When the structure has been analysed under the effect of seismic activities, the main thing has been observed that we have only considered the efficient case, we have not considered the worst case. If there will be a provision of telecommunication tower over multistoried building in future and we have the worst location of tower position, we must do some measures to erect the parametric values and to stable it. In this research, what we did was we take total 5 residential apartment building cases of G+19 of different telecommunication tower location. After analysis, we found out the worst case, we have used the outrigger system and erected as discussed in graphical representations in discussion part. In conclusion, parametric result comparison noted down. Overall, it is observed that the Case TLA is very efficient among all the cases. Also, we have enhanced the property of worst-case TLC which is found by our result and discussion by implementing the outrigger system.

The Buildings, which appeared to be strong enough, may crumble like houses of cards during earthquake and deficiencies may be exposed. Experience gain from the recent earthquake of Bhuj, 2001 demonstrates that the most of buildings collapsed were found deficient to meet out the requirements of the present-day codes. Due to wrong construction practices and ignorance for earthquake resistant design of buildings in our country, most of the existing buildings are vulnerable to future earthquakes. Considering these facts, it is imperative to seismically evaluate the existing building with the present-day knowledge to avoid the major destruction in the future earthquakes. The present study deals with the evaluation of R.C framed buildings using inelastic method (P-Delta Analysis). P-Delta Analysis is Non-Linear Static Analysis, so the structural response is incorporate the additional response produced due to simultaneously action of lateral and gravity load on undeformed as well as deformed geometry. An overview of P-delta analysis procedures is presented first. Finite Element Software STAAD. PRO is used to perform the P-Delta Analysis and Variation is observed in response. A symmetrical regular RC frame building is analyzed using STAAD.PRO for the procedure development as per I.S 1893:2002 (static and dynamically). Then, Seismic Evaluation is performed on same modal for including P-Delta effects. The first part as without considering P-Delta effect and in the second part it is considered. The results have been compared for these three Analysis and necessity is suggested for incorporating the effect in general RC design practice and development of provisions in Indian standards.

In the last decades, microwave imaging has been a new area of research due to its many advantages over current imaging systems. Microwave imaging system is used for in-depth inspection of biological tissues. The test provides the identification of morphological changes in these biological tissues, as well as their locations. The emerging Ultra-Wide band (UWB) microwave imaging gives better result with the main advantage of using non-ionising radiation. In these systems, antennas play a very important role, and as such, their optimisation has become a very important topic because of the device is placed close to the human body. Thus, many aspects are of great importance in the design of the antennas starting from the material with which it is constructed, its dimensions, operation bandwidth, human body influence on the antenna parameters, short-pulse propagation, etc. Recent research has shown several efforts in improving the electromagnetic sensors used in these systems, either as individual or array elements. In this paper, we provide an overview of the most relevant developments in the field of UWB high directivity sensors used in microwave imaging systems.
