Literature Review on Seismic Analysis of Building Resting on Sloping Ground
Abstract: Over the past 20 years,1.35 million people have been killed by natural hazards, more than half died in earthquakes and the remaining due to weather and climate-related hazards. The poorest nations paid the highest price in terms of the numbers killed per disaster and per 1,300,000 populations. So new advance, ideal and economical techniques should be used for designing and constructing the structures. The study helps us to understand the …

BASE ISOLATION: EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE
Abstract: One of the most effective way of protecting structures against the severe earthquake is the base isolation system. In last few decades base isolation system have gain larger attention as a means in controlling structure failure against seismic hazards. In the base isolation system superstructure is separated from substructure due to which natural frequency of structure gets away from the dominant frequency range of seismic excitation. The effectiveness of an …

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 …

Assessment of Pedestrian Walking Speed Through the Religious Occasions in Iraq
Abstract: The design of safe pedestrian facilities usually depends on assessment of pedestrian characteristics and behavior. In this investigation, pedestrian walking speed through the religious occasion has been monitored at three locations: Al-Kadhimiya (Imam Al-Kadim), Najaf, and Karbala (Imam Al-Husain) holy shrines. Video captures of the pedestrians through their walking to the two holy shrines have been prepared and analyzed for walking speed, gender, age groups, and clothing tradition. The pedestrian …

Flexural Behavior of Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The operational health of the road network is of the utmost importance for economic and social life. Fatigue life is affected by the growth and accumulation of cracks, under the action of repeated vehicular loading, aging and effect of the environment. The flexural behavior of asphalt concrete depends mainly on the flexibility of the pavement mixture which deteriorate gradually with time. Recycling could be a suitable action to reserve such …

Efficient Protective Materials of Columns under Vehicle Collision Loading: A Review
Abstract: Consideration of efficient protective materials in reinforced concrete columns under impact loading are essential in the current scenario. Regular increment in numbers of automobiles generates a risk to public structures, so exploration of most efficient and protective structures to reduce the appropriate deflection and peak impact force takes place. The behaviour of different types of columns like composite columns, reinforced concrete columns and encased columns subjected to impact loading have …

Study on Analysis and Design in Reinforcement Structure Joints of Water Tank Structure for Safety Human life
Abstract: A water tank is used to store water to surge over the daily requirement. In the construction of concrete structure for the storage of water and other liquids the imperviousness of concrete is most essential. The permeability of any uniform and thoroughly compacted concrete of given mix proportions is mainly dependent on water cement ratio. The increase in water cement ratio results in increase in the permeability. The decrease in …

Integrating climate adaptation into asset management planning – Assessing the adaptation potential and opportunities of an urban area in Bangkok
Abstract: Most cities are at risk of climate change related disasters and flood frequencies and impacts are increasing the need for adaptation. Apart from these large scale interventions imposed by the central government, small-scale interventions taken at the neighborhood or household level could further contribute to mitigate future flood risk and to enhance the flood resilience of the city of Bangkok as a whole. Interventions taken at the local scale are …

An Overview on Rain Water Harvesting
Abstract: Abstract: Rainwater harvesting, the limited collection and storage of overflow for flooded agriculture, is recognized as a sustainable strategy for ensuring food security, especially in monsoonal landscapes in the developing world. In south India, these stratagems have been used for millennia to mitigate problems of water scarcity. However, in the past 100 years many traditional rainwater harvesting systems have tumbled into shabbiness due to increasing requirement on groundwater. With raised …

Treatment of Dairy Wastewater Using Constructed Wetland
Abstract: Naturally existing wetlands have been used for dumping various types of wastewaters and have been promised to dispose of these wastewaters. As a matter of fact, in some areas, natural wetlands still serve this purpose solely and are nothing more than dumping sites. However, extensive research suggested the use of Wetlands for Treatment purposes. Understanding the dynamics of the processes in natural wetlands leads to the use of those processes …
