First and foremost, I would like to thank the Almighty God for
giving me the power to believe in myself and achieve my goals.
I wish to thank Dr.K. MANONMANI, M.E., Ph.D., Principal,
Government College of Technology, Coimbatore for providing all the
necessary facilities and external resources.
I express my sincere gratitude to Dr.R. THENMOZHI, M.E., Ph.D.,
Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering (Structural
Engineering) for her valuable suggestion throughout the project
work.
I extend my gratitude to my Programme Coordinator Dr.R.
CHITHRA, M.E., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Civil
Engineering for the support and encouragement during this project.
I am greatly indebted to my guide Dr.M. RAMA, M.E., Ph.D.,
Associate Professor, Department of Civil Engineering for the
continuous guidance, constant support and giving valuable
suggestions to complete the project work.
I take immense pleasure to thank my parents for their constant
encouragement and support throughout the project work.
I extend my sincere thanks to all faculty members, non-
teaching staffs and my friends for their help and support in
