A Study on Stress Block Parameters
Abstract: The compressive stress distribution in concrete, when mathematically modeled, can be defined by characteristic parameters known as stress block parameters. There are three such parameters, namely, shape factor, k1, depth factor, k2, and maximum stress factor, k3. There are various shapes of stress blocks, like parabolic, equivalent rectangular, equivalent triangular, and rectangular-parabolic. Various standard codes have adopted an equivalent rectangular stress block, whereas the Indian code has adopted rectangular-parabolic stress …

Stakeholder’s Influence on Design-Construction Planning
Abstract: The design phase requires several interactions between the client and the architect as compared to other phases. Major decisions on the project were finalized during this design phase with the inadequate involvement of the forthcoming stakeholders—fabricators, contractors and vendors. Further, fragmentation in design and construction phase had led to redesign and rework during the construction execution. Additionally, this fragmentation had design solutions that had not involved constructability issues, which resulted …

Piled Raft Design Approach for a High Rise Building on Tithal Road, Valsad, Gujarat
Abstract: ABSTRACTThe piled raft foundation has been efficiently used for the foundation of high rise structures. A typical high rise building generally imparts higher load on central core area due to existence of lifts, elevators and shear walls, comparison to the edge area. The shallow foundation may not control the settlement and the pile foundation cost may be expansive for the foundation of high rise structures. The piled raft foundation can …

ENHANCED TECHNIQUE FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PROCEDURE IN FRACTURED ROCK MASS
Abstract: Notwithstanding the broad hypothetical work about hydraulic fracturing technique for estimation of stresses in rock mass, the experimental work has so far been restricted, particularly on account of its legitimacy in fractured rocks. Much work has been completed about the induced fractures created by hydraulic fracturing tests, however not on the impact of previously existing fractures and joints and their impact. When a fracture has been originated at the borehole …
