Construction material subjected to repetitive or cyclic loading have to be qualified for their fatigue behaviour. Generally their behaviour is considered satisfactory if they withstand two million cycle of repetitive loading without distress or failure at that required mean stress level and range stress.

Fiber Reinforced Concrete can be defined as a composite material consisting of mixtures of cement, mortar or concrete and discontinuous, discrete, uniformly dispersed suitable fibers. Continuous meshes, woven fabrics and long wires or rods are not considered to be discrete fibers.
Fiber is a small piece of reinforcing material possessing certain characteristics properties. They can be circular or flat. The fiber is often described by a convenient parameter called aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of the fiber is the ratio of its length to its di ....etc

DUCTILITY DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE APARTMENT BUILDING


ABSTRACT
Among the three basic need of human being shelter is one of the important features. The study of project deals with the effect of earthquake on the structures and their environment & also the method of reducing its effort.
A number of naturally occurring disasters as earthquake are capable of causing death injuries & damage of properties. These natural hazards causes tremendous the losses ....etc

CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT as the title suggests this type of pavement is reinforced throughout in longitudinal direction. This type of pavement has no transverse joints unless and until there is end of pavement or the pavement comes in contact with some other pavement or bridge. A longitudinal joint exists only if the road is wider than 14 feet. Due to reduction of joints smooth and continuous riding is possible resulting in fuel saving. Also CRCP roads are maintenance free if properly constructed and care is taken while placeme ....etc

BAMBOO REINFORCED CONCRETE

INTRODUCTION


Bamboo has been used as a construction material in certain area for

centuries. A study of bamboo is used as a reinforcement in precast concrete

elements was carried out in U.S Army Engineer Waterway experiment station in 1964.

Bamboo was given recent consideration for use as reinforcement in soil cement

pavement slabs in which the slabs behave inelastically even under light loads.

BAMBOO CHARACTERISTICS

Bamboo is giant grass not a tr ....etc

Ductility Design of Reinforced Concrete Apartment Building



DUCTILITY

Ductility can be defined as the “ability of material to undergo large deformations without rupture before failure”.
The property of the material or a structure indicating the extent to which it can deform beyond the limit of yield deformation before failure.
The ratio of ultimate to yield deformation is defined as ductility.


Necessity of Ductile detailing as per IS 13920:1 ....etc
