Active Fire Protection for a Hospital Building by Fire Suppression and Fire Detection Alarm Systems
Abstract: Fire protection systems are often disregarded, underutilized, and misunderstood despite their critical role in safeguarding lives and property. Although the requirements for these systems have been clearly defined and the widespread benefits of their installation in all types of structures are well recognized, some individuals, including the general public, show little to no interest in fire protection. This lack of interest can be attributed to a lack of awareness regarding …

Seismic Evaluation of RC Framed Buildings using Performance Based Design
Abstract: Seismic resiliency of new buildings has developed over the years due to enhancements in seismic codes and design practices. Though, existing buildings designed and built under past codes are vulnerable and require a performance-based screening and retrofit prioritizing. Performance based seismic design provides a framework for determining the level of safety and level of property protection in earthquake events with the consideration of uncertainties in the quantification of possible hazard …

Seismic Response for RC Frames on Sloping Ground using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: Open story structures are to be mainly susceptible to collapse and severe damage under earthquake excitation in hill areas. Nowadays many buildings constructed have soft ground story for various purposes, for example, multipurpose hall, parking etc. The examination has been led to get the reaction of RC open story building exposed to seismic tremor loads. In present work, twelve storied structure on inclined ground (150 with horizontal) are considered. The …

Axial Load Carrying Capacity of RCC Column Jacketed with Steel Angels and Steel Strips
Abstract: An The Purpose of this research is to study & analyze the existing structures of Factory shed which is almost 32 years old which is deteriorated and not in working from 20 years. Due to non-working condition of factory shed, steel truss and other structural parts are not maintained time to time as results the structural members are corroded and RCC members are deteriorated. Hence the existing column is retrofitted …

Seismic Control System for Vertically Irregular Buildings
Abstract: Behavior of High rise building mainly depends on their structural planning. In this present study, a G+20 storey RCC building having vertical setback irregularity above tenth storey is considered. Due to such irregular configuration building becomes more vulnerable to seismic vibration. To control these vibration stiffeners are used at suitable positions, by going through trial and error method. The parameters considered for comparison are fundamental time period, storey displacement and …

Damage Assessment in Reinforced Concrete Structures
Abstract: Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to a pattern of loading in addition to deterioration with age during their service life, which lead to damage of the structure. Damage assessment is an integral part of structural health monitoring (SHM) which aims to detect, locate and quantify the damage as well as predict the remaining service ability of the structure. Damage assessment technique can be classified into either global or local methods. …

IS-Aligned Strategic Evaluation of Fire Protection Systems for Improving Fire Safety in Mixed-Occupancy High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper presents a substantially reworked Indian-context evaluation of fire protection systems in a 14-building high-rise sample from Indore. The study reuses the original field dataset but replaces the earlier code mix with an explicitly IS-aligned and NBC-oriented analytical framework. Physical observation, document review and interview inputs were screened against requirements related to means of egress, compartmentation, fire detection and alarm, hydrants and hose reels, extinguishers, emergency lighting, smoke control, …
