Study the Behavior of Geometric Non-Linearity in High- Rise Building
Abstract: Generally, in any analysis method adopted in the construction industries it should be useful for the stability, economy and strength point of view. For such structures the different analysis method is adopted based on the requirement of the building. From which the structure loads and other loads are coming over the structure are calculated and applied over foundation. But in practical execution the method of working is a little bit …

Intersections between Architecture and Culture and Heritage Management
Abstract: Architecture and culture are deeply interconnected, with each influencing and reflecting the other over time. Buildings are more than physical structures; they represent the beliefs, traditions, values, and lifestyles of the communities that create them. As societies evolve, architecture becomes a living record of their social, political, economic, and technological development. At the same time, cultural heritage management plays a crucial role in protecting and preserving these architectural assets, ensuring …

Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of RC Frame Considering SSI Effect: A Review
Abstract: It is the need of modern era to go for the safe, reliable and economic structure design with special reference to seismic response of the structure. The classical methods which are based on elastic analysis are not able to predict the structural behaviour under the seismic forces. On the other hand the Pushover Analysis (POA) gives more reliable results. The POA is a static –nonlinear analysis. In this method the …

Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR AND L-SHAPED COLUMNS SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOAD AND BIAXIAL BENDING
Abstract: Next to rectangular and circular columns, L-shaped columns may be the most frequently encountered reinforced concrete columns, since they can be used as a corner column in framed structures. The behaviour of irregular shaped reinforced concrete columns has been a constant concern for a structural engineer, to design a safe and economic structure in modern buildings and bridge piers. L-shaped reinforced concrete column subjected to biaxial bending and axial compression …

BEHAVIORAL STUDY OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BUILDINGS DURING MAINSHOCK–AFTERSHOCK EARTHQUAKES
Abstract: ABSTRACT - Earthquakes are among most destructive natural hazards, often causing widespread damage to buildings and vital infrastructure. The extent of this damage depends on various factors, one of which is the nature of fault movement. The point of initial rupture beneath the Earth’s surface is known as the hypocenter or focus. Seismic activity can be broadly divided into two categories: mainshocks and aftershocks. While the mainshock generally causes the …

BY USING ETABS ANALYSIS OF LATERAL RESISTANCE SYSTEM TO REDUCING THE DISPLACEMENT IN MULTISTOREY BUILDING
Abstract: It is usually a good idea to build a huge building to make better use of the land Recycled concrete is predominantly employed in both workplaces and homes. However, tall structures are susceptible to collapse, especially when subjected to seismic activities and wind vibrations. The structure is subjected to high tension and displacement of lateral forces and can withstand vertical forces with adequate stiffness for horizontal forces. The stability of …

Concrete Quality Evaluation Using Non-destructive Test
Abstract: This paper analyses the non-destructive testing (NDT) measurements used to assess on site strength and condition of reinforced concrete. To ascertain the residual strength of concrete, extent of corrosion, it is imperative to assess the health of the RC structural members of a building using State-of-the-art non-destructive testing (NDT). NDT of concrete structure is carried out in order to assess the health of structure without impairment of its desirable properties. …

To Study the Effects of EL & WL on RC Structure in Various Seismic Zones and Soil Types
Abstract: Nowadays, earthquakes are a phenomenon that has an impact on the structural safety andserviceability. The degree of damage caused by an earthquake to structures is determined bythe type of building, the type of soil, the technology utilised for earthquake protection, and,last but not least, the location of the building. The effects of an earthquake are heavilydependent on the type of soil in which the foundation of a building is built, …

MODAL ANALYSIS OF CONVENTIONAL RCC STRUCTURE WITH STEEL BRACING
Abstract: It is a well-known fact that high rise reinforced structures are vulnerable to lateral loadings from things like earthquake and wind stresses. Bracing systems have the excellent benefit of adding just a tiny amount of bulk to the structure while significantly enhancing its performance. Building modelling is done both with and without a bracing system in this study. Analysis that is both linear and dynamic is being done. The structure …
