–The maintenance of pavements and particularly for flexible pavement is an essential requirement for the efficiency of highway network. For better serviceability, flexible pavements require more maintenance as compared to maintenance required for rigid pavements. But developing counties like India does not have sufficient budget or funds to satisfy the requirements. The maintenance & rehabilita...

Introduction This project focuses on research into some of the fundamental issues underlying the design for manufacturing, service and recycling that effect engineering decisions early in the conceptual design phase of mechanical systems. I am investigating a systems-based approach to material selection, manufacturing methods and assembly processes related to overall product requirements, perfo...

Of all human-induced dynamic excitations, such as jumping, bouncing/bobbing and swaying, dynamic loads induced by humans walking and running are the least understood and most complex to deal with. This is because they change simultaneously in time and space, being random in nature and varying considerably not only between different people but also for a single individual who cannot make two ide...

The last few decades new trends in the design of pedestrian bridges have resulted lighter and more slender structures. This leads to a reduction natural frequencies increased flexibility, thus greater possibility for structures become exposed excessive vibrations caused by pedestrians. lager amplitudes occur if pace frequency excitation load approaches one footbridge. vibration high proportions...

Knowledge on the short and long term deformation behavior of highly loaded components in tall timber buildings is important view improving future design possibilities with respect to serviceability, both construction operational state. In this paper, we present results a monitoring case-study timber-hybrid building Switzerland, 15 storey 60 m high office completed 2019. A fibre-optic measuring ...
