Study of Trapezoidal Shaped Retaining Wall with Varying Geometric Parameters
Abstract: AbstractRetaining walls play a critical role in the protection of structures from damage related to soil collapse, but many property holders are unconscious of just how integral these walls are to the overall health of their property. Properly constructed and well maintained retaining walls not only mitigate soil erosion and wash-out after excavation, but also keep soil from collapsing. Soil collapse can put your structure at risk for damage and …

Effect of Viscoelastic Dampers on Progressive Collapse Resistance of RC Building
Abstract: Natural as well as man-made hazards may cause the failure of the primary load bearing members of buildings. The spread of an initial local failure from element to element, eventually result into the collapse of an entire structure or a large part of it, which is known as Progressive Collapse. Progressive collapse initiates when one or more primary load bearing elements get fails causing failure of the entire structure. It …

5000 Series of Aluminum and Its Alloys Opaque by Inhibitors
Abstract: 5XXX series of alloys are prepared for marine applications. Light weight, strength, low maintenance and inherent tendency to form passivity surfacing have selected these alloys for manufacture of cargo ships. Anti corrosive paints have been traditional protections in these alloys. Workers exposed to chromate residues during sanding of aircraft and recoating have increased risk of cancer to 250,000-fold higher. These paints are hazardous for aquatic life, so eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors …
