Effect of masonry walls in the progressive collapse of a ten storied rc buildingkunalsahu9883
In this project, a progressive collapse assessment was carried out for a typical ten-story reinforced concrete framed structure, with and
without a masonry infill wall, designed according to codes for minimum design loads for buildings and other structures.
Three different types of analysis were carried out namely linear static analysis, nonlinear static analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis
using SAP2000.
It was found for the studied case that, the infilled masonry walls have a valuable contribution in mitigating progressive collapse of the
reinforced concrete framed structures.

This paper deals with the cyclic elastoplastic large displacement analysis and stability evaluation of steel tubular braces subjected to axial tension and compression. The inelastic cyclic performance of cold-formed steel braces made of circular hollow sections is examined through finite element analysis using the commercial computer program ABAQUS. First some of the most important parameters considered in the practical design and ductility evaluation of steel braces of tubular sections are presented. Then the details of finite element modeling and numerical analysis are described. Later the accuracy of the analytical model employed in the analysis is substantiated by comparing the analytical results with the available test data in the literature. Finally the effects of some important structural and material parameters on cyclic inelastic behavior of steel tubular braces are discussed and evaluated.
Analysis and Design of Rectangular and L-Shaped Columns Subjected to Axial Lo...Nitin Dahiya
Next to rectangular and circular columns, L-shaped columns may be the most frequently encountered reinforced concrete columns, since they can be used as a corner column in framed structures. The behaviour of irregular shaped reinforced concrete columns has been a constant concern for a structural engineer, to design a safe and economic structure in modern buildings and bridge piers. L-shaped reinforced concrete column subjected to biaxial bending and axial compression is a common design problem. Axial load capacity and Moment capacity of rectangular and L-shaped reinforced concrete columns have been done in this work. A computer program has been developed to obtain the axial load capacity and moment capacity of reinforced concrete columns of rectangular and L-shaped.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Structures & Classifications
• Structures are a group of members, such as beams, columns, slabs,
foundations, girders, and trusses, that work as a unit to fulfill a
purpose.
• Structures as classified into either being statically determinate or
statically indeterminate.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
3. Statically determinate structures
• Determinate structures are analysed just by the use of basic
equilibrium equations.
• By this analysis, the unknown reactions are found for the
further determination of stresses.
• Example of determinate structures are: simply supported
beams, cantilever beams, single and double overhanging
beams, three hinged arches, etc.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
4. Redundant or Statically indeterminate structures
• Redundant or indeterminate structures are not capable of being
analysed by mere use of basic equilibrium equations.
• Along with the basic equilibrium equations, some extra conditions
are required to be used like compatibility conditions of
deformations etc to get the unknown reactions for drawing bending
moment and shear force diagrams.
• Examples of indeterminate structures are: fixed beams, continuous
beams, fixed arches, two hinged arches, portals, multistoried
frames, etc.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
5. Difference Between Determinate and Indeterminate Structures
S. No. Determinate Structures Indeterminate Structures
1 Equilibrium conditions are fully adequate to analyze
the structure.
Conditions of equilibrium are not adequate to fully
analyze the structure.
2 Bending moment or shear force at any section is
independent of the material property of the
structure.
Bending moment or shear force at any section depends
upon the material property.
3 The bending moment or shear force at any section is
independent of the cross-section or moment of
inertia.
The bending moment or shear force at any section
depends upon the cross-section or moment of inertia.
4 Temperature variations do not cause stresses. Temperature variations cause stresses.
5 No stresses are caused due to lack of fit. Stresses are caused due to lack of fit.
6 Extra conditions like compatibility of displacements
are not required to analyze the structure.
Extra conditions like compatibility of displacements are
required to analyze the structure along with the
equilibrium equations.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
6. Beam
• The beam is defined as the structural
member which is used to bear different
loads.
• It resists the vertical loads, shear forces
and bending moments.
• A beam is a bar subject to forces or
couples that lie in a plane containing
the longitudinal section of the bar.
• According to determinacy, a beam may
be determinate or indeterminate.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
7. Statically Determinate Beams
• Statically determinate beams are those
beams in which the reactions of the
supports may be determined by the use
of the equations of static equilibrium.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
8. Statically Indeterminate Beams
• If the number of reactions exerted upon a beam exceeds the number of equations in
static equilibrium, the beam is said to be statically indeterminate.
