PROJECT Dynamic analysis of structures - Investigation into analysis of raft foundation, M.Tech thesis work in 2001� Seismic analysis of plane and space frames were performed using SAP2000� Three different approaches viz. seismic coefficient method, response spectra method and time history analysis were used to apply seismic loading to the frames� Effects studied with respect to the variation of forces induced in the structure and in the pressure distribution diagram for the raftUse of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete as a construction material for rigid pavements, B.E. project work in 1999� Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete (PFRC) was made with different fiber percentage by weight and different tests were performed using various different specimens� Observed improvements in fatigue and impact strength of PFRC over PCC (Plain Cement Concrete)� Reduced thickness of rigid pavements
