Nine edge slab-column specimens were tested to investigate the effects on high strength concrete columns, due to presence of ordinary strength floor concrete layer in between the columns. The 30’’ long columns had a floor ...
This research had the purpose of demonstrating the axial compressive behavior shown by GRFC columns by making a total of five circular columns (with height and cross section of 1150mm and 250mm respectively) and having ...
Earth has been used for thousands of years for the purpose of construction. Even today about 30% of the world population lives in earthen buildings. The main type of earthen construction material is brick. Fired bricks are ...
Bridge structure allows people or vehicles to cross an obstacle such as a river or canal or railway line etc. Among all the impermanent loads on bridge structure, the most frequent one is a vehicular live load. It plays a ...
Concrete is the most widely employed construction material on the planet, however, its production
requires vast amounts of natural resources. The waste management of solar modules waste is an
emerging challenge. The ...
In today’s world, development of infrastructure is an essential component of countries progress and prosperity. A major concern regarding this construction is development of Micro and Macro cracks. These cracks allow water ...
This study focuses on the estimation of modal properties (natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratio) and model updating of a turbine foundation structure, located at Guddu, Pakistan. Sources of excitations are ...
The ratio of production of waste glass annually throughout the world is around millions of tons. After transformation to waste, waste glass powder is usually dumped as landfill which is undesirable, as they are not ...
Pakistan is a developing country with a extensive range of design and construction practices, which
needs to evolve its own strategies for seismic hazard evaluation. The last two decade have pointed
our shortcoming in ...
Modern architectural requirements have given birth to an increased complexity
in the shapes and configurations of building structures. The need to quantify behavior of
these complex shapes in a structure gave birth to a ...
Making concrete more sustainable is the aim of modern research, and it is why there is a significant utilization of waste materials in concrete. When it comes to sustainable concrete, it is the ultimate goal to minimize ...
Masonry is one of the oldest and widely used construction material across the globe due to its cost efficiency, but it is vulnerable to lateral loads. The assessment of masonry structures is of dire need for restoration, ...
Concrete's ingredients, cement, coarse and fine aggregates, are consumed in large quantities due
to the world's ever-increasing demand for it. This puts strain on the cement industry, while
coarse and fine aggregate ...
In the subject of water resources management, the accuracy of the flood routing model is critical. The output hydrograph provides vital information for the decision support system at the chosen location as a consequence ...
This paper proposes a simplified rigid-plastic model for determining the dynamic response of skeletal structures under blast loading. The proposed numerical formalism is an extension of the previously developed model of ...
In developing countries, often during construction, rapid modifications are required in designs to fulfil the demands of the strength of the structure to make it structurally safe and sound. Because of the increasing ...
In past, structural stability remained a crucial topic, many stability problems and areas have been investigated in recent years, yet there exist several important stability problems that need extra consideration. The ...
Analysis design and modeling of a multistory structure is a design-oriented project. The aim of this project was Structural design and detailing of multi-story residential/commercial building using essential civil engineering ...
