Asian Resonance ( P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No.UPENG/2012/426228 VOL.-IV, ISSUE-I, January-2015  E: ISSN No. 2349-9443 )  Abstract   Ashish Kumar Parashar  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Civil Engineering, IT, GGV (Central University), Bilaspur. Seismic vulnerability analysis, an approach to get an estimate of the strong ground-motions at any particular site, is mainly intended for earthquake resistant designs or for seismic safety assessments. The hazards associated with earthquakes are referred to as seismic hazards. The hazard study usually attempts to analyze two different kinds of anticipated ground motions, “the Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis” (PSHA) and “the Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis” (DSHA). An effort has been made herein to do seismic hazard analysis for Sikaser Dam (20 31 30 N, Long. 82 19 0 E) of Chattisgarh state. An attempt was made to compile the occurrence of past and recent seismic activities within 300 km radius arou...

College, Jorhat, Assam Nayanmoni Chetia  Assistant Professor, Deptt. of Civil Engineering, Jorhat Engg. College, Jorhat, Assam Concrete plays a vital role in Infrastructure development of a country and Concrete is the world’s largest consuming material in the field of construction. The replacement of cement through some admixtures or other additives to increase the strength is in trend. Micro silica, a very fine non-crystalline material is very good as filler material to provide good strength. An attempt has been made to increase the strength of concrete by replacing cement with 0%, 5%,10%,15% and 20% of Micro silica in a design mix of M35 and M40.The materials are taken from the locally available sources in the North Eastern region. It is observed that an optim...

Asian Resonance ( P: ISSN No. 0976-8602 RNI No.UPENG/2012/42622 VOL.-8, ISSUE-2,(Part-1) April 2019 E: ISSN No. 2349-9443 ) Abstract   Pankaj Prajapati  Associate Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology & Engineering, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara, Gujrat, India Transportation plays a vital role in providing transport services for the public in most of the cities. Urban travel demand is influenced by number of factor, primary and important one is increase in the size of population that results into rise in number of trips by them to reach their destinations. The built environment is related, directly and perhaps indirectly, with levels of perceived crash risk and with levels of actual crash risk. Amongst built-environment features, the urban design and land-use diversity factors were positively related with the decision of mode choice selection. An attempt is made in the present study to identify the effect of various parame...

Civil Engineering, Construction Technology & Management, HCTM Kaithal-Haryana,India Arvind Dewangan  Associate Professor Deptt of Civil Engineering, Haryana college of Technology & Management, HCTM Technical Campus Kaithal,Haryana India In this thesis the effect of using marble powder as constituents of fines in mortar or concrete by partially reducing quantities of cement has been studied in terms of the relative compressive, tensile as well as flexural strengths. Partial replacement of cement by varying percentage of marble powder reveals that increased waste marble powder (WMP) ratio result in increased strengths of the mortar and concrete .Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problem. Hence the reuse of waste material has bee...

Periodic Research   ( P: ISSN No. 2231-0045 RNI No. UPBIL/2012/55438 VOL.-IV, ISSUE-III, February-2016 E: ISSN No. 2349-9435 ) Abstract   Amaresh Kumar Rai  Associate Professor, Deptt. of Civil Engineering, Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology, Muzaffarpur, Bihar The surface of the roadway should be stable and non-yielding, to allow heavy wheel load of road traffic. The road surface should also be even along the longitudinal profile to enable the fast vehicles to move safely and comfortably at the design speed. The earth road may not be able to fulfill any of the above requirements, especially during the varying conditions of traffic loads and the weather. At high moisture contents, the soil becomes weaker and soft and starts yielding under heavy wheel loads, thus increasing the tractive resistance. The unevenness and undulations of the surface along the longitudinal profile of the road causes vertical oscillations in the fast moving automobiles increasing the fuel con...
