Study of Self-healing Biomimetic materials and their roles in repairing building cracks in Warm and Humid climate in India
Abstract: The plant and the animal kingdom have an intrinsic property through which they have the ability of self-healing themselves to survive against any injuries or defects. Self-healing biomimetic materials are those that have been inspired by this self-repairing property of Nature and they tend to incorporate natural elements in the material itself that ultimately leads to more sustainable and even regenerative buildings. In this paper, the different types of self-healing …

Investigation of Seismic Pounding Effect on Symmetric 10 Storey Reinforced Concrete Buildings Using SAP2000
Abstract: ABSTRACT Earthquakes have historically been responsible for significant structural failures, often resulting in substantial economic losses and endangering human lives. One notable failure mechanism observed during seismic activity is seismic pounding, which occurs when adjacent buildings collide due to insufficient separation gaps. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in densely populated urban areas where space constraints often prevent the provision of adequate clearances between structures. Such impacts can lead to severe …
