Abstract: A 144 m × 60 m factory building (which is the largest span in India using cold-formed steel sections) was constructed at Cochin, India. The building is made up of portal frames spanning 60 m and placed at 6 m intervals. ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the renovation of a factory building in Nellore, India. The plan dimensions of this building are 25.7 × 52.5 m. It has concrete columns and the roof is made up of Pratt trusses with hot-rolled steel ...

Abstract: The very rapid increases in telecommunication and advancements in the field of communications technology have resulted in many different structures to support antennae. Exponential growth in cellular telephone networks has ...

Abstract: In gas turbine combustion the gas dynamic and chemical energy release mechanisms have comparable time scales, so that equilibrium chemistry is inadequate for predicting species formation (emissions). ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on the strengthening of rectangular timber beams under monotonic loading. Both flexural and shear behavior of the specimens was studied. A total of five timber beam specimens with ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation aimed at retrofitting hot-rolled steel (HRS) channels using cold-formed steel (CFS) sections. Six simply supported specimens were tested under four-point monotonic loading. ...
