Cenosphere Based No Aggregate Floating Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is an excellent building material, used widely around the world, but the only disadvantage of concrete is that it has self-weight. This self-weight does not allow concrete to be used in light-weight structures. In this work, mix design is prepared in such a manner that density of concrete is less than that of water and hence concrete can float on water and therefore it is termed as floating concrete. …

Ascendancy of connecting assymmetrical r.c. towers using sky bridges in improving the dynamic response
Abstract: Structures constructed to serve similar purposes adjacently, are often connected to each other. These connections may be sometimes in the form of sky-bridges. Connecting the structures with each other does not cause any modification in the behaviour of the structures in the static condition, but such modification may cause huge effects on the structural behaviour under dynamically activated condition. This article basically deals with study of connected structures, when connected …

Prediction of Mix Ratios for Grade 30 Superplasticized Concrete Using Osadebe’s Regression Model
Abstract: This study developed a model for estimating the compressive strength of grade 30 super-plasticized concrete. The regression model was built using a total of 15 experimental mix ratios. The results of compressive strength at 28 days from the concrete cubes were used for model development. Two cubes (150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm) were produced per mix ratio, totaling 30 cubes for the 15 trial mix ratios. Osadebe’s …

Analysis of Retrofitting Concrete Structure Using FRP Laminates
Abstract: Retrofitting is referred to as modifying existing equipment or structure with additional or new components or members. To make older structures more resistant to accidents or seismic activity, retrofitting is referred to as modifying existing equipment or structures with new or additional members or components. An existing structure is less susceptible to damage when it is retrofitted. The use of retrofitting is on the rise right now. The structures' strength, …
