Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in IGBC Certified Green Building Project: Transforming Construction Sustainability

By Pratik Bhavsar, J. R. Pitroda, Reshma L. Patel, and Raj Modi

Abstract: Abstract Construction industry sustainability goals can be achieved through implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM), which simultaneously contribute to Lifecycle Cost Assessments of building projects. BIM’s integrated approach to design, construction, and facility management contributes to more sustainable building practices by enabling better decision-making throughout a project’s lifecycle. Design IGBC certified green building project with…

Design and Implementation of Autonomous Robots for Crack Detection in Dam Walls: Analyzing Vision-Based Algorithms and Structural Health Monitoring

By Ravikant Nanwatkar, Vishwajeet Jangam, Prajyot Devkar, Shreyan Borawake, and Hari Kulkarni

Abstract: AbstractThe maintenance of dam walls is critical to ensure structural integrity, safety, and efficient water management. Cracks and other structural deficiencies can lead to severe consequences if left undetected. Traditional inspection methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and often hazardous, necessitating the development of autonomous systems for effective monitoring. This study focuses on the design and implementation…

Investigation of Tangential Shear Stress and Frictional Torque Coefficient over a Rotating Disk of the Rotor-Stator System

By Kamal Singh, A. Singh, and D.K. Singh

Abstract: Abstract The study investigates the prediction of tangential shear stress and the frictional torque coefficient over a rotating disk in a rotor-stator system under laminar inward flow conditions. The interaction between the rotating and stationary disks is governed by key parameters, such as volumetric flow rate, rotational speed of the disk, and the axial clearance…

Nonlinear Finite Element Approaches for Structural Failure Prediction: A Comparative Assessment with Case Studies

By Purva Taksalkar

Abstract: Abstract Nonlinear finite element methods (NLFEM) have become indispensable for predicting structural failure in complex engineering systems, particularly where linear models fail to capture critical behaviors, such as large deformations, crack propagation, and post-buckling responses. This study investigates and compares several state-of-the-art NLFEM techniques – namely cohesive zone modeling (CZM), extended finite element method (XFEM),…

Smart Homes: Revolutionizing Living Spaces Through Technology

By Ravikant Nanwatkar, Kedarraj Biradar, and Om Chakre

Abstract: Abstract The research paper explores the concept of smart homes, which are defined as dwelling places equipped with interconnection devices that allow remote management and automation of different systems within the house. Such a conception of smart homes will need more room as the Internet of Things continues to be developed. Smart homes are associated…
