The historical development of riverfronts sought to elevate the economic status and image of neighbouring cities during the industrial era. However, with the growing emphasis on riverfront revitalization projects in recent times, it has become imperative to prioritize environmental sustainability and ecological considerations in the planning and execution of these initiatives. This paper delves into the revitalization plans of the Sabarmati and Patna riverfronts in India, undertaking a comparative assessment of their development strategies and challenges encountered in ecological preservation. The study seeks to explore the interplay between the river and environmental concerns and analyse the positive impacts of ecological improvements on the social and economic dimensions of these urban waterfron...

This popular composite material is broadly used in different building typologies. However, the decaying of steel rebar due to corrosion is identified as a hindrance that can affect the quality of reinforced concrete structures. In reference to this, the glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar is essential because of corrosion-resistant properties. The researchers performed various tests and numerical analysis to know the response of GFRP-reinforced flexural members in shear and bending. Based on studies over the last decade, this study critically analyzes the response of flexural member reinforced using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. Understanding the behavior of the FRP bar as the alternating reinforcing material will be aided by this review. Since the GFRP bar has high strength and no yield point, the conventional characterizations of ductility may not be applicable ...
Comparative study of seismic Characteristics of diagrid Structural systems in high rise Construction

In case of high rise structures, the lateral load resistance is usually provided by interior or exterior structural systems. Adoption of diagrid structural system in high rise construction provides better structural efficiency in resisting lateral load along with flexibility in architectural planning. Such system consists of inclined columns on the exterior surface of buildings instead of closely spaced vertical columns in framed structures. This paper presents a comparative study of seismic characteristics of diagrid structural systems for multi-storey structures. The results based on numerical models indicate that these structures can address most of the present-day design requirements. The study aims to explore the applicability of diagrid structures in high rise structures, over the traditional construction systems. Numerical models and seismic characteristics of diagrid member...
Design of Short Columns Reinforced with GFRP Bars Subjected to Axial Loading

This results in issues related to aesthetics, function, and most importantly, the safety of the structures. Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) is the most commonly used material for construction where steel bars are used as reinforcement. Steel reinforcement in contact with the chemicals like chlorides and sulphates etc. which are very commonly present in urban and industrial areas and other aggressive environment, gets corroded, thus affecting the structural behaviour. Research studies propose replacing steel rebars with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars due to its non-corrosive properties. This paper presents the analysis and design of GFRP reinforced concrete columns. Present design methods mentioned in Indian Standard Code are not applicable to design GFRP reinforced RC columns directly. This study is an attempt to develop design provisions for GFRP reinforced concrete c...

A passive combination of concrete and steel reinforcing bar (rebar), this composite material is widely used in various types of structures. However, corrosion of steel reinforcement has been identified as a significant problem affecting the structural integrity of such concrete structures. In this context, the use of GFRP bars is gaining prominence due to their non-corrosive nature. This paper presents behaviour of flexural members reinforced with GFRP bars. The strength reduction factors and guidelines available with different codes for flexural members are studied. The design of flexural members reinforced with GFRP bars has been done using Indian Standard code parameters. The flexural capacity of the beams is estimated from the strain compatibility and equilibrium of forces. The theoretical and experimental results are compared. It is seen that designing the beams as an over-reinforce...
