Assessing the Poisson Ratio of Reinforced Earth under Static and Dynamic Stresses
Abstract: Poisson’s ratio is an essential property of the soil strength and it is a measure of the amount of lateral strain in the soil sample caused due to the longitudinal strain of the soil. An attempt has been made in the present work to detect the variation in the Poisson ratio for reinforced and asphalt stabilized soil when tested under static and dynamic compressive stresses. Soil embankment model was prepared …

Design and Characterization of High-Performance Polymer Nanocomposites for Aerospace Applications
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites have revolutionized aerospace materials through mechanical strength, thermal stability, and lightness. A number of polymer matrices filled with nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nanoclay considerably improved structural integrity, flame resistance, and environmental adaptability. However, fabrication techniques are still being optimized so that nanofillers are properly dispersed throughout, which may create contradictions between mechanical strength and process ability. This work tries to design and characterize high- performance …

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 …
