    Live load models representing truck traffic are the governing factors for the design of bridges. The live load effects on bridges depend on Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), span of bridge, axle spacing/number, vehicular occupancy, ...
  • Response of Self-Compacting Cementitous Systems Using Wood Sawdust 
    Asfand Yar Khan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2017)
    It’s no surprise that preventive measures to matters of resource reduction and global pollution are the prime aspects if not the main objective of most of the researches. The construction industry is no exception to that ...
  • Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Wide Beams 
    Muhammad Shehzad Hassan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    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 ...
  • Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of RC Structures Using Incremental Dynamic Analysis 
    Uzma Iqbal (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    In most of the developing countries, where major portion of the existing building stock belongs to the era when seismic codes were not implemented, a thorough seismic vulnerability assessment is necessary. As the representative ...

  • Concrete Column Confinement Using CFRP and Expanding Grout 
    Sabba Afzal (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    During the past earthquakes in Pakistan many existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures were destroyed due to the inadequacy of proper seismic design. It is found that the main failure of columns was due to insufficient ...
  • Towards Energy Efficient Design and Sustainable Buildings 
    Umaid Bin Mansoor (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    With the ever increasing energy consumption around the globe, not only fossil fuels are being depleted but environment is also getting worse as a result of pollution. This increase in energy usage and consumption is leading ...
  • Shear Behaviour of Ordinary Strength RC Slender Beams 
    Asad Mehmood (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    To avoid abrupt shear failure, ACI 318 – 08 specifies the requirements for the minimum amount of shear reinforcement for Reinforced Concrete Beams. Minimum amount of shear reinforcement corresponds to a value that restrains ...
  • Shear Behaviour of Ordinary Strength RC Slender Beams 
    Zakawat Ali (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2016)
    Shear reinforcement in Reinforced concrete beams depends upon various parameters such as longitudinal steel ratio, aggregate type, strength of concrete, size of beam and types of loading. These factors are not fully ...
