Seismic Analysis of Office Building with Prestressed Flat
High rise building structures are both a necessity and a matter of sophistication and pride for structural engineers. Buildings crossing 25 to 30 storeys are a common phenomenon these days. But what happens to a structure as it crosses these height limits? Forces of nature in the form of earthquakes and cyclones starts playing brutal games with the structures. Higher the structure goes, higher it attracts the forces and wrath of nature in the form of seismic force. Seismic force, predominantly being an inertia force depends on the mass of the structure. As the mass of the structure increases the seismic forces also increase causing the requirement of even heavier sections to counter that heavy forces. And these heavy sections further increase the mass of the structure leading to even heavier seismic forces. Structural designers are met with huge challenge to balance these contradictory physical phenomena to make the structure safe. The structure no more can afford to be rigid. This introduces the concept of ductility. The structures are made ductile, allowing it yield in order to dissipate the seismic forces. A framed structure can be easily made ductile by properly detailing of the reinforcement. But again, as the building height goes beyond a certain limit, these framed structure sections (columns) gets larger and larger to the extent that they are no more practically feasible in a structure. A flat slab is a one-way or two-way system with thickenings in the slab at the columns and load bearing walls called ‘drop panels’. Drop panels act as T-beams over the supports. They increase the shear capacity and the stiffness of the floor system under vertical loads, thus increasing the economical span range.

They increase the shear capacity and the stiffness of the floor system under vertical loads, thus increasing the economical span range. Here an attempt has been made to study the behaviour of different structures of reinforced concrete with different prestressed systems. Studies have been carried out on sample model structures and analysis has been carried out by ETABS software. It has been ensured to consider sample models that represent the current practices in structural design to include different structural configurations

Overview of Regulatory Guidelines for Medical Devices
Medical devices are becoming more important in the health care unit. Diversity and intricacy of medical devices in last two decades. Regulation of these devices has also advanced due to the requirement for a steady regulatory perspective. One of the major issues for companies developing and producing medical devices is to be updated on the regulatory requirements and implement them in the process. This thesis examines the regulatory requirements for medical devices in Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Russia, MENA countries and compares them with the requirements in the European Union. The conclusion of this thesis is that most countries have similar requirements for registration of medical devices and are striving to harmonize with the GHTF guidelines. Now with the availability of different regulations of the countries or region on medical devices, there is a need to harmonize regulations in order to curtail regulatory hurdles and expedite access to high quality, safe and efficacious medical devices. Most countries are trying to harmonize the regulatory guidelines for medical devices through their participation in Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF). Harmonized regulation of medical device will lead to the availability of quality product.

Comparison and Analysis of Multistoried R.C.C Building in Different Seismic Zones
The principle objective of this project is to analyses and design a multistoried building [G + 21 (3 dimensional frame)] using STAAD Pro. And comparing the results on basis of 1. Economic 2. Difference in material requirement 3. Degree of stability under different seismic zones 4. Level of supervision of construction 5. Requirement of special tool and equipment Therefore the four requirements named as 1. Utility 2. Safety 3. economical 4. elegance Must be fulfilled for a structural design to be satisfactory. This project presents a comparative study on design a multistoried RCC building in different seismic zones in India by limit state method. The design involves load calculations manually and analysing the whole structure by STAAD Pro.Based on Limit State Design conforming to Indian Standard Code of Practice IS: 456, IS: 1893, IS: 13920, IS: 875.The structure was subjected to self-weight, dead load, live load, wind load and seismic loads. Under the load case details of STAAD.Pro. The wind load values were generated by software considering the given wind intensities at different heights and strictly abiding by the specifications of IS 875. Seismic load calculations were done following IS 1893-2005. The materials were specified and cross-sections of the beam and column members were assigned. The supports at the base of the structure were also specified as fixed. The codes of practice to be followed were also specified for design purpose with other important details. After completion of the design, we can work on the structure and study the bending moment and shear force values with the generated diagrams. We may also check the deflection of various members under the given loading combinations. The design of the building is dependent upon the minimum requirements as prescribed in the Indian Standard Codes. The minimum requirements pertaining to the structural safety of buildings are being covered by way of laying down minimum design loads which have to be assumed for dead loads, imposed loads, and other external loads, the structure would be required to bear. Strict conformity to loading standards recommended in this code, it is hoped, will ensure the structural safety of the buildings which are being designed. Structure and structural elements were normally designed by Limit State Method.
