Prefabrication of Structural Elements: A CaseStudy

Bulto, Gutema (Addis Ababa University, 1998-06)

The back-log of housing units in Ethiopia was so immense that all efforts made by the Government and inhabitants could not wipe out the shortage of housing in the early 1980s. To promote the building industry and to ...
Evaluation of Approximate Methods for the Design of Biaxiall Y Loaded Reinforced Concrete Columns

Desta, Tefera (Addis Ababa University, 1999-05)

The ultimate capacity of reinforced concrete sections under normal force and biaxial bending moments can be represented by a three dimensional interaction surface in terms of the normal force and biaxial moments. The ...
Computerized AnalysisofFrames with Non-Prismatic Members

Takele, Samson (Addis Ababa University, 2002-04)
Optimal Design for Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Brigde

HaileMichael, Samuel (Addis Ababa University, 2002-06)

This thesis concerned with optimization of simply supported prestresed concrete box girder bridge. Usually, the design of prestressed concrete bridges is done based on codes on prestressed concrete bridges. The code ...
A Study on The Suitability of Local Steel Profiles for The Production of Steel Deck Reinforced Composite Slabs for Building

Redie, Rufael (Addis Ababa University, 2003-03)

Floor and roof slabs constructed using composite panels of steel deck and concrete in which the steel deck panels serve both, as formwork and reinforcement are the practice of developed nations. The steel deck manufacturers ...
Seismic Microzonation For Central Addis Ababa

Mengistu, Araya (Addis Ababa University, 2003-07)

This study is conducted to prepare seismic microzonation map to central part of Addis Ababa City. The basic method used is the observation and analysis of microtremors. The first effort was made by Ayele (2001) based on ...
Literature Review: Design of Structural Concrete Using Strut-Andtie Model and Application to Some Special Structures

Mohammed, Aziz (Addis Ababa University, 2004-09)

Through out history engineers have been looking for ways of designing structures that are simple and would accurately model real life objects. In order to achieve this, actual structures have to be modeled in such a way ...
Alternative Approach for The Analysis of Suspended Slab Panels Under Partition Wall Load

Seyoum, Thomas (Addis Ababa University, 2005-06)

Analysis techniques for most structural elements with different arrangement of externally applied loads are well developed and sufficiently covered with modern analysis theories. Further more, the application of today’s ...
Pedestrian Cable Bridges for Ethiopian Rivers

W/Semayat, Tsegaye (Addis Ababa University, 2005-07)

Infrastructure is one of the most essential elements of development for any nation. It is vital for the advancement of economic activities, communication, administration and social interaction of a country. Like most ...
Dynamic Analysis of Liquid Containing Cylinderical Tanks

Seyoum, Samuel (Addis Ababa University, 2005-10)

Liquid containing cylindrical containers are one of those sensitive structures affected by dynamic loads. These liquid containing structures are affected not only by the inertia xi effect of the shell alone but also by ...
A Computer Program for Elastic Analysis and Design of Steel Space Frame Structures According to Ebcs 3 1995

Tilahun, Tamrat (Addis Ababa University, 2006-09)

An application program shall be developed for the elastic analysis of steel space frame structures and design of the structure members. Matrix method for the analysis of the structure and EBSC 3 1995 specifications for ...
Behavior and Modeling of Semi Rigid Steel Beam to Column Connections.

Wondimu, Temesgen (Addis Ababa University, 2007-09)

In most steel frame designs the beam to column connections are assumed to be rigid or pinned. Rigid joints, where no relative rotation occurs between the connected members, transfer not only substantial bending moments, ...
Analysis and Design of Assembled Steel Truss Bridges

Tihitina Siyoum (Addis Ababa University, 2007-10)
Comparision of Prestressed Hollow Core Slab and Precast Concrete Beam‐Hcb Slab System

Shawel, Abebe (Addis Ababa University, 2008-01)

A prestressed hollow core slab element studied in this thesis is a precast prestressed concrete member with continuous voids provided to reduce weight and, therefore, cost and, as a side benefit, to use for concealed ...
Evaluation of Analysis and Design Results of Reinforced Concrete Walls Carried out using ETABS

Kassa, Wondimu (Addis Ababa University, 2008-03)

The use of commercial application programs is well established in the local structural design offices working in Ethiopia. Among the most widely used programs are SAP2000 and ETABS by CSI, California, Berkeley. User ...
Strength Evaluation of Existing Bridges

Bayou, Yonnas (Addis Ababa University, 2009-01)

A bridge must be inspected on regular basis to ensure public safety and to protect public investment. Bridge inspection program helps to identify the needs of bridges for repair, maintenance, preservation, reconstruction ...
Design and Cost Comparison of Reinforced Masonry and Reinforced Concrete Building Structures

Nega, Kalehiwot (Addis Ababa University, 2009-07)

Most building structures known to be constructed in Ethiopia and other many countries contain, by rule of thumb or knowledge, some proportion of masonry components. Despite this reality, the development of analysis and ...
Critical Comparative Feature Analysis of Structural Software (Sap2000 And Staad.Pro) and the Nature of their Pirated Counterparts

Makonnen, Letibeb (Addis Ababa University, 2009-07)

Being in the mist of the computer era, it’s hard even to imagine the challenges faced in the structural world when such software did not exist. In this ‘time is money’ world reducing the time for analysis and design of ...
A computer program for generating design charts of L-shaped short columns on the basis of EBCS 2 - 1995

Mohammed, Melaku (Addis Ababa University, 2009-07)

In this thesis a program is developed to generate design charts of L-shaped reinforced concrete column on the basis of EBCS-2, 1995. Design chart can be prepared for any cross-sectional dimension of columns with possible ...
Evaluation of The Effect of Shear Wall Arrangement in Dual Systems Subjected to Lateral Loads

Yoseph, Abel (Addis Ababa University, 2009-09)

Dual structural systems are still efficiently used by civil and structural engineers to address the public demand for residential buildings, schools, hospitals and office buildings. Furthermore, they are effective in ...
