It reviews other studies on using stone dust and tire rubber in concrete and outlines the materials and test methods used in this study, including concrete cube tests with varying replacement levels of stone dust for sand and tires for coarse aggregate.
This document reviews research on using bottom ash as a partial replacement for sand in concrete. It summarizes findings from 10 research papers on the effect on properties such as workability, density, compressive strength, and splitting tensile strength. The key findings are:
1) Workability and density of concrete decreases as the amount of bottom ash replacement increases, due to the lower specific gravity of bottom ash compared to sand.
2) Compressive strength is initially lower for bottom ash concrete but can reach or exceed normal concrete strengths at later ages, with replacements of 30-40% bottom ash achieving strengths equivalent to normal concrete at 28 days by 90 days.
3) Splitting tensile strength also decreases with
This document presents a literature review on the use of manufactured sand as a replacement for natural sand in self-compacting concrete. Several studies that investigated properties of self-compacting concrete made with manufactured sand are summarized. The studies found that workability and strength were generally maintained when replacing up to 30-50% of natural sand with manufactured sand. Higher replacement levels led to reduced strengths. Other studies examined using other materials besides manufactured sand as partial replacements for natural sand, such as seashells, recycled concrete aggregates, and waste tire rubber. Overall, the literature shows that manufactured sand and other materials can partially replace natural sand in self-compacting concrete with minimal effects on properties.
This document summarizes a study on the impact of adding a colloidal admixture to self-compacting concrete used in bored piles constructed in mud. Seven mixtures of mud with varying percentages of sand were created and used to fill PVC test piles. Self-compacting concrete with and without a colloidal admixture was then poured into the piles. Tests on cores taken from different pile locations showed that concrete with the colloidal admixture had higher ultrasonic velocities and compressive strengths, indicating a more uniform and dense microstructure. The mixture with the highest percentage of sand (20%) in the mud performed best when the colloidal admixture was added, demonstrating its role in preventing contamination from sand particles.

Cement is a major construction material worldwide. However, given the escalating costs of cement and the environmental hazards associated with the use of cement there is need to develop alternative, costeffective, non-conventional, locally available materials, especially those that can partially or wholly replace cement. This paper presents the results on the study of the effect of local brewery waste and bitter cassava flour on the compressive strength and shrinkage of plaster. The test was made with cement replaced by local brewery waste or bitter cassava (10-50%) and cement/sand mix as a control. The results showed an optimum of 20% cement replacement with bitter cassava for plaster mortar for high cost houses (18.1Mpa) and 10% cement replacement with local brewery waste for plaster mortar for low cost houses (2.1Mpa). Result show a maximum shrinkage of 8mm at 50% replacement with bitter cassava and zero shrinkage for 50% replacement with local brewery waste. Furthermore only the control, 40% and 50% with bitter cassava flour showed cracks of about 2mm for mix ratio 1:3 and 1:4.
- The study analyzed the effect of adding crumb rubber, produced from recycled tire scraps, on the properties of concrete by replacing aggregates.
- Concrete mixes were prepared with 5%, 10%, and 15% replacement of aggregates with crumb rubber. Testing found that initial compressive strength decreased but final strength increased compared to ordinary concrete.
- When replacing fine aggregates, strength initially increased up to 5% replacement and then decreased with more rubber added. Replacing coarse aggregates steadily reduced strength.
Experimental Study on Concrete with Waste Granite Powder as an AdmixtureIJERA Editor
Granite fines which are the byproduct produced in granite factories while cutting huge granite rocks to the desired shapes. Granite fines are used as a filler material in the concrete, replacing the fine aggregate which will help in filling up the pores in the concrete. Filling up of the pores by granite fines increase the strength of the concrete and also a material which is abundantly to investigate the strength behavior of concrete with use of granite fines as an additive. Concrete is prepared with granite fines as a replacement of fine concrete in 4 different propositions namely 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% and various tests such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are investigated and these values are compared with the conventional concrete without the granite fines. It was observed that substitution of 7.5% of cement by weight with Granite fines in concrete resulted in an increase in compressive strength for both 7 & 28 days to 33.14 & 43.40 N/mm2 compared to 23.26 & 39.41 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. Tensile strength too followed a similar pattern with a 7.5% substitution with granite fines increasing the tensile strength for 7 & 28 days to 2.87 &4.19 N/mm2 compared with a 2.4 & 3.4 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. However flexure strength of 7.5% granite fine replacement exhibited a good improvement of flexural strength for 28 days to 6.34 N/mm2compared to a 3.35 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. Further investigations revealed that to attain the same strength of conventional concrete a 10% substitution with granite fines is effective. So it can be concluded that when locally available granite is a good partial substitute to concrete and improves compressive, tensile and flexure characteristics of concrete, while simultaneously offsetting the overall cost of concrete substantially.

