Concrete performance by partially replacing cementMr. Lucky
Â
In India, Hypo-Sludge (waste from paper industries) and Fly-Ash (waste from thermal power plants) are available in large quantity.
The management of fly ash has been troublesome in view of its disposal because of its potential of causing pollution of air and water.
The total generation of fly ash in India is about 180 million tonnes.
About 20,000 hectares of land resources can be saved annually by effectively utilisation of fly ash in India.
The lightweight and eco-friendly idea came up with new concept of using fly ash as filler in polymer composites because of their low density, good dispersion, globular particles fluidity, enhanced strength, and economical perspective. The infrastructures of industries, residential buildings as well as constructional materials, and materials used in different sectors in different ways worldwide demanding satisfaction with lightweight and eco-friendly materials having good physical properties, mechanical properties such as Compressive strength, Flexural strength, Impact Strength, Tensile strength, etc. and chemical properties via Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopic (SEM), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), etc. To get better properties numerous on going researches are going on to develop new materials which would be lightweight and eco-friendly. In the same way composites became more captivating materials and encountering with the traditionally available clay/ceramic materials and their conventional counterparts due to many compelling advantages.
Nanofibers contolling heavy metal contamination reportMr. Lucky
Â
Plenty of fresh water resources are still inaccessible for human use. Calamities such as pollution, climate change, and global warming pose serious threats to the fresh water system. Although many naturally and synthetically grown materials have been taken up to resolve these issues, there is still plenty of room for enhancements in technology and material perspectives to maximize resources and to minimize harm. Considering the challenges related to the purification of water, materials in the form of nanofiber membranes and nanomaterials have made tremendous contributions to water purification. Nanofiber membranes made of synthetic polymer nanofibers, ceramic membranes etc., metal oxides in various morphologies, and carbonaceous materials were explored in relation to waste removal from water. Membranes for membrane adsorption (MA) have the dual function of membrane filtration and adsorption to be very effective to remove trace amounts of pollutants such as cationic heavy metals, anionic phosphates and nitrates. In addition, recent progresses in the development of advanced adsorbents such as nanoparticles are summarized, since they are potentially useful as fillers in the host membrane to enhance its performance.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empireâs society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.

3. INTRODUCTI
ONīą Autoclaved aerated concrete brick was invented in mid-1923 in
Sweden by a Swedish architect Dr. Johan Errikson, who was
looking for a alternate building material having quality of :-
īŧ Wood â good thermal insulation, solid structure and easy to
work.
īŧ Without the disadvantage of combustibility and decay.
4. ContinuedâĻâĻ..
īą It is now considered as a new generation brick also known as
Autoclaved Cellular Concrete (ACC) bricks or Autoclaved Lightweight
Concrete (ALC) bricks or, autoclaved aerated concrete bricks(AAC).
īą These AAC bricks are made with a mixture of cement, fly ash, lime,
aluminium and water involving an aeration process that gives it the
unique cellular structure.
5. ITS IMPORTANCE IN NEXT GENERATION CONSTRUCTION.
It seems important for the next generation construction because it involves â
īļ Use of waste Product:-
Fly Ash is usually a by-product of thermal power plants and is an important
raw material in the manufacture of AAC Blocks.
īļ Water Conservation :-
AAC blocks donât need curing, as water used in other ordinary Clay Brick.
6. īļDurability:-
AAC has a very porous structure filled by Air Bubbles which arrests
water absorption into the AAC material is minimum. So, It leads to Low maintenance
and increased durability.
īļ Recycle / Reuse :-
ī Waste from the cutting process is recycled back with raw materials and used
again.
ī During construction, there is virtually no waste generated.
ī AAC blocks can be reused into base preparation of roads.
7. Types Of AAC Bricks.
AAC bricks are currently available in three sizes:-
1. Infill bricks:
ī Size :- 600X600 mm.
ī Thickness :- 75,100,125,150,200 mm.
IMPORTANCE â
ī Easily replace 60% of the concrete in roof slabs.
ī Saving significant amounts of concrete, steel, labor, water, plaster etc.
8. 2. Jumbo blocks:-
ī Size:- 600X200 mm.
ī Thickness:- 75,100,125,150, to 200 mm.
