Formwork refers to the temporary structure used to support wet concrete until it cures and develops sufficient strength. It determines the shape and dimensions of the concrete structure. Formwork includes centering under slabs and beams, shuttering on the sides of columns, beams and walls, and staging that supports the centering and shuttering. Scaffolding provides a platform for workers. Shuttering is classified as wood, plywood, steel or composite and must withstand loads from wet concrete, workers and equipment while pouring concrete.
Prestressed concrete is concrete that is placed under compression using tensioned steel strands, cables, or bars. This is done through either pre-tensioning or post-tensioning. In pre-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned before the concrete is poured, while in post-tensioning, the steel components are tensioned after the concrete has hardened. Prestressed concrete provides benefits over reinforced concrete like lower construction costs, thinner structural elements, and longer spans between supports.

searching the blood banks and blood donors it can be just done by installing the
application to the mobile.
The purpose of making this application is to save the user’s time for searching blood of
needed blood group during the time of the emergency.
This is an android application developed in Java and XML with the connectivity of
SQLite database. This application will provide most of basic functionality required for an
emergency time application. All the details of Blood banks and Blood donors are stored
in the database i.e. SQLite.
This application allowed the user to get all the information regarding blood banks and
blood donors such as Name, Number, Address, Blood Group, rather than searching it on
the different websites and wasting the precious time. This application is effective and
user friendly.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
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%.

Supermarket Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
Supermarket management is a stand-alone J2EE using Eclipse Juno program.
This project contains all the necessary required information about maintaining
the supermarket billing system.
The core idea of this project to minimize the paper work and centralize the
data. Here all the communication is taken in secure manner. That is, in this
application the information will be stored in client itself. For further security the
data base is stored in the back-end oracle and so no intruders can access it.
2. • The checklist in masonry wall construction is prepared to
ensure that the masonry projects are constructed according
to the higher standards. This is carried out by providing
proper assistance for undergoing the review processes at the
site.
• The method of checklist preparation in masonry work ensures
the confirmation of standards not only for the masonry work
but also the workmanship standards.
• How to Prepare Masonry Wall Construction Checklist?
Now masonry checklist, in general, will consist of three
columns . The first column is for specifying the Item and the
Work. The second column is for specifying the details of the
respective work.
• The third column is remarks or comments. This column
designation will vary based on the specific requirements of
the project item.
3. • Details Required in Checklist for Masonry Wall Construction
So as a summary, the masonry checklist incorporates the following
essentials:
• Mention and updating the availability of the materials available and
yet to reach.
• Preparation of the area for the preparation of the concrete or the
material. This will involve the cleaning of the work zone.
• Proper and appropriate bundling of the bricks. This will check
improper placement and spoiling of brick materials.
• Quality of bricks and the sand materials are mentioned once the test is
conducted.
• Check for over-burnt clays or under burnt clays.
• Wetting of the bricks.
• In case of clay bricks, they have to soaked before the work start.
• The plumb level is checked.
• Amount of salt content in the silt is checked.
4. • Dead mortars are cleaned for new work and checked.
• Racking and curing is checked – all vertical joints and horizontal joints have to be properly
aligned.
• Any chances of expansion or modification is checked.
• Proper and accurate checking for pointing, plastering and finishing details.
• Erection of frames – Alignment and position of the door is checked.
• Checking the outline of each room – compared with the plan, checking the diagonal, the
position of the windows and the openings.
• Based on the diagonals and the dimension of the room, the first layer of the bricks is laid.
• Joint must be checked for uniformity and thickness not greater than 10 to 12mm is
maintained.
• Mortar Mix
• Water for mixing-storage of materials
• Specified Mortar type
• Check the mortar preparation and mix consistency
• Mortar Mixing and Mortar Ration in Masonry Wall Construction
• Application of Mortar- Proper filling of the joints
• Filling the cavities and grouted cells
• The joints in masonry must be properly cleared
• Ensure the brickwork height to be made on a single day ( 1.5m)
• Curing Details –Checked
• After the work, the top of the wall is covered with wet jute bag after the end of every
work
• The curing has to be done for 7 to 10 days
