Analysis of structures is essential to
check the response of the structures under applied loads.
Without structural analysis, it is impossible to say
something about the response and capacity of a structure
under applied loads. Different methods are available for
structural analysis and their use depends upon the
importance, sensitivity of structural loads and nature of
the structure. In this book all possible efforts have been
made to analyze the indeterminate structures like Beams,

The objective of this book is to provide an experimental investigation on the properties of fiber reinforced concrete consist of natural fibres like coconut coir and also steel fibres were used for comparison in both Normal Strength Concrete (NSC) and High Strength Concrete (HSC).This investigation was carried out using several tests, which included workability test, compressive strength test, indirect tensile strength test, flexural strength test. A total of ten mix batches of normal strength concrete and high strength concrete containing 0%, 0.5% and 1.0% fibre volume dosage rate on coir...

Bangladesh is a tropical country and receives heavy rainfall during the rainy season. The average rainfall in the coastal region is more than 3000 mm, against an average rainfall of about 2400 mm in Bangladesh. In the coastal district, high salinity in surface and ground water and rainwater harvesting for drinking purposes is a common practice in a limited scale for a long time. In the present context of arsenic pollution of shallow ground water aquifer, rainwater harvesting is being seriously considered as an alternative option for water supply in the arsenic affected areas. There is...
