Antibacterial Cement Additive: A Protective Approach Towards Construction by Barsha Dash in Crimson publishers : Open Journal of Civil Engineering Water is life. All the living creatures starting from human to tiny microbes needs water for their growth. In our daily life we need water for all household work, personal hygiene and above all for drinking. There is a paramount need for ecologically as well as economically sustainable technologies which can sanitize the human pathogens present in municipal water supply and other sources of water like ground or surface water. If the water bodies are contaminated or the source water is carrying fecal contamination, Coliform organisms and E. coli are found which imply health risk to the population consuming the water due to the presence of pathogens accompanying the coliform bacteria. Apart from bacteria other organisms like virus, algae and fungi or yeast are commonly found and some of them have high survival rate. https://crimsonpu...

Elastoplastic Analysis Methods and Capacity Curve Developing Features by Ivanov A Yu in Crimson Publishers : Open Journal of Civil Engineering Present-day earthquake engineering practice use to apply for seismic performance evaluation of buildings nonlinear static pushover analysis which is represented by now in various modifications. These modifications consider different analyzing conditions, structural characteristics or depend from some engineer preferences and judgements. But all of these nonlinear static analysis methods implies the capacity (pushover) curve generation for estimation the performance point which characterize the building response due the seismic excitation. For capacity curve developing structural engineers are eligible to use any adequate instrumentation that describes inelastic behavior of a structure in appropriate way. However, the appearance of pushover curve generated by the most commonly used structural analysis software is often not clear enough, conta...
