Design and Estimation of Concrete Gravity Dam using STAAD.Pro and MS Excel
Abstract: Aim of current project is to propose a gravity dam across river Tapi, Amravati district in Maharashtra. Many Talukas in nearby areas are facing severe water shortage for major part of a year as there are no other perennial water resource. Agriculture is solely dependent on monsoon. Ground water table is very low. Scope of project includes site selection, collection of rainfall data, planning, design and estimation analysis of the …

Recovery of Iron Values from Iron Ore Slimes using Reagents
Abstract: Mining wastes include waste generated during the extraction, beneficiation or processing of minerals like iron ore fines, slimes and tailings. Approximately 10–20% of the raw material is discarded as slimes in to slime ponds/tailing dams. Recovery of iron values from slimes result in economic benefit by utilization of waste as a resource and minimizes the threat to the environment. The iron ore slime is generally considered as waste due to …

Experimental Investigation on the Seismic Disaster Mitigation of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Buildings
Abstract: The Himalayan region is considered to have the potential to produce earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 or greater once every 100 years. Since the occurrence of an earthquake cannot be prevented; therefore, seismic disaster mitigation remains the only option for the civil society. Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, constructed with stone or brick, are very common in Northern Pakistan part of Himalayan belt. The seismic performance of stone masonry was found very …

Seismic Retrofitting of Floating Column Building with Fluid Viscous Dampers and Structural Bracings by using Fast Non-linear Time History Analysis
Abstract: In some of the building structures, even in the newly constructed one, floating columns are used to achieve an aesthetic view or to satisfy the space requirement criteria of building areas like reception lobbies, parking spaces, conference rooms in malls etc. With the use of proper design considerations, buildings built with floating columns, which otherwise are not advised by the codes, can withstand vertical loads, i.e., gravity loads and live …

Synthesis of low cost artificial sand from fly ash and its application as a filter material
Abstract: The usage of natural river sand is increasing vastly. Geopolymers are materials with three-dimensional alumina silicate structures that have a high mechanical strength and can be used as an alternative to Portland cement. The probability of using Natural river sand can also be replaced with geopolymer synthetic sand. There are many properties which may lead the scarcity of natural river sand they are Because of landslides, tsunamis and erosion. The …

EVALUATION OF MINE WASTE ROCKS FOR USE AS MATERIALS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Abstract: Mine rock wastes are materials that are removed in order to access and mine the ore. They pose significant environmental challenges due to their existence in large volumes. The chemical and geomechanical properties of mine rock wastes were determined to aid in assessing their suitability for use as aggregates for road construction. The chemical and geotechnical test performed on the samples were Sulphate, pH, Aggregate Crushing Value, Sodium Sulphate Soundness, …

A Review Study on Dynamic Analysis of Multistoreyed Buildings by using Seismostruct Software
Abstract: Civil Engineering structures are designed to withstand environmental forces like earthquake, along with gravity loads. These forces are random and dynamic in nature. Therefore the response of the structure is also dynamic and that is what causes the unsafe and uncomfortable conditions. So, performance based analysis of the structure is required which can be achieved by Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) as well as Response Spectrum analysis (RSA). But, Incremental dynamic …
