Vibration control of a Plan irregular RC framed structure under seismic excitations with the help of TMD along with bracings
Abstract: The study of dynamic behavior of high-rise structures is immensely important as the dynamic response of the structures due to natural forces like seismic forces, wind forces etc. may result in structural failure. An unsymmetrically located shear wall or similar kind of stiff element may cause the structure to have plan irregularity. Such type of plan irregularity in high rise structure can induce the torsional displacements in the structure subjected …

X Plate Damper for Seismic Response Control of the Building
Abstract: The building system causes excessive vibrations during the seismic event which can lead to the complete collapse of a building, bridges etc. resulting in damage to the structure. Hence, the safety of the structures is essential to keep the building functional during and after the effects of the earthquake. To overcome these damages, additional energy dissipation systems are considered for the seismic protection of the building. The aim of the …

Comparative Study of various Commercially Available Programs in Slope Stability and Simulation of Dynamic Loading
Abstract: Analysis of slope stability is carried out to identify the most critical failure plane so as to minimize the occurrence of slope failures and landslides. It is always needed to give serious consideration before any construction or development is executed to ensure that the designed slopes remain stable. Slope failure can be determined through appropriate measurement of slope stability. In this study C-programming and GEO4 and Plaxis 2D software have …

Behaviour of Irregular Concrete Buildings under Seismic Forces
Abstract: The study of irregularities in a building is a fundamental parameter controlling the seismic response of buildings. From the past history of earthquakes, it is evident that the use of improper structural configurationswith plan irregularities and soft storeys has decisive effects on the seismic performance of buildings. The buildings with abrupt changes in storey stiffness have uneven lateral force distribution along the height, whichis likely to locally induce stress concentration. …
