EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON PUSH-OFF SPECIMEN USING CONCRETE
Abstract: The present study is aiming at an experimental investigation of in-plane shear strength of normal concrete by using push-off test specimen. Different mix grade of normal concrete that is M20, M40, M60, M80 were used for the investigation which was designed using as per IS 10262-2009The dimensions of the push-off specimen were carefully selected, measuring 150mm × 150mm × 260mm, with a notch thickness of 5mm. Two notches, designed in …

Enhancing Delamination Resistance in CFRP Composites through surface Functionalization of Woven carbon Fiber by CuO Nanostructures
Abstract: In order to produce a nanostructured interphase that improves the interfacial interaction with an epoxy resin matrix, copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were hydrothermally formed onto woven carbon fibers (WCF). Hexagonal CuO nanorods were created using a two-step, seed-assisted solvothermal technique on plain woven carbon fiber. This study investigates the effects of surface modification of carbon fibers by the formation of CuO nanostructures using a hydrothermal technique on the mechanical properties …

Hydrothermal modification of carbon fiber fabrics by ZnO nanorods for mechanical strengthening of CFRP laminates
Abstract: Hexagonal ZnO nanorods were produced on plain woven carbon fiber using a two-step seed-assisted hydrothermal procedure. By varying the process parameters such as molar concentrations, number of seeding cycles, and growth duration at a controlled growth temperature of 90 °C, it is feasible to produce ZnO nanostructures with a range of morphologies, including nanowires, hexagonal nanorods, and nanoflowers. The developed morphologies were examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy and …

Behaviour of Staggered Opening Shear wall in Tall buildings
Abstract: Now a days we are seeing a rapidly increasing the cost of land not only in India even all over the world and also we need to preserve our important agricultural productive land too. All contributed towards both residential and commercial structures growth in vertical direction that is high rise structure. Behavior of these high rise structures especially with shear walls during hazards like earthquake, wind and lateral loads due …

Light Weight Applications of Sandwich Panels in Various Industries
Abstract: Sandwich construction is of particular interest and widely used, because the concept is very suitable and amenable to the development of lightweight structures with high in-plane and flexural stiffness. Sandwich panels consist typically of two thin face sheets (or facings, or skins) and a lightweight thicker core. Commonly used materials for facings are composite laminates and metals, while cores are made of metallic and nonmetallic honeycombs, cellular foams, balsa wood …

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 …

Advancements in Seismic Analysis Based on Shear Walls Composite Materials
Abstract: In this study more than 30 research papers are thoroughly reviewed in the area of Seismic Analysis based on Shear Walls. Seismic performance evaluation is used to assess a construction's seismic behavior in accordance with predetermined performance criteria. These methods have been applied in a number of assessment studies to investigate the seismic behavior of shear wall designs, and their findings have advanced the field overall. Shear wall is works …

Experimental and Numerical Studies on Radial Tensile Strength of Composite Rotor
Abstract: This paper describes the experimental and numerical studies on the radial tensile strength (RTS) of composite rotor. Carbon/epoxy composite rotors were fabricated using a filament winding process and their radial tensile strength was determined by diametric tensile testing of composite C-rings. The radial tensile strength of the composite rotor was measured as ~ 22 MPa and the failure was found to occur circumferentially symmetric about the horizontal plane of the …

Flow Structures Around Proposed Bridge Piers
Abstract: The current study investigated the flow hydrodynamics around proposed bridge pier and made comparison with existing bridge pier. To quantify the flow structures around the piers, the flow and turbulence parameters are analysed to understand the interference of one bridge pier over another. The experiments were performed on recirculating channel of 15 m length, 0.89 m width and 0.65 m height. Instantaneous three-dimensional velocity data was recorded by acoustic Doppler …
