Reinforced Concrete was discovered by Joseph Monier. Due to its speed of construction, flexibility, sustainability and easiness to cast, it became the first choice of civil engineers of 19th century. Many RC structures ...

Damage Detection and Structural Health Monitoring has always been of great importance for civil engineers. Vibration based Damage Detection have several advantages compared to Traditional Methods of Non Destructive Evaluation ...

Burnt Brick is a very abundant resource in Pakistan, with Pakistan being the third largest producer in South Asia. Of all the solid waste generated in country, 18% is burnt bricks. The recycling of waste and industrial ...

In this study we used a tuned mass damper (TMD) and a base isolator as vibration control devices for our building structure. TMD is a mass that vibrates in the opposite direction of the structure and reduces the oscillation ...

This study is a continuation of earlier study made on SCP system [25].The project relates to a new concept regarding the prevention of self-desiccation in self-compacting mortar. The concept is based on the use of ...

Concrete‟s compressive strength is dependent on the shape and gradation of both types of aggregate and how strongly the aggregates are bonded together. According to ACI provisions the Fineness modulus (FM) of sand to be ...

Since the discovery of Reinforced Concrete in 1849 by Joseph Monier, due to its flexibility, speed of construction, sustainability, accessibility of raw materials and its easiness to cast, it quickly became the first choice ...

Carbon based nano-materials are quickly becoming the most promising nanomaterials in construction industry because of their unique mechanical and electrical properties. In this research, graphitic nano/micro platelets ...

Concrete like other engineering materials needs to be designed for properties like strength, durability, workability and cohesion. Concrete mix design is the science of deciding relative proportions of ingredients of ...

A lot of research work done in past time to improve the quality of bridge without compromising on the cost by using a same material concrete, steel and sometime wooden. These all are the conventional method for the structural ...
