Experimental Study on the Behaviour of Concrete by Partially Replacement of Cement with Sugarcane Bagasse
We are well aware that the production of cement does a lot of harm to the environment. It includes tons of similar carbon emissions from other chemicals. Research has shown that every ton of cement output releases half a ton of carbon dioxide, so the need to regulate the use of cement is immediate. For […]
Damage and Loss Assessment of a Midrise RC Building in Downtown Area of Yangon Region
Yangon is an earthquake prone region and most of the low rise to mid rise residential reinforced concrete buildings are designed for gravity loads only. Therefore, evaluation of seismic vulnerability of buildings is essential in order to predict the probable damages and losses to this type of buildings. Damage assessment and earthquake loss estimation for […]
An Experimental Investigation on Incorporation of Fine Aggregate with Glass Powder and Cement with Zeolite to Mitigate Urban Heat Island Effect
An experimental study was done for replacement of glass powder and zeolite to evaluate the effect of urban heat island. All of the concrete sample mixtures carried out the intensified mortar bar test to evaluate the growth of the ASR. Perhaps this is partly related to a smaller glass particle size, the chemical characteristics of […]
Determination of Local Site Effects in Taikkyi Area, Yangon Region by using Microtremor Observations
Considering the possible local site effect is one of the most important facts in seismic hazard assessment. Depending on the local site condition, the characteristics of the seismic waves propagated through different geological layers and amplified the surface ground motion. In this study, one of the geophysical method of microtremor observations were carried out at […]
Site Characterization and Seismic Site Response Study for Bagan Area
Bagan, the cultural heritage city of Myanmar located in the Mandalay region, which is very close to the active Sagaing fault. Most of Bagan’s cultural heritage monuments have been damaged due to earthquakes. Therefore, seismic response analysis is needed to evaluate site response characteristics for retrofitting and preservation of the historical monuments in Bagan. Site […]
