Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …

Understanding knowledge risks in Construction Organizations: Focus towards conceptual framework
Abstract: Managing knowledge by only considering it as a strategic asset is insufficient for understanding it and making well-informed decisions. And yet, knowledge risks and their management are still very little known. To fill the gap, this paper analyses the concept of knowledge as a risk or liability and creates a conceptual framework for understanding knowledge risks inside construction organizations. Balancing the depth and coverage of knowledge risks, theoretical results, and …

Behaviour of Micropiles Groups Subjected to Vertical Loads
Abstract: Micropiles are used to reinforce soils and to support foundations. It may be installed in several directions through existing foundations so as to increase the bearing capacity of the soil and to reduce the settlement. The group effects of micropile groups subjected to vertical loads in granular soils have been investigated by many research workers. However the findings have been found to be inconsistent indicating contradictory group effects. Group behaviour …
