Delhi – The name is enough to tell anything about tourism, adventure, entertainment, photography etc. Delhi has everything else you could possibly imagine. It has something for everyone. People from Delhi are generally known as DELHITES. Delhi has something for everyone like for shopping and Hangouts, the city has a number of markets and entertainment complexes like Karol Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, Connaught Place, Hauz Khas etc. Transportation Delhi has significant reliance on its transport infrastructure
engineering that deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, or public works, as they are related to earth, water, or civilization and their processes. 1.2 REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES Concrete is arguably the most important building material, playing a part in all building structures. Its virtue is its versatility, i.e. its ability to be moulded to take up the shapes required for the various structural forms. It is also very durable and fire resistant when specification and
No building structure on this planet is earthquake proof, only its resistance to earthquakes can increase. Numerous studies have been conducted on earthquake resistant constructions to minimize damage when an earthquake occurs. But what is an earthquake? According to United States Geological Survey (n.d.), Earthquake happens when two blocks of earth suddenly collide from one another resulting to ground shaking and radiated seismic energy and it is caused by volcanic activity and earth’s sudden stress
analysis and damage valuation methodology of partially collapsed structures. The purpose of these expansions is to increase the safety of people in structures subjected to unusual loads. The developed analytical methods will support engineers to predict the type and range of probable progressive collapse in both the proposal stage and after existences. This is the main reason to connect a progressive collapse analysis with a structure identification procedure. This combined approach will be effective
chandurkar, Dr. P.S. Pajgade.(2013) In this paper we can study that the seismic design of buildings, RC structural shear walls act as a major earthquake resisting members. The properties of these types of shear walls are dominate the response of buildings, therefore it is important to evaluate seismic response of walls. In present study to determine the solution for shear wall location in multistory of buildings. The effectiveness of shear walls can be studied with the
essential element in many seismic evaluations is the determination of ultimate inelastic response of the structure. Performance-based methods require reasonable estimates of inelastic deformations or damages in structures which are better quantities to assess damage than the stresses or forces. The performance based analysis is based on quantifying the deformation of the members and the building as a whole, under the lateral forces of an earthquake of a certain level of seismic hazard. Existing codes
Ground floor construction Recommended The selection and compaction of fill under buildings is very important because, if done incorrectly, it could cause serious damage to the structure. When selecting the fill it is important to follow the practical guidelines on what type of soil you can use. The ideal filling is clean granular soil such as crushed rock, gravel or sand. The practical guideline stats that filling must be granulate, it must contain no organic substances such as wood and it should
Sanpaolo Office Building is situated on the edge of a historic town centre and is close to the Porta Susa Station. The location is of strategic importance and the Intesa Sanpaolo is surrounded by public services and facilities. The building occupies a site with the adjoining Nicola Grosa garden that has been upgraded to a playful space with lawns and became neighbourhood friendly. The entrance hall of the Intesa Sanpaolo building has an access into the garden on the ground floor. The building has been
complete destruction of the immense buildings had left everyone in shock. Due to that event there is a global speculation based on what was the main reason for the towers to plummet down. According the article "Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? Science, Engineering, and Speculation” by Thomas W. Eagar and Christopher Musso , states the towers collapse due to the insufficient structure of the building,the fire temperature/melting steel, and the way how the building collapse. In the article it mentions
vertical plate like RC wall in reinforced concrete building, called SHEAR WALL. Walls of the building are continuous throughout the height and generally start at foundation level. Shear walls acts a vertical oriented wide beams which carry earthquake loads downward to the foundation. Shear walls are provided along both length & width of building. Their thickness can be as minimum as 150mm or as maximum as 400mm in high rise building. Most RC building has columns with shear walls. These columns & shear
