A Comparative Study of the Wind Load Effect on High-Rise Buildings
Abstract: Tall buildings are going up all over the world, so it increases the importance of design for wind-inducedbuilding motion. Tall structures that comply with lateral drift requirements specified in building codescan still experience significant swaying under strong wind conditions. Severe wind-related disasters inIndia and the United States have highlighted the fact that many existing buildings are not entirely wind-resistant. This underscores the need to reevaluate and enhance the computational techniques …

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of RCC Beams Undergoing Four-Point Bending Tests: A Parametric Study of Acoustic Emission (AE) Techniques
Abstract: Reinforced concrete is a composite material where tensile reinforcement is added to increase its tensilestrength since plain concrete is weak in tension. Reinforced concrete has far more complicated behaviorthan plain concrete. This is due to the microstructural changes in concrete as well as the interactionand link between concrete and steel. Micro-cracking of concrete and steel yielding are the two mostcommon failure mechanisms in reinforced concrete. Reinforced cement concrete is a …

Symbolism in Coptic Architecture: The Power of ‘Meaning’ in Architectural Expression
Abstract: New trends in architecture tend to pursue to duplicate the positive, pleasant effects of historical buildings, away from direct copying from their form or their style. By addressing human cognition to try to decode their meanings, symbols, which were traditionally seen as a sacred language, were used in religious buildings to establish a visual discourse with the worshipers. This paper aims at analyzing the patterns symbolic language in Coptic architecture, …

Assessing Accessibility in Residential Neighbourhoods of Colonial Towns: Case of Little Europe, West Bengal, India
Abstract: Bengal has a strong connection with the history of colonization in the Indian subcontinent. It was witness to commercial forays by East India Companies (EIC) set up by a number of European powers. The four colonial towns of Serampore, Chandernagore, Chinsurah and Bandel set up by the Dutch, French, Danes and Portuguese EICs have recently been designated as “Little Europe” by the Government of West Bengal. These towns, representing the …

Bacterial Diversity of Decomposing Leaf Litters of Polyalthia longifolia (Sonner.) Thw. and Rhododendron arboreum Sm. Under Natural Condition
Abstract: The role of microorganisms in the decomposition of plant material is of immense importance. A large amount of plant litter is added annually to the soil through leaf fall and death of plants. As the plant materials fall on the ground, they are immediately attacked by various groups of soil microorganisms and soon after, the process of decomposition is initiated. Microorganisms being heterotrophic in their mode of nutrition are responsible …