IMPORTANCE â
ī Because of large size less mortar is required.
ī These bricks are more suitable for multi-storied buildings etc.
9. 3. Thermal blocks:-
ī Size:- 300X200 mm.
ī Thickness:- 50 mm.
IMPORTANCE â
ī Delay the transmission of heat flow. So, help interiors remain warm
during winters and cool during summers.
ī Good for roofing.
10. Different characteristics of AAC bricks.
The characteristics of bricks are as follows :-
1. Light-weight:
ī§ Because of its aerated structure it become light in weight.
ī§ The weight is only one third the density of clay bricks, makes them easy to handle
on-site.
2. Fire resistance:
ī§ Walls of AAC bricks, with a minimum thickness of 100mm can resist fire for up to
4 hours.
ī§ Especially for industries and companies, which are vulnerable to fire accidents,
these blocks are of much help.
11. 3. Sound insulation:
ī§ AAC brick can minimize the sound transmission up to 42 decibels.
ī§ Better for wall construction in hotels, auditoriums, Colleges, hospitals, etc.
4. Thermal insulation:
ī§ The cellular structure of the AAC bricks provides excellent thermal Insulation.
ī§ Help interiors to remain cooler during summer and warmer during winter.
12. 5. Strength and durability:
ī§ AAC bricks made with higher weight ratio help in building stronger and
economical structure.
ī§ They remain unaffected by the environmental conditions they ensure longer life
for the building.
6. Perfect finish and dimensional stability:
ī§ Perfect dimensions to the blocks along with low tolerances.
ī§ Dimensionally perfect blocks help in building uniform, thin walls with perfect
finish.
13. Steps Involved in manufacturing process.
There are mainly four steps involves in manufacturing process of AAC Bricks:-
1. Raw Material Preparation:
ī Fly ash :-
ī§ Fly ash is mixed with water to form fly ash slurry.
ī§ Fly Ash is usually a by-product of thermal power plants and is an important raw
material in the manufacture of AAC Blocks.
ī§ Slurry thus formed is mixed with other ingredients like lime powder, cement,
gypsum and Aluminium powder in quantities consistent with the recipe.
14. ī Limestone powder:-
ī§ Lime powder required for AAC production is obtained either by
crushing limestone to fine powder at AAC factory or by directly
purchasing it in powder form from a vendor.
Crusher for grinding lime stone.
15. ī Cement :-
ī§ 53-grade Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) from reputed manufacturer is required
for manufacturing AAC blocks.
ī Gypsum :-
ī§ Gypsum is easily available in the market and is used in powder form.
ī Aluminium powder/paste :-
ī§ A small quantity of Aluminium powder/paste is required to be added to the
mixture, it is usually weighed manually and added to the mixing unit.
16. 2. Dosing and Mixing: -
īŧ Fly ash slurry is pumped into a separate container. Once the desired weight is
poured in, pumping is stopped.
īŧ Lime powder, cement and gypsum are poured into individual containers using
screw conveyors.
īŧ Mixing drum is like a giant bowl with a stirrer rotating inside to ensure proper
mixing of ingredients. Steam might also be fed to the unit to maintain
temperature in range of 40-42oC.
īŧ Dosing and mixing process is carried out continuously because if there is a long
gap between charging and discharging of ingredients, residual mixture might start
hardening and choke up the entire unit.
17. 3. Casting and Rising : -
īŧ Before casting, the moulds are coated with a thin layer of oil. Done in order to
ensure that cake does not stick to the mould.
īŧ While slurry is mixed and poured into greased moulds, Aluminium reacts with
Calcium Hydroxide and water to form Hydrogen.
īŧ Millions of tiny Hydrogen bubbles are released due to this reaction. This leads to
formation of tiny unconnected cells causing slurry mix to expand.
īŧ These cells are the reason behind light weight and insulating properties of AAC
blocks.
18. 4. Demoulding and Cutting:-
īŧ Once a mould is out of pre-curing room, it is lifted by a crane or rolled on tracks
for the demoulding operation.
īŧ Cutting operation is achieved by moving green cake through horizontal cutting
machine.
īŧ Horizontal or Vertical cuttings are made through cake using stationary steel
wires.
īŧ These wires can be adjusted offline to get desired height of AAC blocks or panels.
