Pakistan is located on an earthquake prone area and old bridges were designed without any seismic provision. In the years (2005), tremors were felt in Pakistan due to the strong earthquakes at Kashmir, which highlight the ...

A proposal for determining effective concrete strength within the slab column joint when there is a considerable difference in strength of slab and column is made in this study. The concept is based on simple theory of ...

Concrete being the most widely used material in civil engineering for infrastructural development. The improvement and further development of this material has always been on tips of civil engineers in their research ...

This thesis presents the effect of Soil Structure Interaction on dynamic behavior of an unreinforced braced masonry structure under railway traffic vibrations which is never studied before. For this purpose, an instrumented ...

Being light in weight, cold-formed steel shear wall panels made with light gauge steel are extensively used in residential and office buildings (low to mid-rise), particularly in structures under seismic loadings. These ...

Researchers have a concern that normal beam design procedures are not fully applicable to RC wide beams. Many studies have been conducted on RC wide beams and researchers have diverse results regarding shear strength of ...

As concrete is of brittle nature, different materials have been used to improve this inherent behavior of concrete. This research studies the effects of use of steel fibers and confinement simultaneously on high strength ...

Managing concrete scraps and agricultural wastes are major concerns of the society. They are causing climate change and obstruction to sustainability. In this scenario, engineering maintainable concretes and recycling of ...

High strength, durability and low cost make concrete one of the most used construction material in the world. In the service life span of cementitious composites, the generation of cracks is inevitable. These micro level ...
