Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

PUNCHING SHEAR RESISTANCE OF FLAT SLABS WITH OPENINGIAEME Publication
There are numbers of methods have been proposed to evaluate the influence from opening on punching shear resistance in flat slabs in the vicinity of columns. In the present paper, the aims are going to compile this state of review on the evaluation of the predicted punching shear strength. A total of 79 tested slabs without shear reinforcement were selected from literature to study the treatments by these methods. The comparisons from their failure loads comparing to their reference specimens without opening shows that the punching shear resistance is inversely proportional to the opening size, location and distance to the face of the related columns.

Pushover analysis of rc frame structure with floating column and soft story i...eSAT Journals
Abstract Open first story and Floating column are typical features in the modern multi-storey constructions in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in buildings built in seismically active areas; this has been verified in numerous experiences of strong shaking during the past earthquakes like Bhuj 2001. In this study an attempt is made to reveal the effects of floating column & soft story in different earthquake zones by seismic analysis. For this purpose Push over analysis is adopted because this analysis will yield performance level of building for design capacity (displacement) carried out up to failure, it helps determination of collapse load and ductility capacity of the structure. To achieve this objective, three RC bare frame structures with G+4, G+9, G+15 stories respectively will be analysed and compared the base force and displacement of RC bare frame structure with G+4, G+9, G+15 stories in different earthquake zones like Rajkot, Jamnagar and Bhuj using SAP 2000 14 analysis package.

A parametric study of x and v bracing industrial steel structureeSAT Journals
Abstract Severe earthquakes have an extremely low probability of occurrence during a structures life. If the earthquakes to be resisted by the structure elastically, it would require an expensive lateral load resisting system, which is not warranty. The structure may lose its aesthetic and functionality due to minor tremors and needs repairs; it will be a very unfavourable design. In addition to earthquake forces there may be wind or any vibrations which induce lateral loads in a structure. In our work we have taken only the earthquake load to find a system which balances the lateral loads and minimizes the displacements of the floors. With the literature review, it was founded that bracing in a structural system reduces the story drift and reduces the lateral force effect. To examine the performance of the bracings, bracing types like X and V bracings are considered and an analysis is performed in ETABS software. The results are studied, discussed and concluded for the best bracing system among both in our project. Keywords: Bracings, Time – History method

Abstract When a tall building is subjected to lateral or torsional deflections under the action of seismicloads, the resulting oscillatory movement can induce a wide range of responses in the building’s occupants.[1]As a result, lateral stiffness is a major consideration in the design of tall buildings. Bracing is a highly efficient and economical method of resisting lateral forces in a frame structure. In this present study, the effect of four different types of bracing systems have been studied, for the use in SMRF RC framed building situated in seismic zone IV, in order to provide lateral stiffness and results in terms of storey shears and storey drifts have been presented.

Analysis of Parabolic Shell by Different Models Using Software SAP 2000ijtsrd
The shell structure consists of a thin reinforced concrete shell without the use of internal columns to create an internal opening., parabolic or spherical cross section. On the other hand, warehouses and playgrounds are conventional concrete frame structures, on the other hand, they can be difficult to design as the exact shape required for the stability of the structure depends on the material used, the dimensions of the enclosure, external or internal loads and other chamfers.. .. Thus, by changing the shell parameter, the performance of the shell will also change. The main goal of this work is to parametrically analyze different designs of cylindrical shells of different lengths in order to analyze two different lengths of taken cylindrical shells, and then change two parameters, first the radius and then the thickness, based on the radii. and the difference in thickness for the same width, length and material of the frame, we will evaluate the behavior of the frame for different models.

Design study of stressed mirror polishing (smp) fixtureeSAT Journals
Abstract
Stressed Mirror Polishing (SMP) is a technique developed for the fabrication of off-axis aspheric mirror segments in a rapid and
cost effective manner. In SMP, the polishing of the mirror is carried out along with specific loads which are capable of deforming
a spherical mirror into any desired aspherical shape and thus reducing the difficulty of aspheric mirror polishing. When the blank
is removed from SMP after spherical polish and metrology, the blank will relax to the required aspherical surface with-in desired
PV & RMS surface figure accuracies. This paper discusses the different FEM approaches that can be adopted for simulating the
deformations in the mirror blank. For preliminary study purpose, a 36-cm diameter off-axis, meniscus shaped parabolic roundel
and a Spherical roundel mirror blanks are taken and required deformations are achieved through various FEM approaches. The
net deformed surface is validated and compared with a best fit near spherical surface. Additionally the reversibility of the
technique is also proved with-in required Surface accuracies. It is felt necessary that these preliminary simulations should form
the basis in understanding the warping process and their locations, so that full SMP fixture can be designed which is capable of
warping the mirrors.

