Bottom ash as a partial replacement of fine aggregateARIVOLI RAVI
This document presents research on using bottom ash, a byproduct of coal burning, to replace fine aggregates in concrete. A group of students conducted experiments with 0%, 20%, 40%, and 60% replacement of fine sand with bottom ash. Test results showed compressive strengths of 49.7, 47.8, 43.6, and 41.2 MPa at 28 days, respectively, indicating strength decreases as replacement increases. While bottom ash concrete is weaker, it can replace lower grade concretes. Using bottom ash in this way utilizes a waste product, reduces environmental contamination from ash disposal, and decreases demand for natural sand.

1) An experimental study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of using recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) in concrete. Concrete mixes were prepared by replacing normal coarse aggregates with RCA at percentages ranging from 20-40%.
2) Compressive strength tests were performed on concrete cubes at ages of 12 hours, 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days. The results showed that concrete with 40% replacement of RCA achieved higher compressive strengths compared to normal concrete at 28 days.
3) Replacement levels of 20-25% RCA resulted in compressive strengths similar to normal concrete at all ages tested. Higher replacement levels of 30% showed similar early strengths but decreased 28 day strength. The study concluded
This document discusses self-compacting concrete (SCC), which does not require vibration for compaction. It can be designed to have good filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance. The document outlines the objectives, specifications, advantages, applications, characteristics, and test methods for SCC. It also reviews literature on using fibers or fly ash to improve properties of hardened SCC and its alkaline resistance.
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) was developed in Japan in the 1980s to achieve complete compaction without vibration. SCC flows under its own weight, fills formwork and passes through reinforced areas without segregation of ingredients. It consists of cement, fine and coarse aggregates, chemical and mineral admixtures. Superplasticizers and viscosity modifying agents provide workability and stability. Tests like slump flow, V-funnel, and J-ring evaluate filling ability, passing ability and resistance to segregation. SCC offers benefits of reduced labor, better compaction and surface finish compared to conventional concrete but requires more precise material proportions and quality control.
This document discusses ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), a byproduct of steel production that can be used in concrete production. It has several benefits over traditional Portland cement concrete including greater strength, durability, and sustainability. GGBFS concrete exhibits improved sulfate and chloride resistance, reduces temperatures in large pours, and results in a lighter colored, smoother finish. It also enhances workability and pumpability while requiring less water. Overall, incorporating GGBFS in concrete delivers higher performance while reducing costs and environmental impact.

This document discusses using a scientific approach to determine the workability of concrete by measuring its rheological properties. It outlines that workability is traditionally determined through empirical tests like slump tests, which have limitations. Rheology allows measurement of yield stress and plastic viscosity, parameters that better describe concrete flow. Various rheometers are described that can measure these properties, like coaxial cylinder and parallel plate devices. Factors influencing concrete rheology are also discussed. The document concludes workability should be evaluated based on rheological measurements to address limitations of empirical tests.
This document provides information on concrete mix design including objectives, materials used, factors affecting mix choices, and the IS (Indian Standards) method for mix design with an example. The key concrete making materials are cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures. The IS method is a 7-step process that involves selecting a target strength, water-cement ratio, estimating air content and water requirements, determining coarse aggregate proportions, and summarizing the trial mix with adjustments for aggregate properties. An example mix design is provided for M40 grade concrete using OPC, fly ash, and superplasticizer to achieve pumpable workability.

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a highly fluid concrete that can spread and consolidate under its own weight without vibration. It was developed in Japan in the 1980s to solve issues with vibration-induced segregation and the lack of skilled workers. SCC flows easily into formwork and passes through reinforcement without blocking. It has higher durability and quality than conventional concrete due to better compaction. SCC uses the same materials as regular concrete but requires superplasticizers and viscosity modifying agents to achieve flowability without segregation.
This document discusses the compressive strength of concrete. It defines compressive strength as the ability of a material to withstand pushing forces.

Effect of superplasticizer on performance of concreterk pandey
1. Superplasticizers, also known as high-range water reducers, are admixtures added to concrete to improve workability. They work by neutralizing the surface charge of cement particles and dispersing them, which releases trapped water and reduces viscosity.
2. The main purposes of superplasticizers are to produce highly flowable concrete that can easily fill gaps between reinforcing bars, and to enable the production of high-strength concrete. Key factors that influence superplasticizers are the type used, dosage, timing of addition, and amount of cement.
3. Advantages of superplasticizers include reducing machine wear during concrete placement, improving surface finish, increasing early strength, and reducing cracking. Disadv

