BASE ISOLATION: EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUE
Abstract: One of the most effective way of protecting structures against the severe earthquake is the base isolation system. In last few decades base isolation system have gain larger attention as a means in controlling structure failure against seismic hazards. In the base isolation system superstructure is separated from substructure due to which natural frequency of structure gets away from the dominant frequency range of seismic excitation. The effectiveness of an …

Thermo-elastic flexural analysis of cross-ply laminated beams
Abstract: The present paper is concerned with the thermal analysis of symmetric and antisymmetric cross ply laminated beams subjected to temperature distribution across the thickness of laminated beam. A higher order shear deformation theory is used. The displacement field in terms of thickness coordinate is expanded up to cubic term to have a quadratic variation of the transverse shear strains and transverse shear stresses. This avoids the need of shear correction …

Finite Element Modeling of RC Beam Column Sub-assemblages Subjected to Column Loss Scenario
Abstract: Progressive collapse is a situation where a failure of whole or large part of a structure occurs that has been initiated by failure of a relatively small part of the structure such as failure of any primary structural element. When a vertical load carrying element, typically a column is lost, the loads that are supposed to pass through lost column need to be safely transferred to the adjacent elements to …

Prediction of Circular Frequency of Precast Concrete Piles with Distributed Mass by Resonance Moment–Displacement Approach
Abstract: This paper presents the results of circular natural frequency of single piles from critical buckling load by resonance moment-displacement approach. The support end conditions considered are pinned-pinned, fixed-fixed, and fixed-pinned respectively. It was assumed that resonance moment occurs when the bending moment diagram is made equal to zero at the supports while the resonance displacement is the sum total deflections resulting from the system reduction to an equivalent pinned-pinned system. …

Field Investigation on the Use of Mobile Phone While Driving
Abstract: While talking through mobile phone, drivers are much less aware of what is happening on the road around them; fail to see road signs, maintain proper lane position and steady speed; react more slowly and take longer to brake. Moreover, drivers are more likely to enter unsafe gaps in traffic, feel more stressed and frustrated, and are more likely to tailgate the vehicle in front. This paper demonstrates field investigation …
