Abstract The high rise structures are setting a trend day in and day out. Today in this era, people are fighting for building up the “tallest” high rise structure and in this fight the role of the structural design engineers comes. The scope of the paper is to understand and analyse the behaviour of high […]
Abstract In the present work, hydraulic modelling is designed so as to prevent the damage or leakage of water distribution networks due to water hammer pressure by maintaining adequate pressure. In water supply systems, water is transported from one unit to another by means of pumping or by gravity or by combined pumping-gravity methods. For […]
Abstract In recent years innovations in technology and increasing demand of materials in construction industry have led to the exploitation of natural resources. Also due to rapid industrialization a huge amount of waste is generated which creates several problem on environment, the safe disposal and reuse of such waste is a major concerned. In this […]
Abstract Slab on grade is a slab directly supported on the soil. Slab on grade is used for construction of industrial floor and rigid pavement. For construction of slab on grade, fibers mainly steel fibers are used with specified doses. Addition of the fiber in the slab on grade improved the ductility and post cracking […]
Abstract This paper presents the case study on 3-dimensional analysis of end block of rectangular post tensioned concrete beam. The end block of post tensioned concrete beam is modelled in finite element based software ANSYS. Concentric prestressing force is applied on two different shapes of plates. A case study is performed in which the loaded […]
Abstract Due to the increasing land pressures the need to demolish old structures to make way for new ones is always going to increase. This leads to proliferation of construction waste and the problems attached to solid and construction waste management. This project aims to make a sustainable use of this construction and demolition waste. […]
Abstract This paper reviews the efforts of United Nations towards the Planning and Implementation of Sustainable Development at all levels of the administration of all nations across the world. The basic concepts of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) and its effectiveness to realize sustainable development of a river basin […]
Abstract This study reviews the mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soil under various Geotechnical problems like bearing capacity failures and the slope stability failures. To obtain a rational solution for any Geotechnical problems, field tests & numerical modelling were performed. Moreover various empirical equations and new innovating methods used to obtained desire parameters required for unambiguous […]
Abstract Water tank structures are of high importance as they act as a storage unit for basic necessity. During disasters it is very important that these do not fail and serve the purpose they are intended for. So it becomes very necessary that water tank is analyzed and designed for seismic and wind forces so […]
Abstract This paper present a case study of dump slope stability of Makardhokra – II open cast mine of western coalfield limited. This mine spread over the area of 289.0 hectares. Dump slope instability is the prime concern of proposed mine site. Depth of Black Cotton Soil is extended up to a depth of 20m […]
