Small segmental portion of circumference of cylindrical sections was considered as width of composite laminate and of metallic plates, necessary to accommodate 5 rows of fasteners in transverse direction with specified pitch distance. Bolted radial joints between carbon epoxy helical wound flat laminate and 15CDV6 steel plates were realized with 8 numbers of steel fasteners distributed in 3 longitudinal and 5 transverse rows at each joint. Helical angle of winding, length and thickness of carbon epoxy laminate was ±22.5°, 458mm and 11mm respectively. Length and structural thickness of radial joints, total length and width of assembly test specimen were 98mm, 18mm, 870mm and 169.43mm respectively. Joints were tested under uni-axial tensile load up to failure. Joints failed at 18 tonnes (1.7 times of design load). Failure mode was observed as initiation of bearing failure at all 8, countersink fastener holes in laminate and shear out failure at edge hole. Strains in fibre direction, at 45°and at transverse to fibre direction were found very less. Maximum compressive strain and residual strain, near fastener holes were found as -1423 and -136 micro strain respectively. Test was successful.

This document provides a bonafide certificate for a project report on the study of mechanical properties of eco-friendly economic concrete. It certifies that the project was conducted by three students, M.Vineeth, Y.Boopathi, and P.Murali, in partial fulfillment of their Bachelor of Engineering degree from Kongu Engineering College. The project investigated replacing natural aggregates with steel slag aggregates and M-sand to produce more sustainable concrete. Tests were conducted to determine the compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity of concrete mixes with varying replacement levels.
The document describes an experimental investigation into the properties of concrete with different replacement percentages of natural aggregates with manufactured sand and steel slag. The methodology involves collecting cement, fine aggregates (natural sand and m-sand), coarse aggregates, and steel slag. The mix design for M20 grade concrete is calculated and concrete specimens are cast. The specimens are cured and then tested to determine their mechanical properties. The results are compared to those of conventional concrete to evaluate the suitability of manufactured sand and steel slag as partial replacements for natural aggregates in concrete.
The document discusses two methods for mesh refinement - the p-method and h-method. The p-method increases the order of the polynomial used in the finite element model, allowing for more accurate results without changing the mesh. The h-method reduces the size of elements to create a finer mesh, better approximating the real solution in areas of high stress gradients. Both methods aim to improve the accuracy of finite element analysis results, with the p-method doing so without requiring changes to the mesh.
This document provides guidance on using epoxy injection to repair cracks in concrete structures. The method involves drilling holes along cracks, injecting epoxy under pressure, and allowing it to seep into the cracks. It can repair cracks as small as 0.002 inches. Epoxy injection requires skilled workers and specialized equipment. While it can effectively repair cracks temporarily, the underlying issues causing the cracks may remain if not addressed.
An embedded system is a dedicated computer system that performs specific tasks. An important application of embedded systems is anti-lock braking systems (ABS) in automobiles. ABS uses sensors and electronic control modules to monitor wheel speed and automatically modulate brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and maintain steering control during emergency braking. By preventing skidding, ABS can help drivers stop more safely and shorten stopping distances on wet or slippery surfaces compared to standard brakes. ABS works by pulsing the brakes rapidly when it detects a wheel is about to lock up, which allows the wheel to continue turning and maintaining traction with the road.

PIPES FOR UNDER DRAINAGE
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted hy the Indian Standards Institution
on 20 October 1967, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete
Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering Division
Council.
0.2 Concrete porous pipes are commonly used for under drainage work
in infiltration, galleries, reclaiming water-logged areas and similar other
purposes. This standard has been prepared with the object of providing
guidance to the manufacturers and users in obtaining porous concrete pipes
capable of giving satisfactory service.
0.3 When porous pipes are to be used for under drainage work in injurious
soils they may have to be manufactured from sulphate-refisting cement of
high alumina cement, and in such cases the purchaser will have to speci-
fically indicate his requirements ( see 3.1 ) along with other information to
be supplied under Appendix A for guidance of the manufacturers.
0.4 This standard contains clauses which permit the purchaser to use his
option for selection to suit his requirements and also require the purchaser
to supply certain technical information at the time of placing orders ( see
Appendix A ). The relevant clauses are 3.1, 4.1.1,4.2, 4.3.1.1 and 8.2.
0.5 In the formulation of this standard due weightage has been given to
international co-ordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard lays down the requirements for porous pipes made of
concrete for use in under drainage. The requirements cover pipes ranging
from 80 mm nominal internal diameter to 900 mm nominal internal diameter

6.2.2.1 The rate of infiltration for porous pipes with non-porous inverts
shall be not less than half the values specified in 6.2.2 for porous pipes.
6.2.3 The manufacturer shall regularly carry out infiltration tests on
specimens corresponding to the pipe manufactured and shall provide suffi-
cient proof to the purchaser that the pipes supplied satisfy the porosity test.
However, if the purchaser desires to have porosity test carried out on any
sample, the cost of the pipe shall be borne by the purchaser unless otherwise
agreed to between the purchaser and the manufacturer.
6.3 Load Test - The pipe to be tested shall be placed centrally between,
and with its longitudinal axis parallel to, two hard unyielding bearers of
150 mm width, with rubber packing 150 mm wide and 25 mm thick between
the bearers and the pipe ( see Fig. 3 ).
6.3.1 The load shall be steadily and uniformly applied, starting from zero,
at a rate not exceeding 165 kg/m length of pipe in 10 seconds. The pipe shall

support without any sign of failure for at least one minute a minimum
load specified in 6.2.1.
6.4 Infiltration Test - The porous pipe to be tested shall be thoroughly
cleaned before testing to remove dust and dirt particles likely to reduce the
porosity of pipe. The water used for testing shall be free from suspended
impurities.
6.4.1 The pipe shall be fixed horizontally in a test tank with each end of
the pipe protruding through $e. tank as shown in Fig. 4. A water-tight
seal shall be made between the sides of the tank and the pipe with putty,
plasticine or other sealing material. The tank should have some arrange-
ment of removable ends so that, for testing different diameters of pipe, it can
be dismantled and re-erected with two ends having holes of the right size to
take the pipe to be tested.
6.4.2 The test tank shall be filled with water completely immersing the
porous pipe. The head of water in this tank shall be maintained throughout
the test at 50 mm above the pipe. Fig. 4 shows diagrammatically one method
by which the water can be made to flow back through an overflow pipe
from the test tank into a reservoir tank when the specified head of water is
reached in the test tank and maintained by adjusting the flow. The water
flowing from the collecting tank will then be diverted through the two-way
control valve into the measuring tank for the specified time. The amount
of water in litres per minute filling the measuring tank divided by the
effective length in metres of that part of the porous pipe through which
water can percolate, shall give the rate of infiltration of the pipe as specified
in 6.2.2.
7, MARKING
7.1 The following information shall be clearly marked on each pipe:
a) Date of manufacture, and
b) Name of manufacturer or his registered trade-mark or both.

11. IS:4350-1967
7.1.1Each pipe may also be marked with the ISI Certification Mark.
NOTE-The use of the IS1 Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act, and the Rules and Regulations
made thereunder. Presence of this mark on products covered by an Indian Standard
conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the requirements
of that standard, under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and quality control
during production. This system, which is devised and supervised by IS1 and operated by
the producer, has the further safeguard that the products as actually marketed are
continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to the standard. Details of conditions, under
which a licence for the use of the IS1 Certification Mark may be granted to manufac-
turers or processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

8. DELIVERY, INSPECTION AND TEKfING FACILITIES
8.1 The purchaser or his representative shall at all reasonable times have
free access to theplace where the pipes arc nlXl&CtUred hr the per-pc~se of
examining and sampling the materials and pipes, and for supervising the
testing and marking, if necessary, of the pipes. ‘I’hc manufacturer shall
provide, free of extra charge, cvcry facility and all labour required for sucl~
examination, sampling, inspecting, testing and marking before delivery and
shall provide and maintain in good working order suitable, convenient and
accurate apparatus for testing sample pipes. Failing facilities at his own
works for making the prescribed tests the manufacturer shall bear the cost
of carrying out the tests elsewhere.
8.2 Porous Pipes Supplied from Stock - When pipes made to this
specification are supplied from stock the manufacturer shall, if so required,
furnish to the purchaser a certificate that the pipes have been made in all
respects in accordance with and comply with the requirements of this
standard. Should the purchaser so desire, any or all of the tests, herein
specified, shall be made by the manufacturer, and if the pipes pass the tests
they shall he deemed to comply, provided that they comply with the other
requirements of this specification. In the event of failure to pass the tests,
they shall be deemed not to comply.
