An Experimental Study on Bituminous Mix Design using Different Percentage of Crumb Rubber to Improve the Strength of Pavement
Production of rubber bitumen by blending of bitumen with crumb rubber from crumb tires is not just a waste treating method, but a possible solution for improving the durability of asphalt pavements compared to roads made of conventional bitumen. The following advantages are usually emphasised improved durability, longer life time, lower life cycle maintenance cost, […]
A Review on Fire Impacts on Concrete Structures
Concrete has been used as a construction material due to its versatile behaviour. It exhibits a high degree of fire resistance. The characteristic ability of concrete structures to combat one of the most devastating catastrophes can be attributed to its constituent materials which make it passive and have relatively poor thermal conductivity. However, concrete structures […]
New Design Criteria in Performance Based Earthquake Engineering
In order to increase the resistance of the building against earthquake effect in performance based design, the main objective is to select a performance target as design criteria and to design the structure to meet this target. In the nonlinear analysis with finite element method, the formation of the plastic hinge can lead to great […]
A Research on Affordable Housing
The need for achieving sustainability in social housing has been widely acknowledged in the literature and society in general. Housing problems occur both in rich and poor communities across the planet. The target of this research is to review housing problems which cause unwholesome environmental conditions. The tactic used could also be a review of […]
A Research on Concrete using Crumb Rubber and Round Crimped Steel Fibre
The research is aimed to study about the behaviour of concrete when crumbed rubber and Round crimped steel fibre is used in concrete. Round crimped steel fibre will give a better result as far as tensile strength on the concrete and by mixing it with the crumb rubber will be beneficial result in compressive strength […]
