Evaluation of Shear Walls and Bracings in Irregular Buildings Under Seismic Load
Abstract: The structural integrity and stability of irregular buildings under lateral forces such as wind and seismic loads pose significant challenges in modern construction practices. Irregularities in a building & geometry and mass distribution can lead to uneven force distribution, making the structure more vulnerable to lateral displacement and potential failure. To enhance the resilience of such structures, shear walls and bracing systems are commonly employed to improve lateral load resistance. …

Structure–Property-Guided Polymer–Metal Hybrid Design of a Wall Plastering Spray Assembly
Abstract: Wall plastering spray equipment requires a combination of low mass, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility with cementitious mortar, and comfortable operator interaction. The original assembly was primarily developed as a metallic mechanical system; however, a polymer-focused material architecture can reduce non-load-bearing mass while retaining a safe metallic pressure path. This study, therefore, presents a structure–property-guided polymer–metal hybrid design in which the pressure housing and nozzle insert remain metallic, whereas …

Theoretical Analysis of Volume/Weight Fraction of a Dual-Constituent Composite
Abstract: Conventional equations used in analysis of composite materials are modelled based on volume-averaging principle. The volume-averaging equations were re-evaluated to provide an alternative weight-averaging consideration as a result of the difficulty in practical determination of volume fraction of individual constituents of composite material, especially particulate composite. The equivalent weight-averaging equation analysis showed that density plays a significant determining factor in material selection of individual constituent; and composite density evaluated using …

Comparison of Conventional RCC Columns, Steel Columns and Composite Columns
Abstract: Worldwide, the steel industry is expanding almost everywhere. Compared to the USA, EU, and other developed nations, India uses less steel in the construction industry. Additionally, India's cities have some of the highest population densities per square kilometre, which limits horizontal construction growth and favours vertical development. Steel structures are more ductility and can undergo more deflections while concrete structures are larger and attracts more seismic weight. Hybrid construction combines …

Diabetes Prediction Using ML Techniques
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus, commonly referred to as diabetes, denotes a cluster of prevalent endocrine disorders characterized by persistent elevated levels of blood sugar. Diabetes is classified into two main types: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes arises when the body is unable to produce insulin, while type 2 diabetes involves either insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Early detection and intervention are essential to reduce its harmful impacts. The …
