Comparative Seismic Response of Irregular High-Rise RCC 25 Storey Buildings with and without Shear Walls Considering P–Delta Effect
Abstract: The seismic performance of high-rise reinforced concrete (RCC) buildings is significantly affected by plan irregularity, lateral stiffness distribution, and second-order (P–Delta) effects. Irregular structural configurations may generate torsional response and increased deformation demand under seismic excitation while geometric nonlinearity further amplifies displacement and internal forces in tall structures . This study presents a comparative seismic assessment of a G+24 storey RCC building having overall plan dimensions of 30,000 mm × …

Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …

Trussed Bridges
Abstract: Trussed railway bridges offer a unique structural advantage by efficiently distributing the load between the truss members and the girder. In such designs, a significant portion of the load is carried by the truss members, which reduces the stress on the bridge girder itself. As a result, the girder in a trussed bridge can be constructed with a reduced thickness compared to bridges that lack a truss system. This optimization …
