Prediction of Circular Frequency of Precast Concrete Piles with Distributed Mass by Resonance Moment–Displacement Approach
Abstract: This paper presents the results of circular natural frequency of single piles from critical buckling load by resonance moment-displacement approach. The support end conditions considered are pinned-pinned, fixed-fixed, and fixed-pinned respectively. It was assumed that resonance moment occurs when the bending moment diagram is made equal to zero at the supports while the resonance displacement is the sum total deflections resulting from the system reduction to an equivalent pinned-pinned system. …

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 …

Enhancing Concrete Durability through Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Recycled Plastic Granules
Abstract: This research study aims to explore and present the practical application of plastic granules as a substitute for coarse aggregate in the production of concrete cubes and cylinders. The concrete specimens, comprising various percentages of plastic granules (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), were manually cast and then subjected to empirical tests to evaluate their split tension and compression strengths. Surprisingly, the study found that the compressive and split …

Effect of Aggregate Shape and Binder on the Rutting Characteristics of Bituminous Mixes
Abstract: Rutting or permanent deformation is the depression in the wheel paths due to accumulation of small amounts of unrecoverable strains under the channelized repeated wheel loads. Shear deformation or lateral plastic flow of the bituminous mix from the wheel tracks also results in rutting. Performance of bituminous mixes is influenced by the constituents of the mix made of aggregates and binder. Among various parameters of these two ingredients, aggregate shape …
