Geometrical Configuration

Student name: Anjali R. Palheriya

Academic supervisor: Assistant Professor K. Dabhekar

Abstract:
The development of nation is consider on the basis of development of infrastructure of the
nation. Now days the demand of long span bridge is increased to get the maximum crossway.
To get the maximum central span in bridges is a difficult task for the engineers. The bridge
with maximum central span can be achieve by using high quality materials and upgraded
technology in the innovative forms of the bridges. The cable-stayed bridge provide good
structural stability and suspension bridge has ability to provide longer span and thus
combination of above two structural systems can give very long span cable-stayed suspension
hybrid bridge. To investigate the behaviour and check the feasibility of this innovative form
of hybrid bridge, 280.5m central span and 130.9m side span cable-stayed suspension hybrid
bridge is considered for analysis. The suspension portion length in central span of the bridge
is also shows the important role in behaviour of the entire bridge with different geometrical
configuration of bridge. Paper also discusses results of modal analysis carried out using
SAP2000 v18.0.0. The time period of bridge is used to present the behaviour of bridge.

Student name: Megha D. waldey

Academic supervisor: Assistant Professor H. G. Sonkusare

Abstract: The communication among the structure, foundation and soil medium beneath the
foundation adjust the real conduct of the structure significantly than what is acquired from the
thought of the structure alone. Hence, a sensibly precise model for the soil structure
interaction framework for the computational legitimacy, efficiency and exactness is required
in enhanced plan of important structures, therefore in this present study makes an effort to
know the behavior of the structural building under the various soil condition hard rock,
medium sand and soft clay when the external force applied on it. By using response spectrum
method for the seismic zone IV as per the Indian standard code IS 1893-2016 part1 for fifteen
storey building. The analysis of the structure is carried out in Eatbs software. All the soil
parameters required which characterizes the order of soil are taken from IS code 1893-2016
part1, IBC code, FEMA 356, the foundation is taken as a spring constant to observe the
behavior of the structural building. It was observed that increase in the base shear and the
displacement of the structural building was increased from fixed to flexible support condition
and the response of the structure is obtained by using rectangular footing. A consistent
pattern was seen in percentage change of modal time period with expanding number of
stories.

RCC Framed Building
Student name: Akshay R. Nagpure
Project Guide : Prof. S. S. Sanghai (Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering)

Abstract:
Abstract: Diaphragms are required to be designed as part of the seismic force-resisting system of
every new building as they distributes lateral forces to the vertical elements of lateral force resisting
system. Concrete diaphragms consist of different element which plays an important role in resisting
lateral loads. It can be conventionally reinforced or prestressed, and can be cast-in-place concrete,
topping slabs on metal deck or precast concrete, or interconnected precast concrete. For analysis of
building structure, modeling of floor diaphragm plays important role. Diaphragms acts differently
according to the configurations of the building and type of load acting on it. So it will require different
methodologies to study their behaviors In this study, comparison of responses of building is done with
varying flexibility of the floor slab. Also the responses were compared when plan irregularities were
provided. In general, Floor Diaphragm Flexibility affects Base Shear of the Building, Column Forces, Beam
Forces but doesn’t shows considerable difference in Time Period and Storey Drift.

Project Title: To investigate the Temperature effects on curing of concrete containing silica

Student name: Mohit Manwatkar

Academic supervisor: Dr P.Y.Pawade

Abstract:

Steam curing is one of the recent developments in the construction field in order to gain early strength
of the concrete in comparison to normal curing. If the concrete develops considerable strength in its
initial and ultimate stage then Curing plays foremost important role and on the other hand large curing
time may lead to excess of cost of structure and sometimes may even lead to unexpected delay. Steam
curing is one of important tool due to which erection of the formworks can be done at early age and
can be used for other important works. Due to steam curing the hydration process takes place at rapid
rate and the double the strength in comparison to normal curing at 3 days and 7 days can be obtained.
In this project silica fume has been used as partial replacement in collaboration with cement and also
the comparative comparison was made between steam curing results and normal curing result.
The silica fume was added to concrete mix in
10%,12%,14%,16%,18%,20% by weight of total cementations material. It was observed that at a
particular dosage the strength conditions of the concrete achieved was very high weather it was
compressive strength, split tensile strength or flexural strength. Various parameters like elastic
modulus, toughness modulus and resilience energy was also improved due to addition of silica fume.
All the results obtained are thus presented in this study.

