Potential of Limestone Powder in the Production of Self Compacting Concrete
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a cutting-edge building material. It's a smooth, durable concrete that fills the formwork completely. The SCC needs a lot of powder to perform well (mostly cement). However, increasing the cement content is impractical and may result in greater hydration heat and drying shrinkage. This project studies the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on the fresh and hardened appearances of SCC. To evaluate the samples with and …

Behaviour of Micropiles Groups Subjected to Vertical Loads
Abstract: Micropiles are used to reinforce soils and to support foundations. It may be installed in several directions through existing foundations so as to increase the bearing capacity of the soil and to reduce the settlement. The group effects of micropile groups subjected to vertical loads in granular soils have been investigated by many research workers. However the findings have been found to be inconsistent indicating contradictory group effects. Group behaviour …

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 …

Flexure of Thick Fixed Beams Subjected to Varying Load using Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A refined shear deformation theory for flexural analysis of thick beams, considering transverse shear deformation effects, is developed. The number of variables as in the first order shear deformation theory is kept in present theory. The important feature of present theory is that the transverse shear stresses can directly be obtained using constitutive relations. The theory does not demand shear correction factors. The principle of virtual work is used to …
