This document summarizes a study on the effect of adding styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex on the compressive strength and water absorption of concrete. The study found that adding SBR latex ("RIPSTAR-148") increased the slump and workability of concrete mixes. At 7 days, SBR latex decreased compressive strength but reduced water absorption. At 28 days, SBR latex increased compressive strength up to 14% and decreased water absorption up to 44% due to the formation of a polymer film. The study concluded that SBR latex can improve concrete durability but the dosage may need adjusting to control workability.

Curing is the name given to the procedure used for promoting the hydration of the cement and consist a control of temperature
and moisture movement from the concrete. Curing allows continuous hydration of cement and consequently
continuous gain in the strength, once curing stops strength gain of the concrete also stops. Proper moisture conditions
are critical because the hydration of the cement virtually ceases when the relative humidity within the capillaries drops
below 80%. Proper curing of concrete structures is important to meet performance and durability requirements. In conventional
curing this is achieved by external curing applied after mixing, placing and finishing. Self-curing or internal
curing is a technique that can be used to provide additional moisture in concrete for more effective hydration of cement
and reduced self-desiccation. When concrete is exposed to the environment evaporation of water takes place and loss of
moisture will reduce the initial water cement ratio which will result in the incomplete hydration of the cement and hence
lowering the quality of the concrete.

Estimation of Manufacturing Costs in the Early Stages of Product Development ...IJMER
ABSTRACT : One of the crucial factors in increase of productivity of supply chains is the management of production
costs. Since the number of methods and tools used to estimate the production costs in product development phase is limited,
the designers often estimate the costs based on their experience. The designers can mainly affect the direct costs of a
product, including material, labor and purchased parts. Direct costs vary greatly depending on the number of produced
units. Indirect costs include for example the work in process, storage and internal transportations. The developed software
prototype is based on the Lucas method. It will take a simple and ideal part, whose costs are known and then use factors to
produce the final costs. The application calculates sophisticated estimates about how much it would cost to produce a single
part. The developed software seems to work surprisingly well. It may not tell the final truth about the component costs but
can be used to open the eyes of the designer when the costs of the component under design are growing too high. It can also
be used to find the most suitable manufacturing method and when considering the make or buy decisions.

Mechanical Characterization of Biodegradable Linen Fiber CompositesIJMER
The conventional materials like iron, mild steel, cast iron etc are having good mechanical properties. Hence they are widely used in structural engineering applications. These conventional materials have some defects like formation of rust, low weight to strength ratio, high production cost. To
overcome these defects, engineers started fabricating composite materials. Composites exhibit peculiar
properties like different strengths in different directions, rust resistant, high strength to weight ratio, but
they pollute the environment. Now the natural fibre composites are widely used in automobile industry.
The natural fibres and resins are used to fabricate an eco friendly composite material. Lack of resources
and increasing environmental pollution has evoked great interest in the research of materials that are
friendly to our health and environment. Bio polymer composites fabricated from natural fibres is currently
the most promising area in polymer sciences. This is designed to assess the possibility of fibre as
reinforcing material in composites. Epoxy resin was made a stiffened panel to conduct tensile test. In this
paper it is aimed to explain all possible ways to use natural composites in automobile components. The
main advantages of using natural fibers are their degradability and light weight. They are environment
friendly and also increase the fuel economy

Influence of Mineralogy and Fabric on the Engineering Properties of the Miang...IJMER
Abstract: The major problem associated with the use of rock aggregates in engineering construction, is the difficulty of
predicting their probable field performance. This is mainly due to the inadequate understanding of the decisive factors that
control their engineering behavior. The mineralogy and fabric of the Miango granite porphyry was studied to assess their
influence on engineering properties. The uniaxial compressive strength and aggregate crushing values show that the rocks are
weak while other tests such as aggregate impact strength, water absorption, and absorption under saturation, soundness and
specific gravity values are fairly good. However, thin section studies revealed three distinctive features which greatly influence
the physico-mechanical properties: (a) abundant fractures of varying sizes (b) Sericitization of the orthoclase and or plagioclase
feldspars (c) intergrowth of quartz and or orthoclase feldspars. The quartz grains shows extensive cracking which further reduces
their mechanical strength. The strength loss of the granite porphyry could be attributed to the presence of the fractures on the
quartz grains and the sericitization of the orthoclase and plagioclase feldspars. Geotechnical characterization of the rocks shows
that they can be utilized as roadstone or could be polished and used as facing stones because of their non disintegration to
sulphate attack and the large feldspar phenocrysts in the rock.