Dynamic Response of High Rise Structures Under The Influence of Shear WallsIJERA Editor
This study presents the procedure for seismic performance estimation of high-rise buildings based on a concept of the capacity spectrum method. In 3D analytical model of thirty storied buildings have been generated for symmetric buildings Models and analyzed using structural analysis tool ETABS. The analytical model of the building includes all important components that influence the mass, strength, stiffness and deformability of the structure. To study the effect of concrete core wall & shear wall at different positions during earthquake, seismic analysis using both linear static, linear dynamic and non-linear static procedure has been performed. The deflections at each storey level has been compared by performing Equivalent static, response spectrum method as well as pushover method has also been performed to determine capacity, demand and performance level of the considered building models. From the below studies it has been observed that non-linear pushover analysis provide good estimate of global as well as local inelastic deformation demands and also reveals design weakness that may remain hidden in an elastic analysis and also the performance level of the structure. Storey drifts are found within the limit as specified by code (IS: 1893-2002) in Equivalent static, linear dynamic & non-linear static analysis.

A study on seismic performance of high rise irregular rc framed buildingseSAT Journals
Abstract Earthquakes are known as one of the most unpredictable and devastating of all natural disasters, however the unpredictable nature of occurrence of these earthquakes makes it difficult to prevent loss of human lives and destruction of properties, if the structures are not designed to resist such earthquake forces. In this paper attempt has been made to study two types of plan irregularities namely diaphragm discontinuity and re-entrant corners in the frame structure. These irregularities are created as per clause 7.1 of IS 1893:2002(part1) code. Various irregular models were considered having diaphragm discontinuity and re-entrant corners which were analysed using ETABS to determine the seismic response of the building. The models were analysed using static and dynamic methods, parameters considered being displacement, base shear and fundamental natural period. From the present study the model which is most susceptible to failure under very severe seismic zone is found, modelling and analysis is carried out using ETABS. Keywords: Diaphragm, re-entrant, static, dynamic.
Parametric study on slender column for flat plate structureeSAT Journals
Abstract This paper deals with effect of slender column on flat plate structure. The column is called slender if the height of is increased for functional purpose. The study is conducted on 18 flat-plate reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structural models. Among these18 models, 54 columns at three different locations (i.e. corner, edge and inner columns) are chosen for study. The models are developed using ETABS Software. Parametric study is performed by considering six different height of column ranging from 3048 mm to 6858 mm, using an increment of 762 mm along with three slab panels of size 4572 mm x 4572 mm, 6096 mm x6096 mm and 7620 mm x 7620 mm with five panels in both ways, considering both gravity and environmental load. The effect of slenderness ratio on load carrying capacity, design load and steel ratio is considered along with this the effect of additional moment due to slender compression member is also taken into account. It is observed that, columns in flat-plate structures are generally very sensitive if they are slender. It is observed that as the column length increases from 5502 mm and further, the steel ratio suddenly increases and it exceeds maximum allowed. As slenderness ratio increases, ratio of design load to the critical buckling load increases. Also resulting in increase of additional moment, decreasing load carrying capacity of column. This forces the design engineer to study effect of different parameter of the structure while designing high rise flat plate structure. Keywords: Flat Plate Structure, ETABS, Slenderness, Environmental load, design load and buckling load.

Steel bracing has proven to be one of the most effective systems in resisting lateral loads. Although its use to upgrade the lateral load capacity of existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames has been the subject of numerous studies, guidelines for its use in newly constructed RC frames still need to be developed. In this paper the study reveals that seismic performance of moment resisting RC frames with different patterns of bracing system. The three different types of bracings were used i.e. X - bracing system, V - bracing system and Inverted V - bracing system. This arrangement helped in reducing the structural response (i.e. displacement, interstorey drift, Shear Forces & Bending Moments) of the designed building structure. An (G+6) storey building was modelled and designed as per the code provisions of IS-1893:2002. And linear analysis is been carried out in the global X direction. The analysis was conducted with a view of accessing the seismic elastic performance of the building structure.

