Title: Road Safety Measures in Urban Scenario - A Case Study in Bengaluru
Abstract
Road safety audit is defined as a formal safety performance examination of an existing or future road or intersection by an independent, multidisciplinary team. It qualitatively estimates and reports on potential road safety issues and identifies various measures for improving safety for all road users. The current scenario of urban road accidents in our country show that urban safety is in a critical state, emphasizing the need for a current urban road safety audit. This article examines the various factors that influence safety on urban road accidents, including human, vehicle, road, external environment, and other factors, and summarizes the implications and steps taken for an urban road traffic safety audit. This article explores the current state of road safety in Bengaluru, examining the various factors that contribute to accidents and identifying potential solutions to improve safety in the city's roads. Through an analysis of existing research and data, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities for improving road safety in Bengaluru, with the goal of reducing the number of accidents and saving lives. The selected area is from Uttarahalli Circle to Srinivaspura Road in Kengeri, a 7-kilometer stretch on Dr Vishnuvardhan Road, as it is a busy road connecting industrial, commercial, and educational areas and has mixed and heterogeneous traffic, leading to accidents. The audit has been conducted using the following guidelines of IRC SP: 88. Measures of road signs, markings, message signs, delineators, hazard markers, and traffic safety barriers have been done based on the requirements. In conclusion, significant measures need to be taken to improve roads safety and have them listed accordingly.
Key words: Accidents, Pedestrians, Environment, Road Safety, IRC SP:88.

Title: Study on Bacteria Based Self-Healing Properties of Bio-Concrete - An Overview
Abstract
The use of bacteria-based self-healing concrete has gained attention in recent years due to its potential to improve the durability and sustainability of concrete structures. This paper provides an overview of the research conducted on the self-healing properties of bacteria-based bio-concrete. The paper discusses the mechanism of bacterial self-healing in concrete, the types of bacteria used in self-healing concrete, and the methods used to introduce bacteria into the concrete. The paper also reviews comparative studies that evaluate the mechanical properties and durability of selfhealing bacterial concrete compared to traditional concrete. The results of these studies demonstrate that the use of bacteria in concrete can improve the self-healing capacity of the material, leading to better mechanical properties and a higher resistance to cracking and freeze-thaw damage. Furthermore, the paper discusses the potential environmental and economic benefits of using self-healing bacterial concrete. The self-healing capacity of the concrete can reduce the need for costly repairs and maintenance of concrete structures, resulting in lower costs and a reduced environmental impact associated with concrete production. Additionally, the use of waste materials as nutrient sources for bacteria can promote the circular economy and contribute to sustainable development. Overall, this paper highlights the promising potential of self-healing bacterial concrete to improve the durability, sustainability, and economic viability of concrete structures.
Key words: Cracks, Micro-Organisms, Strength, Water Absorption.

Title: Study of the Effect of Global and Local Ductility on High - Rise RCC Building in High Seismic Zone
Abstract
Numerous studies have been conducted on high-rise buildings, focusing on various aspects such as construction methods, building materials, and responses to seismic and wind pressures. In this paper, the influence of plan aspect ratio on the behavior of high-rise buildings is examined in detail. According to IS 16700:2017, the plan aspect ratio is limited to 5. However, in this study, the plan aspect ratio has been studied up to 6, and the behavior of high-rise buildings under seismic forces has been investigated. The building model has been constructed in three sets, each with varying heights. Building heights of 10, 20, and 30 stories have been selected for each group of buildings, respectively. For each set, seismic metrics, including ductility, stiffness, and base shear, have been compared, and conclusions have been drawn.
Key words: Global and Local Ductility, High- Rise RCC Building, Stiffness, Plan Aspect Ratio, High Seismic Zone.

Title:Estimation of Dependable Flow in River Baspa at Kuppa Barrage using Flow Duration Curve
Abstract
Estimation of dependable flow at different levels is considered one of the important parameters for planning, designing, and managing water-related projects, including hydropower generation, irrigation systems, water use, and river and reservoir sedimentation. For this purpose, the Flow Duration Curve (FDC) is developed by analyzing the available stream flow data at the site when adequate length of observed data are not available. The FDC is a valuable tool for determining the flow patterns of a river and estimating dependable flow. The FDC provides the percentage of time duration during which a stream flow (monthly, seasonal, or annual) is exceeded over a recorded period for a particular river or stream, which can be constructed by adopting the empirical method. By analyzing the FDC, the flow patterns of the Baspa river at the Kuppa barrage were determined, and the dependable flow was estimated. This paper presents a study on the assessment of monthly, seasonal, and annual dependable flow through the FDC by adopting an empirical method for the river Baspa at Kuppa barrage. The study suggests the dependable flow at different percentage levels like 75%, 90%, and 100% obtained from FDCs could be used for planning irrigation, hydropower, and drinking water projects in the study area.
Key words: Dependable Yield, Empirical, Flow Duration Curve, Hydropower, Stream Flow.

Title: Methodology for Teaching Anthropometry in the First Year Architectural Design Studio
Abstract
Architectural Education is a multifaceted field that integrates human values, sustainability, environmental factors, technology, and more into building design to satisfy human needs. It deals with human activities and the spaces required to perform those activities. Architectural design forms the core subject in architectural education and holds a place in every year of the five-year program, with increasing complexity and focus. The first year forms the foundation of the program, which focuses on basic design and anthropometry. Anthropometry, the study of human body dimensions and proportions, is an important domain of ergonomics that focuses on human-centered design. The aim of this research paper is to understand the relevance of anthropometry in design and develop a systematic process for teaching anthropometry in the first-year architectural design studio. The results conclude that the process should involve step-by-step design stages for the students to have a thorough understanding of anthropometry and its application in architecture so that they can design spaces of different typologies with the human being as the center of design.
Key words: Modular, Anthropometry, Architectural, First year, Design Studio.

With the enormous increase in Journals over the recent past and new models of publishing such as open access, and mushrooming of predatory Journals, researchers are at a crossroad over selecting the right Journals for publishing their research. This lecture “Selecting the Right Journal for publishing your Research” presented by Ms. Renisha Winston, Founder and Chairman of i-manager Publications, at Curtin University Dubai as part of Curtin Dubai Research Seminar Series on 27th February 2023 to the students and faculty at their campus, focuses on key factors to look in a Journal such as Relevance to research area, Journal’s reputation and Impact, Editorial quality, Years in Publication etc., and also highlighted on how to identify Predatory, Hijacked and Cloned Journals and pointers to take the right decisions in selecting the Journal. This lecture also narrowed down to Journals to avoid though indexed in Scopus or WoS, and Journals which are at a potentially high risk of removal. This lecture aimed at creating awareness among young researchers and contribute to ethical publishing.