A Study on Mathematical Statistics to Evaluate Relationship between AttributesIJMER
The goodness of fit of a statistical model describes how well it fits a set of observations. Measures of
goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy between observed values and the values expected under the
model in question. Such measures can be used in statistical hypothesis testing, e.g. to test for normality of
residuals, to test whether two samples are drawn from identical distributions (see Kolmogorov–Smirnov test), or
whether outcome frequencies follow a specified distribution (see Pearson's chi-squared test).

Study of Boundary Value Analysis in Structural Engineering and Fluid Mechanic...ijtsrd
This paper presents a focused study on properties of porous concrete to widen its application to structural engineering. Mechanical properties like compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, flexural strength and physical properties like density, permeability and porosity are studied. To determine those parameters, twenty seven cubes, cylinders and prisms were tested. Also, three polymer impregnated porous concrete slabs were tested under pure bending moment to study the efficiency of selected resin to integrate particle of concrete to achieve a new generation in using porous concrete in structural engineering. Three different cement content specimens of porous concrete were considered, studied cement contents are 200 kg m3, 300 kg m3 and 400 kg m3. The results show that, increasing the cement content can increase the compressive strength, indirect tensile strength and flexural strength. Density of porous concrete is less than conventional concrete by 21 but permeability factor recorded higher value compared to conventional concrete by sixteen times. Increasing the cement content has no significant effect on either ultimate load or maximum deflection of polymer impregnated porous concrete slabs but the results recorded an achievement to use this concrete in structural engineering applications and give an easy way to cast special concrete like polymer concrete without special tools.

- Translucent concrete is a concrete based material with light-transferring properties,
obtained due to embedded light optical elements like Optical fibers used in concrete. Light is conducted
through the concrete from one end to the other. This results into a certain light pattern on the other
surface, depending on the fiber structure. Optical fibers transmit light so effectively that there is
virtually no loss of light conducted through the fibers. This paper deals with the modeling of such
translucent or transparent concrete blocks and panel and their usage and also the advantages it brings
in the field. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of
illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an
architectural purpose of the building

Geochemistry and Genesis of Kammatturu Iron Ores of Devagiri Formation, Sandu...IJMER
The Greenstone belts of Karnataka are enriched in BIFs in Dharwar craton, where Iron
formations are confined to the basin shelf, clearly separated from the deeper-water iron formation that
accumulated at the basin margin and flanking the marine basin. Geochemical data procured in terms of
major, trace and REE are plotted in various diagrams to interpret the genesis of BIFs. Al2O3, Fe2O3 (T),
TiO2, CaO, and SiO2 abundances and ratios show a wide variation. Ni, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Rb, Sr, U, Th,
ΣREE, La, Ce and Eu anomalies and their binary relationships indicate that wherever the terrigenous
component has increased, the concentration of elements of felsic such as Zr and Hf has gone up. Elevated
concentrations of Ni, Co and Sc are contributed by chlorite and other components characteristic of basic
volcanic debris. The data suggest that these formations were generated by chemical and clastic
sedimentary processes on a shallow shelf. During transgression, chemical precipitation took place at the
sediment-water interface, whereas at the time of regression. Iron ore formed with sedimentary structures
and textures in Kammatturu area, in a setting where the water column was oxygenated.

Non linear analysis of Robot Gun Support Structure using Equivalent Dynamic A...IJMER
Robot guns are being increasingly employed in automotive manufacturing to replace
risky jobs and also to increase productivity. Using a single robot for a single operation proves to be
expensive. Hence for cost optimization, multiple guns are mounted on a single robot and multiple
operations are performed. Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done
simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of
dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld
locations. The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G
force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and
subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating
procedure when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical
aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone
meshing .

