Flexure of Thick Fixed Beams Subjected to Varying Load using Shear Deformation Theory
Abstract: A refined shear deformation theory for flexural analysis of thick beams, considering transverse shear deformation effects, is developed. The number of variables as in the first order shear deformation theory is kept in present theory. The important feature of present theory is that the transverse shear stresses can directly be obtained using constitutive relations. The theory does not demand shear correction factors. The principle of virtual work is used to …

Thermally Induced Stresses in Cross-Ply Laminated Plates Using Four Variable Theory
Abstract: A thermal analysis of simply supported isotropic, orthotropic, two layer antisymmetric and three layer symmetric composite laminated plates is presented. A four variable trigonometric shear deformation theory is used. This theory has only four unknown variables as compared to other higher order theories with five or more than five unknown variables. This is a displacement based equivalent single layer theory. The in-plane displacement field of this theory consists of trigonometric …

Enhancing Concrete Durability through Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Recycled Plastic Granules
Abstract: This research study aims to explore and present the practical application of plastic granules as a substitute for coarse aggregate in the production of concrete cubes and cylinders. The concrete specimens, comprising various percentages of plastic granules (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), were manually cast and then subjected to empirical tests to evaluate their split tension and compression strengths. Surprisingly, the study found that the compressive and split …

Analysis of Box Culvert with Different Aspect Ratio
Abstract: Box culverts are the default buried structure type, where pipe solutions are not suitable. Their larger openings are often required to provide adequate hydraulic capacity. Box culverts are also frequently used for pedestrian or cattle underpasses. The reinforcement used in concrete box culverts can be either conventional bar reinforcement or welded wire fabric. Welded wire fabric has yield strength slightly larger than conventional bar reinforcement. Standard designs for precast concrete …
