Study of Strong-Column Weak-Beam Concept on Seismic Capacity of Buildings of Varying Heights
Abstract: The design philosophy of the strong-column weak-beam (SCWB) in which plastic flexibility is allowedto occur only in beams while the expanded columns are widely accepted in the independentearthquake design codes of steel. Under this method of harvesting, earthquake power is dispersedmainly by plastic hinges on beams and columns. The plastic strength of flexible beams and columnbases can greatly affect the response of the SCWB framework. During the lasting earthquake, theplastic …

Fracture and Failure of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) – A Review
Abstract: In the world, many countries put into effect the renewal plans and/or the laws and/or the regulations for recent engineering structures which have reached their lifetime, are risk prone and have been built lacking quality engineering, or without considering urban planning. Hence, many structures are demolished and this situation increases the amount of construction and demolition waste (C & DW). Also, resource consumptions are rapidly increased due to excessive constructional …

Assessment of Chloride Content in Plaster in Residential Buildings
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of chloride on building as per the age. Concrete samples were collected from buildings of different ages to measure chloride concentration. Findings revealed that chloride content increased with building age, potentially leading to decreased strength and damage. The research identified a significant concern of chloride-induced corrosion in older buildings, as chloride concentration increased with building age. To enhance the durability and safety of aging structures, …

Evaluating the Capabilities of Reinforced Concrete Open Ground Storey Frames Through Nonlinear Static Analysis
Abstract: The lack of infill in multi-story buildings in urban India, particularly on the ground floor or other floors for purposes such as parking or open storefronts, can result in vertical stiffness irregularity and make the structure more vulnerable to earthquakes. The practice of incorporating open first stories in seismic active areas is widely regarded as undesirable due to the risk of building collapse during earthquakes. With advancements in computer technology …

Towards a Geotechnical Input-Based Conceptual Cost Estimating Methodology for Highway Projects
Abstract: The trend in the literature reveals a wide range of innovative approaches which have been proposed to improve the accuracy of conceptual estimates. These techniques are usually based on differing analytical approaches. Although these techniques obtain estimates that closely approximate actual costs, the requisite time and resources to gather sufficient data or obtain relevant information during initial project stages may not be possible. The study proposes that for a road …
