Concrete is a synthetic construction material made by mixing of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregate and water in the proper proportions. Recycled waste tyre rubber is a promising material in the construction industry due to its lightweight, elasticity, energy absorption, sound and heat insulating properties. One such application that could use old rubber tires is rubberized concrete. Concrete can be made cheaper by replacing some of its fine aggregate with granulated rubber crumbs from used rubber tires. The main objective of the project is to increase the compressive strength of concrete by adding waste materials. Develop test information that may aid in the eventual goal of drafting a practical rubber in concrete specification for non-structural / low loading usage. Evaluate possible advantages of using crumb rubber in concrete including: resistance against cracking, reduction of thermal expansion and contraction, and lightweight concrete.

According to global cement magazine, each ton of cement produced releases about the same quantity of Co2. During the production of cement energy is consumed and consequently Co2 is emitted to the atmosphere. There is a need to understand the nature of energy utilization in embodied energy in buildings and maintenance, since developing countries like India have limited energy resources vis-a-vis the large population. Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problem. Hence the reuse of waste material has been emphasized. Waste can be used to produce new products. Green concrete concept of thinking environment into concrete considering every aspect from raw materials manufacture over mixture design ,construction, and service life. Green concrete is very often also cheap to produce ,because for example ,waste products are used as a partial substitute for cement ,charges for the disposal of waste are avoided energy consumption in production is lower ,and durability is greater.

Height of the building has now become the primary point of focus of today’s world. Since buildings are getting taller and slender the primary concern of design engineers is shifting from gravity loads to lateral loads. The effect of lateral forces becomes more and more dominant as the building becomes taller and taller. These lateral forces can produce critical stresses in the structure, induce undesirable stresses and vibrations or cause excessive lateral sway of the structure. In this project a, G+16 storey building, along with shear wall and two different types of bracing is considered for analysis. The performance of building will be evaluated on the basis of following parameters –Storey displacement, Storey drift, Base shear. In this work, the shear walls and bracings are provided at corner with the overall analysis to be carried out using ETABS software.

Earthquake is the natural calamity, it produce strong ground motions which affect the structure. Small or weak motions that can or cannot be felt by the humans. Provision of shear walls and bracings are installed to enhance the lateral stiffness, ductility, minimum lateral displacements and safety of the structure. Story drift and lateral displacements are the critical issues in seismic design of buildings. Three types of frame models are developed and evaluated by static analysis by ETABS. In the present work G+24 multistory building is analyzed by using shear wall and bracing .Main purpose of this study is to compare the seismic response of the structure.

This paper proposes improved version of existing salp swarm algorithm (SSA) using recently developed opposition-based learning method called parallel mirrors technique (PMT). The improved version of SSA i.e. PMT-SSA is tested on 7 unimodal and 6 multimodal mathematical benchmark functions. The developed algorithm is further applied to solve economic load dispatch problem in power system. The results compared with SSA algorithm verify the superiority of PMT-SSA in solving optimization problems.