Intrusion Detection and Forensics based on decision tree and Association rule...IJMER
This paper present an approach based on the combination of, two techniques using
decision tree and Association rule mining for Probe attack detection. This approach proves to be
better than the traditional approach of generating rules for fuzzy expert system by clustering methods.
Association rule mining for selecting the best attributes together and decision tree for identifying the
best parameters together to create the rules for fuzzy expert system. After that rules for fuzzy expert
system are generated using association rule mining and decision trees. Decision trees is generated for
dataset and to find the basic parameters for creating the membership functions of fuzzy inference
system. Membership functions are generated for the probe attack. Based on these rules we have
created the fuzzy inference system that is used as an input to neuro-fuzzy system. Fuzzy inference
system is loaded to neuro-fuzzy toolbox as an input and the final ANFIS structure is generated for
outcome of neuro-fuzzy approach. The experiments and evaluations of the proposed method were
done with NSL-KDD intrusion detection dataset. As the experimental results, the proposed approach
based on the combination of, two techniques using decision tree and Association rule mining
efficiently detected probe attacks. Experimental results shows better results for detecting intrusions as
compared to others existing methods
Natural Language Ambiguity and its Effect on Machine LearningIJMER
"Natural language processing" here refers to the use and ability of systems to process
sentences in a natural language such as English, rather than in a specialized artificial computer
language such as C++. The systems of real interest here are digital computers of the type we think of as
personal computers and mainframes. Of course humans can process natural languages, but for us the
question is whether digital computers can or ever will process natural languages. We have tried to
explore in depth and break down the types of ambiguities persistent throughout the natural languages
and provide an answer to the question “How it affects the machine translation process and thereby
machine learning as whole?” .
Today in era of software industry there is no perfect software framework available for
analysis and software development. Currently there are enormous number of software development
process exists which can be implemented to stabilize the process of developing a software system. But no
perfect system is recognized till yet which can help software developers for opting of best software
development process. This paper present the framework of skillful system combined with Likert scale. With
the help of Likert scale we define a rule based model and delegate some mass score to every process and
develop one tool name as MuxSet which will help the software developers to select an appropriate
development process that may enhance the probability of system success.
Material Parameter and Effect of Thermal Load on Functionally Graded CylindersIJMER
The present study investigates the creep in a thick-walled composite cylinders made
up of aluminum/aluminum alloy matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The distribution
of SiCp is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of
the cylinder. The creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep
law with a stress exponent of 5. The composite cylinders are subjected to internal pressure which is
applied gradually and steady state condition of stress is assumed. The creep parameters required to
be used in creep law, are extracted by conducting regression analysis on the available experimental
results. The mathematical models have been developed to describe steady state creep in the composite
cylinder by using von-Mises criterion. Regression analysis is used to obtain the creep parameters
required in the study. The basic equilibrium equation of the cylinder and other constitutive equations
have been solved to obtain creep stresses in the cylinder. The effect of varying particle size, particle
content and temperature on the stresses in the composite cylinder has been analyzed. The study
revealed that the stress distributions in the cylinder do not vary significantly for various combinations
of particle size, particle content and operating temperature except for slight variation observed for
varying particle content. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) emerged and led to the development
of superior heat resistant materials.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

