Evaluation of RC Frames in Shifting on Seismic Zone 3 to 5 and Retrofitting Techniques using ETABS
Abstract: The finite element analysis has been carried out on six storey reinforced concrete frames using commercial finite element software ETABS. The performance of six storeys infilled frame failing due to improper design as well as inadequate reinforcements when seismic zone shifting from zone 3 to 5 was studied. The behavior of infilled frame considered in zone 5 was studied and compared with the results obtained from the analysis of frame …

Accidental Torsion in Educational Building due to Random Behavior of Live Load
Abstract: In this paper the shifting of center of mass in an educational building due to random variation in both intensity and position of live load has been calculated. The educational building comprises of various areas which are occupied with different magnitude of live load depending upon their use. These areas are imposed with suitable intensity of imposed load as per IS: 875 and for different positions of these loads the …

Improving Workability and Strength of Concrete using Plantain Liquid as Mineral Admixture
Abstract: The performance of concrete is one that is of great concern both to structural and highway engineers; therefore, there has been a momentum to continuously improve its performance in order to serve the interest of stability and economy. The present research sought was concerned with modification of the property of concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The procedure involved addition in varying amounts 5–25% of plantain liquid as a …

Influence of Ground Motion Duration on the Peak Drift Demands of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Abstract: Previous studies regarding the effect of strong-motion duration on the behavior of reinforced concrete buildings indicate that the findings regarding the influence of strong-motion duration on peak damage indicators are not consistent. Most of the previous studies available are based on two dimensional structural models. The objective of the present study is to further investigate the influence of earthquake strong-motion duration on structural behavior with three-dimensional building models. In this …