• In order to solve the reactions of the beam, the static equations must be
supplemented by equations based upon the elastic deformations of the beam.
• The degree of indeterminacy is taken as the difference between the number of
reactions to the number of equations in static equilibrium that can be applied.
• In the case of the propped beam shown, there are three reactions RA, RB, and MA
and only two equations (ΣM = 0 and ΣFv = 0) can be applied, thus the beam is
indeterminate to the first degree (3 - 2 = 1).
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
9. Types of Beams
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
10. Cantilever Beam
• A cantilever beam is a beam that is fixed from one end
and free at the other end.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
11. Simply Supported Beam
• A beam which is supported or resting on the supports at
its both the ends, is called simply supported beam.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
12. Overhanging Beam
• In a beam, if one of its ends is extended beyond the
support, it is known as overhanging beam.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
13. Fixed Beams
• A beam which has both of its ends fixed or built in walls
is called fixed beam.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
14. Continuous Beam
• It is a beam which is provided with more than two
supports
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
15. Propped Cantilever Beam
• In propped cantilever beam, the free end of the
cantilever beam is place on a roller support
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
16. Structural support
• A structural support is a part of a building or structure that
provides the necessary stiffness and strength in order to resist
the internal forces (vertical forces of gravity and lateral forces
due to wind and earthquakes) and guide them safely to the
ground.
• External loads (actions of other bodies) that act on buildings
cause internal forces (forces and couples by the rest of the
structure) in building support structures.
• Supports can be either at the end or at any intermediate point
along a structural member.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
17. Types of Support
• Supports are used in structures to
provide stability and strength. Every
support has its own field of
application. The various types of
supports that are used in structures
are:
• 1. Roller Support
• 2. Fixed Support
• 3. Pinned Support
• 4. Simple Support
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
18. Roller Support
• It is a support which is free to rotate and translate along the surface on which
they rest.
• The surface on which the roller supports are installed may be horizontal, vertical,
and inclined to any angle.
• The roller supports has only one reaction, this reaction acts perpendicular to the
surface and away from it.
• The roller supports are unable to resists the lateral loads (the lateral loads are
the live loads whose main components are horizontal forces).
• They resist only vertical loads.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
19. Pinned Support (hinge support)
• It is a types of support which resists the horizontal and vertical loads but is unable to resists
the moment.
• The pinned support has two support reactions and these are vertical and horizontal reactions.
• It allows the structural member to rotate but does not allow translating in any direction.
• The pinned support allows the rotation only in one direction and resists the rotation in any
other direction.
• The best example is the doors and windows of our houses and our knee joint. Here the
rotation happens in one direction but the translation motion is restricted.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
20. Fixed Support (rigid support)
• It is a support which is capable of resisting all types of loads i.e. horizontal, vertical
as well as moments.
• The fixed support does not allow the rotation and translation motion to the
structural members.
• A flagpole fixed in the concrete base is the best example of fixed support.
• The other examples of the fixed support are electric pole in the streets, a bracket on
the wall, and all the riveted and welded joints in the steel etc.
• It provides the greater stability to the structure as compared with all other
supports.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
21. Simple Support
• The simple support is used where the structural member has to rest on the
external structure.
• These types of support are not used widely in daily life. It is similar to the
roller support.
• The simple supports resist only vertical forces or loads but not horizontal
forces.
• A pan of wood resting on two concrete blocks is the best example of a simple
support.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
22. Summary of Different Types of Support
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
23. Load
• The external force acting on the section or member
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
24. Types of Load
• There are three types of load. These are;
• Point load that is also called as concentrated load.
• Distributed load
• Coupled load
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
25. POINT LOAD
• The point load is just a single force acting on a single
point on a beam or frame member
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
26. DISTRIBUTED LOAD
• Distributed load is that acts over a considerable length or “over a
length which is measurable.
• Distributed load is measured as per unit length.
TYPES OF DISTRIBUTED LOAD
• Uniformly Distributed load (UDL)
• Uniformly Varying load (Non-uniformly distributed load).
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
27. UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD (UDL)
• The uniformly distributed load, also just called a uniform load is a load that
is spread evenly over some length of a beam or frame member.
• Uniformly distributed load is that whose magnitude remains uniform
throughout the length.
