The use of information and communication technology (ICT) has become integral part of our life in such a way that it is inevitable in every aspect of human Endeavour ranging from educational needs, social needs, commercial needs and above all security needs. As part of human capacity building many ICT centers employ youth to manned the centers sometimes twenty four hours daily serving customers in the developing world. The ICT centers in the developing world is now becoming center of attraction as youth engage themselves to seek employment, to chart with friends as well as to propagate social and political views among others..In addition ICT provide the youth with technical know how of architectural design in building thereby earning a lot of money from their clients. It also provides job opportunities for the youth where maintenance and repairs are being carried out by the youth. This paper focuses on the major role being played by ICT in the developing world and its contribution to human capacity building and job creation.","PeriodicalId":15693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":"47 1","pages":"174-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90903177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a study is conducted to evaluate the predictive accuracy of 6 empirical equations used in different Code of practice to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete slender beams. Empirical equations used in some Codes are identified to be superior to other equations. In addition, a study was also conducted to assess predictive accuracy of 17 empirical equations proposed in the literature by several researchers to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete slender beams. Among these 17 empirical equations some equations are identified to be superior to the other proposed equations. On the basis of experimental results of reinforced concrete beams having shear span to depth ratio a/d ≥2.5, empirical equations are proposed which include basic parameters i.e. concrete compressive strength, shear span to depth ratio and ratio of longitudinal reinforcement. The coefficient of correlation (COR) for proposed empirical equation for predicting the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams having depth d < 300mm and d ≥ 300mm without web reinforcement comes out to be 0.869 and 0.953 respectively.","PeriodicalId":15693,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering and Applied Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"967-971"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89529869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