Analysis on concrete made from over burned bricksIJARIIT
Concrete is a composite material used for the ground that all considerate designing structure is developed with concrete
in an efforts to find an alternative material in concrete much work has been focused to use brick aggregates in producing normal
strength or even higher strength by far the most common course aggregates used in concrete is obtained from natural rock, but
type of rock suitable for concrete making is not available locally and everywhere. However, there is hardly any literature
producing previous concrete using bricks chips as course aggregates. The research was conducted to study the suitability crushed
over burnt bricks as alternative course aggregates for concrete production. The concrete cube beams and cylinders of M-25, M-
30, and M-35 grade were thrown in this trail explore work and try to analyze different properties of concrete with crushed over
burnt bricks as an alternative material. The physical properties like compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and
workability with alternative material was used with a dosage of 10%, 20% and 30% in concrete with the age of 7, 14, 28 and 50
days of curing. The general properties of fresh and hardened concrete were tried and the outcomes were dissected. Over Burnt
bricks were casted and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and workability. The result shows that
the aggregate that concrete derived from Over Burnt bricks aggregate attained lower strength than the regular concrete. More
detailed and elaborated work is recommended with different mix ratio and a different proportion of Over Burnt aggregates for
a better conclusion.
This document discusses a study investigating the behavior of concrete with the addition of crumb rubber. A group of civil engineering students at Sharda University conducted an experiment replacing sand in concrete mixes with crumb rubber. The goal was to address the environmental challenge of waste tire disposal and explore potential uses of crumb rubber in concrete. The study examined the compressive and split tensile strengths of rubberized concrete mixes compared to normal concrete. There was a decline in compressive strength but increased ductility when crumb rubber was added. The document proposes uses for rubberized concrete in lightweight construction and infrastructure where shock absorption is beneficial.
Use of Granite Waste as Partial Substitute to Cement in ConcreteIJERA Editor
With the ever increasing cost of construction materials there is a need to curtail the same by using cheaper substitutes. In this investigation Granite Slurry (GS) was used as partial substitute in proportions varying from 5% to 20% by weight to cement in concrete and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength and flexure strength. It was observed that substitution of 10% of cement by weight with GS in concrete resulted in an increase in compressive strength to 48 N/mm2 compared to 35 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. Tensile strength too followed a similar pattern with a 10% substitution with GS increasing the tensile strength to 3.6N/mm2 compared with a 2.4 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. However flexure strength of 10% GS replacement exhibited a good improvement of flexural strength to 4.6 N/mm2compared to a 3.2 N/mm2 of conventional concrete. Further investigations revealed that to attain the same strength of conventional concrete a 20% substitution with GS is effective. So it can be concluded that when locally available GS is a good partial substitute to concrete and improves compressive, tensile and flexure characteristics of concrete, while simultaneously offsetting the overall cost of concrete substantially.

This work presents the determination of the mechanical properties (compression, split tensile and flexural tests) of the
specimens (cubes, cylinders, and beams). The specimens are of M60 grade high strength concrete which includes ground
granulated blast furnace slag (10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40%) and Fly ash (10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40%) to obtain the desired
strengths and properties. Finally, we used in combination of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag in different
percentages as replacement of cement and concrete was prepared. We used SP430-Sulphonated Naphthalene Polymers as a
super plasticizer for better workability for high performance concrete. Dosage for super plasticizers is same for all mix
proportions. We casted concrete cubes, beams, and cylinders and are kept for curing for a period of 28days. The tests are
conducted after 7, 14 and 28 days of curing period. To obtain such desired strength that cannot be obtained from conventional
concrete and by the current method, a large number of trial mixes with different percentages of fly ash and different percentages
of ground granulated blast furnace slag are required to select the desired combination of materials that meet the required
strength.

