Review on Application of Utility Poles for Power Transmission
Abstract: Power transmission is generally carried out using transmission poles of various materials and cross sections. However, their utilization depends on climatic conditions and external loads acting on them. For an electric overhead system, the supports for the conductor and equipment must withstand the forces imposed on them, while the conductors themselves must be sufficiently strong enough to support their own weight and the forces imposed on them. The forces comprise …

Optimization of Roof angle for Sloping Roof Buildings under Extreme Wind Conditions
Abstract: A downburst that occurs during a thunderstorm is a strong downward current of wind which comes down with high speed from the cloud level and hits the ground. After hitting the ground it spreads radially outward in all directions. These are generally destructive in nature. There are evidences of downburst causing extensive damages to buildings, electrical installations etc. In India thunderstorms often occur during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons particularly in …

Optimization of Type-4 Plastic Liner Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel Design
Abstract: Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) are prominently utilized for the storage of gases at high-pressure. Their widespread adoption is because they are significantly lighter weight compared to complete metal counterparts, but requires specialized design, and manufacturing process. This research employs finite element modelling to analyse the stress and failure assessments on a specific Type-IV COPV with plastic liner as core cylinder. This study aims to optimize COPV design by considering …

The Importance of Safety Engineering in the Design and Assessment of Foundations
Abstract: In safety engineering, ensuring the stability of structures under lateral loads is a critical aspect of foundation design. Lateral forces, such as wind, seismic activity, or other environmental pressures, exert overturning moments on columns, which must be carefully managed to prevent structural failure. To maintain stability, the overturning moment at the foundation base, generated by these lateral loads, must always be less than the restoring moment produced by the soil's …