Punching Shear Strength of High Strength Fibre Reinforced Concrete SlabsIJMER
The experimental study of punching shear behavior of High Strength fiber reinforced
concrete slabs is carried out in the present work. Each of 24 square slabs was simply supported along
four edges and loaded to failure under a concentrated load over a square area at the center. The test
parameters were the effective span to depth aid ratio, volume fraction of 3 types of steel fibers, slab
thickness h, concrete strength fck, and size of load-bearing plate r. Test results indicate that the loaddeflection
curve of slabs exhibits four distinct regions that may be characterized by first cracking, steel
yielding, and ultimate load. Within the scope of the test program, an increase in the values of pf, h, or r
was found to lead to an increase in both the punching shear strength and the ductility of the slab. The
ultimate punching shear strength of the slabs was compared with the predictions of equations available
in the literature and code equations for reinforced concrete.
Seismic vulnerability of flat plate column joint with out slab shear reinforc...eSAT Journals
Abstract During an earthquake, a brittle punching failure can arise in flat plate-column connections due to poor transfer capacity of shearing forces and unbalanced moments. To increase the shear capacity of the slab, various types of shear reinforcement can be used in the slab around the connection. The aim of the project is to study the response of slab column connections containing without slab shear reinforcement when subjected to combined gravity and cyclic lateral loading. At first a calibration model was developed to simulate the tested flat plate-column joint using finite element analysis program MASA. This model was used to predict the load displacement behaviour. The predicted behaviour was compared with the observed behaviour as reported by James Lee & Ian Robertson (Ref.4). The comparison showed that the model predicts the load level excellently but significantly over estimates the stiffness of the joint compared to that observed by James Lee & Ian Robertson. Since the present study is to compare the relative behaviour of slab-column joints provided without slab shear reinforcement, the error in the estimation of joint stiffness will not alter the comparative conclusions drawn. Thus, the developed model was validated for application to various types of column slab connection behaviour. Keywords: Flat plate, slab column joint, punching shear, Drift and cyclic lateral loading

Fe investigation of semi circular curved beam subjected to out-of-plane loadeSAT Journals
Abstract Curved beams are used as machine or structural members in many applications. Based on application of load they can be classified into two categories. Curved beams subjected to In-Plane loads are more familiar and are used for crane hooks, C-clamps etc. The other categories of curved beams are the ones that are subjected to out-of-plane loads. They find applications in automobile universal joints, raider arms and many civil structures etc.The results of this research on semicircular curved beam subjected to out-of-plane loads have revealed some interesting results. For semicircular curved beams subjected to out-of-plane loads, it is shown that every section is subjected to a combination of transverse shear force, bending moment and twisting moment. By using ANSYS tool it is shown that Maximum principal stress occurs at section 120 degrees from the section containing the loading line. Moreover it is observed that fixed end of this curved beam is subjected to a state of pure shear. Key Words: Semi circular curved beam, Stress in curved beam, Out-of-plane load, FE analysis.
Performance based seismic evaluation of G+3 RC buildings with openings in inf...AM Publications
The RC frame structures with infill walls are frequently used in multistoreyed buildings in recent past. Window and
door openings are inevitable part of the infill walls. The presence of openings in infill walls considerably reduces the lateral
strength and stiffness of RC frames. In the present study two-dimensional four storeyed reinforced concrete (RC) building
models are considered with different sizes of openings (15%, 25%, and 35%). Bare frame and soft storey buildings are modeled
considering special moment resisting frame (SMRF) for medium soil profile under zone III. Concrete block infill walls are
modelled as pin-jointed single equivalent diagonal strut. Pushover analysis is carried out for both default and user defined
hinge properties as per FEMA 440 guidelines using SAP2000 software. Results of default and user defined hinge properties
are studied by pushover analysis. The results of ductility ratio, safety ratio, global stiffness, and hinge status at performance
point are compared with the models. Authors conclude that as the percentage of openings increases, vulnerability increases in
the infill walls. Earthquake code procedure should be considered during the design of the structure. User defined hinge models
are more successful in capturing the hinging mechanism compared to the default hinge models.
Analysis of rc framed structures with central and partial openings in masonry...eSAT Journals
Abstract In Reinforced concrete frames the masonry infill walls are a common practice in countries like India, where the region is prone to seismic activity. In general, the masonry infill walls are treated as nonstructural element in structural analysis and only the contribution of its mass for is considered and it’s structural parameters like strength and stiffness is generally ignored in practice, such an approach may lead to an unsafe design. Infill walls resist lateral loads but because of the openings in the infill wall the resistance may slightly reduce. The IS code provisions do not provide guidelines for the analysis and design of RC frames with infill wall and for different percentage of openings. In this study, an office or residential building outer side central opening or outer side partial openings are used and analysis is carried for Bare Frame model, infill walls without opening, infill walls with outer periphery central opening and infill wall with outer periphery partial opening models. In ETABS software G+14 RC framed building models has been prepared, Equivalent Static Lateral force method, Response spectrum method has been performed for analysis as per IS 1893 : 2002 including p-delta effects. Storey displacement, Storey shear, Storey drift, with soft storey considering the effects of infill wall with central and partial openings are the parameters considered in this study. For modeling, the Equivalent diagonal strut method has been used to find out the width of Strut using FEMA 273 .The results for bare frame, infill wall, and infill wall with central and partial openings are discussed and conclusions are made.