This document summarizes a study on the effects of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) on the geotechnical properties of black cotton soil. The study involved testing black cotton soil mixed with varying percentages of GGBS. Tests showed that adding GGBS increased the maximum dry density and decreased the optimum moisture content of the soil. It also significantly reduced swelling, and increased the unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio of the soil. Using 30% GGBS improved the engineering properties of the black cotton soil to meet specifications. Therefore, GGBS can effectively stabilize black cotton soil.
This document studies the strength characteristics of concrete when sand is partially replaced by granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). Tests were conducted by replacing sand at 10%, 20%, and 30% with GBFS at various water-cement ratios of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7. The compressive strength was tested at curing ages of 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 90 days. The results show that replacing sand with 10-20% GBFS increased the compressive strength at lower water-cement ratios of 0.4-0.5. However, replacing sand with 30% GBFS decreased the compressive strength.
This document presents a student project on using waste plastic bottles to improve soil. The objectives are to provide an alternative solution for plastic waste disposal, use plastic waste to economically stabilize soil, and determine the optimum plastic content. The literature review discusses previous research on plastic improving soil bearing capacity and strength. The research methodology involves triaxial and direct shear tests to measure shear strength and determine the effect of increasing plastic content on bearing and shear capacities. The expected outcome is that bearing capacity will initially increase with plastic content up to an optimum level, above which it will decrease.

This document summarizes an experimental study on using quarry dust as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. The study found that replacing up to 50% of fine aggregate with quarry dust resulted in higher compressive strength compared to normal concrete. However, strength decreased with replacements over 50%. Using quarry dust can help reduce the environmental impacts of waste dust while also addressing the shortage of natural sand. The results indicate that quarry dust is a suitable replacement for fine aggregate in concrete.
This document summarizes an experimental study on the behavior of concrete with partial replacements of fine aggregate with copper slag and cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Concrete cubes, cylinders, and prisms were produced with 0-40% fine aggregate replaced by copper slag and 0-20% cement replaced by GGBS. The specimens were tested after 7, 14, and 28 days to determine their compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. The results showed that concrete strength generally increased up to 40% fine aggregate replacement by copper slag and 15% cement replacement by GGBS compared to conventional concrete. This study aims to reduce construction costs while promoting sustainable use of industrial byproducts.

This document studied the effect of adding waste rubber to concrete. It conducted tests with concrete mixtures replacing the coarse aggregates with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 100% rubber by volume. The results showed that as the percentage of rubber replacement increased, the compressive strength, slump, and density of the concrete decreased. However, adding rubber improves the concrete's elasticity and deformation properties while providing an environmentally friendly way to dispose of waste tires. The study concluded that rubberized concrete is most suitable for applications not requiring high strength, such as concrete pavements.
Fundamental properties of self compacting concrete utilizing waste rubber tir...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Utilization of waste rubber tires in concrete technology is a popular research topic over the last two decades. Reuse of waste
rubber tires in self-compacting concrete leads sustainable construction. Several studies have been conducted on incorporation of
waste rubber tires in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This review paper draws general conclusions on fundamental properties of
SCC by summarising and comparing many independent research works and justifies weather these waste tire aggregates are
possible to utilize in self-compacting concrete or not . From the review it is evident that the waste rubber tire aggregates can be
used in SCC as partial replacement of both coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. The result Although the mechanical properties
of SCC experiences negative effect for introduction of waste rubber tire aggregates, still performance of rubberized SCC is better
than ordinary SCC. Fresh properties of SCC incorporating rubber tire aggregates also is in acceptable limit.

Fire performance of recycled rubber-filled high-strength concreteMario Parra
1) The document studies the effects of adding recycled rubber from tires to high-strength concrete (HSC).
2) Adding up to 3% rubber by volume did not significantly reduce the strength of HSC, while improving fire performance by reducing explosive spalling.
3) Higher rubber contents like 5-8% produced a progressive reduction in strength and stiffness of HSC, but may improve dynamic behavior and fire performance due to channels for vapor escape.
This document summarizes a study on using crumb rubber from wasted tires to develop high-performance multi-layer bulletproof concrete panels. The proposed panel uses a double layer of rubberized concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Testing showed that single layers of rubberized concrete or SFRC did not stop bullets, while the double layer configuration was able to stop bullets without penetration. Analysis of acceleration and displacement values indicated that the rubberized concrete layer absorbed impact energy and reduced stresses on the panel compared to SFRC alone. Therefore, partially replacing the front layer of bulletproof panels with rubberized concrete enhances performance while providing an application for recycled tire rubber.

This document summarizes a study on the effects of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) on the geotechnical properties of black cotton soil. The study involved testing black cotton soil mixed with varying percentages of GGBS. Tests showed that adding GGBS increased the maximum dry density and decreased the optimum moisture content of the soil. It also significantly reduced swelling, and increased the unconfined compressive strength and California bearing ratio of the soil. Using 30% GGBS improved the engineering properties of the black cotton soil to meet specifications. Therefore, GGBS can effectively stabilize black cotton soil.
This document studies the strength characteristics of concrete when sand is partially replaced by granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). Tests were conducted by replacing sand at 10%, 20%, and 30% with GBFS at various water-cement ratios of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7. The compressive strength was tested at curing ages of 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 90 days. The results show that replacing sand with 10-20% GBFS increased the compressive strength at lower water-cement ratios of 0.4-0.5. However, replacing sand with 30% GBFS decreased the compressive strength.

It conducted tests with concrete mixtures replacing the coarse aggregates with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 100% rubber by volume. The results showed that as the percentage of rubber replacement increased, the compressive strength, slump, and density of the concrete decreased. However, adding rubber improves the concrete's elasticity and deformation properties while providing an environmentally friendly way to dispose of waste tires. The study concluded that rubberized concrete is most suitable for applications not requiring high strength, such as concrete pavements.
Fundamental properties of self compacting concrete utilizing waste rubber tir...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Utilization of waste rubber tires in concrete technology is a popular research topic over the last two decades. Reuse of waste
rubber tires in self-compacting concrete leads sustainable construction. Several studies have been conducted on incorporation of
waste rubber tires in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This review paper draws general conclusions on fundamental properties of
SCC by summarising and comparing many independent research works and justifies weather these waste tire aggregates are
possible to utilize in self-compacting concrete or not . From the review it is evident that the waste rubber tire aggregates can be
used in SCC as partial replacement of both coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. The result Although the mechanical properties
of SCC experiences negative effect for introduction of waste rubber tire aggregates, still performance of rubberized SCC is better
than ordinary SCC. Fresh properties of SCC incorporating rubber tire aggregates also is in acceptable limit.

1) The document studies the effects of adding recycled rubber from tires to high-strength concrete (HSC).
2) Adding up to 3% rubber by volume did not significantly reduce the strength of HSC, while improving fire performance by reducing explosive spalling.
3) Higher rubber contents like 5-8% produced a progressive reduction in strength and stiffness of HSC, but may improve dynamic behavior and fire performance due to channels for vapor escape.
This document summarizes a study on using crumb rubber from wasted tires to develop high-performance multi-layer bulletproof concrete panels. The proposed panel uses a double layer of rubberized concrete and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Testing showed that single layers of rubberized concrete or SFRC did not stop bullets, while the double layer configuration was able to stop bullets without penetration. Analysis of acceleration and displacement values indicated that the rubberized concrete layer absorbed impact energy and reduced stresses on the panel compared to SFRC alone. Therefore, partially replacing the front layer of bulletproof panels with rubberized concrete enhances performance while providing an application for recycled tire rubber.

Using tyres wastes as aggregates in concrete to form rubcrete – mix for engin...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper presents the results, obtained after replacement of fine and coarse aggregates, in concrete mix, with tyre rubber. The tyre rubber, which has been used in the present study, is obtained after the mechanical trituration process of post – consumed tyres from trucks. Researchers have investigated, over the years, the use of recycled tyre rubber waste as a replacement for aggregate in concrete and its effectiveness. “Rubcrete-Mix” which would result from such replacement is found to have many engineering applications and holds promise in future. Rubcrete also possesses good mechanical properties and is considered to be one of the best and economical ways of recycling the used tyres. The present experimental study has the aim of arriving at the optimum quantity of the replacement material for the aggregates in concrete mixtures, for various engineering applications. For achieving a proper bond with the surrounding concrete paste, the recycled aggregates have been designed with respect to their size, shape and gradation. With the water – cement ratio being kept constant fine and coarse aggregate has been replaced with tyre rubber powder and chipped rubber and also cement has been replaced with silica fume. In preparing the concrete, Portland slag cement has been used along with super plasticizer less than 1% by weight of cement to achieve required workability of the resulting concrete. Furthermore, durability studies have been conducted and mixes have been designed for M30 grade concrete. Keywords: Concrete Mix, Mechanical Properties, Rubber Powder, Chipped Rubber, Silica fume.

Advantages of Concrete Mixing with Tyre RubberIJERA Editor
This document summarizes research on using shredded rubber tires as a partial replacement for aggregates in concrete. Several studies found that replacing up to 20-25% of aggregates with rubber chips can increase the concrete's elasticity and resistance to cracking while experiencing a 10-30% reduction in compressive strength. Rubber concrete is not suitable for load-bearing structures but can be used in non-structural applications like roads, floors, and parking areas. Using rubber aggregates provides environmental benefits by reusing waste tires and reduces costs by partially replacing traditional aggregates.
AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PARTIAL ADDITION OF RECYCLED RUBBER TYRES AS REPLACE...IAEME Publication
Concrete, being one of the widely used construction materials in the world in
which cement and aggregate are termed to be inevitable components that are used to
manufacture it. The increase in consumption of natural resources led to demand in
higher rate where parallel to the utilization of the natural resources emerged out as a
destructive concern inthe environment. In order to protect it the only way defined to
preserve natural resources (say aggregate) is by incorporating alternative materials
say recycled or waste elements in rubber form. In this study, we have carried out an
experimental procedure adopting recycled rubber tyres as a partial replacement for
coarse aggregate to manufacture concrete tyres. Pretreating has of one with sodium
hydroxide solution to modify its surface and interfacial transition zone allowing the
rubber to adhere with cement paste. The cycle tyres were taken and its surface were
treated with a saturated aqueous solution for 20 minutes, washed in running water
and left air dry. Then the coarse aggregates were partially replaced with rubber tyres
in different percentage’s say 5%, 10%, 20% and 30% of its total volume. Prior to that
we have prepared a control mix without any replacement of coarse aggregate to draw
a comparative study. For each and every proportion of tyre mix-concrete cubes,
cylinders were prepared and cast and properties such as slump value, compressive
strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength are determined and a comparison
has been made

It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.
This document provides a review of mobility management techniques in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). It discusses three modes of communication in VANETs: vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), and hybrid vehicle (HV) communication. For each communication mode, different mobility management schemes are required due to their unique characteristics. The document also discusses mobility management challenges in VANETs and outlines some open research issues in improving mobility management for seamless communication in these dynamic networks.
This document provides a review of different techniques for segmenting brain MRI images to detect tumors. It compares the K-means and Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms. K-means is an exclusive clustering algorithm that groups data points into distinct clusters, while Fuzzy C-means is an overlapping clustering algorithm that allows data points to belong to multiple clusters. The document finds that Fuzzy C-means requires more time for brain tumor detection compared to other methods like hierarchical clustering or K-means. It also reviews related work applying these clustering algorithms to segment brain MRI images.
1) The document simulates and compares the performance of AODV and DSDV routing protocols in a mobile ad hoc network under three conditions: when users are fixed, when users move towards the base station, and when users move away from the base station.
2) The results show that both protocols have higher packet delivery and lower packet loss when users are either fixed or moving towards the base station, since signal strength is better in those scenarios. Performance degrades when users move away from the base station due to weaker signals.
3) AODV generally has better performance than DSDV, with higher throughput and packet delivery rates observed across the different user mobility conditions.
This document describes the design and implementation of 4-bit QPSK and 256-bit QAM modulation techniques using MATLAB. It compares the two techniques based on SNR, BER, and efficiency. The key steps of implementing each technique in MATLAB are outlined, including generating random bits, modulation, adding noise, and measuring BER. Simulation results show scatter plots and eye diagrams of the modulated signals. A table compares the results, showing that 256-bit QAM provides better performance than 4-bit QPSK. The document concludes that QAM modulation is more effective for digital transmission systems.
The document proposes a hybrid technique using Anisotropic Scale Invariant Feature Transform (A-SIFT) and Robust Ensemble Support Vector Machine (RESVM) to accurately identify faces in images. A-SIFT improves upon traditional SIFT by applying anisotropic scaling to extract richer directional keypoints. Keypoints are processed with RESVM and hypothesis testing to increase accuracy above 95% by repeatedly reprocessing images until the threshold is met. The technique was tested on similar and different facial images and achieved better results than SIFT in retrieval time and reduced keypoints.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.
This document describes a wireless environment monitoring system that utilizes soil energy as a sustainable power source for wireless sensors. The system uses a microbial fuel cell to generate electricity from the microbial activity in soil. Two microbial fuel cells were created using different soil types and various additives to produce different current and voltage outputs. An electronic circuit was designed on a printed circuit board with components like a microcontroller and ZigBee transceiver. Sensors for temperature and humidity were connected to the circuit to monitor the environment wirelessly. The system provides a low-cost way to power remote sensors without needing battery replacement and avoids the high costs of wiring a power source.
1) The document proposes a model for a frequency tunable inverted-F antenna that uses ferrite material.
2) The resonant frequency of the antenna can be significantly shifted from 2.41GHz to 3.15GHz, a 31% shift, by increasing the static magnetic field placed on the ferrite material.
3) Altering the permeability of the ferrite allows tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency without changing the physical dimensions, providing flexibility to operate over a wide frequency range.
This document summarizes a research paper that presents a speech enhancement method using stationary wavelet transform. The method first classifies speech into voiced, unvoiced, and silence regions based on short-time energy. It then applies different thresholding techniques to the wavelet coefficients of each region - modified hard thresholding for voiced speech, semi-soft thresholding for unvoiced speech, and setting coefficients to zero for silence. Experimental results using speech from the TIMIT database corrupted with white Gaussian noise at various SNR levels show improved performance over other popular denoising methods.
This document reviews the design of an energy-optimized wireless sensor node that encrypts data for transmission. It discusses how sensing schemes that group nodes into clusters and transmit aggregated data can reduce energy consumption compared to individual node transmissions. The proposed node design calculates the minimum transmission power needed based on received signal strength and uses a periodic sleep/wake cycle to optimize energy when not sensing or transmitting. It aims to encrypt data at both the node and network level to further optimize energy usage for wireless communication.
This document discusses group consumption modes. It analyzes factors that impact group consumption, including external environmental factors like technological developments enabling new forms of online and offline interactions, as well as internal motivational factors at both the group and individual level. The document then proposes that group consumption modes can be divided into four types based on two dimensions: vertical (group relationship intensity) and horizontal (consumption action period). These four types are instrument-oriented, information-oriented, enjoyment-oriented, and relationship-oriented consumption modes. Finally, the document notes that consumption modes are dynamic and can evolve over time.
The document summarizes a study of different microstrip patch antenna configurations with slotted ground planes. Three antenna designs were proposed and their performance evaluated through simulation: a conventional square patch, an elliptical patch, and a star-shaped patch. All antennas were mounted on an FR4 substrate. The effects of adding different slot patterns to the ground plane on resonance frequency, bandwidth, gain and efficiency were analyzed parametrically. Key findings were that reshaping the patch and adding slots increased bandwidth and shifted resonance frequency. The elliptical and star patches in particular performed better than the conventional design. Three antenna configurations were selected for fabrication and measurement based on the simulations: a conventional patch with a slot under the patch, an elliptical patch with slots
1) The document describes a study conducted to improve call drop rates in a GSM network through RF optimization.
2) Drive testing was performed before and after optimization using TEMS software to record network parameters like RxLevel, RxQuality, and events.
3) Analysis found call drops were occurring due to issues like handover failures between sectors, interference from adjacent channels, and overshooting due to antenna tilt.
4) Corrective actions taken included defining neighbors between sectors, adjusting frequencies to reduce interference, and lowering the mechanical tilt of an antenna.
5) Post-optimization drive testing showed improvements in RxLevel, RxQuality, and a reduction in dropped calls.