Student Name: Banugariya Nikunjkumar Dineshbhai

Academic Supervisor: Prof. S. S. Solanke (Asst. Prof.)

Abstract: While examining a multistorey building frame, routinely all the likely loads are
applied in the wake of modelling the whole building frame. In any case, practically speaking
the frame is developed in different stages. As needs be, the soundness of frame fluctuates at
each stage. As we look to the method of rate of the loading, the development of the frame
continues and some portion of the load is applied apparently, while the remaining piece of it
is forced on fulfillment of the frame. There will be a change in loads consideration in linear
static analysis in transient circumstance and consequently the results won't be appropriate and
palatable. Subsequently the building structure ought to be dissected at each phase of
development considering the load varieties. Finite element modeling considers the impacts of
sequence of construction resulting in improvement of finite element analysis. Here it is
termed as Construction Stage Analysis which considers all these constructional uncertainties.

This research deals with a two multistory reinforced concrete building frames of various bay
width and length, story height and number of stories utilizing Etabs 2016, trailed by the
sequential stage examination of each model. Likewise all full frame models are analysed for
various load combinations including wind loads having wind speed of 44 m/s. At last, a
relative comparison of Axial forces and Bending moments was done at each story for full
casing model and Construction stage model.The main observations were; (1) Axial force
increases in inner column, thus making it critical. (2) Deformations are underestimated in
lower floors while same are overestimated in upper floors. (3) Responses of the structure as
above clearly shows that results of axial force in columns are not same in both cases. This
will result into variation in required reinforcement for the column

Project Title: Feasibility Study of Metakaolin Concrete With And Without Steel Fibres On
Mechanical Properties of Concrete

Student Name: Mr. Pratik Balawant Shinde.

Guide Name: Dr. P.Y.Pawade

Abstract: The advances of concrete technology proved that the use of mineral admixture
such as Silica fume, Fly ash and Ground Granulated blast furnace slag are necessary and
essential for producing high performance and high strength concrete. In addition,
incorporation of these materials immensely helps to address environmental problem related to
damage being caused by extraction of raw materials, CO2 emissions during cement
manufacturing process and disposal of industrial waste by products.
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilization of metakaolin in
concrete as partial substitution is addition to cement due to its high pozzolanic activity. In the
present work an attempt has been made to study the suitability of metakaolin as a mineral
admixture and its effect on the mechanical properties concrete. Metakaolin was blended with
cement in various proportions to study the effect of strength on concrete. Concrete mixes
were made using Pozzolanic Portland cement alone as Control and also replacing cement by
5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of metakaolin and steel fiber up to 5%, 10%, and 15% for all. The
physical properties and compressive strength of concrete were measured. The fresh concrete
test was carried out to determine workability. The mechanical properties were assessed by
means of compressive strength, flexural strength of concrete mix with partial replacement of
cement by metakaolin and with and without steel fibres. The results obtained shows that at
15% replacement of cement with metakaolin have higher compressive strength as compared
to the other replacement levels. The maximum compressive strength attained was 42.95MPa
and 45.09MPa which is higher than the normal concrete strength i.e. 37.65MPa and
42.16MPa for 28 and 90 days respectively. Flexural strength was observed 8.27MPa and
8.87MPa for 28 and 90 days respectively.

STRENGTH OF CONCRETE

Student Name: Pankaj G Pandharkar

Academic Supervisor : Prof. S.S. SOLANKE

Abstract :

With the increasing demand and more consumption of cement in construction and improper waste
management, researchers are always in search of different cement replacing materials. Due to the vast
production of sugar cane in India, huge amount of sugarcane bagasse is being produced and which is a
waste product coming out of sugar industries. The high cost of building materials has made affordable
housing out of reach of the average citizen of the country. When other factors such as logistics and
high demand are added to the afore-mentioned, the eventual cost of finished Ordinary Portland
Cement (OPC) product is usually very high. This difficulty has led to inward sourcing of some local
wastes as alternatives to conventional materials in the construction industry.
In order to mitigate the problem mentioned above, especially in developing countries, various possible
alternatives to OPC is being considered along with other benefits that may accrue from these
alternatives. Several materials such as Rice Husk Ash (RHA) , Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA), lime,
Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA), volcanic ash, etc are in use in many countries .Sugarcane is one of
the major crops grown in over 110 countries, including India.
