Abstract: The research work related to retrofitting of building and civil structural elements had been done by many engineers. It is an essential medicine required to be applied for enhancing the structural health of a structural element over a serviceability period of life. In general a beam or slab needs to carry an additional load as the purpose of occupancy has been changed over a period of time for a specified area in a building and it needs to be replaced for a very short difference in its load carrying capacity; in such case the application of the externally bonded Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) wraps can be a remedy or solution over the problem. In present study a detailed investigation on the concrete beam specimens............

Abstract: Precision in mechanical fastening plays a major role in joining of engineering structures. Reliability of the fastening process depends on the hole geometry. With the advent of technology in materials science, hybrid composites are considered materials of great potential for engineering applications. One advantage of hybrid composite materials for the designer is that the properties of a composite can be controlled to a considerable extent by the choice of fibres and matrix. As tool geometry plays a major role in producing a quality hole with minimum damage. Hence it is important to thoroughly investigate the drill bit performance in terms of producing a better hole quality..........

Abstract: A detailed investigation on papercrete specimen of size 100×100×100 mm made with different ingredients like sand, fly ash and glass fiber was carried out after 28 days of air curing. Papercrete is a new construction material made with waste paper, cement and water. Papercrete had been used to build low cost homes without much knowledge of its structural properties. The purpose of this study is to obtain compressive strength and mass density of papercrete by doing some trial mixes of papercrete with different ingredients. From this study it has been observed that the papercrete is a lightweight material and it can be used as an infill material in high rise buildings.

Abstract: The structures are generally constructed on level ground; however, due to scarcity of level grounds the construction activities have been started on sloping grounds. There are two types of configuration of building on sloping ground, the one is step back and the other is step back setback. In this study, G+ 12 storeys RCC building and the ground slope for 200,300 & 400 have been considered for the analysis. A comparison has been made with the building resting on level ground (setback). The modeling and analysis of the building has been done by using structure analysis.............

Abstract: To avoid the economic and environmental lost caused by failing buried pipes, it is a must to predict the mechanical behavior of the soil-pipe system. That is because different stiffness between the pipe and its surrounding soil leads to different deformations. The objective of this research is to correlate deformation and failure of buried pipes with the soil-pipe relative stiffness. To achieve a reliable level of precision, a finite element methods analysis was carried out assisted by the software Abaqus. Different physical and mechanical parameters of both pipe and soil were tested on the FEM software in order to find the desired correlation. When discretizing the soil, an adaptive.............

In this paper, study has been made to examine the influence of the earthquake excitation angle on different types of building. Regular and irregular shape of building with G+9 stories are considered.A set of values from 0 to 90 degrees, with an increment of 10 degrees, have been used for angle of excitation. Building columns have been divided into three categories, including corner, side, and middle..............
