This document summarizes an experimental study on using unseived stone dust as a replacement for river sand in cement mortar. Sieve analysis and physical tests were conducted on the stone dust and river sand. Mortar mixes with ratios of 1:3 to 1:6 were made with both stone dust and river sand to determine water requirement and compressive strength. The results showed that stone dust mortar requires slightly more water but achieves equal or higher strength compared to river sand mortar, especially for ratios of 1:4 to 1:6. The study concludes that unseived stone dust can be effectively used as a replacement for river sand in making mortar.
Experimental investigation was carried out to establish the feasibility of unprocessed stone
dust as fine aggregate in place of river sand which has become a scarcity now-a-days, by casting
cube and determining the compressive strength for the two grades of concrete M15 and M20. The
result obtained are compared with conventional concrete. It is concluded that compressive strength at
28 days of unprocessed stone dust used as fine aggregate in concrete gives 35% higher strength for
M15 and 4% for M20 grade concrete when compared to the reference concrete. The split tensile
strength of unprocessed stone dust concrete is 2.98 N/mm2
and 3.25 N/mm2
for M15 and M20 grade
respectively where as the reference concrete is 2.58 N/mm2
and 3.18 N/mm2
only. This investigation
has demonstrated that the unprocessed stone dust is equally good as fine aggregate like river sand
and hence can be used in making concrete

Background/Objectives: Cement is one of the sources for producing inexperienced house gases united ton of carbon dioxide is created with each one ton of cement production. Use of alternative materials will scale back this pollution downside. Methods/ Statistical analysis: In the present work Sugarcane pulp ash has been tried as another material for partial replacement of cement. Sugarcane bagasse ash is a by-product of sugarcane and disposal of that is making serious setting issues. In the present work, trails are created (with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) to value absolutely the quantum of cement that may get replaced by bagasse ash while not poignant the strength capabilities of the cast. Findings: Different tests such as compressive strength, flexure strength and split tensile strength are to be conducted on concrete for seven days and twenty-eight days natural process. Analysis of the results would give conclusions and inferences. Applications/Improvements: Outcome shows that for 15% substitute of cement by way of the SCBA strength is nearly enough the nominal force of the concrete.
Strength properties of concrete with partial replacement of sand by bottom ashAM Publications
Bottom ash is the ash left behind at the bottom of a boiler when coal is burnt. It constitutes to about 10 to 20 % of
the unburnt material or ash where as 80 to 90 % is recovered as fly ash. At present the bottom ash is disposed as a waste in
barren lands. In some countries it is used as a material for embankment construction in highways. The land filling causes
serious environmental issues. The research work carried out included an experimental investigation on strength properties of
concrete made with 10% to 50 % replacement of manufactured sand by bottom ash. The tests were carried out to find the
compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength on specimens.
Results showed that up to 30 % replacement of sand by bottom ash there was only marginal reduction in compressive
strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength.
The experimental works were carried out with manufactured sand and bottom ash confirming to zone II at various
proportions as fine aggregate in concrete. The study showed that bottom ash can be used along with sand in concrete with
comparatively low strength requirement.
Comparision of Strength For Concrete With Rock Dust And Natural Sand Concrete...IJERA Editor
The Quarry rock dust can be an economic alternative to the river sand. Quarry Rock Dust can be defined as
residue, tailing or other non-voluble waste material after the extraction and processing of rocks to form fine
particles less than 4.75mm. Usually, Quarry Rock Dust is used in large scale in the highways as a surface
finishing material and also used for manufacturing of hollow blocks and lightweight concrete prefabricated

An Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Plastic...ijtsrd
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world it is a mixture of cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water. Storage and safe disposal of industrial byproduct such as Waste foundry sand is major disposable item of metal casting industries and plastic bottle is a huge problem everywhere, reuse of these waste eliminates reduce the problem. Plastic bottles are a major issue of solid waste disposal. Several things which were invented for our convenient life are responsible for polluting environment due to improper waste management technique. One of them is plastic which has to be disposed or recycled properly to maintain the beauty of our nature. Polyethylene Terephthalate PET, PETE or polyester are routinely used for carbonated beverage and water bottles. This is an environmental issue as waste plastic bottles are difficult to biodegrade and involve processes either to recycle or reuse. In the Modern world, the construction industry is searching for cost effective materials for enhancing the strength of concrete structures. In this experiment fine aggregate is replaced 0 , 10 , 20 and 30 of its weight by foundry sand and course aggregate is replaced 0 and 5 of its weight by Plastic bottles in all concrete mix and there effects are studied.

Shear Behavior of Sand Reinforced with Plastic StripsEditorIJAERD
This research study presents the experimental work carried out to study the effect of plastic strips on shear
behavior of sand. Here, in this study sand has been used as base material and plastic strips as reinforcement material.
Small direct shear box applied as indicator test on sand in reinforced and plain/unreinforced conditions. Grain size
distribution tests and modified proctor tests were conducted on sand specimens in plain condition. In first attempt direct
shear tests were conducted under different normal stress conditions on representative specimens of sand in
plain/unreinforced conditions and various parameters of direct shear tests were considered. In second attempt sand
specimens were reinforced with random inclusions of plastic strips of different sizes and concentration of 0.1% and 0.2%
of the weight of dry soil specimen. Direct shear tests were repeated under different normal stress conditions as followed
in case of unreinforced conditions, and various parameters of direct shear tests were considered as followed in case of
plain/unreinforced sand specimens. Results of reinforced and unreinforced conditions specimens were matched. It was
observed that reinforced sand specimens yields better results than unreinforced sand specimens. An improvement in
angle of internal friction of sand was found as 16.67% with plastic strips dimensions of 6x15mm and at concentration of
0.2% of weight of sand specimen, so graphs of compression/dilation, shear stress and Mohr-Coulomb envelops of the

A Research on the Behaviour of Concrete by Partially Replacement of Cement wi...ijtsrd
We are well aware that the production of cement does a lot of harm to the environment. It includes tons of similar carbon emissions from other chemicals. Research has shown that every ton of cement output releases half a ton of carbon dioxide, so the need to regulate the use of cement is immediate. For example, Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash is hard to arrange on the hand materials squanders which is consequently ecological danger. The Bagasse debris gives concrete strong early cohesion, and also decreases cement porousness. During hydration, the silica present in the Bagasse debris reacts with concrete segments and gives extra properties such as chloride opposition, erosion obstruction and so on. Using Bagasse debris in concrete thus decreases the ecological pollution as well as improves the properties of cement and thus decreases the quality. This undertaking manages for the most part to substitute concrete with Bagasse debris in defined degree and to test the mixed cement on SCBA. The solid blend formed by fluctuating the Bagasse debris differential extent at 0 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent, 20 percent, 30 , 40 percent. The test result shows that the consistency of solid increases up to 10 per cent Sugar stick bagasse debris with concrete supplanting.

Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Local available SoilIJERD Editor
Cement, sand and aggregate are basic needs for any construction industry. Sand is a prime material
used for preparation of mortar and concrete and which plays a major role in mix design. Now a day’s erosion of
rivers and considering environmental issues, there is a scarcity of river sand. The non-availability or shortage of
river sand will affect the construction industry; hence there is a need to find the new alternative material to
replace the river sand, such that excess river erosion and harm to environment is prevented. Many researchers
are finding different materials to replace sand and one of the major materials is local available soil. Using
different proportion of this available soil along with sand the required concrete mix can be obtained. This paper
presents a review on the study of replacement of fine aggregate with local available soil with different
percentages (10%,20%,30%,40%,50% & 60%). Of all the trail mixes, the optimum replacement of soil with
sand was found to be 30%.

Utilization of Marble Powder in Making of Cement Concrete and Analysis of Its...ijtsrd
Cement clinker production is a high energy, resource intensive process that contributes significantly to annual global detrimental greenhouse gas emissions. Reduced clinker content in the manufacture of concrete by partial substitution of cement with supplemental cementitious materials is one possible technique to alleviate environmental difficulties or problems associated with cement based materials. Quarrying typically generates a large amount of waste. In general, processed quarrying production accounts for 30 of total stone removed, whereas waste quarrying trash and processing waste accounts for 70 of total stone extracted during this procedure. This wastage not only causes financial losses but also produces environmental issues, so in this experimental inquiry programme, we partially substitute the cement with marble dust in varied percentages, i.e. 0 , 5 , 10 , and 15 . In this project, we make concrete samples with varied mixes containing different percentages of marble dust. We execute several tests on these prepared samples, such as compressive strength testing, split tensile strength testing, and flexural strength testing. When we compared the test results of the prepared samples to conventional concrete, we discovered that with a partial replacement level of cement of up to 10 by marble dust, all physical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength increased.

BROAD UNEXPOSED SKILLS OF TRANSGENDER ENTREPRENEURSIAEME Publication
Since ages gender difference is always a debatable theme whether caused by nature, evolution or environment. The birth of a transgender is dreadful not only for the child but also for their parents. The pain of living in the wrong physique and treated as second class victimized citizen is outrageous and fully harboured with vicious baseless negative scruples. For so long, social exclusion had perpetuated inequality and deprivation experiencing ingrained malign stigma and besieged victims of crime or violence across their life spans. They are pushed into the murky way of life with a source of eternal disgust, bereft sexual potency and perennial fear. Although they are highly visible but very little is known about them. The common public needs to comprehend the ravaged arrogance on these insensitive souls and assist in integrating them into the mainstream by offering equal opportunity, treat with humanity and respect their dignity. Entrepreneurship in the current age is endorsing the gender fairness movement. Unstable careers and economic inadequacy had inclined one of the gender variant people called Transgender to become entrepreneurs. These tiny budding entrepreneurs resulted in economic transition by means of employment, free from the clutches of stereotype jobs, raised standard of living and handful of financial empowerment. Besides all these inhibitions, they were able to witness a platform for skill set development that ignited them to enter into entrepreneurial domain. This paper epitomizes skill sets involved in trans-entrepreneurs of Thoothukudi Municipal Corporation of Tamil Nadu State and is a groundbreaking determination to sightsee various skills incorporated and the impact on entrepreneurship.

For this study, Thirty-six non-clinical employees were selected from twelve randomly selected Health Care organizations at Thanjavur. Thirty-two fully completed questionnaires were received.
Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
