Pakistan is seismic active region and quality of construction is low. Terrorism is a major issue although it is being controlled now a days, but we must prepare for such unforeseen circumstances. The loss of one or more ...

The aim of this project was to research and devise a structural configuration of lightweight sandwich panels, which would offer a solution for rapid and economical residential construction in Pakistan. The first phase ...

People looking for software to solve linear elastic problems in structures face myriad challenges. The graphical user interface of the available software – such as ETABs – has a steep learning curve. If someone wants quick ...

The mechanical properties and characteristics of the ground on which the structure is based can remarkably influence the structural response. However, in current general design office practice, the effect of soil is neglected ...

The Airport infrastructure including approach runways, taxiways, and aprons is the most important and extremely sensitive target to be attacked by the enemy during warfare. Damage to airfield pavements from sophisticated ...

In recent years we have seen the alarming conditions of depleting resources. The conventional means of energy production used all around the world have had adverse effects on the environment and continue to do so. Seeing ...

Visual inspections are the initiating procedures for any structural health assessment method. In civil engineering structures, visual inspections have become more challenging because of the massiveness of the structures. ...

This thesis states the outcomes of an experimental study aimed to compare alkali silica reaction’s (ASR) mechanism by evaluating its damage in conventional concrete and geopolymer concrete. Geopolymer mortar specimens were ...

For past few years, there has been unceasing upsurge of research to cope with the cracks in extensively used construction material known as concrete. Self-healing of concrete using microbes has shown sustainability and ...

Civil Engineering structures comprise the bridges and buildings, and most of them are constructed using reinforced concrete. However, due to various factors like change in traffic density, environmental effects, and ...
