Safety Challenge in High Rise Building IJTSRD
According to the International Building Code and the Building Construction and Safety Code, high-rise buildings are buildings of 75 feet or greater in height measured from the lowest level of fire department vehicle access to the floor of the highest occupiable story. high-rise buildings increase in number every year and the most common high-rise buildings […]
Durability Study on Self Compacting Concrete with Mineral Admixture IJTSRD
Self compacting concrete can be placed and compacted under its own weight without any vibration and without segregation or bleeding. The use of mineral admixture such as fly ash, GGBS, etc. as partial replacement of cement in SCC can bring down cost. The use of industrial waste such as fly ash, GGBS, etc in the […]
Drought Assessment Using Standard Precipitation Index IJTSRD
Drought is one of the extreme climatic events among the most relevant natural disasters. This paper presents drought assessment using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) to overview the respective drought hot spots. Monthly rainfall data during the previous 36 years (1982 ““ 2017) are applied to generate Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) with 3-month and 9-month scale […]
Comparative Study on Effect of Fly Ash and Rice Husk Ash on Strength of Concrete IJTSRD
The construction of concrete pavement is growing across the country due to its strength, durability, better serviceability & overall economy in long run. The need is to develop better quality pavement sections, which can bear heavy loads. This can be achieved by using high compressive strength concrete (>40MPa) made up of hydraulic cement having fine […]
Plastic Wastes as Partial Replacement of Conventional Natural Aggregates IJTSRD
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in today’s world. It is very difficult to point out another material of construction as versatile as concrete. It is a material of choice where strength, durability, permanence, impermeability, fire resistance and abrasion resistance are required. It is so closely associated now with every human activity that […]
