Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Subjected to Eccentric Load
Abstract: Reinforced soil bed is improved soil strata from its weak unreinforced original form. By introducing reinforcing ties or strips the soil bed improves on its strength and is rendered less settleable. The compensations of introducing reinforcements have been widely studied by many researchers. The present work has evaluations, formulations and calculations for bearing capacity under certain seismic excitation when the strip footing on reinforced soil was subjected to eccentric loading. …

Steepening Pit Walls- Geotechnical and Economic Implications
Abstract: Current approach to pit-wall analysis tends to separate designs into distinct categories. The first consideration involves analysis of slope in which discontinuities actively participate in the failure mobilization. The second involves design analysis of non-structural controls which could results in a wide range of failure mechanisms. The third and the least sought for approach is the economic assessment of the slope design which could render optimized pit slope and the …

Dynamic Response of Bridges and its Effect on Soil Medium
Abstract: The analysis of dynamic behaviour of bridge structures that are subjected to moving loads has been one of the research benefits in recent years. Specifically in railway bridges, resonance ensues when the load frequency is equal to a multiple of natural frequency of the structure. Resonance vibrations have been practical in railway bridges, especially subjected to high-speed lines. They are caused primarily because of two reasons: one is the repeated …

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 …

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 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 …
