Ensuring Long-Term Durability and Resilience in Concrete Structures
Abstract: Abstract Durable concrete refers to a type of concrete that can effectively resist weathering over a prolongedperiod, maintaining its structural integrity and functionality. Weathering actions include physical,chemical, and environmental factors, such as temperature variations, freeze-thaw cycles, moisture ingress, and exposure to aggressive chemicals. Concrete durability is critical for ensuring the long-term performance and safety of structures. Rainwater, when mixed with air, often contains dissolved gases and chemicals that can penetrate …

Analysis of RC Structure with Shear Walls at Different Locations in Different Seismic Zones
Abstract: As the world moves towards development and transformation, the need for high rise buildings becomes prominent to overcome lack of horizontal land expansion. High rise buildings are often susceptible to lateral forces such as earthquakes and winds as compared to low rise buildings. This accounts for structural engineers to carry out various seismic analysis and implement lateral force resisting systems such as shear walls, braces and moment resisting frames in …

Assessing the Impact of Soil-Structure Interaction on Seismic Performance of Step Back and Set Back Buildings on Sloping Ground
Abstract: When constructing framed structures on sloping ground, either step back or step back and set back configurations are typically adopted. Due to the varying heights of columns towards the slope and the unsymmetrical nature of these buildings, they are subject to large forces such as shear forces, bending moments, torsional moments, and unequal distribution. In the past, it was common practice to assume that structures were fixed at the base, …
