CRITICAL REVIEW ON STRUCTURAL LIGHT WEIGHT CONCRETE IAEME Publication
Concrete is widely used material across the world for construction of large structures. Due
to increase in industrialization and development of urban areas, high volume of resources is
required which are available naturally. This means high volume of resources is used worldwide
for production of concrete. To reduce the use of such resources and to decrease the negative
impact on environment, the uses of industrial waste and artificial aggregates as a replacement
of natural aggregates are increasingly used. Another focus required in material research is to
reduce the concrete weight density so that the effective dead load and seismic loads can be
lowered. The paper attempts to review the literature and present a state of art in making
lightweight concrete as reported till now for structural application

Investigations on Properties of Light Weight Cinder Aggregate ConcreteIJERD Editor
This document summarizes an investigation into the properties of concrete made with cinder aggregate as a partial or full replacement for conventional aggregates. Cinder is a lightweight byproduct of steel manufacturing that can be used to create lighter weight concrete. Tests were conducted replacing granite coarse aggregate with 0-100% cinder aggregate, and river sand fine aggregate with 0-50% cinder powder. Results showed compressive strength was highest with 40% cinder coarse aggregate replacement, but strength generally decreased as replacement levels increased. Tensile strength also decreased with higher cinder replacement. Density of cinder concrete mixes was lower than conventional mixes. The study concluded cinder can be used to create lighter concrete, though strengths are sometimes reduced compared to conventional mixes.

This experimental deals with floating concrete precast slab with addition of vermiculite and pumice. Buoyancy plays major role on floating objects. In order to design a floating concrete slab Light Weight Concrete (LWC) plays a prominent role in reducing the density and to increase the thermal insulation. Light weight concrete (LWC) is formed by Natural aggregate, synthetic light weight aggregate. Vermiculite is a light weight and cheap product because of its thermal resistance has become a valuable insulating material. The density of these concrete varies from 750 Kg/m³ to 2050 Kg/m³. Pumice is a natural graded light weight coarse aggregate which has a dry density of 1200 Kg/m³ to 1450 Kg/m. The light Weight Concrete (LWC) M20 using the light weight coarse aggregate as Pumice stone as a full replacement to 100%, light weight fine aggregate as Vermiculite as a replacement of fine aggregate to 75 %. The Cement (Ordinary Portland cement) is partially replaced by Fly Ash up to 50 % and some other mineral admixture are added which are Steel Fibre and Super plasticizer (SP 430) are added. An experimental work concludes in which the compression strength of conventional mix has higher strength and weight. Due to floating condition the specimen must have less density so, specific proportion has low density while comparing to other mix. Even though the mix 4 has low strength but it has low density and it is used in precast floating slab. The slab is designed to float above the datum line and with a load carrying capacity of 1.5 kN. The mix also yields on compressive and split tensile strength of 5.07 N/mm2 and 2.17 N/mm2.

3. Testing of the mixes found that densities under 1000 kg/m3 allowed the concrete to float while also achieving compressive strengths up to 10.4 MPa, indicating potential for structural use at a lower cost than conventional concrete.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable concrete that can spread and consolidate under its own weight without vibration or compaction. Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed SCC in the late 1980s to address labor shortages. By the early 1990s, Japan was using SCC without vibration, and its use spread to other countries. SCC offers benefits like reduced labor costs, faster construction, and improved safety and finishes. It requires special mix designs using superplasticizers, viscosity agents, and mineral admixtures to achieve flowability, passing ability through reinforcement, and resistance to segregation.

This document provides an introduction to self-compacting concrete (SCC). SCC is concrete that can be placed and consolidated under its own weight without vibration. It was developed in Japan in the late 1980s to address issues with adequate compaction. The key properties of SCC are high flowability and good cohesiveness. These properties allow SCC to fill forms and pass through reinforced areas without segregation or honeycombing. SCC offers advantages over traditional vibrated concrete such as faster construction, improved durability, better surface finish, and a safer working environment by eliminating vibration. While SCC provides benefits, it also has a higher material cost due to increased binder and chemical admixture contents required.

Pudlo is a concrete admixture that modifies the microstructure of concrete to improve its durability. It reduces permeability, absorption, and diffusion by densifying the cement paste and reducing porosity and pore size. This makes concrete virtually water-tight and prevents ingress of chloride ions, carbon dioxide, water and other chemicals that can cause corrosion of steel reinforcement or chemical attacks on concrete. Pudlo also autogenously heals microcracks to further improve concrete's resistance to permeation and durability against various degradation mechanisms like corrosion, sulfate attack, and acid attack. Case studies and third party testing show that Pudlo modified concrete outperforms standard concrete in real world exposure conditions and infrastructure projects.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. 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.