Abstract
The effect of a skew angle on single-span reinforced concrete bridges is analyzed using the finite-element method and the results are
presented in this paper. Investigations are carried out on RC slab bridge decks with and without edge beams to study the influence of
aspect ratio, skew angle and type of load. The finite-element analysis results for skewed bridges are compared to the reference
straight bridges for dead load, IRC Class A loading and IRC 70R loading for with and without edge beam. A total of 90 bridge models
are analyzed. The variation of maximum deflection, maximum longitudinal sagging bending moment, maximum torsional moment, and
maximum support reaction with skew angle is studied for all 90 bridge deck models. The FEA results of Dead load and Live load
bending moments and deflections decreases with increase in skew angle, where as maximum support reactions increases with increase
in skew angle and the maximum torsional moment increases with skew angle up to 45 degrees and there after decreases. The benefit
of providing edge beam is reflected in significant decrease in deflection, longitudinal bending moment and torsional moment.

Seismic evaluation of rc framed buildings with influence of masonry infill paneleSAT Journals
Abstract
RC framed buildings are generally designed without considering the structural action of masonry infill walls present. These walls are
widely used as partitions and considered as non-structural elements. But they affect both the structural and non-structural
performance of the RC buildings during earthquakes. RC framed building with open first storey is known as soft storey, which
performs poorly during earthquakes. A similar soft storey effect can also appear below plinth, when the ground material has removed
during excavation and refilled later. To observe the effect of masonry infill panel, it is modeled as an equivalent diagonal strut. In
order to study these six RC framed buildings with brick masonry infill were designed for the same seismic hazard. In the present paper
an investigation has been made to study the behavior of RC frames with various arrangement of infill when subjected to earthquake
loading. The results of bare frame, frame with infill, soft ground floor, soft basement and infill in swastika pattern in ground floor are
compared and conclusions are made. It is observed that, providing infill below plinth and in swastika pattern in the ground floor
improves earthquake resistant behavior of the structure when compared to soft basement.

Effect of infill walls on the seismic performance of the multistoried buildingseSAT Journals
Abstract The most commonly used structural system in our country for almost all types of building are multi-storey reinforced concrete frames with masonry infills. Therefore it is essential to understand the seismic behaviour of these structures when subjected to lateral forces. Several research works has been done on the masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames in the past decades. Mortar is used as a binder in normal brick construction in order to create continuous structural form and to bind together the individual units in brickwork. In the present study, analysis has been carried out by considering the increase in height of building from five to ten storied by using finite element software ANSYS 14.5. The seismic analysis of multi-storeyed building frames with infill walls and without infill walls are conducted. 3D analysis will give more realistic values of deflection and stresses. Since this type of study is not feasible in terms of analysis time taken, 2D model was adopted for the present study. A three bay two dimensional building frame is considered with the number of stories varying from 5 storied to 10 storied. The loading applied is as per IS 1893 (Part I): 2002. Equivalent diagonal strut method is adopted for modelling infill walls. The results showed that there is considerable decrease in deflection when infills are used in RC frames.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.
Keywords: Flat slabs, punching shear, unbalanced moment.

