A Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) must have fluidity, passing ability and resistance to segregation. Class F fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag from thermal power plant and M-sand have been used for manufacture of concrete. Superplasticizer type glenium SKY 8630 is used. In addition to this, steel fibers have been added. The concrete mix has been designed using EFNARC guidelines. The workability of the test concrete is measured using slump flow and V-funnel test and strength properties are measured through compressive strength test. The results showed that increase in percentage of superplasticizes resulted in lower strength. As the concrete uses fly ash, gain in strength is slow. The compressive strength of test concrete was found to be less than target strength.

The second paper, "Fine Aggregate Replacement with China Clay-Based Concrete: A Strength and Durability Study", by J Saravanan and M Sabarirajan, studies properties change of concrete using china clay as a constituent. The authors have used waste china clay to replace sand aggregate in concrete manufacture. The test concrete used cement, sand with partial replacement of china clay, coarse aggregate and water. The grade of concrete adopted was M30 and water-cement ratio was 0.45. The results indicated that a 20% replacement of fine aggregate with china clay, which is an industrial waste, increases the compressive strength to about 24%, and any further increase in china clay waste decreases the strength of test specimen as compared to control specimen. Increase in the use of china clay waste resists water absorption in sorptivity test and in rapid chloride penetration test. The test encourages use of china clay which is an industrial waste fine aggregate for partial replacement of sand for producing high strength concrete.

The third paper, "Relative Performance of Multistoried RC Buildings with Reduced Wall Densities", by P Markandeya Raju, S S Bhanu Sai Kumar and M Pavan Kumar, studies the behavior of multistoried building with reduced wall densities. The study compares the performance of multistorey buildings using brick infilled walls and precast walls. The type of building considered here is a six-storey high structure. The analysis used 3D STAAD Pro software with various combinations of loads. The parameters used for comparison are reduction in total weight with use of precast walls as compared with brick filled walls, development of total shear at base and maximum horizontal deflection. In the performance of multistoried building with precast panels of different densities, the percentage reduction in load due to walls on foundation decreased as the density of the panel increased. Base shear was observed to increase with increase in densities of walls. The total available carpet area in the building increases with use of precast walls as compared to brick walls as it takes more space. With decrease in density of wall, no appreciable change in the volume of concrete was observed but quite significant saving in steel was observed.

The fourth paper, "Performance Evaluation of RC Haunch Beam Frame with Shear Wall", by Pallavi K Naik and Manjunath M, studies the behavior of reinforced concrete haunched beam frame with shear walls. The study focuses on understanding its performance with and without shear walls. For this study, a 25-storey RC frame building is considered. The structural analysis used ETABS-2015 software. For seismic loading, both X and Y components of the earthquake motion are considered separately and building is assumed to be located in seismic zone III and soil considered is of medium type. The results indicated that as compared to prismatic beam members, haunched beam with or without shear walls showed reduction in base shear. Haunched beam members with or without shear walls showed increase in storey displacement as compared to prismatic beam members. Frames with prismatic beams have lesser modal time period and higher frequencies as compared to frames with haunched beam, and frames with shear wall have lesser modal time period and higher modal frequency as compared to frames without shear walls. The base shear value is higher for the pushover analysis as compared to equivalent static method and response spectrum method of analysis. Ductility and damping ratios of frames with haunched beam with and without shear walls are less than the frame with prismatic beam with and without shear walls.

The last paper, "Inelastic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames", by Jaiswal U N and Mohd. Zameeruddin, has performed inelastic analysis of reinforced concrete frames. The authors have used performance-based seismic evaluation with nonlinear static analysis pushover technique on various frames. For analysis, SAP2000 software was used. The study observed that uniform lateral load pattern yielded upper bound values, whereas IS code: 1893 lateral load pattern yielded lower bound values. The authors have found that performance-based seismic design methodology has emerged as the best alternative for perspective seismic design.
