Structural assessment of RCC buildings by using Pushover Analysis

Shear wall is one of lateral resisting structure which is used commonly. Shear wall gives high stiffness to the structure so as the structure will be stable. This will reduce the destruction that comes from lateral loads such as an earthquake. Earlier studies showed that shear wall gives different performance based on its position in structures. The study focuses to see the effect of shear wall location in multi-storied building. A residential building of G+12 Storey structure having base dimension of plan 13.5m X 10.5m with typical floor height of 3m is considered. In this study 13 storied building was modeled using software and four different cases were studied with different location of shear wall in building frame for critical parameters like displacement and base shear under lateral loading. The analysis has been carried out using the software SAP2000 for analysis equivalent static method and non-linear static analysis method is used here. Four types of models (one without any shear wall, shear wall at 3 periphery sides of lift, shear wall at middle along periphery of structure, shear wall at Corner along periphery of structure in L shape) have been analyzed. It is found from this study that Model 3 shows best performance.

Vehicle accident and alert with datalog system

Now-a-days lot of accidents happen on highways due to increase in traffic and also due to rash driving of the drivers of the vehicle. Vehicle accident and alert with data log system presents review on the accident detection techniques and future possibilities in this field. And in such situations like that the family members or the ambulance and police authority is not informed in time. This results in delaying the help reached to the person suffered due to accident on the roads. Road accidents plays the major part of the accidents in our world . The purpose is to find the vehicle where it is located by means of sending a message using a system which is placed inside of vehicle system and ambulance. The message is sent to police station and authorized family member. Using radio frequency method ,We can find the nearest ambulance. We can also save the accident data information in the cloud for later access for our use. Our vehicle accident and alert with data log system with GPS and GSM is designed to avoid such situations

Research Paper

A study to assess the anxiety related to the onset of labour and delivery among primigravida mothers admitted for delivery at Kamla Nehru hospital Shimla.

Background and Objectives: The health of the nation is often judged by the health of mothers and infants. In all societies, family is the central nucleus of people and women form the backbone of it. Thus mothers play an indispensable role in the health of any nation. Anxiety is common in life, it is more among Primigravida mothers during labour and delivery. The objectives of the study are to assess the anxiety related to the onset of labour and delivery among primigravida mothers and to determine the association between the level of anxiety with selected variables. Methods and materials : The descriptive survey approach and descriptive exploratory survey design was used. By purposive sampling technique, 100 Primigravida mothers were selected in the clean labour ward at Kamla Nehru State Hospital, Shimla. The tool consisted of 63 items to assess the level of anxiety. The reliability was established by conducting a pilot r = (0.948). The data was collected and analyzed. Results: Majority 50% of respondent are in the age group of 20-25 years and 42% of the respondent had studied upto high school which is the highest. 100% among them of respondent were married and income was between Rs. 5000 and above (63%), 99% of respondent are Hindus and emerge from nuclear family background (61%), 71% of respondent live in rural area and seek support through elders and relatives (44%), 80.5% of mothers had anxiety related to family aspects. Interpretation and Conclusion: Overall findings showed that there is no significant association found between educations, employment status, religion, type of family and type of marriage with the level of anxiety to onset of labour. The result on aspect wise reveals that the mean anxiety was higher than family aspect 80.5%, compared to physical aspect 41.47%, social aspect 33.67% and psychological aspect 45.98.

Research Paper

A descriptive study to assess the general wellbeing and psychological distress of leprosy patients in selected leprosy centre at Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital, shimla (H.P.) India.

Background of the study: Throughout its history, leprosy has been feared and misunderstood. For long time leprosy was thought to be a hereditary disease, a curse, or a punishment from God. Before and even after the discovery of its biological cause, leprosy patients were stigmatized and shunned. For example, in Europe during the Middle Ages, leprosy sufferers had to wear special clothing, ring bells to warn others that they were close, and even walk on a particular side of the road, depending on the direction of the wind. Problem statement: A Descriptive Study to Assess the General Wellbeing & Psychological Distress of Leprosy Patients in Selected Leprosy Centre, I.G.M.C.Shimla,(H.P). Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the general well being of the leprosy patients, to assess the psychological distress of leprosy patients, to find the association between general well being and psychological distress with their selected demographic variables. Materials and methods: A Quantitative approach and non-experimental descriptive design was adopted to accomplish the main objectives of the study. The study was conducted in leprosy center, I.G.M.C.Shimla. The target population of the study was all leprosy patients of leprosy center, I.G.M.C.Shimla. The total sample size was 100 leprosy patients selected by convenient sampling technique, The tool was constructed to assess the general well being & psychological distress of leprosy patients. Analysis and interpretation: Most of the patients (78%) had some well-being risks. The majority of the patients (71%) had moderate psychological distress. The highest general well being was in the physical domain and the least well being was in social domain among leprosy patients. Conclusion: Type of family, duration of suffering from illness, had significant association with the general well-being and psychological distress.

Experimental investigation on performance analysis of dual-axis solar tracker

This paper presents the experimental investigation on the performance of dual-axis Solar Tracker. The main objective of the project is to generate an optimal level of electrical energy through the solar panels. The solar tracker is a device that tracks the density of sun rays and ensuring that the maximum amount of sunlight strikes the panel. The power output from the solar panel is maximum when it is facing 90 degrees. The major components used for this project are Arduino, DC motor, light-dependent resistors (LDR), solar panel. The active Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) continuously monitors the sunlight and rotate the panel towards the direction where the intensity of the sunlight is maximum. These light sensors also compare the darkness and cloudy and sunny conditions assisting daily tracking. The designed tracker can track the sun’s apparent position at different months and seasons. The device is able to simulate the sun’s tracking of 12 months within a few minutes thus, implementing automatic mechanisms in the tracking system.

Comparitive study on self cleaning property of Activated charcoal supported Bi2O3−ZnO with other coupled semiconductor oxide nanocomposites

The development of active semiconductor oxide nanomaterials creates a vital role in catalytic effective materials. Here we compare the self-cleaning property of Activated charcoal supported Bi2O3 – ZnO (AC−BZ) nanocomposites with other Photocatalytic nanocomposites of CdWO4 −ZnO and Pr6O11 − Zn. This study has been evaluated using contact angle measurement and our results give some new vision on the performance of coupled semiconductor oxide nanomaterials on an environmental basis.
