Assessment of Chloride Content in Plaster in Residential Buildings
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of chloride on building as per the age. Concrete samples were collected from buildings of different ages to measure chloride concentration. Findings revealed that chloride content increased with building age, potentially leading to decreased strength and damage. The research identified a significant concern of chloride-induced corrosion in older buildings, as chloride concentration increased with building age. To enhance the durability and safety of aging structures, …

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BI ANGLE SHAPED SQUARE FOOTING UNDER TWO WAY ECCENTRIC LOADING
Abstract: Footing subjected to eccentric loading along two mutually perpendicular axes is quite a common field problem. Due to this bearing capacity is reduced considerably as the effective size is drastically reduced. A footing may be subjected to two-way eccentricity due to many reasons. In the case of footing subjected to one-way eccentricity the common practice is to match the centre of gravity of column loads to centre of gravity of …

Seismic Behavior of Soft Storey Building with Static and Dynamic Earthquake Loading
Abstract: Soft first storey is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey constructions in urban India. Though multi-storied buildings with soft storey floor are inherently vulnerable to collapse due to earthquake, their construction is still widespread in the developing like India. Functional and Social need to provide car parking space at ground level and for offices open stories at different level of structure far out-weighs the warning against such buildings from …

Literature Review on Seismic Analysis of Building Resting on Sloping Ground
Abstract: Over the past 20 years,1.35 million people have been killed by natural hazards, more than half died in earthquakes and the remaining due to weather and climate-related hazards. The poorest nations paid the highest price in terms of the numbers killed per disaster and per 1,300,000 populations. So new advance, ideal and economical techniques should be used for designing and constructing the structures. The study helps us to understand the …

Cost Impact of Structural Irregularities
Abstract: Since absolute regularity is an idealisation that seldom exists, building structures are typically irregular. Building irregularities are unavoidable because of the many practical and aesthetic benefits. The performance of buildings subjected to earthquake pressures has revealed that asymmetric and irregular constructions produce more severe damage than regular structures, and the collapse of these structures may be blamed for the majority of human fatalities. Vertical mass inconsistency is commonly due to …
