IRJET- Study of Literature on Seismic Response of RC Irregular StructureIRJET Journal
The document discusses vertical irregularities in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings and their effects on seismic response. It first defines vertical irregularities as weaknesses caused by discontinuities in mass, stiffness, or geometry between storeys. Soft stories, where the stiffness suddenly decreases, are one type of vertical irregularity. The document then reviews several previous studies on modeling and analyzing vertically irregular buildings using pushover analysis, which incrementally loads a structure to determine its failure mechanisms. The studies found that soft story buildings absorb energy through overturning and shear deformation. Irregular buildings may have similar seismic performance to regular buildings if properly designed. Quantifying the degree of irregularity can help evaluate seismic vulnerability and retrofitting needs.

2) Nonlinear time history analyses were conducted on the original and modified buildings using scaled ground motions. Results were used to develop fragility curves showing probability of exceeding damage states.
3) At a peak ground acceleration of 0.35g, performance improved by 35% for one building and 70% for the other after adding shear walls to reduce torsion, indicating torsional irregularity negatively impacts seismic performance.
The document describes the development and implementation of a portable ultrasonic sensor circuit with USB interface to detect damages in mild steel structures. The circuit amplifies and shifts ultrasonic waves captured by a PZT sensor. A microcontroller digitizes the waves at 2 MHz and transfers the data to a PC via USB. The PC filters the waves and calculates RMS values, which can identify differences between intact and damaged steel conditions. Testing showed the circuit successfully detected a 1mm x 10mm x 5mm damage in a 10 kg steel structure. The portable ultrasonic sensor circuit can effectively detect damages in mild steel.
This study analyzes the future sediment transport capacity in the urbanized Bagmati River basin in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. A sediment rating curve is developed to relate sediment concentration to river discharge. A regression model is also created linking sediment discharge to precipitation, river discharge, and increasing urban area. Both models are calibrated and validated. Results show the sediment transport capacity is projected to increase by 4.33-6% per decade due to a rising urban area of 6% per decade. Increasing urbanization reduces sediment generation in the watershed but causes excess erosion in the river channel, impacting morphology. The findings provide insights for river basin management.
The document summarizes a study on the effect of daylighting and orientation in an office building in Kathmandu, Nepal. It discusses how orientation plays an important role in daylighting and visual comfort. The study finds that the best orientation for Kathmandu is 175 degrees north. It also finds that for buildings with a window-to-wall ratio greater than 60%, orientation does not play a vital role in daylighting. The study uses simulations in Autodesk Ecotect 2011 to analyze daylighting levels for the existing building orientation and the calculated best orientation of 175 degrees north.
This document summarizes a study analyzing the financial performance of selected public and joint venture commercial banks in Nepal from 2015 to 2019 using the CAMEL rating system. CAMEL assesses banks based on capital adequacy, asset quality, management efficiency, earnings quality, and liquidity. The study found that Himalayan Bank maintained higher capital levels while Everest Bank had higher quality loans and earnings efficiency. Standard Chartered Bank had stronger management efficiency while Agricultural Development Bank had higher liquidity. Statistical tests showed no significant differences between public and joint venture banks in capital adequacy, earnings, and liquidity, but significant differences in asset quality and management quality.
This document presents CASWAT-G, a simple and low-cost surface ropeway transportation system that uses gravitational potential energy. The system works by harvesting the gravitational force from descending users and using it to pull ascending users up slopes. It requires few parts - two bull wheels, a supporting structure, pulleys, cables, and safety belts. Users are connected by cable and harness the system's gravity balancing effect to walk up and down slopes with only mild exertion of leg muscle force. Experimental data shows the harvested force is consistently higher than the applied force, with an efficiency over 80%. The system provides an environmentally friendly transportation option for mountainous areas that requires little infrastructure or energy.
1) The study analyzes and compares the costs and quality of road maintenance using the Standard Maintenance and Development Procedure (SMDP) and Performance-Based Maintenance Contracts (PBMC) on the Malekhu-Mugling road section in Nepal.
2) The annual costs of SMDP were found to be Rs. 1,30,21,605 compared to the equivalent uniform annual cost of Rs. 1,80,81,921 for PBMC based on a life cycle cost analysis.
3) A qualitative analysis found that PBMC resulted in better quality repairs by addressing potholes and structural defects more promptly, using trained crews, and providing flexibility, while SMDP resulted in delayed repairs and
This document discusses methods for calculating beam deflection, including direct integration and the moment-area method. It introduces the concept of beam deflection, curvature, and boundary conditions. The direct integration method involves taking the derivative of the bending moment equation with respect to shear force and loading. The moment-area method uses two theorems: the change in angle between beam sections equals the moment-area product, and the tangent deviation equals the moment-area centroid. An example calculation of a cantilever beam deflection using direct integration is also provided.

