Cost Impact of Structural Irregularities
Abstract: Since absolute regularity is an idealisation that seldom exists, building structures are typically irregular. Building irregularities are unavoidable because of the many practical and aesthetic benefits. The performance of buildings subjected to earthquake pressures has revealed that asymmetric and irregular constructions produce more severe damage than regular structures, and the collapse of these structures may be blamed for the majority of human fatalities. Vertical mass inconsistency is commonly due to …

Analysis and Design of Tapered Web Pre-engineered Building (PEB) Structure for Siesmic Zones
Abstract: The use of PEB instead of a conventional steel building (CSB) design idea resulted in a number of benefits, since the members were designed according to a bending moment diagram, lowering the amount of material required. Because of its high-quality pre-design and prefabrication, as well as its light weight and cost-effectiveness, this methodology is flexible. If we use ordinary steel constructions, the time frame will be longer, and the cost …

An Investigation on Aggregate Distribution in Concrete
Abstract: Falling behavior is generally studied by mathematicians. The first study is conducted by Comte de Buffon with name “Falling needles experiment” and is widely known. Buffon researched the falling needle behavior finding the fall of needles in relation with Pi. However, although aggregates are fallen to the mould in cement paste, falling behaviour of concrete is rarely studied considering the statistical parameters of the fall.Accordingly, an experimental study is conducted …

Potential of Limestone Powder in the Production of Self Compacting Concrete
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a cutting-edge building material. It's a smooth, durable concrete that fills the formwork completely. The SCC needs a lot of powder to perform well (mostly cement). However, increasing the cement content is impractical and may result in greater hydration heat and drying shrinkage. This project studies the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on the fresh and hardened appearances of SCC. To evaluate the samples with and …
