Potential of Limestone Powder in the Production of Self Compacting Concrete
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a cutting-edge building material. It's a smooth, durable concrete that fills the formwork completely. The SCC needs a lot of powder to perform well (mostly cement). However, increasing the cement content is impractical and may result in greater hydration heat and drying shrinkage. This project studies the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on the fresh and hardened appearances of SCC. To evaluate the samples with and …

Advancing the Strength of Expansive Soil using BioEnzyme and Pond-Ash
Abstract: Expansive soils are problematic and prone to ground movements, which can seriously harm underlying structures and reduce their carrying ability. The expansive nature of soils is activated by moisture fluctuations, causing it to expand and contract. There are many stabilizing chemicals that have been used to treat Black Cotton soil, including lime, cement, and fly ash. Recently, it has become clear that using bio-enzymes to stabilize soil has a lot …

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR AND L-SHAPED COLUMNS SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOAD AND BIAXIAL BENDING
Abstract: Next to rectangular and circular columns, L-shaped columns may be the most frequently encountered reinforced concrete columns, since they can be used as a corner column in framed structures. The behaviour of irregular shaped reinforced concrete columns has been a constant concern for a structural engineer, to design a safe and economic structure in modern buildings and bridge piers. L-shaped reinforced concrete column subjected to biaxial bending and axial compression …

Structural Behavior of Bubble Deck Slab
Abstract: Concrete is dense, and 5% of the world’s CO2 is formed during the manufacture of the cement that goes into it. Then there is the aggregate that is dug out and the trucks that have to carry it. Not only, but the extreme amount of the concrete that is in a slab isn't even desired; it is just a spacer between the bottom, where the reinforcing steel is in tension, …

Finite Element Modeling of RC Beam Column Sub-assemblages Subjected to Column Loss Scenario
Abstract: Progressive collapse is a situation where a failure of whole or large part of a structure occurs that has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any primary structural element. When a vertical load carrying element, typically a column is lost, the loads that are supposed to pass through lost column need to be safely transferred to the adjacent elements to …
