ANALYTICAL STUDY OF SEISMIC RESPONSE OF DOUBLE TOWER BUILDING ON A COMMON PODIUM
Abstract: Abstract The recent surge in global population, particularly in urban areas, has led to a significant rise in the demand for tall buildings structures featuring multiple towers on a shared podium. Such complex configurations often result in intricate interactions between towers and podium structures, particularly under lateral loads induced by earthquakes. One of the critical structural behaviours observed in such systems is the backstay effect, which arises due to discontinuities …

A Comparative Environmental Analysis of Traditional and Concrete Construction Methods in Urban India: Statistical Insights into Carbon Footprints, Resource Consumption, and Waste Generation
Abstract: Significant effects on the environment and climate change have resulted from India’s shift from traditional building techniques to the growth of concrete jungles. Traditional structures used passive cooling, cross-ventilation, and the thoughtful use of courtyards and open spaces. They were made from natural materials that were sourced locally, such as clay, wood, stone, and thatch. Because they were made to use as little energy as possible, encourage natural temperature regulation, …

Wettability of carbon fibers with resin matrices from dynamic contact angle measurements
Abstract: Wettability is the property that quantifies the propensity of a solid surface (carbon fiber) to be covered by a liquid (resin). For a wettable solid, the solid-liquid contact is favoured and as a result the liquid spreads on such surface of the solid. Spreading of the liquid on the solid surface is primarily driven by the adhesive forces between the liquid and the solid, while the inter molecular cohesive forces …
