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 ...
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 ...
This study aims to design a multifunctional cement composite that can bear loads and possess electromechanical properties by integrating structural health monitoring (S.H.M.) systems within the concrete. Traditionally, ...
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 ...
Inspired and benefited by its controllable and field-dependent stiffness/damping properties,
there has been an increasing research and development on magnetorheological elastomer
(MRE) for mitigation of unwanted structural ...
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 ...
Retrofitting techniques become a very important structural strengthening method when we encounter variations in the design loading type due to client requirements, in case of poor construction practices due to the absence ...
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 ...
As the world is moving towards sustainability the goal was to make sustainable concrete and for this purpose, The recycled aggregate was used as an alternative to natural aggregate and an optimum quantity was taken and ...
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 ...
This thesis presents innovation to make a combined substitution of cement with calcined clay and limestone powder in order to prepare the Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). The aim was to overall assess the performance ...
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 ...
Bricks one the most commonly used construction material employed. This is because of its manufacturing convenience and economy. Having said that, it does have its disadvantages, one of the biggest being its contribution ...
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. ...
In the recent years, due to increase in population, construction demand has increased and the trend is still rising. Nearly 10% of all carbon emissions come from construction industry. Concrete is a fundamental material ...
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 ...
