BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS DURING MAINSHOCK–AFTERSHOCK EARTHQUAKES
Abstract: ABSTRACT - Earthquakes are among most destructive natural hazards, often causing widespread damage to buildings and vital infrastructure. The extent of this damage depends on various factors, one of which is the nature of fault movement. The point of initial rupture beneath the Earth’s surface is known as the hypocenter or focus. Seismic activity can be broadly divided into two categories: mainshocks and aftershocks. While the mainshock generally causes the …

To Study the Effects on Mechanical Properties ofConcrete by Partial Replacement of Sand with MetallicSwarf
Abstract: Abstract The utilization of metallic swarf in concrete manufacturing is increasing in importance due to its environmental and economic benefits. However, the mechanical qualities of such concrete frequently appear inferior to regular concrete. To improve the mechanical characteristics of standard concrete, numerous additives have been researched, but the utilization of metallic swarf remains a mystery. This research investigates the recycling of waste metallic swarf produced in the automobile industry and …

Prediction of Circular Frequency of Precast Concrete Piles with Distributed Mass by Resonance Moment–Displacement Approach
Abstract: This paper presents the results of circular natural frequency of single piles from critical buckling load by resonance moment-displacement approach. The support end conditions considered are pinned-pinned, fixed-fixed, and fixed-pinned respectively. It was assumed that resonance moment occurs when the bending moment diagram is made equal to zero at the supports while the resonance displacement is the sum total deflections resulting from the system reduction to an equivalent pinned-pinned system. …

Comparative Study of the Nature of Slag in the Formulation of Concrete Pavers
Abstract: The steel mill generates about 8000 tons/year of slag by transforming scrap metal to produce more than 60000 tons/year of wire rod and steel reinforcing bars. These co-products are stored or used for backfill. With this almost inexhaustible slag deposit, Morocco has a valuable resource thanks to its high content of silicates, lime and metal oxides. This has led to the attempt to valorize it in the manufacture of paving …

Innovative Application of Prefabs in Earthquake-Resistant Bridge Construction
Abstract: Abstract Pre-stressed concrete, widely known to be a prefabricated structure (Prefab in short) has long been accepted in statically loaded structures. Thus, we have seen the construction of pre-stressed concrete bridges, dams, pipelines, reservoirs and various structures including more recently atomic reactor pressure vessels. In recent years pre-stressed concrete has been specially used in seismic resistant structures. Just like any other new material, it will attract criticism and comment, sometimes …

Analysis of Box Culvert with Different Aspect Ratio
Abstract: Box culverts are the default buried structure type, where pipe solutions are not suitable. Their larger openings are often required to provide adequate hydraulic capacity. Box culverts are also frequently used for pedestrian or cattle underpasses. The reinforcement used in concrete box culverts can be either conventional bar reinforcement or welded wire fabric. Welded wire fabric has yield strength slightly larger than conventional bar reinforcement. Standard designs for precast concrete …

Mechanical Response of Cementitious Composites Containing Alkali-Resistant Glass Fiber Reinforcement
Abstract: ABSTRACT Concrete is one of the most widely utilized construction materials because of its excellent compressive strength and long-term durability. Despite these advantages, it exhibits poor tensile strength and is prone to cracking, which can reduce its overall structural performance. To address these shortcomings, the inclusion of fibers in concrete has gained significant attention as an effective reinforcement technique. In this study, the effect of Alkali-Resistant (AR) glass fibers on …

A Study on Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregates with Crumb Rubber and Cement with Metakaolin
Abstract: Concrete, often referred to as man-made rock, consists of cement, aggregates, and water. Recent experimental studies have explored the strength characteristics of concrete by partially replacing fine aggregate with crumb rubber and cement with metakaolin. Concrete cubes were tested for compressive strength at 7 and 28 days, using various percentages of crumb rubber and metakaolin as replacements for fine aggregate and cement, respectively. The aim of the study was to …