This document provides an introduction to Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), including its key properties. UHPC has very high compressive and tensile strengths due to its reduced porosity and improved microstructure from the addition of discontinuous fibers. It also has enhanced durability and dimensional stability. Some key properties discussed include UHPC's high compressive strength above 21.7 ksi, tensile strength above 0.72 ksi, lower drying shrinkage compared to normal concrete, and improved resistance to chloride ion penetration and carbonation. In conclusion, UHPC exhibits high strength, dimensional stability, durability and toughness due to its dense microstructure and inclusion of fibers.
The document discusses factors that affect the strength of concrete, including water-cement ratio, aggregate-cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, and degree of compaction. It states that concrete strength is inversely proportional to water-cement ratio according to Abrams' law. A lower water-cement ratio and higher degree of compaction produce stronger concrete by reducing porosity. A leaner aggregate-cement ratio also increases strength by absorbing water and reducing shrinkage. Larger aggregate size can reduce water needs but may decrease strength by lowering surface area for bond development.

Effect on compressive strength of concrete using sea sand as a partial replac...eSAT Journals
Abstract Concrete is a major construction material used in the construction now a days. It is a composite material containing cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. Fine aggregate is required in large quantities for manufacturing of concrete. Generally river sand is used as a fine aggregate. Due to increase in the utilization of concrete in construction sector, the need for river sand has been increased enormously. Limitations have been laid on the large scale mining of river sand from river beds. In this context there are cases of illegal mixing of sea sand with river sand. This paper mainly presents the practical study of the compressive strength of the concrete in which sea sand was used as fine aggregate is partially or completely replaced. For this study first control specimens were laid for M20 grade concrete. The fine aggregate proportion from the design mix was replaced partially in percentages of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% by sea sand. Compressive strength test was conducted on the various concrete specimens with various fine aggregate proportions and the results were tabulated. The compressive strengths of concrete specimens for respective mix proportions were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days of water curing. The behavior of concrete by partial replacement of fine aggregate with sea sand has been studied. With the increase in the percentage of sea sand replacement in concrete, the compressive strength of the concrete significantly reduced. Keywords: Concrete, Fine Aggregate, sea sand, Compressive strength
Partial replacement of Fine aggreggate by Copper Slag and Cement by Fly Ashsushendhukc
The document summarizes research on replacing fine aggregate with copper slag and cement with fly ash in concrete. It provides background on copper slag and fly ash, including their composition and how they are produced. It then reviews several previous studies that investigated replacing fine aggregate with copper slag at levels from 5-100% and cement with fly ash at 20-60%. The studies found that compressive, tensile and flexural strength generally increased up to around 40% replacement. The document aims to further study the effects of these replacements on concrete strength and properties.
Aggregate are important constituents in concrete, making up 70-80% of its volume. Aggregates can be classified in several ways: by size (coarse or fine), source (natural or manufactured), unit weight (lightweight, normal weight, or heavyweight), shape (rounded, angular, flaky), and surface texture (smooth, granular, crystalline). Ideal aggregates are hard, strong, durable, dense, clean, and free of materials that could compromise the concrete. Tests are conducted on aggregates to determine properties like particle size, impact value, crushing value, and abrasion value to ensure good quality for use in concrete.
1. Underwater concreting requires special concrete mixes that are self-compacting and self-leveling due to the inability to vibrate concrete underwater.
2. The tremie method, where concrete is poured from a sealed bottom pipe, is the most reliable technique for placing underwater concrete.
3. Several factors must be controlled for successful underwater concretes including flowability, segregation resistance, strength development, and prevention of cold joints and laitance.
This document summarizes the classification and properties of aggregates used in construction. It defines aggregates as inert materials mixed with cement or lime for mortar or concrete. Aggregates are classified as fine or coarse based on particle size. Common fine aggregates include sand from various sources, while coarse aggregates include crushed stone and gravel. Key properties discussed include size, shape, composition and performance in tests such as crushing value, impact value and abrasion value. Sieve analysis is also described to determine particle size distribution. An ideal aggregate is characterized as hard, strong, dense and free of impurities to provide durable concrete.

