Abstract

The electro-chemical characteristics of carbonyl compounds are historically of interest. The present paper is aimed at carrying out a methodical cyclic voltammetric investigation of the peak potential values of 4-methyl-3-vinyl quinoline-2(1H) one (MVQ) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) with tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as supporting electrolyte at glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with varying scan rate, concentration and pH. All the voltammograms showed only irreversible diffusion controlled reduction. Peak potentials vary linearly with the pH at all scan rates and concentrations.

Keywords

Cyclic Voltammetry, Electro-Reduction, Quinolone.

Abstract

Due to the scarcity of flat ground, buildings are constructed in the hill area with an irregular structural configuration having foundations at different levels. In this study, the seismic weight of regular building on flat ground is equated to that of the hill building. An analytical study was performed to compare the behaviour of these buildings. The dynamic response of hill building is compared with that of the respective regular building on flat ground in term of fundamental periods of vibration, mode shape, cumulative modal mass participation ratio, forces on member, plastic hinge formation, performance point, plastic hinge formation with base shear action induced in columns and beam of the respective building. From the analysis, based on the time period, modal mass participation ratio, force distribution and formation of plastic hinges in the column it is evident that the regular building on flat ground is flexible than the respective hill slope building.
