NATIONAL BUILDING CODE

A) The Draft Building Act: Its salient features include provision for the following: • i) Set-up of a National Building Council or Committee with responsibility for the determination and updating of a National Building Code, and to assistnNG in its implementation. (This is conceived to be the apex body, and is entrusted with a wide range of responsibilities for the successful implementation of a NBC)5 2146 • ii) Classification of buildings into four categories in line with draft NBC philosophy. • iii) Implementation, supervision and monitoring...

Composite structures

I. INTRODUCTION Composite structures can be defined as the Structures in which composite sections made up of two different types of materials such as steel and concrete are used for beams, and columns. This paper include comparative study of R.C.C. with Steel Concrete Composite (G+12, G+16, G+20, G+24) story buildings which situated in Nagpur earthquake zone II and wind speed 44m/s. Equivalent Static Method of Analysis is used. For modeling...

Study of Soil properties

Properties Of Soil Soil is a complex material produced by the weathering of solid rock. Weathering is caused by the agent such as temperature change, impact, flowing water, ice, wind, plants and animal. Weathering (disintegration) may be of physical or chemical. Due to physical weathering of rocks, cohesion less soil (sand, gravel, boulder) is formed. Chemical weathering may be caused due to oxidation , hydration, carbonation etc. Clay minerals (cohesive soil) are produced by chemical weathering.     The various agencies...

River Training works

12.00 River training works are various measures adopted on a river to direct and guide the river flow, to train and  regulate the river bed or to increase the low water depth. The purpose of river training is to establish the channel along a certain alignment. Following are the objectives of river training:- To prevent the direction of the flow and to avoid out flanking of structures like bridges, weir and aqueducts. To prevent...

Reinforced Cement Concrete Structures

Theory of R.C.C. Concrete is reasonably strong in compression and weak in tension, where steel is good in tension and the combination of these materials makes an ideal and popular material known as reinforced cement concrete. Generally, steel rods used resist tensile forces, but in some cases they are also used to resist a part of the compressive force either because of natural constraints in construction or because of secondary requirement. Merits of R.C.C The coefficient of linear expansion of steel and concrete are almost same. Concrete...

Types of Bridge

12.00 Types of Bridge A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for road, a railway, pedestrian, a canal, or a pipeline. There are numerous types of bridges based on many ways. Following are the various of bridge based on different basis:- A) Based on Function:                 a. Aqueduct (Canal over a river)                ...

Causes Of Earthquake

Most earthquakes are causally linked to compressional or tensional stresses developed on the margins of the huge moving lithospheric plates define the earth's surface. The immediate reason for most shallow earthquakes will be the sudden launch of stress along a fault, or fracture inside the earth's crust, leading to movement from the opposing blocks of rock past one another. These movements cause vibrations to give and around the earth in wave form, equally as ripples are generated whenever a pebble is dropped into water. Volcanic eruptions,...
