Crowdfunding has emerged as a transformative method for financing innovative ideas, startups, and social initiatives by collecting small contributions from a large number of individuals. However, traditional crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter, GoFundMe, and Indiegogo rely heavily on centralized intermediaries to manage campaigns, verify transactions, and release funds. This centralized nature introduces several challenges, including high service fees, fund mismanagement, fraudulent campaigns, and lack of transparency in how collected funds are utilized. Contributors are forced to trust third parties without verifiable assurance that the raised funds will be used as promised. To address these persistent issues, this research presents the design and development of the proposed system eliminates the need for intermediaries by replacing traditional trust mechanisms with blockchain-based transparency, immutability, and automation. Smart contracts self-executing programs deployed on the Ethereum blockchain automatically enforce campaign rules, handle fund collection, and release funds only when predefined milestones are successfully achieved. This ensures that contributors' funds remain securely locked until project creators meet the specified conditions, thereby reducing the risk of fraud or misuse. The proposed DApp integrates IPFS for decentralized and tamper-proof storage of campaign-related information such as project descriptions, proofs of progress, and visual media. This approach guarantees data integrity and resilience against centralized storage failures or censorship. The frontend of the DApp is implemented using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Web3.js, providing an intuitive interface for both campaign creators and contributors. Metamask is integrated to enable secure blockchain interactions and transaction signing directly through users' wallets.

The seismic design of deep foundations requires accurate prediction of structural damage using the Performance-Based Seismic Design (PBSD) framework, which focuses on evaluating Engineering Demand Parameters (EDPs) such as Maximum Bending Moment (M(max)) and Peak Curvature (M(max)). This study conducts a comprehensive numerical investigation into the dynamic response of single piles and various pile group configurations (e.g., 2 x 2, 3 x 3) embedded in layered soil under seismic loading. The methodology utilizes the 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) via PLAXIS 3D to perform Time History Dynamic Analysis (THDA) with non-linear constitutive models, which is essential for accurately simulating complex Soil-Pile-Structure Interaction (SPSI) and the effects of dynamic pore water pressure generation in liquefiable strata. Review of existing literature confirms that while pile groups introduce significant Pile Group Interaction (PGI) leading to amplified internal forces (up to 192% in shear) compared to single piles, they can simultaneously lead to reduced vertical settlement. The foundation's performance is highly sensitive to variations in soil stiffness, damping ratio, and the specific characteristics of the earthquake record (duration, intensity, spectral content). Addressing a critical research gap, this project establishes an integrated parametric framework to simultaneously evaluate the combined influence of these variables across different pile group sizes. The results provide essential quantitative data to inform reliable performance-based design and vulnerability assessment for deep foundations in complex, seismically active geotechnical environments.

The Global upsurge in plastic waste generation, which accounts for more than 8 billion metric tonnes, calls for innovative recycling solutions. Recently, the construction industry has been searching for durable, low-maintenance, eco-friendly, and sustainable alternatives to traditional materials such as wood, which is subject to decay and leads to deforestation. This review synthesizes the existing literature to critically evaluate the feasibility of using recycled PET (rPET) as a feedstock for producing structural-grade plastic lumber. This can provide a dual-benefit approach to waste management and the green economy. Although plastic lumber utilizes high-density polyethylene (HDPE), rPET possesses superior mechanical properties, such as higher tensile strength and flexural modulus. This study thoroughly examines the material characteristics of rPET, prevailing recycling processes, and the performance of rPET-based composites in comparison with incumbent materials. This highlights that rPET lumber demonstrates significant promise but faces challenges related to impact resistance, long-term durability, and a lack of standardized structural design guidelines. This review also identifies critical research gaps, such as the need for long-term creep and fatigue data, optimization of hybrid composites, and site-specific life cycle assessments, particularly in the Indian context. The findings indicate that with targeted research and development, rPET plastic lumber can transition from a niche, non-structural product to a reliable, high-performance construction material, thereby advancing the principles of a circular economy.

The project investigates advanced seismic protection for medium-rise structures, specifically a G+5 Reinforced Concrete (RC) building, situated in high-risk zones such as Seismic Zone IV of the Indian Standard IS 1893. Traditional seismic design methods, which increase stiffness and strength, often lead to heavier members, higher costs, and increased seismic forces. This research focuses on utilizing Fluid Viscous Dampers (FVDs), a passive energy dissipation technology, to enhance seismic resilience. These dampers convert earthquake-induced kinetic energy into heat, providing substantial supplemental damping. The study employs the software ETABS to create a detailed analytical model, performing comparative analysis of the building's seismic performance with and without viscous dampers under design-level earthquake loads. Key engineering demand parameters (EDPs) such as inter-storey drift, base shear, storey displacement, and energy dissipation will be evaluated. The research aims to quantify the reduction in structural demands and establish a practical methodology for integrating dampers into medium-rise buildings in high-seismic region.
