Assessment of Depth of Girder of Railway Bridge
Abstract: The depth of a railway bridge girder is primarily determined by the span of the girder. The load exertedon the girder by passing trains induces a bending tendency, which is counteracted by the girder'sthickness or depth. This structural depth is crucial in neutralizing the bending moments and ensuringthe stability and safety of the bridge. Furthermore, the calculated depth or thickness of the girder mustbe validated against permissible deflection limits to …

Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …
