Abstract: Tall buildings are the tall structures widely used all around the world. These tall structures eliminate the space required for buildings in the horizontal direction. The structural and construction features differ considerably when compared to low risestructures. Severe structural damage suffered by several modern buildings like tall structures during earthquakes, which loses its strength and stiffness of a building. To overcome from the lateral loading failures, strong and stiff load resisting system is essential in tall buildings. This paper deals with the importance of providing of shear walls in resisting lateral loads in tall buildings. Experimental and analytical studies are carried out to assess the uses of shear wall in structural safety, serviceability and stability. An effective lateral load resisting system like moment resisting frame, bracing frame and bracing with shear wall frame is used in this study. The lateral storey drift is noted and compared with the analytical results with the help of E-TABS.

Abstract: Jabalpur is one of the most important cities of Madhya Pradesh and is located at the center of the State. The city is situated in the 'Mahakaushal' region. Narmada River flows through the entire district. The city is located between 23º10' North latitude and 79º59' East longitude. The central point of India is located in Jabalpur district. It has an average elevation of 411 metres (1348 ft.). Generally Engineer has to place his structure on soil and to some extent in the soil. This paper attempts to obtain the characteristics of soil of Jabalpur city using field soil tests and laboratory tests, to achieve this geotechnical bore logs are made for different locations. In this paper, I am showing bore logs of 10 locations. This bore logs will help designers in deciding which type of foundation and construction activity is to be carried out for particular project depending on the type of soil.

Keywords: Bore Logs, Soil Classification.

Abstract: This project deals with the aspects of improving the pavement which to subjected to failure. The cause of failure of pavement is volumetric mix design which causes cracking due to low temperature and liquid-binder specification. Superpave mix design method is designed to replace Marshall Method of mix design. It is a feasibility study on transition from Marshall Method of mix design to Superpave mix design. In super pave design, asphalt pavements are designed to resist thermal cracking and rutting under extreme temperatures. New procedures in the Super pave methodology have been developed to address these problems more effectively through the use of physical tests conducted under laboratory conditions by duplicating more accurate pavement loading and failure conditions in the field.
