Design Coefficients for Three Cell Box Culvert
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 6 Multiple cell reinforced box culverts are ideal bridge structure if the discharge in a drain crossing the road is large and if the bearing capacity of the soil is low as the single box culvert becomes uneconomical because of the higher thickness of the slab and walls. In such cases, more than one box can be constructed side- by- side monolithically. The box culvert has to be analyzed for...

Minimization of Spent Acid Waste from Galvanizing Plant in Malaysia
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 6 Hydrochloric acid is used as pickling acid in galvanizing industry to remove rust from steel. Usage of this acid incurs high expenditure cost when it is disposed as scheduled waste. The importance of this study is to come up with a better way to minimize the cost being spent for hydrochloric acid disposal by optimizing and extending the life span of the hydrochloric acid. The methodology...

Long Term Performance Test of Low Span Low Cost Masonry Slab (without reinforcement) under Static Load, Repeated Load and Impact
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 In residential buildings, low cost is a vital demand. Slab made of brick module with or without beam is found to be practiced locally. Moreover brick masonry slab is easy to construct and durable with respect to fire proofing and corrosion if nominal or zero reinforcement is possible. Therefore a study was under taken in the Department of Civil Engineering, KUET to investigate the long-t...

Reasons and Ways to Redefine Seismic Intensity Relying on Instrumental Information
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 The shortcomings of the “traditional†concept of seismic intensity from the viewpoint of requirements of accuracy of input data to be used in specific engineering activities are recognized on one hand. An illustrative case of deriving wrong conclusions due to some of these shortcomings is referred to. On the other hand, the importance of the concept of seismi...

On the Calculation of Crack Width in RC Linear Elements under Eccentric Load
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 Proof of controlling crack width is a basic condition for securing suitable performance in ser-viceability limit state. Most codes struggle with offering procedure for crack width calculation. So did the former Euro Code [ENV 1992-1-1:dec. 1991] and the present [BS EN 1992-1-1:2004]. Both contain a proce-dure, rendering almost identical calculation results, however aiming mainly to pure ...

Studies on Behaviour of RCC Beam-Column Joint Retrofitted with Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheet
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings designed for IS 456-2000 have been found to be weak in adequate seismic design provisions, capacity design considerations and detailing for ductile behaviour. Experimental tests RC frames have shown that the excessive damage or failure of beam-column joints, in particular exterior (or corner) joints which can lead to the global collapse of a building. T...

Estimating the 3-Second Gust on Rooftops of Residential and Low-rise Buildings during a Hurricane
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 After the passage of a hurricane numerous infrastructures suffer water and wind damages. From engineering meteorology viewpoint, many cases are related to the impact of the wind on a roof. In order to estimate the wind speed on a roof, the three second gust is employed according to ASCE-7 for the wind load analysis. However, since there is no 3-s gust measurement on a roof, constant disp...
Study of Sorptivity of Self-Compacting Concrete with Different Chemical Admixtures
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 5 The influence of chemical admixtures on the properties of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) was investigated. All types of used admixtures were the same percentage of 1.4% according technical data. The water – cement ratio was maintained at 0.36 for all mixes [8] [9]. The paper presents test results for acceptance characteristics of flow ability, resistance against segregat...

Propagation Power Loss Analysis and Evaluation under Variant Atmospheric Conditions
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 4 The effect of propagation factors on high rate transmission services at microwave range is observed to be very high. The variant nature of atmospheric conditions places a major part in the distortion of original signal. Among various factors observed in signal degradation, power loss is observed to be a dominant factor. The loss in power strength degrades the receiving signal strength re...

Pushover Analysis of Multistoried Building
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 4 A large number of multi-storey reinforced concrete (R/C) framed building structures in urban India are constructed with masonry in fills for architectural, aesthetic or economic reasons. We have investigated the effect of the layout of masonry infill panels over the elevation of masonry in filled R/C frames on the seismic performance and potential seismic damage of the frame under strong...
