Ensuring structural stability of these giant structures under all possible natural and human threats are vital as failures of such structures may cause a catastrophic human & property damages. Further, possible communication outages caused by failure of tower/towers in disaster situation are a critical as it may hamper rescue and other emergency operations. This was experienced by South and South East Asian countries during 2004 Tsunami. Hence, need of mitigating these situations have been highlighted by various reports. Therefore, ensuring structural integrity of self-supporting lattice towers under seismic forces is an essential and timely need. This paper discusses a seismic performance of four leg and three leg lattice towers under Response Spectrum analysis under different sub soil conditions. Results of seismic analyseshas also been compared with wind analyses results.","PeriodicalId":52513,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44005120","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}

The installation of ferrocement jacket is very easy; it does not require highly skilled labor to install. However, its’ installation is time consuming over the commonly used technique, like fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing. It also requires 4 weeks curing to achieve strong and dry surface. Therefore, although ferrocement jacketing is a very effective strengthening option for RC column, its’ use is not generally recommended for the existing structures. To overcome this limitation, this study presents a unique idea of pre-fabricated ferrocement jacketing system forstrengthening of RC column. It is hypothesized that pre-fabricated ferrocement jacketing system will ensure a semi-automated strengthening system where the jacket will be prepared in controlled environment (i. e. in prefabrication factory) with automated technology and then it will be installed in-place using nut-bolted connections. With the help of this semi-automated strengthening system, it will be possible to expedite strengthening activity of existing RC structures. It will also reduce the labor cost as the ferrocement jackets will be prefabricated in factory with the aid of automated construction system. Experimental results also show that theprefabricated ferrocement jacket is effective to strengthen concrete column.","PeriodicalId":52513,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44342116","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}

The results show that the double-layer buried horizontal SF-type liquid-storage tank is a composite multi-layer structure; thus, the dynamic responses of the inner layer, interlayer and outer layer are different under the same earthquake wave: the tank wall displacement of the interlayer is the maximum, whereas that of the outer layer is the minimum; the tank wall equivalent stress of the inner layer is the maximum, whereas that of the outer layer is the minimum; and the distributions of strain and velocity in the inner and outer layers are also different. The double-layer SF-type oil-storage tank has different dynamic response rules under the actions of the El-Centro wave and the Lanzhou wave. Compared with the El-Centro wave, the dynamic responses of the double-layer oil-storage tank are more significant under the action of the Lanzhou wave. The dynamic responses of the horizontal double SF tank are found to be closely related to the spectral characteristics of the seismic wave and exhibit different dynamic responses under different earthquakes.","PeriodicalId":52513,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41402013","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}

The behaviour of soil-structure interaction, with weak soil profile, on superstructure of 20, 25, and 30 storeys and rested on a pile raft was investigated and was found to have a significant effect on the buildings. It was found that the openings in the shear walls have a significant effect on the values of the settlement.

For gravity retaining wall exerted by cohesionless soil rotating outward about the base, based on Dubrova’s method of redistribution of pressure and forming mechanism of earth pressure, the distribution pattern of internal friction angle along the wall back was established for different displacements, and then, an improved method of calculating active earth pressure was proposed, which considers the influence of displacement. When the retaining wall is in an at-rest state, the distribution of earth pressure calculated in this paper is defined as initial active state earth pressure, and it is not equal to static earth pressure, because the retaining wall has a tendency of active displacement. As the wall movement develops, the mobilized internal friction angle of the quasi sliding surface increases gradually from the initial internal friction angle to the internal friction angle, and accordingly, the distribution of earth pressure at the intersection of the sliding surface and the wall back decrease gradually from the distribution of initial active state earth pressure in static state to that of Coulomb active earth pressure.","PeriodicalId":52513,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41588870","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}

A parametric study was carried out to examine the effect of the slope on the bearing capacity and the depth of geogrid layers under different eccentric loads. It was shown that the location of the eccentricity of applied load with respect to the slope face has a significant effect on the bearing capacity. This latter increase when the distance from applied eccentric load to the slope face also increases. Obtained results also showed that the bearing capacity of strip footing also depends on the inclination of ground surface in comparison to that predicted from horizontal ground.","PeriodicalId":52513,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42341778","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}
