Title	:	Response Spectrum Analysis of Response of Building with Setbacks
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ajay Singh Gulshan || Poonam Dhiman

Abstract: The past earthquakes have shown catastrophic effect on the buildings with irregularities. It was seen that the buildings with irregularities are more prone to earthquake then the regular building. The structure with irregularities are called irregular structures. Irregularities in a building can be due to the uneven distribution of mass, stiffness and geometry of the structure......

Abstract: Utilization of bulk quantity of Industrial waste produced globally is a serious concern in today's era. Nearly 75% of India's total installed power generation is from thermal power station which is 90% coal based, producing tremendous quantity of fly ash as well as pond ash, which requires a large area to dispose off. The bulk utilization of fly ash is only possible by the way of geotechnical application such as embankment construction, backfill material and sub base material.....
