Vol 1, No 1 (2018): Need for Sustainable Architecture

Authors:-V. Raghuram

Abstract:-The paper detailed the concept of sustainable architectural design that has come to the forefront in the last 20 years. At the beginning of the environmental revolution damage to the natural system became a main concern. This concept recognizes that human civilization is an integral part of the natural world and that nature must be preserved and perpetuated if the human community itself is to survive. However terms such as sustainability or sustainable development became more often mentioned only during the last decade, due to scientific evidence that excessive exploitation of natural resources in parallel to the ever-growing polluting agents would lead to irreversible environmental destruction. By providing an awareness of the environment, values are taught that are necessary for the protection of the environment .From the study relating to Sustainable architecture and its relation to sustainable development, this paper identifies the principles of sustainable architecture and planning and clarifies the role of the public and professionals in reducing the impact of buildings on the environment.

Vol 1, No 1 (2018): “Analytical Investigation on Energy Absorption Transfer from Tensile to Compression Reinforcement in RC Exterior Beam Co

Authors:-Nambiyanna B, R. Prabhakara 

Abstract:-The beam column joint has been an area of research for the past couple of decades. In this study, the beam column joint was studied for monotonic loading and the interaction between the load increment and the stress developed in the tension and compression reinforcements was determined, this was observed that even the compression reinforcement plays a role in the load carrying capacity of the beam column joint under monotonic loading. It has been observed that as the diameter of the tension reinforcement increases, the load carried by the compression steel reduces. This also implies ductility of the tension reinforcement plays a major role in the load carrying capacity of the beam column joint.