1. INTRODUCTION
Reinforced concrete slabs supported on columns were initially
developed in the United States of America and Europe in the
beginning of the 20th century [1].Their designs typically
included large mushroom-shaped column capitals to facilitate
the local introduction of forces from the slab to the column. In
the 1950s, flat slabs without capitals started to become
prevalent. Because of their simplicity, both for construction
and for use (simple formwork and reinforcement, flat soffit
allowing an easy placement of equipment, and installation
underneath the slab); they have become very common for
medium height residential and office buildings as well as for
parking garages. The design of flat slabs is mostly governed
by serviceability conditions on the one side (with relatively
large deflections in service) and by the ultimate limits state of
punching shear (also called two-way shear) on the other side.
These two criteria typically lead to the selection of the
appropriate slab thickness.
Punching shear failure is caused by the vertical shear and
unbalanced moment borne by the slab-column connection,
which makes the flat-slab connections a weak link in the
whole flat-slab structure, and then leading to serious damage
or even collapse. Unbalanced moments commonly occur in
buildings with flat slabs, caused by unequal spans or loading
on either side of the column. Differences of temperature or
differential creep between two adjacent floors results in
differential displacements of the top and bottom of the
columns, which induce moments in the slab-column
connection, even if the columns, as is assumed for this study,
do not participate in the horizontal load resisting system. In
the presence of such moments, the phenomenon of punching
becomes unsymmetrical, and the punching strength of the slab
decreases. This phenomenon has been described by
researchers [2].
1.1 Punching Shear Due To Unbalanced Moment
The analysis for punching shear in flat slabs is assumed that
the shear force, Vu was resisted by shearing stresses uniformly
distributed around the perimeter bo of the critical section, a
distance d/2 from the face of the supporting column. If
significant moments are to be transferred from the slab to the
columns, as would result from unbalanced gravity loads on
either side of a column or from horizontal loading due to
wind or seismic effects, the shear stress on the critical section
is no longer uniformly distributed.
The situation can be modeled as shown in Fig. 1. Here, Vu
represents the total vertical reaction to be transferred to the
column, and Mu represents the unbalanced moment to be
transferred. The vertical force Vu causes shear stress
distributed more or less uniformly around the perimeter of the
critical section as assumed earlier, represented by the inner
pair of vertical arrows, acting downward. The unbalanced
moment Mu causes additional loading on the joint,
represented by the outer pair of vertical arrows, which is
added to the shear stress caused by Vu.

According to the IS 456-2000, the shear stress may be taken
linearly varying about the centroid of the section (Fig.1c). The
shear stress at any point in the periphery arises from two
effects, namely, that due to the shear force Vu and that arising
from transfer of unbalanced moment to column. Combining
these two, the maximum shear stress τ is given by,

The value of J is computed from SP: 24-1983 Explanatory
hand book to IS 456-2000.
For a structure to be safe, the punching shear stress should be
less than the safe value. The ultimate safe value of the
punching shear of concrete is given by the least value of the
following two equations (IS 456 Clause 31.6.3)

Eqn.(4) is the initial value suggested for a square column but
research has shown that its magnitude is affected by the shape
of the column so that it can be expressed for a rectangle by
Eqn.(5), where ratio of short side to long side of column
capital. The code requires that the shear stresses should be
investigated at successive sections away from the support, but
does not indicate suitable intervals. It is suggested that these
successive sections may be taken at intervals of 0.75 d (SP:
24-1983 Explanatory hand book to IS 456-2000).

2.1 Parametric Study of Punching Shear for Different
Aspect Ratio of Slab
A parametric study is performed to evaluate the magnitude of
punching shear due to unbalanced moments. The main
parameter of the study is the aspect ratio of the slab and the
corresponding variation of punching shear for the four types of
column as described earlier. Table 1 summarizes the
geometrical parameters used in the study and the results
obtained. The loading on the slab and the unbalanced
moments considered are the same for all the cases.

14/7 2 8.28 55.84 14.52 22.53
It can be concluded from Table 1 that as the aspect ratio
increases, the punching shear in the slab also increases.
Punching shear is found to be more critical at corner columns
and least at interior columns.
CONCLUSIONS
Design sheets developed will help the designer to check for
punching shear and calculate the shear reinforcement as per IS
456-2000 for different conditions of column locations. The
program is validated by manual calculations and the results are
found to be comparable. The design sheets developed will
enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the
initial phase of the design in a simple manner.
