In engineering practice, settlement of foundations are experimentally determined or numerically modelled based on conventional saturated soil mechanics principles. The study area, Oferekpe in Abakaliki LGA of Ebonyi State, ...

This research work examined the reliability of the Nigerian grown Iroko and Mahogany timber species as column materials. The strength and physical properties of these timber species were determined to predict the suitability ...

The brittle behavior of older non-ductile reinforced concrete buildings such as shear-axial failure in columns can cause lateral instability or gravity collapse. Hence, the attempt is to assess the collapse potential through ...

A two-dimensional model is used to simulate temperature distribution, wind speed and pollutants dispersion within an isolated two-dimensional street canyon using SIMPLE algorithm in ANSYS Fluent version 16.2. The simulation ...

In the current study, the nonlinear behavior of the stiffened steel plate shear wall with diagonal stiffeners is numerically studied. After nonlinear pushover analysis, the finite element modeling results are compared with ...

Concrete mix stiffness (CM) primarily relies on its ingredients, which mainly consists of stone aggregate and mortar. To analyse the role of the components of CM on its properties a numerical simulation of CM structure is ...

Earthquakes are considered as one of the most significant natural disasters that can potentially cause significant damages to structures. Displacement of buildings' floors is one of the serious failures in structures caused ...
