Pushover Analysis of Multistory Reinforced Concrete Building

The standard building codes define the significant design requirements to ensure the safety of buildings in a sudden ground movement causing inertial forces in the building. We witness post earthquake effects in many buildings designed as per these codes. Therefore it is important to analyse the building performance before physically constructing it. The performance based design gives you the choice to check the story drift, displacement at the roof level and the capacity before the building fails for certain ground motions. The performance based design ensures the safety for the Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Collapse prevention for Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE). For performance-based seismic design, the performance levels described in ASCE 41, Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Building (2007), for both structural and non-structural systems are the most Widely-recognized characterizations. These performance levels are Operational Building Performance Level, Immediate Occupancy Building Performance Level, Life Safety Building Performance Level, Collapse Prevention Building Performance Level. Non Linear Pushover Analysis method considers the nonlinear behaviour of the structure which increases the load taking capacity of the building. It also focuses on ductility of the structure by providing plastic hinges. Pushover analysis is applicable to new and existing structures which can be a good method for retrofitting of structures after its design life is over. It considers target displacement and defining objectives whenever the performance meet the objectives then the damage at that performance level is acceptable.

Study on Diagrid Structures with Various Aspect Ratio under the Action of Wind

Multi-storey building construction is increasing day by day throughout the world. The design and construction of artificial infrastructure on the lines of bio-mimicking principles require the development of highly advanced structural system which has the quality of aesthetic expression, structural efficiency and most importantly geometric versatility. Recently, the use of diagonal members for carrying the gravity and lateral load has increased and these members are known as ‘diagrid’. The unique geometrical configuration of the diagrid structural system has led them to be used for tall buildings providing structural efficiency and aesthetic potential. The study done in this paper by considering aspect ratio 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4. Diagrid angles 33.69°, 53.13°, 63.43°, and 69.44° for G+60 story building. The behaviour of structure under the action of wind load is studied. Also optimum angle for the prepared diagrid models will be studied. Software that will be used is ETABS 2015.

Experimental Investigation on Ferro-Cement with and Without Using Fibers

Ferro-cement is made up of combination of cement mortar and multiple layers mesh which is closely spaced. It is widely used due to its advantage from its some of behaviour such as mechanical properties and impact strength. The main aim of this project is to investigate the strength of characteristics of Ferro-cement with and without using fiber. Also compare the strength of Ferro-cement with using three different types of fiber such as, polypropylene, polyester and synthetic fibers. Mechanical test were performed to check the effect of fibers on improving compressive and flexural/bending strength in Ferro-cement. Since fiber is act as secondary reinforcement, it will prevent Ferro-cement from micro cracking and propagation crack growth and increases the strength.

Identity Crisis in V. S. Naipau the House of Mr. Biswas

This paper focus on voice and identity in V.S Naipaul “The house of Mr.Biswas” This paper deals with the man struggle to make something valuable.it is a struggle projected by the heroic effort to own is dream house, which in the way to own his own life. Plot of the story is that lone man struggle to free from oppressive force of his in-laws and failing health . Naipaul has also convey that the struggles faces by the man actually mold him to reach his dream. Mr.biswas mostly lives in a series of houses that either do not belong to him or are houses unworthy of the name. Each of the houses he lived is a attempt of solving a problem and each is a wrong answer in a different way . Author projected the character of Mr.Biswas as smart and funny but also often petulant , mean and unsympathetic. Mr. Biswas enemy , who are mostly is relatives are largely unlikable , but they also have admirable moments. A house for Mr.Biswas is 1961 novel published by V.s Naipaul , this is the first work of Naipaul to receive the positive critics and acclaim worldwide . Naipaul also drawn simple elements form the life of his father and he also potrayed the struggle faced by him

Review of Cognitive Spectrum Sensing Of Secondary User by Soft Computing

Subjective Radio innovation is being used to give a system for using the range more beneficially, range detecting is crucial to this application. The limit of Cognitive Radio frameworks to get the opportunity to spare zones of the radio range and to keep watching the range to ensure that the Cognitive Radio framework does not cause any undue obstacle depends completely on the range detecting parts of the framework. For the general framework to work suitably and to give the required change in range effectiveness, the Cognitive Radio range detecting framework must have the ability to enough recognize some different transmissions, perceive what they are and teach the central get ready unit inside the Cognitive Radio with the objective that the required move can be made.

Flame Retardant Luffa Fiber Reinforced Composites with Epoxy Resin Matrices

In current years composites have concerned considerable importance as a potential operational material. Low cost, light weights, high specific modulus, renewability and biodegradability are the most basic & common attractive features of composites that make them useful for industrial applications. Luffa- cylindrica locally called as “sponge-gourd” is one such natural resource whose potential as fiber reinforcement in polymer composite has not been explored till date for tribological applications. In this research twin layer fiber and triple layer fiber composites are prepared and were tested to study thermal properties.
