Computation of Different Stresses Acting on Cantilever Beam Using Hyperbolic Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: The shear deformation effects are more significant in the thick beams. The classical beam theory (ETB) is based on Bernoulli-Euler hypothesis and the classical plate theory (CPT) is based on Kirchhoff’s hypothesis. The shear deformation effects are more pronounced in the thick beams when subjected to transverse loads than in the thin beams under same loading condition. These effects are neglected in elementary theory of beam (ETB). In order to …

Torsional Strengthening of RC Beam using Ferrocement Jacketing
Abstract: Due to the type of loading on the structure, it is generally known that there are four structural actions: axial force, shear, bending, and torsion. The reinforced concrete beams are said to be subjected to torsion, when the point of application of lateral loads does not coincides with shear center of the beam. These loads may be due to loading pattern or connection of beam. Torsional failure is typically seen …

Liquefaction Behavior of Clean Sand for Various Sample Sizes Using Triaxial Tests
Abstract: A total of 54 isotropically consolidated un-drained triaxial compression tests on various sample sizes were conducted to study the effect of sample size on liquefaction behavior of clean sand. Specimens were prepared using moist placement and dry deposition methods with different initial relative densities and tested for different confining pressures. It was observed that as the sample size increases, deviator stress also increases. Peak value of deviator stress increased as …
