Effect of Nano Clay and Marble Powder Waste as a Hybrid Addition on the Behavior of Normal and High Strength RC Columns Subjected to Axial Compressive Loading
This paper studied the influence of using hybrid additives of Nano Clay (NC) and Marble Powder (MP) on the structural behavior of columns, in terms of ultimate capacity, axial strain, lateral strain, toughness, and failure pattern. For this purpose, ten column specimens were made from reinforced concrete (RC), either normal or high strength, and were…
Read More In-Plane Shear Behavior of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Strengthened with Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
Unreinforced masonry (URM) wall is one of the oldest types of walls used around the world. During earthquakes, URM walls present a real danger to life safety due to their behavior characterized by a brittle failure caused by their feeble shear resistance to in-plane loads, which make their strengthening necessary. Numerous studies had been used…
Read More Shear Strength of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Retrofitted with CFRP
This paper investigates the in plane behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls externally strengthening on both sides by different configurations of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) wraps. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of using the strengthening systems to improve the in plane behavior of masonry walls, the experimental program was conducted by testing…
Read More Seismic Response Modification Factor for Special Concrete Structures Based on Pushover & Non-linear Time History Analyses
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures are able to dissipate a large amount of energy during earthquake (EQ). RC structures designed to resist EQs must have enough strength and stiffness to prevent any possible collapse as well as to control deflection. Seismic codes include the response reduction/modification factor(R) in calculation of equivalent lateral forces used for EQ…
Read More Medium Height Dual Buildings with Masonry and Concrete Walls in High Seismic Areas
This is a comparative study on the behavior of a dual medium height building with different walls solutions, in a high seismic area (Bucharest, Romania). The main feature of those buildings is the placement of load bearing walls on the perimeter of the building. This is done to limit the lateral displacement when the structure…
Read More Forced Vibration Response of Double-Bay Multi-Storey Building Frames with Joints of Infinite Rigidity
This paper studied external-source-excited vibration response of double-bay multi-storey building frames for the effect of joint stiffening on bending moment and joint displacement. One of the frames has normal rigid joints. Three others of the frames have stiffened joints of stiffened lengths: 275mm, 425mm and 775mm respectively. Lumped mass system was the dynamic model adopted.…
Read More Evaluation of Pure Aluminium Inoculated with Varying Grain Sizes of an Agro-waste based Inoculant
Pure Aluminium and its alloy are widely utilized in Engineering and Industrial applications due to certain significant properties such as softness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and high electrical conductivity which it possesses. Addition of an agro-waste based grain refiner to the melt can alter the characteristics positively or negatively. Therefore, the aim of this paper is…
