Structural Optimization Using Structural Elements Locations In RCC Staircase
Abstract: This paper presents a comparative study of the structural member’s configuration in design economy by considering the alternate arrangement of the structural components in a stare- case design optimization. Three different types of stair namely beamless & slab less stair, doglegged stair with central beam and stair with beams at both ends (traditional stair) is considered here. The structural behaviour is different for each case. An optimize depth for all …

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BI ANGLE SHAPED SQUARE FOOTING UNDER TWO WAY ECCENTRIC LOADING
Abstract: Footing subjected to eccentric loading along two mutually perpendicular axes is quite a common field problem. Due to this bearing capacity is reduced considerably as the effective size is drastically reduced. A footing may be subjected to two-way eccentricity due to many reasons. In the case of footing subjected to one-way eccentricity the common practice is to match the centre of gravity of column loads to centre of gravity of …

Novel Approach to Improve Stack Effect in High Rise Buildings
Abstract: This paper aims at improving stack effect in high rise buildings using an innovative approach. Parameters influencing stack effect in high rise buildings are identified based on standard theory and practice. A new draft number for estimating stack effect in high rise buildings is derived using Buckingham-П theorem. Airflow data of a university high rise building is considered in estimating stack effect. The draft number developed is enclosed in ANSYS …
