Varying Lateral Stiffness and Improve Response Using FRP Retrofitting of RC Structures Under Seismic Excitation

Ahmed Ali Akbar Phambra (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2018)

R.C structures have a certain age after which they are not safe to use. They deteriorate over time and become unsuitable for the purpose they were built for. R.C structures could be in the form of beams, columns, footings, ...
TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF SOFT STOREY TO LATERAL STIFFNESS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES UNDER SEISMIC EXCITATION

Atif Mehmood Khan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2018)

Reinforced Concrete was discovered by Joseph Monier. Due to its speed of construction, flexibility, sustainability and easiness to cast, it became the first choice of civil engineers of 19th century. Many RC structures ...
TO STUDY AND IMPROVE THE BEHAVIOR OF FLAT PLATE AND FLAT SLAB UNDER SEISMIC EXCITATION

Muhammad Moiez Mushtaq (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2018)

Pakistan is still striving for improvements in construction industry. Major construction in private sector is carried out as non-engineered; there are very few projects that are properly designed for gravity and lateral ...
SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION OF A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

TALHA YOUSAF SANDHU (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2018)

Damage Detection and Structural Health Monitoring has always been of great importance for civil engineers. Vibration based Damage Detection have several advantages compared to Traditional Methods of Non Destructive Evaluation ...
INCORPORATION OF PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL IN LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE FOR PASSIVE BUILDING APPLICATIONS

Syed Hamza Ali Shah (NICE-SCEE, 2018)

Materials possessing structural as well as thermal properties are one of directions of the sustainable constructions. Phase change materials (PCMs) are the latent thermal storage materials that has the capacity to store ...
DEVELOPMENT OF ECO-EFFICIENT SELF COMPACTING CEMENTITIOUS SYSTEM VIA SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF WASTE BURNT BRICK POWDER MODIFIED THROUGH HYDRATED LIME

MATIULLAH SHAH (NICE-SCEE, 2018)

Burnt Brick is a very abundant resource in Pakistan, with Pakistan being the third largest producer in South Asia. Of all the solid waste generated in country, 18% is burnt bricks. The recycling of waste and industrial ...
DEVELOPING SELF HEALING AND SELF SENSING MULTIPURPOSE SMART GROUT MODIFIED WITH NANO GRAPHITIC INSERTIONS

Ajlal Arif (NICE-SCEE, 2018)
DESIGN OF PASSIVE VIBRATION CONTROL DEVICES FOR A MULTI-STOREY BUILDING UNDER SEISMIC LOADING.

Muhammad Irfan (NICE-SCEE, 2018)

In this study we used a tuned mass damper (TMD) and a base isolator as vibration control devices for our building structure. TMD is a mass that vibrates in the opposite direction of the structure and reduces the oscillation ...
A REPLACEMENT OF FIBER CEMENT BOARD BY LIGHT WEIGHT MORTAR IN LIGHT GAUGE STEEL STRUCTURES

Muneeb Bajwa (NICE-SCEE, 2018)

This study was focused on making a locally available replacement of Fiber cement board (FCB) cladding in light gauge steel structure construction. The problems in using fiber cement board were high cost due to import and ...
USE OF SUPER ABSORBENT POLYMERS (SAPs) IN SELF COMPACTING MORTAR SYSTEMS (SCMs)

Ali Asghar Hilal (NICE-SCEE, 2017)

This study is a continuation of earlier study made on SCP system [25].The project relates to a new concept regarding the prevention of self-desiccation in self-compacting mortar. The concept is based on the use of ...
USE OF GREEN MATERIALS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Aizaz Mazhar (NICE-SCEE, 2017)

Rice Husk Ash was selected as a green material. Two types of RHA were considered and one of them was selected for this study. The RHA was characterized and its effect on the properties of cement, especially strength and ...
TO DEVELOP CONCRETE MIX BY USING SAND OF FINENESS MODULUS LESS THAN 2.4

Saad Ali Khan (NICE-SCEE, 2017)

Concrete‟s compressive strength is dependent on the shape and gradation of both types of aggregate and how strongly the aggregates are bonded together. According to ACI provisions the Fineness modulus (FM) of sand to be ...
Synthesis & Characterization of Bio-Influenced Nano/Micro-Particles for the Feasibility Investigation of Self-Healing Concrete

Habib Murtaza (NICE-SCEE, 2017)

Bacteria-based self-healing concrete can be made more efficient by using immobilization techniques; hence shielding the bacteria from crushing during mixing to remain dormant till the development of concrete cracks for ...
SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF AN RCC FRAME STRUCTURE WITH DIFFERENT SHEAR WALL ARRANGEMENTS

Munib Qasim Zia (NICE-SCEE, 2017)

Since the discovery of Reinforced Concrete in 1849 by Joseph Monier, due to its flexibility, speed of construction, sustainability, accessibility of raw materials and its easiness to cast, it quickly became the first choice ...
