Abstract: The major concern in the design of multistoriedtall steel building is to have good buckling load resisting system along with gravity load system because it also governs the design. This paper is presented to show the effect of different types of bracing systems in multistoried tall steel buildings on buckling behavior of the structure under different soil condition. For this purpose, multi storey steel building models without and with different bracing systems such as Diagonal, X bracing, inverted'V' bracing and K bracing system under different soil condition. A commercial software package ETABS is used for the analysis of steel buildings and different parameters are compared with buckling factors. The property of the section is used as per IS 800:2007 which incorporates Limit State Design philosophy.

Abstract: Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, commonly a non-rotary tool bit, exhibits a helical path on work piece material. The conventional metal removal process always influenced by the parameters such as, material machinability, cutting tool material, cutting speed and spindle speed, depth of cut, feed rate, tool geometry, and coolant. Optimizing these parameters is a daedal thing so that, Signal to noise (S/N), Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Taguchi method using statistical software MINITAB are striving to solve these problems in the present scenario. The present paper is aimed at investigating parametric optimization of turning of 7075 Aluminium alloy using Taguchi L27 orthogonal array was employed for both Design of Experiment (DOE) and Signal to noise ratio (S/N) to analyze the effects of the selected parameters. The result demonstrates there are different effects of cutting parameters on cutting force, surface roughness and temperature for two samples and compared the samples...........

Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using three types of coarse aggregates (gravel, basalt and dolomite) and three different percentages of water and cement on the properties of self-compacting concrete. To this end, nine mixes containing different percentages of water and cement were designed. Three types of aggregates were used namely; gravel, basalt, and dolomite. The all fresh concrete mixes were prepared to achieve standard workability (slump flow). The compression, splitting tensile, and flexural strength tests were carried out on hardened self-compacting concretes after 28 days. In the nine mixes, three types of aggregates (gravel, basalt and dolomite), three cement content (350, 400, and 450 kg/m³), and three water cement ratio (0.46, 0.42, and 0.38) were used...........

Abstract: The concrete structures are often exposed to damaged as a result of several factors including, environment, design, and other factors, and because of the high cost and long time needed for reconstruction of the damaged buildings, it become necessary to consider techniques for rehabilitation of the damaged structural members in the building. 12 reinforced concrete beams (2200x200x150 mm) were cast and tested under point load at mid-span to limit the failure. Several techniques for repairing the damaged beams are carried out in the present work. Ferrocement composite, steel plate, fiber carbon reinforced polymer (FCRP), nano cement composite, and the injection of the developed nano cement mortar are considered.

Abstract: The usage of Portland cement in the process of concrete construction is under critical supervision due to release of enormous amount of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere during the production of cement. In recent times, an attempt has been made to enhance the utilization of silica fume in order to replace Portland cement partially in the concrete. Thus, Geopolymer concrete is considered to be the new material that does not require the presence of Portland cement as a binder. Instead, the source of the materials like Silica Fume that are rich in Silicon is activated by alkaline liquids in order to produce the binder. Hence, the resultant concrete will be free from Portland cement. This paper mainly presents the details of development of the process of making silica fume-based geopolymer concrete in order to avoid Portland cement partially.

Abstract: An attempt has been made in this investigation to develop natural fibers reinforced polymer composites using rice husk and fly ash as reinforcements. The content of rice husk is varied (10, 15 and 20 weight percentages) whereas the fly ash percentage is kept constant at 5 % in epoxy matrix. Composites have been fabricated using hand layup technique using a suitable die developed in house. All the samples have been tested in Universal Testing Machine as per standard for tensile strength and flexural strength. The hardness and water absorption tests were also carried out. It is observed that composite with 10% rice husk is having highest tensile strength of 33 MPa. Similarly the flexure modulus for 10 % rice husk composite was 4881 MPa. The impact strength of composite with 20 % rice husk was highest..........

Abstract: Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a novel ground improvement method to increase strength and stiffness of sand using natural biogeochemical processes. This paper describes the application of MICP in slope improvement. A strip footing was tested in a laboratory by conducting a model load test on sand slope of 1.5H: 1V. The slope was treated by injecting bacteria (S. Pasteurii) and cementation solution (CaCl2 + Urea) at 2M concentration in a grid pattern of 100 mm x 100 mm. These slopes were allowed to cure for the incubation period of 14 and 28 days. The load tests were conducted for three locations of footing on edges at a distance measured from slope crest as 0B, B and 2B. The results indicated that the bearing capacity of footing on slope increased significantly after MICP treatment. The bearing capacity of slopes cured for 28 days was found to be maximum.
