This document summarizes an experiment conducted to determine the absorption of coarse aggregate samples. The experiment involves weighing aggregate samples after immersion in water for 24 hours to obtain the saturated surface dry weight, then weighing the samples again after drying in an oven at 100-110 degrees Celsius to obtain the dry weight. The absorption percentage is then calculated using these two weights. The results obtained for three groups were 0.328%, -0.284%, and 0% absorption, indicating issues with the measurements or process that need to be addressed to obtain valid results.

3. The underlying assumptions in the derivation of the mathematical equations are as follows:
• The clay layer is homogeneous.
• The clay layer is saturated, the compression of the soil layer is due to the change in volume only, which in turn, is due to the squeezing out of water from the void spaces.
• Darcy’s law is valid.
• Deformation of soil occurs only in the direction of the load application.
4. Effects of ring friction
• During loading reduce stress acted on the specimen, specimen compresses less.
• During rebound reduce the swelling tendency specimen swell less.
• Flatten the swelling curve at low stress level.

Introduction
Grain size analysis is a typical laboratory test conducted in the soil mechanics field. The purpose of the analysis is to derive the particle size distribution of soils. A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used (commonly used in civil engineering) to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction of the whole mass.
Standard References:-
ASTM D 422-standard test method for particle-size analysis of soils.
Purpose of this experiment
This test is performed to determine the percentage of different grain sizes contained within a soil. The mechanical or sieve analysis performed to determine the distribution of the coarser, larger-sized particles, and the hydrometer method is used the distribution of the finer particles.
Procedure:
First of all we found weight of each sieve as well as the bottom pan and we wrote it to use it in the analysis.
And we found the weight of the given dry soil sample and recorded it.
Then we checked all the sieves to make sure that all of sieves are clean, and assembled them in the ascending order of sieve numbers (#4 sieve at top and #200 sieve at bottom). And we placed the pan below #200 sieve. Carefully we poured the soil sample into the top sieve and place the cap over it.
After that we placed the sieve stack in the mechanical shaker and shack it for 10 minutes.
Finally we removed the stack from the shaker and carefully weighted and recorded the weight of each sieve with its retained soil. Weighted and recorded the weight of the bottom pan with its retained fine soil.
Discussion:
In this test we learn how to find grain size of the soil and how to classify it with comparing to ASTMD standards.
By using gradation curve and our table since F200 (1.55%) <50%, this mean our soil type should be Gravel or Sand.
R4 (22.2%)<12 R200(98.45%)=49.25 and this should be sand.
F200 (1.55%) <%5 so this should be SW or SP.
Our Cu>=6 but our Cg is not between 1 and 3 so our soil is SP.
%gravel (22.2%)>=15%so our soil is SP with gravel.
Conclusion:
In this test we are learn how to fined particle size distribution and classified our soil sample with ASTM D standard which we notice that our soil is poorly grained sand with gravel due to our comparing with ASTMD standard and we drew a particle-size distribution for our sample which is our curve well graded because it take a lot of particle sizes of our soil sample. This test we didn’t have many of sieve numbers this result to this 4.3

Sieve Analysis of Fine & Coarse Aggregate | Jameel Academy
This report summarizes the results of a sieve analysis test performed on samples of fine and coarse aggregates. Sieve analysis was used to determine the particle size distribution of each aggregate by separating particles via sieves with decreasing size openings. For the fine aggregate, the average size was found to be 0.6mm. For the coarse aggregate, the maximum size was found to be 13.2mm. While the calculations and procedures appeared to be performed correctly, the results did not fully meet specification limits, indicating the aggregates may not be suitable for the intended construction purpose without further processing or testing.

SLUMP TEST AND VEE-BEE TEST
The document discusses two tests used to measure the workability of concrete: the slump test and VEBE test. The slump test measures how much a sample of freshly mixed concrete sags or "slumps" due to gravity. The VEBE test also measures workability but uses vibration and timing to determine how long it takes for the sample to be remolded by the vibration. Both tests are affected by the amount of water in the concrete mix, with too much or too little water impacting the workability. The slump test is commonly used in the field while the VEBE test is better for dry mixes but less practical for field use.
Slump test
The document describes conducting a slump test to determine the workability of concrete. A slump test measures the consistency or ability of fresh concrete to flow without segregation. Consistency is expressed by the amount of subsidence or "slump" of a concrete sample when a slump cone is lifted. A higher slump indicates more workable concrete suitable for tasks like beams and slabs, while a lower slump is suitable for road work. The test results will be affected by factors like the water-cement ratio.
Concrete with slump test
Concrete is made by mixing cement, aggregates like sand and gravel, and water. It has advantages of being strong in compression, fire resistant, and able to take on any shape or texture. Common types of cement include Portland cement for general construction and sulfate resisting Portland cement for applications where sulfate resistance is required. Admixtures like air-entraining agents and water reducers can improve properties of concrete such as workability and strength. Tests are conducted to determine properties of fresh and hardened concrete including slump tests for workability and compression tests for strength.

Horizontal Distance Measurement (HDM) by Automatic Level - Report
An automatic level is a professional leveling tool used in construction and surveying to measure horizontal distances accurately. There are different types of automatic levels suited to different jobs. To measure the distance between two points (A and B) using an automatic level, one sets up the level over point A and takes a reading, then shifts it to point B to take a second reading. The distance is calculated by multiplying the difference between the upper and lower readings by 100. For example, with an upper reading of 133.1 and lower reading of 122.8, the distance between points A and B is calculated as 10.3 meters. Automatic levels improve accuracy for tasks like grading and construction.

Advantages and disadvantages of concrete
قازانج و خراپییەکانی کۆنکریت
Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time. Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment fondu. However, asphalt concrete, which is frequently used for road surfaces, is also a type of concrete, where the cement material is bitumen, and polymer concretes are sometimes used where the cementing material is a polymer.
When aggregate is mixed together with dry Portland cement and water, the mixture forms a fluid mass that is easily molded into shape. The cement reacts chemically with the water and other ingredients to form a hard matrix that binds the materials together into a durable stone-like material that has many uses.[2] Often, additives (such as pozzolans or superplasticizers) are included in the mixture to improve the physical properties of the wet mix or the finished material. Most concrete is poured with reinforcing materials (such as rebar) embedded to provide tensile strength, yielding reinforced concrete.
Famous concrete structures include the Hoover Dam, the Panama Canal, and the Roman Pantheon. The earliest large-scale users of concrete technology were the ancient Romans, and concrete was widely used in the Roman Empire. The Colosseum in Rome was built largely of concrete, and the concrete dome of the Pantheon is the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.[3] Today, large concrete structures (for example, dams and multi-storey car parks) are usually made with reinforced concrete.
After the Roman Empire collapsed, use of concrete became rare until the technology was redeveloped in the mid-18th century. Today, concrete is the most widely used man-made material (measured by tonnage).

At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming Pipelines
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECT
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.

Absorption of Coarse Aggregate
- 1. 1 Soran University Faculty of Engineering Civil Engineering Department Absorption of Coarse Aggregate Student: Sarchia Khursheed Group: 2 Experiment NO.: 2 Date: 18.11.2015 Supervisor: Arianfar Haji Introduction
- 2. 2 Absorption is the increase in the mass of aggregate due to water being absorbed into the pores of the material, but not including water adhering to the outside surface of the particles, expressed as a percentage of the dry mass. The aggregate is considered “dry” when it has been maintained at a temperature of 110 ±5°C for sufficient time to remove all uncombined water The laboratory standard for absorption is that obtained after submerging dry aggregate for approximately 15 hours in water. Aggregates mined from below the water table may have a higher absorption, when used, if not allowed to dry. Conversely, some aggregates, when used, may contain an amount of absorbed moisture less than the 15 hours soaked condition. For an aggregate that has been in contact with water and that has free moisture on the particle surfaces, the percentage of free moisture can be determined by deducting the absorption from the total moisture content. The pores in lightweight aggregates may or may not become filled with water after immersion for 15 hours. In fact, many such aggregates can remain immersed in water for several days without satisfying most of the aggregates’ absorption potential. Therefore, this method is not intended for use with lightweight aggregate. Objective To determine the absorption of given sample of coarse aggregates. Apparatus A balance or scale of capacity not less than 3 kg, readable and accurate to 0.5 g and of such a type and shape as to permit the basket containing the sample to be suspended from the beam and the weighed in water. A well ventilated oven thermostatically controlled to maintain a temperature of 100°C to 110°C. A wire basket of not more than 6.3 mm mesh or a perforated container of convenient size. A stout water tight container of convenient size. A glass container Two dry soft absorbent cloths each not less than 75×45 cm
- 3. 3 A shallow tray of area no less than 650 cm2 Materials Coarse aggregate Distilled water Procedure I. The sample should be thoroughly washed to remove finer particles and dust, drained and then placed in the wire basket and immersed in distilled water at a temperature between 22 and 32oC. II. After immersion, the entrapped air should be removed by lifting the basket and allowing it to drop 25 times in 25 seconds. The basket and sample should remain immersed for a period of 24 + ½ hrs afterwards. III. The basket and aggregates should then be removed from the water, allowed to drain for a few minutes, after which the aggregates should be gently emptied from the basket on to one of the dry clothes and gently surface-dried with the cloth, transferring it to a second dry cloth when the first would remove no further moisture. The aggregates should be spread on the second cloth and exposed to the atmosphere away from direct sunlight till it appears to be completely surface-dry. The aggregates should be weighed (Weight ‘A’). IV. The aggregates should then be placed in an oven at a temperature of 100 to 110oC for 24hrs. It should then be removed from the oven, cooled and weighed (Weight ‘B’). Data and Calculations
- 4. 4 Weights Groups A B 1 306 g 305 g 2 351 g 352 g 3 325 g 325 g A = Weight of aggregate in SSD condition. B = Weight of the oven dry aggregate in air (100 – 110°C) Absorption (%) = 𝐴−𝐵 𝐵 × 100 Group 1: 306 𝑔 − 305 𝑔 305 𝑔 × 100 = 0.328 % Group 2: 351 𝑔 − 352 𝑔 352 𝑔 × 100 = -0.284 % Group 3: 325 𝑔 − 325 𝑔 325 𝑔 × 100 = 0 % Discussion
- 5. 5 From the weight of aggregate in SSD condition (A) and weight of oven dry aggregate (B) we can obtain the absorption of coarse aggregate by this equation ( 𝐴−𝐵 𝐵 × 100 ), after obtaining the weights of coarse aggregate in SSD condition and oven dry condition we use it in the equation, weight of (A) must be greater than (B) because of absorption of water, and the rate of absorption must be greater than 0 and less than 2. In this experiment our result (Group 2) it seems a bad result because the result is less than 0 and sign is minus, about another two groups, the result of Group 1 between 0 and 2 may it better than two groups, about the result of Group 3 it is 0, these results clear that maybe there are some problems in measuring and process of this test, it be better to reply this experiments to obtain some probable results.
