Organisational Structures
Abstract: The development of human society has involved people working together in organised groups to undertake many forms of activity. The emergence of the business organisation in England was triggered by the industrial revolution in where larger industrial approaches to undertaking work replaced the family and cottage industries that had previously been prevalent. A similar pattern was to take place in countries across the globe experiencing industrialisation. In these organisations groups …

Analyze Effect Of Skew Angle On Performance of R.C Girder Bridge Deck
Abstract: Abstract - The performance of reinforced c oncrete (R.C) girder bridge decks is significantly influenced by geometric configurations, among which the skew angle plays a critical role. Skewed bridges are commonly employed to accommodate site constraints, road alignment, and river crossings, but they introduce complex stress distributions, torsional effects, and differential deflections compared to straight bridges. This study investigates the effect of varying skew angles on the structural behavior of …