• It is expressed as w N/m. It is represented by UDL.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
28. Uniformly varying load (triangular load)
• The load which is spread on the section of member such that rate
of loading varies from the point to point in which load at one
section is zero and increase uniformly to the other end.
• For solving the problems the total load is equal to the area of
triangular and this total load is assumed to be acting at centre of
gravity of the triangle i.e. at a distance of 1/3 rd of total length
from the left side.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
29. TRAPEZOIDAL LOAD
• Trapezoidal load is that which is acting on the span
length in the form of trapezoid.
• Trapezoid is generally form with the combination of
uniformly distributed load (UDL) and triangular load
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
30. COUPLED LOAD
• Coupled load is that in which two equal and opposite forces acts on the
same span.
• The lines of action of both the forces are parallel to each other but opposite
in directions. This type of loading creates a couple load.
• Coupled load try to rotate the span in case one load is slightly more than the
2nd load. If force on one end of beam acts upward then same force will acts
downwards on the opposite end of beam.
• Coupled load is expressed as N.m
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
31. Shear Force
• The shear force at any point along a loaded beam may be defined as the
algebraic sum of all vertical forces acting on either side of the point on the
beam.
• The net effect of the shear force is to shear off the beam along with the point at
which it is acting.
• Shear force is taken +𝑖𝑣𝑒 if it produces a clockwise moment and it is taken
− 𝑖𝑣𝑒 when it produces an anticlockwise moment.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
32. Bending Moment
• Bending moment at any point along a loaded beam may be defined as the sum
of the moments due to all vertical forces acting on either side of the point on
the beam.
• The bending moment tries to bend the beam.
• Clockwise moments due to loads acting to the left of the section are assumed
to be +𝑖𝑣𝑒, while anticlockwise moments are taken −𝑖𝑣𝑒.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
33. Sign Convention Used For Shear Force
• Force acting in the right-hand side of the section in the upward direction is
taken −𝑖𝑣𝑒 and force in the right-hand side of the section acting in the
downward direction are taken as +𝑖𝑣𝑒.
• Similarly, a force in the left hand side of the section is taken +𝑖𝑣𝑒 if it is acting
in an upward direction and it is taken as negative if it is acting in a downward
direction.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
34. Sign Convention Used For Bending Moment
• First of all remove all the loads and reaction from any one side of the section.
• Now introduce each load and reaction one at a time and find its effect at the
section.
• A bending moment causes concavity upwards is taken +𝑖𝑣𝑒 and called a
sagging bending moment.
• A bending moment which is causing convexity upwards is taken −𝑖𝑣𝑒 and
called as hogging bending moment.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
35. Shear Force Diagrams
• A shear force diagram which shows the shear force at every
section of the beam due to transverse loading on it.
• Its baseline is equal to the span of the beam, drawn on a suitable
scale.
• For point loads S.F. diagram has a straight horizontal line,
• for UDL ( Uniformly Distributed Load), It has straight inclined lines,
and
• for uniformly varying loads it has a parabolic curve.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
36. Bending Moment Diagrams
• A bending moment diagram is a diagram which shows the bending
moment at every section of the beam due to transverse loading on
it.
• in case of a simply supported beam bending moment is zero at the
ends, and for a cantilever, it is zero at the free end.
• For point loads, B.M. diagram has straight inclined lines, for UDL, it
has a parabolic curve and for the uniformly varying load, it has a
cubic curve.
BIBIN.C / ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / RMK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
37. Important Points Must Be Kept In Mind While Drawing The
Shear Force And Bending Moment Diagram
• First of all, consider either the left or the right-hand side of the section.
• Add the forces (Including Reactions) normal to the beam on one of the side, if the
right-hand side of the section is chosen, a force acting downwards is taken +𝑖𝑣𝑒 while
a force acting upwards is −𝑖𝑣𝑒.
• The +𝑖𝑣𝑒 values of shear force and bending moment are plotted above the baseline,
and −𝑖𝑣𝑒 values below the baseline.
• The shear force diagram will decrease or increase suddenly shown by a vertical
straight line at a section when there is a vertical point load.
• The shear force between any two vertical loads will be constant and hence the shear
force diagram between two vertical loads will be horizontal.
• The bending moment at the two supports of a simply supported beam and also at the
free end of a cantilever will be zero.
