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 …

Analysis of Box Culvert with Different Aspect Ratio
Abstract: Box culverts are the default buried structure type, where pipe solutions are not suitable. Their larger openings are often required to provide adequate hydraulic capacity. Box culverts are also frequently used for pedestrian or cattle underpasses. The reinforcement used in concrete box culverts can be either conventional bar reinforcement or welded wire fabric. Welded wire fabric has yield strength slightly larger than conventional bar reinforcement. Standard designs for precast concrete …

Simulation of delay variation at uncontrolled intersections for mixed traffic conditions
Abstract: Mixed traffic is composed of different vehicle types with varying geometric and acceleration characteristics. Capacity and delay are the two parameters mainly used to measure the effectiveness of uncontrolled intersections. The variation in the lengths and widths of a vehicle type also has an effect on the capacity and delay. Three intersections and three vehicle types are considered for the study. Also, different vehicle compositions scenarios (C1 to C11) were …

EFFECT OF FLY- ASH AND CEMENT ON EXPANSIVE SOIL FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN
Abstract: Out of the many types of soils that prevail on the Earth’s crust Expansive soils are observed to be highly problematic by nature. Particularly under conditions of loading, these soils are highly prone to fail due to shear, crushing or excessive settlement. These factors end up expansive soils as unsuitable soils for any construction. If the strength of the soil is poor, then soil stabilization is duly needed. Stabilization is …

A Prologue Study for Feasibility of Passage for Urban Mass Transit System in Dahod City
Abstract: Economic growth and prosperity of a nation widely depends on cities and towns. These cities and towns generates almost two third of the country’s income and 90% of government revenues, while only one third of India’s total population lives in cities and towns. As India is becoming more urbanized, the economic growth of the nation will be dependent on urban areas. The momentum of economic growth can only be sustained …

Influence of Waste Plastic Dosage on Bituminous Concrete Mix Design Properties
Abstract: Nowadays there is a lot of focus and concern regarding handling waste plastics in order to minimize pollution caused by it to the environment, human life and marine species. Hence to mitigate these problem waste plastics are currently used in the construction of flexible pavements. In the current practices, waste plastics are added to the preheated aggregate which may have a slight improvement in the volumetric property of bituminous mixtures. …

Dynamic Behaviour of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge under Moving Loads
Abstract: Composite structure is a structure which is constructed using multiple dissimilar materials. The construction is called composite when two different types of materials are strongly bond together to act as a single unit. For a composite bridge deck a reinforced concrete slab is placed on the steel plate girder to form a complete structure. Use of composite structure has widely grown in the 21st century. This paper gives the brief …

Analytical study of non-linear dynamic analysis of skew bridge
Abstract: After earthquakes, the function of highway bridges is an important issue. The history of major earthquakes helps in the understanding of the performance of bridges during earthquakes. Many parameters affect the response of skewed highway bridges under both service and seismic loads which makes their behavior complex. However, under certain conditions, it may be necessary to analyze a structure to more accurately predict its structural behavior. The current procedure of …

Economical Size of Over Head Tanks by Height/Diameter Ratio
Abstract: Storage reservoirs and overhead tanks are used for the storage of various products like water, liquid petroleum, petroleum products and similar liquids. The force analysis of the reservoirs or tanks is about the same irrespective of the chemical nature of the product, unless the product is corrosive. For a very high value of H/D, cost of OHT is higher as width of vertical increases due to hoops stress. Similarly, for …

Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …
