This document summarizes research on using fly ash to stabilize soil. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion that can improve soil properties when mixed in. The study tested various properties of soil mixed with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% fly ash content. Tests showed that fly ash reduced the plasticity index and increased the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of the soil. Specifically, adding 15% fly ash reduced the plasticity index to 0, meaning the soil became non-plastic. Fly ash addition also resulted in appreciable increases to the CBR, which can reduce required pavement thickness. Previous studies also found fly ash improves soil strength, reduces expansion, and lowers hydraulic conductivity. The research aims to utilize
Soil is a peculiar material. Some waste materials such Fly Ash, rice husk ash, pond ash may use to
make the soil to be stable. Addition of such materials will increase the physical as well as chemical properties of
the soil. Some expecting properties to be improved are CBR value, shear strength, liquidity index, plasticity
index, unconfined compressive strength and bearing capacity etc. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
effect of Fly Ash derived from combustion of sub-bituminous coal at electric power plants in stabilization of soft
fine-grained red soils. California bearing ratio (CBR) and other strength property tests were conducted on soil.
The soil is in range of plasticity, with plasticity indices ranging between 25 and 30. Tests were conducted on
soils and soil–Fly Ash mixtures prepared at optimum water content of 9% .Addition of Fly Ash resulted in
appreciable increases in the CBR of the soil. For water contents 9% wet of optimum, CBRs of the soils are
found in varying percentage such that 3,5,6and 9.We will found optimum CBR value of the soil is 6%.Increment
of CBR value is used to reduce the thickness of the pavement. And increasing the bearing capacity of soil.
Soil Stabilization using Fly Ash and Cotton Fiberijtsrd
Mixing of fiber for ground improvement has been practiced for recent years. Many researches has shown the expected results. This paper mainly deals with the ground improvement technique using both Fly Ash and cotton fiber. The combination of them gives a satisfactory value of its practical application. Both Fly Ash and Cotton fiber are treated as waste materials in our country in spite of having its engineering significances. Here all the tests were performed accepting the Fly Ash percent is 10 for maximum bearing capacity of soil. Three types of sample were prepared as per 0.3%, 0.5%, 0.7% of cotton fiber. For instances, it deliberately increases the Dry Density of soil up to 48.05 KN/m3 where as normal unreinforced soil sample gives about 22 KN/m3. The Ultimate bearing capacity increases up to 80.65 Kpa whereas the unreinforced soil sample gives for 35 Kpa. The result of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test gives desired value (23%) than unreinforced soil (17%). The CBR test is performed only for 0.7% of cotton fiber where maximum stress is found. The most significant part in this study is to show the variation on cotton fiber for ground improvement technique at different ratio. This paper shows the gradual increase in Deviator stress for UCS tests for the increase in the percent of cotton fiber mixing with Fly Ash. This research may meet the need of ground having low strength at important sites.

Partial Replacement of Cement with Marble Dust PowderIJERA Editor
The waste generated from the industries cause environmental problems. Hence the reuse of this waste material
can be emphasized. MarbleDust Powder (MDP) is a developing composite materialthatwillallow the
concrèteindustry to optimisemateriel use, generateeconomicbenefits and build structures thatwillstrong, durable
and sensitive to environnement. MDP is by-product obtained during the quarrying process from the parent
marble rock; which contains high calcium oxide content of more than 50%. The potential use of MDP can be an
ideal choice for substituting in a cementitious binder as the reactivity efficiency increases due to the presence of
lime. In this research work, the waste MDP passing through 90 microns,has used for investigating of hardened
concrete properties. Furthermore, the effect of different percentage replacement of MDP on the compressive
strength, splitting tensile strength (indirect tensile strength)&flexural strength has been observed. Inthis
experimental study, the effect of MDP in concrete on strength ispresented. Five concrete mixtures containing
0%, 5%, 10%, and 20% MDP as cement replacement by weightbasis has been prepared. Water/cement ratio
(0.43) was kept constant, in all the concretemixes. Compressive strength, split tensile strength & flexural
strength of the concrete mixtures has been obtainedat 7 and 28 days. The results of the laboratory work showed
thatreplacement of cement with MDP increase, upto 10% for compressive strength,&upto 15% for split
tensilestrength &flexural strength of concrete.

Investigation of behaviour of concrete on adding crumbAbhimanyu Saraswat
Concrete is the basic ingredient for all types of construction. The current scenario of rapid urbanization and modernization, has resulted in escalated demand for aggregates, sand, water and cement. This demand has been met by causing extra burden on the environment. This thesis was an noble attempt to reduce that burden by replacing sand by "Crumb Rubber".
INVESTIGATION ON FLY ASH AS A PARTIAL CEMENT REPLACEMENT IN CONCRETESk Md Nayar
The use of Portland cement in concrete construction is under critical review due to high
amount of carbon dioxide gas released to the atmosphere during the production of cement. In
recent years, attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash to partially replace the use of Portland
cement in concrete are gathering momentum. Most of this by-product material is currently
dumped in landfills, creating a threat to the environment.
Fly ash based concrete is a ‘new’ material that does not need the presence of Portland
cement as a binder. Instead, the source of materials such as fly ash, that are rich in Silicon (Si)
and Aluminium (Al), are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder.
This project reports the details of development of the process of making fly ash-based
concrete. Due to the lack of knowledge and know-how of making of fly ash based concrete in the
published literature, this study adopted a rigorous trial and error process to develop the
technology of making, and to identify the salient parameters affecting the properties of fresh and
hardened concrete. As far as possible, the technology that is currently in use to manufacture and
testing of ordinary Portland cement concrete were used.
Fly ash was chosen as the basic material to be activated by the geopolimerization process
to be the concrete binder, to totally replace the use of Portland cement. The binder is the only
difference to the ordinary Portland cement concrete. To activate the Silicon and Aluminium
content in fly ash, a combination of sodium hydroxide solution and sodium silicate solution was
used.
Manufacturing process comprising material preparation, mixing, placing, compaction and
curing is reported in the thesis. Napthalene-based superplasticiser was found to be useful to
improve the workability of fresh fly ash-based concrete, as well as the addition of extra water.
The main parameters affecting the compressive strength of hardened fly ash-based concrete are
the curing temperature and curing time, The molar H2O-to-Na2O ratio, and mixing time.
Fresh fly ash-based concrete has been able to remain workable up to at least 120 minutes
without any sign of setting and without any degradation in the compressive strength. Providing a
rest period for fresh concrete after casting before the start of curing up to five days increased the
compressive strength of hardened concrete.
The elastic properties of hardened fly ash-based concrete, i,e. the modulus of elasticity,
the Poisson’s ratio, and the indirect tensile strength, are similar to those of ordinary Portland
cement concrete. The stress-strain relations of fly ash-based concrete fit well with the expression
developed for ordinary Portland cement concrete.

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.
