Thermo-elastic flexural analysis of cross-ply laminated beams
Abstract: The present paper is concerned with the thermal analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric cross ply laminated beams subjected to temperature distribution across the thickness of laminated beam. A higher order shear deformation theory is used. The displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate is expanded up to cubic term to have a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains and transverse shear stresses. This avoids the need of shear correction …

Effect of Shear Wall on Seismic Performance of High Rise Building Adopting Linear Dynamic Analysis
Abstract: Earlier, the buildings were designed for only dead loads not for the seismic loads. But, as the populations go on increasing and there is limited space available for living. So now a day we raise the height of the structures, as height is increases different parameters affects the structure like seismic loads and wind loads. Seismic force is a lateral horizontal force acting on throughout the height of the building. …

Evaluation of Rutting Susceptibility of Bituminous Mixes Using Finite Element Modeling
Abstract: Pavement performance mainly depends on the quality of bituminous mixes. Poor bituminous mixes cause premature failures such as rutting or permanent deformation, cracking, bleeding etc. The design of bituminous mixes should contain certain criteria to prevent premature failures. The mixes designed based on these criteria are generally known as performance based mix design and are gaining popularity in the recent times. Among various types of pavement failures, permanent deformation or …

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 …

Comparative Assessment of Tensile and Shear Behavior of Cold, Warm and Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The environment awareness of toxic gases emissions during the production, transportation, and construction of hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) have led to the development of Warm, half warm, and cold mix asphalt concrete. Such development of alternative mixtures is considered as sustainable materials in asphalt concrete paving process. The temperature reduction in the mixing of binder during production, handling, and compaction of the mix results in saving energy, reduction of …

Technological options for the treatment of pulp and paper waste water
Abstract: Waste-water treatment is becoming even more important in the light of diminishing water resources, increasing industrial, domestic and agriculture water usage and consequently waste-water disposal and its costs along with stricter discharge regulations that have lowered permissible contaminant levels in waste streams. The treatment of waste-water for reuse and disposal is particularly important for water scarce states like Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and other states in India where water availability is highly …