I. Introduction
Concrete is the most widely used construction material all over the world due to economy and easy availability of its constituents. To enhance the durability of concrete structures, the internal structure of concrete must be improved to make it impervious. Due to the formation of three dimensional polymer network in the hardened cement based matrices, polymer cement concretes have high tensile strength, good ductile behaviour, and high impact resistance capability. Consequently, the porosity is decreased and pore radius is refined because of the voidfilling effect of this network. In addition to this, improvement in the transition zone as a result of the adhesion of a polymer is also obtained (Silvaa et al. 2001;Ohama et al. 1991; Chandra and Flodin, 1987).In the last two decades, many research studieshave been carried out on the use of different polymerssuitable for admixing into fresh concrete to improve themechanical properties, among them styrene butadienerubber (SBR) latex has been widely used in the past (Joaoand Marcos, 2002; Ru W. et al., 2006; Zhengxian Y. etal., 2009; Baoshan H. et al., 2010). Latex is a polymersystem formed by the emulsion polymerization ofmonomers and it contains 50% solids by weight. Styrenebutadiene, polyvinyl acetate, acrylic and natural rubbersare the best examples of polymers which are usually usedin latex. Since mechanical properties, hydration processin cement and durability of concrete are highly dependenton the state of micro-structure, previous research studieshave shown that the polymer as modifier is promising inimproving micro-structure of concrete (Lewis and Lewis,1990; Ohama, 1997).Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex is a typeof high-polymer dispersion emulsion composed ofbutadiene, styrene and water and it can be successfullybonded to many materials. Due to its goodintermiscibility with vinyl pyridine latex for fabricdipping, its major engineering application is in tire dipfabric industry. In civil engineering field, it is used toreplace cement as binder to improve tensile, flexural andcompressive strengths of concrete. SBR is white thickliquid in appearance; it has good viscosity with 52.7%water content (Baoshan H. et al., 2010). In this present contribution, the effect of adding locally available SBR latex known as “RIPSTAR”- 148 on water absorption and compressive strength of normal strength concrete has been investigated. In cement based composites, water absorption is an important parameter as it is a measure of resistance against carbonation migration. Water absorption value indirectly provides information about the porosity of concrete. Compressive strength development of the concrete in the presence of SBR latex was studied at 7 and 28 days of age. Similarly, water absorption of Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) was also investigated at 7 and 28 days of age.
Abstract: In this research, effect of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex on water absorption and compressive strength of concrete has been studied. A locally available “RIPSTAR-148” is used as SBR Latex.
It has been observed that SBR latex improves the internal structure of the latex modified concrete resulting in considerable reduction in the water absorption value at 28 days of age. However, at early age, the effect of SBR latex on water absorption is adverse. Same trend is noticed for the compressive strength; at 7 days of age, SBR latex has negative effect while at 28 days, the addition of SBR latex in concrete results in enhancement of compressive strength. Based on the results of this study, latex modified concrete made using “RIPSTAR-148” may be recommended to be used in RC structures in INDIA. However, for the mixes rich in cement, the dosage of “RIPSTAR-148” needs to be adjusted to maintain required workability of concrete.
Key words: Concrete; SBR Latex; slump; compressive strength; water absorption.

Two different types of admixtures were used to improve the fresh and hardened properties of the latex modified concrete. First admixture used is named as ADDMIX 300, which is a new generation admixture based on modified polycarboxylic ether. Second type of admixture was ADDMIX 345. It is a liquid admixture which acts on the cement particles in the mix combining the effect of a powerful plasticizer and deflocculating agent with controlled retardation.

Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) In this research, latexmodified concrete compositions containing 10%,15% and20% SBR latex by weight of cement were prepared.Concrete cubes 100×100×100 mm were cast using these latex modifiedconcrete to perform compressive strength and water absorption tests. Since the SBR latex used in this study contained 45% of water, the quantity of water required to be added in the concrete was accordingly adjusted to keep the water cement ratio 0.40 for Mix.

