Effect of Outriggers Location on Performance of RC Building Subjected to Loss of a Column
Abstract: Progressive collapse denotes a failure of substantial part of the structure, causing greater damage to the structure than the initial impact, which has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any vertical load carrying elements (typically columns). Failure of large part of any structure will result into substantial loss of human lives and natural resources. Therefore, it is important to prevent …

Static Flexure of Thick Fixed Beams Subjected to Cosine Loading using Refined Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: The theory is developed to analyze the thick fixed beam considering the effect of transverse shear deformation. The important feature of this theory is that the transverse shear stresses can be obtained directly using constitutive relationship. While developing the theory the number of variables is kept same as that of first order shear deformation theory. As the theory satisfies the zero shear stress condition on the top and bottom of …