2. RETROFITTING OPTIONS FOR RC FRAME BUILDINGS
Various study reports on the seismic vulnerability of Nepal have
revealed that more than 60% of the buildings in Kathmandu
valley are unsafe and extremely vulnerable to the large
impending earthquake (IX MMI intensity). National Society for
Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET) has been involved in
earthquake vulnerability assessment of hundreds of private and
public buildings in Nepal for the past two decades which shows
that most masonry buildings and more than 36% of RC frame
buildings are non-compliant to construction standards with
seismic consideration.
3. RETROFITTING OPTIONS FOR RC FRAME BUILDINGS
Recent Gorkha Earthquake 2015 has already shown the
vulnerability of existing buildings in Kathmandu valley.
Many buildings got severely damaged even at MMI VI
intensity Earthquake or below. Since reconstruction of all
unsafe buildings is not possible economically, retrofitting
of these buildings could be better option to make them
seismically safe. This article mainly focus on retrofitting of
RC Frame buildings. It presents different retrofitting
techniques explored and implemented along with their
feasibility for retrofitting of RC Frame buildings such as
RC jacketing of frame; Steel profile jacketing of frame;
Addition of reinforced masonry wing walls; Strengthening
of infill masonry.
4. INTRODUCTION
Past seismic records of Nepal show that many destructive
earthquakes have occurred throughout the country, claiming
thousands of lives and property. In 1934AD, a strong
earthquake shook the Kathmandu Valley, destroying 20
percent and damaging 40 percent of the buildings in the
valley. Many earthquakes have since followed causing further
damage to the buildings of Kathmandu Valley, warranting
the fact that future destructive earthquakes are unavoidable.
(KVERMP, 1998)
RETROFITTING OPTIONS FOR RC FRAME BUILDINGS
5. • Through development and rapid urbanization, the seismic
vulnerability of Kathmandu valley has increased a great deal over the
past century. With an increase in population to about 1 1/2 million,
construction of new buildings and infrastructure has increased at an
extremely fast rate. The majority of this new infrastructure especially
that with buildings of poor construction, does not meet basic seismic
requirements hence increasing the seismic vulnerability of
Kathmandu. If an earthquake of similar intensity to that of 1934AD (
IX MMI Intensity) were to occur in modern day Kathmandu Valley, the
lost estimate study of the valley reveals that as many as 60 percent of
all buildings in the Valley are likely to be damaged heavily, many
beyond repair. (KVERMP, 1998)

6. •Assessment results show that most
masonry buildings and more than 36% of
RC frame buildings assessed were also
found non-compliant. The problem lies
with the configuration of the building as
well as lack in strength and ductility.

7. Recent Gorkha Earthquake 2015 has already shown
the vulnerability of existing buildings in Kathmandu
valley. Many buildings got severely damaged even
at MMI VI intensity Earthquake or below claiming
thousands of life and huge property loss. Since
reconstruction of all unsafe buildings is not possible
economically, retrofitting of these buildings could
be better option to make them seismically safe.
