Effective placement of fluid viscous damper in irregular shaped reinforced concrete buildings

Corresponding Author : N. Ahmed (nirob.cee@gmail.com)

Abstract :

Damping has a significant task to diminish the reaction of the structures when exposed to sidelong loads like earthquake loads. There are a few kinds of dampers being used. Among them, Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVD500) is used in this study to evaluate the response of irregular shaped reinforced concrete buildings. Four types of buildings having plan irregularities, namely Box Shaped Building, C Shaped Building, I Shaped Building, and L Shaped Building, are analyzed with FVD500 at the Corners and Exterior…

Abstract :

Nowadays, while the globe is facing extreme difficulty with COVID-19, Artificial Intelligence can help to cope with this epidemic in an innumerable number of ways. Motivated by this, in this article, a robust prediction model has been proposed for pandemic COVID-19 using Sequential Deep Learning (SDL), called COVID-SDL to predict the total positive cases. The proposed model utilizes the correlation information among the features that have strengthened the prediction capability. In addition, to assist the prediction ability of COVID-SDL, ReLu…

Comparison of Pushover Curves of RC Frame and Shear Wall Structure

Corresponding Author : E. K. Das (emonkalyan.7@gmail.com)

Abstract :

Bangladesh is one of the most tectonically active regions in the world. It rests where three tectonic plates meet. Recent occurrences of several frequent minor tremors indicate that Bangladesh is at high risk of a devastating earthquake. Most of the buildings in Bangladesh are not constructed following current building codes and in the majority, seismic behavior is not taken into consideration. So, it has become quite vital to quantify earthquake risks and to develop a strategy that will be followed…

Grey-Taguchi Approach to Optimize Fused Deposition Modeling Process in Terms of Mechanical Properties and Dimensional Accuracy

Corresponding Author : M. A. B. Syed (asifbinsyed33@gmail.com)

Abstract :

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a process that allows for the rapid production of functional parts through the deposition of fused material layers in a sequential manner. FDM has flexibility and the potential to create complicated parts. This study aims to optimize the FDM process parameters in terms of tensile strength, flexural strength, and longitudinal shrinkage using the Grey-Taguchi approach. The input parameters chosen to study the effects on dimension and mechanical properties are layer thickness, the raster angle, fill…
