All mosques need to be equipped with facilities for people with disabilities (PWD) in fulfilling with the requirements of the Malaysian Standard Code of Practice (MS) on Access of Disabled Persons. However, most mosques in Malaysia do not fulfil these requirements in terms of providing facilities for the PWDs. This adversely affects the PWDs to engage in the social and economic mainstream. The research aim is to classify the conformity of disabled facilities provided at Fi-Sabilillah Mosque, Cyberjaya in Selangor. The two research objectives were established (1) to identify the spectrum of disabled facilities provided at the Fi-Sabilillah Mosque, Cyberjaya in Selangor and (2) to determine the compliance of the disabled facilities as outlined in the MS. Purely qualitative methods were adopted in terms of visual study, audit survey and a semi-structured interview with the architect. A condition audit checklist was established using document analysis method on three main documents. The findings indicate 58% of the facilities are available and follow the MS, 13 % items were available but not comply with the standard measurement and 29% of the disabled facilities are not available within the mosque. Therefore, it can be stated that there is poor design, weak enforcement and lack of awareness among the stakeholder, local authority and the designer of the mosque regarding the disabled facilities. Therefore, enforcement is a priority to ensure the needs and right of the disabled user are considered in designing a mosque.

Irregular Buildings

Building structures are subjected to vibrations due to earthquake activity. There are many characteristics that induce irregularities in buildings. Apart from other reasons, these irregularities may be; many times; due to non-uniform distribution of mass, stiffness, or strength in the structure of the building. Due to such irregularities; buildings are subjected to some undesirable effects which make them weaker compared to regular buildings. Indian Standard code of practice IS 1893 – (Part 1): 2016 [1] details guidelines to be followed so that buildings are less and less irregular. Many times such guidelines may be the result of past studies of actual performances of buildings in seismic events. It is the intended purpose of this paper to bring a review of standard guidelines which are important for irregular buildings for preventing various typical damages to occur in seismic conditions. Typical examples of past damages have been provided to draw lessons.

Abstract In India, the experience in the use of concrete in housing is more than seven decades old. Concrete mix is a combination of cement, water and aggregates of sand and stone. The relative merits of using 33, 43 & 53 grades of cement in the nominal and design concrete mixes are studied, by testing to destruction hundreds of cubes, cylinders and prisms made using these three grades of cement, the concrete mix having been designed as per the relevant Indian Standard code of practice. The objective of this paper is to make awareness among researchers, engineers and the public about the latest scientific and technical developments in cement, and how to achieve economy in concrete. The foremost objective of concrete mix design is to hand-pick the optimum proportions of various ingredients of the concrete to satisfy the required properties in its fresh and hardened state. As per the investigation, if concrete mixes are designed for different grades adopting separately 33, 43, & 53 grades of cements, grade 53 gives the highest 28 days cube strength, whereas 33 grade cement gives the lowest value. The relative cost of using these three grades is also discussed in the paper.

The British Standard Code of Practice and other authoritative guides, recommend minimum rates of ventilation related to the size and use of rooms, and structural means for providing them. But the difficulty of measuring actual ventilation rates suggests that it is seldom done.

Compressive Strength Of Concrete

The testing of concrete for its desired strength after casting is one of prime activities quality control of civil engineering project executions. The concrete is chiefly tested for its compressive strength and then the results are compared or checked with the desired design strength. In the era of computers used in every spectrum of life, the testing of materials and its results calculations also needs to be programed for calculations, validations and data storage. The cell based software do provide ease of calculations but storage and retrieval of data is difficult in those software. The current study is an effort to develop a program the calculations of compressive strength of concrete and flexural strength of the concrete as per Indian Standard Code of Practice. The standalone customized software used in calculations gives accurate and consistent results. Also, the validations programed with logics avoid hazy manual interpretations of the regulatory provisions and gives accurate results.

Difficulties in applying the seismic design provisions of the
NZ Standard Code of Practice for General Structural Design and Design Loadings for Buildings, NZS 4203:1976, to multi-component petrochemical facilities lead to the preparation of the document: Seismic Design of Petrochemical Plants - Volume 1: Recommendations and Volume 2: Commentary. This paper explains the basis of that document. The philosophy
that is used provides for a consistent level of earthquake protection
to the various components of a petrochemical facility according to the importance of the component and the potential hazard associated with its failure. This is achieved by establishing design load levels based on assessed seismic risk and structure reliability. An important part of the philosophy is the minimising of seismic risk by the elimination or modification of potentially hazardous situations at the conceptual design stage. The derivation of basic seismic design coefficients from a
seismicity study of New Zealand is described and the analysis and
detailing procedures adopted in the Recommendations for structures and equipment in petrochemical facilities are discussed. Particular attention is given to explaining the application of capacity design principles to ductile structural forms.