Sample Preparation: All concrete mixtures (Control concrete and Latex modified concrete) were prepared using a mechanical mixer. Concrete cube specimens of 100×100×100mm were cast. The specimens were cured in a curing room at 30ºC temperature and 90% relative humidity. Both control and latex modified concretes were tested at 7 and 28 days of age to get compressive strength and water absorption values. Compressive strength: The compressive strength of concrete compositions was determined. Thecompressive strength tests were conducted on a compression testing machine. For each concrete composition three concretecube specimens were tested. In this paper, averagevalue of three samples has been reported. Water absorption: For determination of waterabsorption of concrete specimen, wide variety of tests hasbeen developed in the world. In these tests, usuallyweight gain of test specimen, volume of water entering the test specimen, depth of water penetration from surface or a combination of two is measured. Standard testing procedures to determine water absorption of hardened concrete have been developed in the world, for example, American standards [ASTM C 642] and Britishstandards [BS 1881-122].In this study, American standard testingprocedure [ASTM C 642] is followed to determine waterabsorption of latex modified concretes. In this test,concrete specimens are immersed in water for 48 hoursand after that water absorbed by the specimen ismeasured. ASTM C642 defines water absorption as ratioof the water absorbed to dry weight of test specimen. Theexpression to calculate water absorption is given in Equation 1. Water Absorption = [(B-A)/A]×100 Eq. 1 where, A = Dry weight of test specimen B = Wet weightof test specimen after immersion in water for 48hrs
III. Results And Discussion
Slump Tests Slump tests were performed on both control and latex modified concretes and the results are presented in Fig.1. It is obvious in this figure that, the addition of SBR Latex increases slump value of concrete.This shows that SBR latex has plasticizing effect due to which workability of concrete is increased. It was observed during the slump test that Mix containing 20% SBR latex collapsed and it was not possible to measure slump. In some cases, higher value of slump is not desirable as it will result in segregation. Consequently, mechanical properties of resultingconcrete will be affected adversely.
Figure1: Slump values of Control and Latex Modififide Concrete Compressive Strength The results of the compressive strength test performed as per ASTM C39 for Mixcontaining same percentage of SBR aregraphically represented in Fig.2 along with values of control concrete. It is observed that in case of LMC made using Mix with aggregate to cement ratio 3.25, compressive strength is decreased with the addition of “RIPSTAR”148-latex at 7 days of age. On the contrary, compressive strength of concrete is increased at 28 days of age with the addition of “RIPSTAR”148-Latex.
Decrease and increase in the compressive strength at 7 and 28 days, respectively, is due to the formation of polymer film on the surface that retain the internal pressure for continuing cement hydration. In addition to this, polymers require time for the development of polymer structure and formation of Portland

cement matrix. This polymer film matures withage; this is the reason that at 28 days of age, increase incompressive strength is registered with the addition of “RIPSTAR”148-latex. However at 7 days, the development ofpolymer structure and cement hydration is in process offormation, consequently the effect of “RIPSTAR”148-latex additionon compressive strength is negative.
Figure 2: Compressive Strength of Mix containing same percentage of “RIPSTAR”148-latex Water Absorption Water absorption values of Mix with different dosages of SBR Latex areshown in Fig.3 along with valuesof control mixes. In such Mixes , waterabsorption of LMC was more at 7 days of age. However,at 28 days of age, all three latex modified concretes (i.e.,Mix -10% SBR, and Mix-20% SBR)showed water absorption values lesser than the valueobtained with control mix.The decrease in waterabsorption of latex modified concrete containing 10%,15% and 20% “RIPSTAR 148”-latex at 28 days is due to theformation of polymer film which makes the concretewater tight. The results about water absorption of controland LMCs clearly depict that at an early age, addition oflocally available “RIPSTAR 148”-latex has adverse effects.However, with increase of age, polymer film is formed which results in reduction of water absorption ofconcrete.

IV. Conclusions
Based on the results and observations madein this experimental research study, the followingconclusions are drawn: 1. By the addition of locally available SBR latex (“RIPSTAR 148”-latex) the slump of the concrete is increased. 2. The presence of “RIPSTAR 148”-latex is proved to be effectiveto reduce the ingress of water in concrete. However, forthe mixes rich in cement, the dosage of “RIPSTAR 148”-latex shouldbe so adjusted that the workability of concrete shouldremain in controlled limits to avoid the highly flowableconcrete due to plasticizing effect of “RIPSTAR 148”-latex. 3. Early age compressive strength of the concrete isreduced by the addition of “RIPSTAR 148”-latex.However, thestrength is increased at 28 days of age. In comparison tocontrol concrete, maximum increase at 28 days was 14%with the addition of 20%“RIPSTAR 148”-latex in concrete mixhaving w/c ratio 0.4 and aggregate to cement ratio 3.25. 4. The“RIPSTAR 148”-latex contributes significantly to thereduction of water absorption of concrete at 28 days ofage. On the contrary, it is seen that“RIPSTAR 148”-latex causesincrease in the water absorption of concrete at early age.Maximum decrease in the water absorption of LMC with20% “RIPSTAR 148”-latex w/c ratio 0.4 and aggregate to cementratio 3.25 was 44%compared to control mix.
