A Review on Conversion of Residential Building into Green Building by using Thermal Properties
Abstract: AbstractHumans build homes and buildings for protecting themselves from the natural consequences of environment, but it also led to impact the environment in so many ways. For the construction of the building, many trees are cut down for creating a space for different infrastructures. The usage of wood from the trees for the manufacturing of furniture as well as daily needs of the humans leads to the deforestation that has …

Response Study of High Rise Building under Wind Load
Abstract: Wind is a phenomenon of great complexity because of the many flow situations arising from the interaction of wind with structures. Wind is of the most significant forces of nature that must be considered in design of buildings. The characteristics of wind-induced loads on buildings continuously vary in temporal and spatial dimensions. Adequate design of buildings depends on the success in predicting the actual effects of turbulent wind forces to …

Torsional Effect on Multi-Storeyed Building on Regular and Irregular shape of Building with and without Infill by Using P-Delta Analysis
Abstract: Torsional effect on structure is the modified seismic response of building which caused several damages or collapse of structure. P-Delta effect are the second order effects which increase lateral displacement in which the lateral displacement can be caused by wind or seismically induced inertial forces in the high rise structure. The increase in number of storey in the structure directly proportion to the delta effect in the structure. The present …

Progressive and Staged Analysis of RC Building Frame
Abstract: AbstractThe RC building frame is analyzed for gravity load as a complete space/plane frame using computer software. The Dead Load (DL) accumulates as construction work progresses. The analysis results obtained for partly built building frame differs from those obtained from complete frame analysis. The structural elements of partly built building frame may pass through critical stage when analyzed for DL and Construction Load (CL) acting on partly built building frame. …
