Harvesting and Managing Rainwater
Abstract: Rainfall harvesting, or RWH, is the practice of gathering and holding onto rainfall rather than allowing it to run off. This water is typically gathered from surfaces like rooftops and redirected into tanks, cisterns, wells, aquifers, or reservoirs that allow it to percolate and replenish groundwater. Additionally, dew and fog can be captured using nets or similar devices. Unlike stormwater harvesting, which collects runoff from various surfaces, RWH focuses on …

An Overview: Current Scenario of the Fire Protection in India
Abstract: Fire protection is the practice of avoiding the unwanted effects of destructive fires. The science of fire protection has three major goals: continuity of operations, property protection and life safety. Further, the prime categories of fire protection are prevention, detection and fighting. The fire when occurred is checked by the choice of material and then the fire spreads which is of two levels, which is to restrict or mitigate the …

Digital Twin-Enabled Structural Health Monitoring Framework for Real-Time Damage Detection in Civil Infrastructure
Abstract: Abstract The paper discusses how Digital Twin-enabled Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) restyles civil infrastructure by finding damage in real time, decreasing costs, and increasing safety levels. As opposed to the traditional inspection methods, Digital Twins apply virtual models and sensors to observe structures like bridges, dams, and buildings immediately, which reduces the repair costs by 30–50% and extends the project’s lifespan by 20–30%. This research studies four real-world projects, namely, …

Retrofitting of Existing Building by Concrete Jacketing
Abstract: Seismic Retrofitting is engineered mitigation techniques for structural engineers. It is defined as the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion or soil failures due to earthquakes. It is generally required for earthquake damaged and vulnerable buildings with no exposure to severe earthquakes. Retrofit enhances the structural capabilities of the building. In present time, there are many local and global retrofit techniques in …
