Use Of Coconut Shell As An Aggregate In Concrete: A Review, Sourav Ghosal, S. C. Moulik
Use Of Coconut Shell As An Aggregate In Concrete: A Review, Sourav Ghosal, S. C. Moulik
Innovative Research Publications IRP India
Now-a-days, the rising cost of building materials for construction purposes is a factor of great concern. The price of building materials is rising day by day. Now, most of the researchers are paying much attention on the suitable materials which can reduce the cost of construction as well as increase the strength properties of concrete. Mainly gravel and sand are used in the preparation of conventional concrete. While the use of an agricultural by-product i.e. coconut shell as a partial replacement with conventional coarse aggregates is expected to serve the purpose of encouraging housing developers in building construction. Environmental impact …

The most implementable and favorable technique, used for the flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams is the attachment of external steel members. Attachment of external steel sections or fiber reinforced polymers is considered as a common technique used for the enhancement of flexural capacity of the existing structural elements. To investigate and evaluate the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete beams, strengthened with external steel bars, a research study was carried out and is presented in this paper. Three reinforced concrete beams reinforced with minimum reinforcement ratio were constructed and tested. Two beams were strengthened by attaching external steel bars …

Innovative Research Publications IRP India
The design procuress for toggle-brace-damper system is to complex. Particularly for those engineers who not have any much experiences in this area. In this paper, a comprehensive economic geometric design steps of the novel toggle-brace-damper system to enhance in new or retrofit existing structure is presented. Nonlinear time history analyses are carried out in Opensees.

A research was carried out to assess the effect of concrete creep on long-term performance of skewed Integral Abutment Bridge. Time-history transient analysis was conducted using Finite Element method for 75-year period. Parametric study was conducted in LUSAS to assess the effect of bridge total length (60m,90m,150m), skew angles (00 ,100 ,200 ,300 ,400 ), backfill soil stiffness (dense sand, loose sand) on the behaviour of the bridge measured by girder and abutment displacement, moment and shears. Three dimensional nonlinear thick beam element with CEP-FIP 1990 creep material properties was used to model bridge girders. Other structural members were modelled …