This document provides details on the steps involved in cement concrete mix design. It begins by defining cement concrete mix design as determining the proportions of cement, water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate to produce concrete with specified properties like workability, strength, and durability at minimum cost. It then outlines 14 steps to conduct a mix design including determining material properties, selecting trial water-cement ratios, casting test cubes, and selecting the final mix based on compressive strength results. An example mix design is then shown for M30 grade concrete with 20mm maximum aggregate size and moderate exposure achieving a compressive strength of 390 kg/cm2.
Use of Waste Materials As a replacement of Coarse Aggregate in Concrete MixNitin Yadav
The document discusses the use of waste materials in concrete. It outlines the objectives of reducing waste and finding alternative materials for construction. Three waste materials are examined: e-waste, rubber tire waste, and coconut shell waste. Their properties like water absorption and specific gravity are tested. Previous research on using these wastes in concrete is summarized. Experiments are described to determine properties of materials. A concrete mix design is provided with the goal of achieving 25MPa compressive strength. The document aims to explore sustainable and economical use of waste in construction materials.
Properties of Fresh and Hardened ConcreteRishabh Lala
1. The document discusses the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, including workability, strength, permeability, and durability.
2. Workability of fresh concrete refers to the effort required to mix and place the concrete without segregation. It is measured by tests like slump.
3. Compressive strength is an important property of hardened concrete, as concrete is designed to resist compressive loads. Strength depends on factors like water-cement ratio and compaction.
4. Permeability and durability are also important properties, as permeability affects how easily substances like water or salts can pass through concrete. Low permeability leads to higher durability.
Strength properties of concrete with partial replacement of sand by bottom ashAM Publications
This document summarizes an experimental study on the strength properties of concrete with partial replacement of manufactured sand (M sand) by bottom ash. Bottom ash is a waste product from coal combustion in power plants. The study found that replacing up to 30% of M sand with bottom ash had only a marginal reduction in compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength of the concrete. Results showed the 30% replacement mix achieved comparable 28-day strengths to the control mix. The study concludes that bottom ash can be used to partially replace M sand in concrete, reducing environmental impacts while providing sufficient strength for many applications.

'..Until recently sand was extracted in land quarries and riverbeds; however, these inland resources have nearly been depleted so that extraction has shifted to marine and coastal aggregates mining.'
Sand from deserts cannot be used for most purposes, as wind erosion over time forms round grains that do not bind well [4]. For most industrial uses, edged sand grains with a rough surface are needed, which stick together naturally. Desert sands, however, are usually fine- grained and of low shear strength –it does not even suit as material for the creation of artificial islands. Dubai, for example, used up all its suitable marine sand supplies for an artificial set of sand islands and, after these were exhausted, now has to import sand from Australia for continuing its building madness.
Most of the sand is by now extracted from the ocean floor – globally thousands of large boats are sucking up huge quantities of sand from the ocean floor in coastal areas like vacuum cleaners. As a result of currents, gravitation and movements of the waves, the gaps which were created by sand extraction are then filled by sand sliding in from surrounding areas and beaches. Due to this vicious cycle in Miami each year beaches have to be replenished with dredged-up sand to further provide tourists with its famous beaches.
In some extreme cases, the mining of marine aggregates has even changed international boundaries, such as through the disappearance of entire islands in Indonesia – since 2005 at least 24 small islands have disappeared as a result of erosion caused by illegal sand mining. Most of this sand is going to Singapore, which has expanded its surface area by 22% since the 1960s [5]. In response to this potentially heavy environmental toll many neighboring countries (Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam) have now banned exports of sand to Singapore, but this has only shifted the problem to countries such as Cambodia.
The conflicts caused by sand mining were for the first time brought to the attention of the general public through the documentary Sand Wars. Among many other outreach victories, the documentary inspired the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to publish a Global Environmental Alert in March 2014 titled “Sand, rarer than one thinks”. In it, the authors state that “Formed by erosive processes over thousands of years, they [sand and gravel] are now being extracted at a rate far greater than their renewal”.

Experimental studies in Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of rollerJoel 'almeida
1) The document presents experimental research on the ultrasonic pulse velocity of roller compacted concrete pavement containing fly ash and manufactured sand (M-sand).
2) Testing included measuring the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity of concrete mixtures with different levels of fly ash substitution and different fine aggregates at various curing ages.
3) The results showed that concrete mixtures with M-sand alone as the fine aggregate or higher fly ash substitution levels generally had lower strength and pulse velocity values compared to mixtures with river sand or lower fly ash contents. However, mixtures with a combination of M-sand and river sand performed better.
Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problem. Hence the reuse of waste material has been emphasized. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficiently and the environment is protected from waste deposits. Marble stone industry generates both solid waste and stone slurry. Whereas solid waste results from the rejects at the mine sites or at the processing units, stone slurry is a semi liquid substance consisting of particles originating from the sawing and the polishing processes and water used to cool and lubricate the sawing and polishing machines. Stone slurry generated during processing corresponds to around 40% of the final product from stone industry. This is relevant because the stone industry presents an annual output of 68 million tonnes of processed products. Therefore the scientific and industrial community must commit towards more sustainable practices. There are several reuse and recycling solutions for this industrial by-product, both at an experimental phase and in practical applications. These industrial wastes are dumped in the nearby land and the natural fertility of the soil is spoiled. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the waste are analyzed.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.
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%.
Height and depth gauge linear metrology.pdfq30122000
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.
