A crack is a complete or incomplete separation of concrete into two or more parts produced by breaking or fracturing.
Cracks are one kind of universal problems of concrete construction as it affects the building artistic and it also destroys the wall’s integrity, affects the structure safety and even reduce the durability of structure
Carbon dioxide penetrates into the concrete through the cracks and speed up carbonation around the cracks, thus shortening the structure usage.
The cracks in the concrete wall would cause the leakage of the building; it reduces the stiffness, durability and seismic performance of buildings.
Cracks on the wall surface damage to the later rendering, will affect to the appearance.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
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.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

22. 1. ADDING WATERTO CONCRETE
22
CAUSES EFFECTS
Addition of water to the
concrete in a delivery
truck to increase slump
and decrease pouring or
placement effort
• Concrete with
lowered strength
and reduced
durability
• W/c ratio of the
concrete increases,
the strength and
durability will
decrease
Water is commonly
added during finishing
of structural member
Scaling, crazing, and
dusting of the concrete
SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
23. 2. IMPROPER ALIGNMENT OF
FORMWORK
■ EFFECTS
– Discontinuities on the surface of the concrete
These discontinuities are unsightly in all circumstances
Their occurrence may be more critical in areas that are subjected to high velocity flow
of water, where cavitation-erosion may be induced, or in lock chambers where the
“rubbing” surfaces must be straight
23SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
24. 3. IMPROPER CONSOLIDATION OR
COMPACTION OF CONCRETE
■ EFFECTS
– Improper compaction of concrete may result in a variety of defects, the most
common being bug holes, honeycombing, and cold joints
24
BUG HOLES HONEYCOMBING OVER-
CONSOLIDATION
SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
25. These can be reduced by
inserting the vibrator
more frequently, and as
close as possible to the
form face without
touching the form, and
slower withdrawal of the
vibrator.
Obviously, any or all of
these defects make it
much easier for any
damage-causing
mechanism to initiate
deterioration of the
concrete.
It is usually defined as a
situation in which the
consolidation effort
causes all of the coarse
aggregate to settle to the
bottom while the paste
rises to the surface. If this
situation occurs, it is
reasonable to conclude
that there is a problem of
a poorly proportioned
concrete rather than too
much consolidation.
25
These are formed when
small pockets of air or
water are trapped against
the forms.
A change in the mixture
to make it less “sticky” or
the use of small vibrators
worked near the form has
been used to help
eliminate bug holes.

SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
26. 4. IMPROPER CURING
Curing is probably the most abused aspect of the concrete construction process. Unless
concrete is given adequate time to cure at a proper humidity and temperature, it will not
develop the characteristics that are expected and that are necessary to provide durability.
■ SYMPTOMS
– Various types of cracking and surface disintegration
– Failure to achieve anticipated concrete strengths, structural cracking may occur
26SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
27. 5. IMPROPER LOCATION OF
REINFORCING STEEL
■ CAUSE
– This section refers to reinforcing steel that is improperly located or is not adequately
secured in the proper location
■ EFFECTS
– First, the steel may not function structurally as intended, resulting in structural
cracking or failure. E.g.is the placement of welded wire mesh in floor slabs. In many
cases, the mesh ends up on the bottom of the slab which will subsequently crack
because the steel is not in the proper location
– The second type of problem stemming from improperly located or tied reinforcing
steel is one of durability. The tendency seems to be for the steel to end up near the
surface of the concrete. As the concrete cover over the steel is reduced, it is much
easier for corrosion to begin
27SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
28. 6. MOVEMENT OF FORMWORK
■ CAUSE
– Movement of formwork during the period while the concrete is going from a fluid
to a rigid material may induce cracking and separation within the concrete
■ EFFECTS
– A crack open to the surface will allow access of water to the interior of the
concrete.
– An internal void may give rise to freezing or corrosion problems if the void
becomes saturated
28SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
29. 7. PREMATURE REMOVAL OF SHORES
OR RESHORES
■ CAUSE
– If shores or reshores are removed too soon, the concrete affected may become
overstressed and cracked
■ EFFECTS
– In extreme cases there may be major failures
29SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
30. 8. SETTLING OFTHE CONCRETE
■ CAUSE
– During the period between placing and initial setting of the concrete, the heavier
components of the concrete will settle under the influence of gravity
– This situation may be aggravated by the use of highly fluid concretes
■ EFFECTS
– If any restraint tends to prevent this settling, cracking or separations may result.
– These cracks or separations may also develop problems of corrosion or freezing if
saturated
30SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
31. 9. SETTLING OFTHE SUBGRADE
■ CAUSE
– Settling of the subgrade during the period after the concrete begins to become
rigid but before it gains enough strength to support its own weight
■ EFFECTS
– Cracking may also occur
– Sags and Humps (Localized Depressions) may occur
31SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
32. 10.VIBRATION OF FRESHLY PLACED
CONCRETE
■ CAUSE
– Most construction sites are subjected to vibration from various sources, such as
blasting, pile driving, and from the operation of construction equipment. Freshly
placed concrete is vulnerable to weakening of its properties.
■ EFFECTS
– If subjected to forces, concrete matrix may disrupt during setting
32SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
33. 11. IMPROPER FINISHING OF FLAT
CONCRETE SURFACE
A. Adding water to the surface: Evidence that water is being added to the surface is the
presence of a large paint brush, along with other finishing tools.The brush is dipped in
water and water is “slung” onto the surface being finished.
B. Timing of finishing: Final finishing operations must be done after the concrete has
taken its initial set and bleeding has stopped.The waiting period depends on the
amounts of water, cement, and admixtures in the mixture but primarily on the
temperature of the concrete surface. On a partially shaded slab, the part in the sun
will usually be ready to finish before the part in the shade.
33SRISHTIWAKHLOO B.TECH CE (HONS.) https://in.linkedin.com/in/srishti-wakhloo
34. 11. IMPROPER FINISHING OF FLAT
CONCRETE SURFACE
C. Adding cement to the surface:This practice is often done to dry up bleed water to
allow finishing to proceed and will result in a thin cement-rich coating which will craze
or flake off easily.
D. Use of tamper: A tamper or “jitterbug” is unnecessarily used on many jobs.This tool
forces the coarse aggregate away from the surface and can make finishing easier.This
practice, however, creates a cement-rich mortar surface layer which can scale or
craze.A jitterbug should not be allowed with a well designed mixture. If a harsh
mixture must be finished, the judicious use of a jitterbug could be useful.
E. Jointing:The most frequent cause of cracking in flatwork is the incorrect spacing and
location of joints.

42. CONCLUSION
■ A structure, if regularly maintained, will not need extensive repair and rehabilitation
and the cost of the same would also go down.
■ Design errors' onset is during the stage of planning. These can be prevented by careful
and thorough inspection of drawing at each stage.
■ Construction errors' commence during the stage of execution and can be controlled by
inspection, excepting when environmental factors govern the error.
■ Even after the identification of repair/rehabilitation method, it is significant to know
the specifications of the materials to be used, so that these can be altered depending
upon the need.
