Literature Review on Seismic Analysis of Building Resting on Sloping Ground
Abstract: Over the past 20 years,1.35 million people have been killed by natural hazards, more than half died in earthquakes and the remaining due to weather and climate-related hazards. The poorest nations paid the highest price in terms of the numbers killed per disaster and per 1,300,000 populations. So new advance, ideal and economical techniques should be used for designing and constructing the structures. The study helps us to understand the …

Analysis and Design of Tapered Web Pre-engineered Building (PEB) Structure for Siesmic Zones
Abstract: The use of PEB instead of a conventional steel building (CSB) design idea resulted in a number of benefits, since the members were designed according to a bending moment diagram, lowering the amount of material required. Because of its high-quality pre-design and prefabrication, as well as its light weight and cost-effectiveness, this methodology is flexible. If we use ordinary steel constructions, the time frame will be longer, and the cost …

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 …

Flexural Behavior of Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: The operational health of the road network is of the utmost importance for economic and social life. Fatigue life is affected by the growth and accumulation of cracks, under the action of repeated vehicular loading, aging and effect of the environment. The flexural behavior of asphalt concrete depends mainly on the flexibility of the pavement mixture which deteriorate gradually with time. Recycling could be a suitable action to reserve such …

Dynamic Behaviour of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge under Moving Loads
Abstract: Composite structure is a structure which is constructed using multiple dissimilar materials. The construction is called composite when two different types of materials are strongly bond together to act as a single unit. For a composite bridge deck a reinforced concrete slab is placed on the steel plate girder to form a complete structure. Use of composite structure has widely grown in the 21st century. This paper gives the brief …

Challenges in implementing an Opportunistic Adaptation approach in Bangkok
Abstract: The 2011 floods should have been a wake-up call for Bangkok, yet the question is what the situation is now, eight years later. Did this disaster cause a change in our attitude to climate change or not? Opportunistic adaptation (OA) is a tool used in urban planning, designed to help stakeholders share a common vision of what/when/where can happen in the future, given uncertain conditions like, e.g., climate change. The …
