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 …

Production of Compositionally Modulated Nanolayer Zn–Ni Alloy Coatings and Their Corrosion Behaviours
Abstract: Compositionally modulated nanolayer alloy (CNA) coatings of Zn–Ni having alternatively the same compositions have been developed galvanostatically on mild steel from single bath technique (SBT) using square current pulses. Sulphanilic acid and citric acid (CA) were used as additives. Modulation in the composition of alloys were introduced by passing a different switched cathode current densities (SCCD’S) using sophisticated power sources. Variety of CNA coatings was developed under different conditions of …

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 …

STEGANALYSIS OF LSB INSERTION METHOD IN UNCOMMPRESSED IMAGES USING MATLAB
Abstract: In this paper we have explained steganalytic tool to detect presence of the hidden message in LSB steganography. It is the process of hiding secret information in cover image. Here we have used the LSB insertion method using discrete algorithms. Steganographic programs use Least Significant Bit (LSB) embedding as method of choice for message hiding 24-bit, 8-bit color images and grayscale images. It is commonly understood that changes to LSB …

Comparison of Three Interpolation in OFDM Systems
Abstract: Doppler shift and channel induced fading effects are more likely to induce inter carrier interferences (ICI), which are the challenging research area in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). This paper uses channel estimation for canceling the effects of ICI from the received signals. One dimensional frequency domain comb-type channel estimation are considered because of its low computational complexity and effective tracking ability of the fast fading channel. The channel …

Vacuum Dewatering During Concreting: Modern Construction Method
Abstract: In the RCC construction, water–cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water–cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical reaction which is generated in cement and water, water–cement ratio of less than 0.38, whereas the adopted water–cement ratio is much more than that mainly because of the requirement of workability. After the requirement …

Study of Shear Strength Behaviour of Soil With Kaolinite Mixture
Abstract: An experimental testing program was undertaken for evaluating the effect of kaolinite on the strength properties of locally available sand and soil. Strength depends principally upon the content of (1) water, (2) clastic materials and (3) plastic materials. Soils are primarily of two types (1) cohesionless soils in which the strength this produced mainly by the friction of clastic particles against one another, and (2) cohesive soils in which the …
