore, the error introduced by neglecting the presence of the cross-arms, as well as the effect of …
