    Experimental investigation of RC frames using CFRP sheets
    (2013) Prashanth, M.H.; Babu Narayan, K.S.; Venkataramana, K.; Sajith, M.
    Reinforced Concrete frames are the main load resisting systems used in practice all over the world. These frames will be subjected to sway, due to lateral loading most of the times by either earthquake or wind. Ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the frame are the key parameters for better performance under the action of the sway loading. Retrofitting using the new generation material such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic sheets (CFRP) shows much enhancement in these properties of laterally loaded frames. Frames subjected to lateral loading introduce collapse mechanism due to the formation of the plastic hinges at critical hinge locations. An experimental investigation of partially and fully CFRP wrapped reinforced concrete (RC) frames when compared to conventional(bare) frame has been carried out, to bring out the importance of critical engineered locations to be wrapped. © 2013 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

    Studies on the dynamic characteristics of monolithic RC wall panels
    (2013) Amitha, S.B.; Chethan, K.; Bhavanishankar, S.; Annapurna, B.P.; Venkataramana, K.; Ramesh Babu, R.
    Monolithically built RC wall panels permits for the industrialized construction of a group of integrated buildings using mechanized, rationalized and mass-production procedure. This is a unique, fast and economical technique. Most of the national and international codes comprise of a brief design procedure of this type of construction. Lot of research is being carried out worldwide about the effect of dynamic loads on these structures. In this paper, FE analysis is done on a designed typical monolithic RC wall panel structure for all zones as per Indian code and the results are compared with different international codal provisions and the formulae presented by Saheb & Desayi and Doh & Fragomeni. This paper consists of background, design and construction of monolithic RC wall panel, FE analysis and comparison of results. © 2013 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

    Effective configuration of perforated baffle plate for efficient slosh damping in liquid retaining tanks under lateral excitation
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2022) Nimisha, P.; Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Venkataramana, K.
    Perforated baffle plates are used as an anti-slosh mechanism in various fields owing to the need for slosh suppression and weight reduction. However, there is an uncertainty in the selection of configuration of perforated baffle plate due to the several influencing parameters for slosh damping efficiency. Therefore, the present study focuses on the development of an efficient slosh damping configuration for the perforated baffle plate. For this, nonlinear dynamic analysis under seismic ground motions with different PGA/PGV ratios has been carried out in the time domain using the concepts of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the numerical models of liquid tanks with perforated baffle plates of different configurations. The response of the system under impulsive and convective modes is analysed by observing the free surface elevation, hydrodynamic pressure, turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence eddy dissipation as the response parameters. The study developed an effective baffle configuration for efficient slosh damping, considering the various response parameters. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