This document reviews cryptography techniques to secure the Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol in mobile ad-hoc networks. It discusses various types of attacks on AODV like impersonation, denial of service, eavesdropping, black hole attacks, wormhole attacks, and Sybil attacks. It then proposes using the RC6 cryptography algorithm to secure AODV by encrypting data packets and detecting and removing malicious nodes launching black hole attacks. Simulation results show that after applying RC6, the packet delivery ratio and throughput of AODV increase while delay decreases, improving the security and performance of the network under attack.
The document describes a proposed modification to the conventional Booth multiplier that aims to increase its speed by applying concepts from Vedic mathematics. Specifically, it utilizes the Urdhva Tiryakbhyam formula to generate all partial products concurrently rather than sequentially. The proposed 8x8 bit multiplier was coded in VHDL, simulated, and found to have a path delay 44.35% lower than a conventional Booth multiplier, demonstrating its potential for higher speed.

It then discusses challenges with image deblurring being an ill-posed problem. It reviews existing approaches to screen image deconvolution including estimating point spread functions and iteratively estimating blur kernels and sharp images. The document also discusses handling spatially variant blur and summarizes the relationship between the proposed method and previous work for different blur types. It proposes using color filters in the aperture to exploit parallax cues for segmentation and blur estimation. Finally, it proposes moving the image sensor circularly during exposure to prevent high frequency attenuation from motion blur.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Used Of Recycled Tyre/Rubber as Course Aggregate and Stone
Dust As Fine Aggregate in Cement Concrete Works
Mohd Kashif Khan1
, Bhanu Pratap Singh2
(Integral University, Department of Civil Engineering, Lucknow, India)1,2
Abstract: The present investigation aims at the study of properties of concrete in which stone dust is used as a
partial replacement for coarse sand and tyre-chips of size 4.7 to 10 mm as partial replacement of coarse
aggregate by weight.
Keywords: Cement, Coarse sand, Coarse Aggregate, Stone Dust, Tyre Chips size 4.75 to10mm
I. Introduction
1.1 General- Sand collected from Aeolian deposit is expensive due to unwanted cost of transportation
from natural sources. Large scale exploitation of natural sand creates environmental impact on society.
Grit collected from mountains is also expansive due to unwanted cost of transportation from natural sources.
1.2 Methodology- The present investigation aims in the study of properties of concrete in which stone dust
is used as a partial replacement for coarse sand and tyre is used as partial replacement of coarse aggregate. Stone
dust is replaced at replacement levels of 20percentage, 25percentage, 30percentage, 35percentage and
40percentage.
After obtaining maximum strength by sand replacement with stone dust , coarse aggregate is partially replaced
by tyre at replacement levels of 2 percentage, 5percentage, and 10percentage
II. Literature Review
2.1. Introduction Almost every repair to historic concrete requires the use of concrete. The
significance of selecting a suitable concrete, weather for repainting or rebuilding, cannot be
underestimated due to the structural and aesthetic roles that concrete plays in concrete construction.
Physically inappropriate concrete can cause a repair to fail and can damage the original concrete. Visually
inappropriate concrete alters the original intent of the building's designer by changing our perception of
the design. For these reasons analysis of historic concrete is a topic of abiding interest to most
preservation professionals.
In order to fulfill the requirement of fine aggregates and coarse aggregate, some alternative material must be
found.
1) Nagraj T.S et.al (1996).[8]
, reported that rock dust which have higher surface area consumes more
cement in with respect to sand which increases workability. He studied to effect of rock dust and pebble as
aggregate in cement and concrete and found that crushed stone dust could be used to replace the natural sand in
concrete.
2) Shukla et al. (1998) [9]
, investigated the behavior of concrete made by partial or full replacement of
sand by crushed stone dust as fine aggregate and reported that 40 percent sand can be replaced by crushed stone
dust without effecting the strength of concrete.
3) Venugopal (1999) et al.[11]
, examined the effect of rock dust as fine aggregate in cement and concrete
mixes. They have suggested a method to proportion the concrete using rock dust as fine aggregate.
4) A.K Sahu et al. (2003)[1]
investigated the basic properties of conventional concrete and concrete
made using quarry dust have compared. They have studied M20 and M30 concretes. Equivalent mixes are
obtained by replacing stone dust partially/fully. Test results shows the effective usage of stone dust with same
compressive strength, comparable tensile strength and modulus of rupture. Workability of 40percentage
replacement of stone dust with 2percentage Superplasticizer is equal to the workability of conventional concrete.
Workability is increased by the addition of perplasticizer.as replaced materials to natural sand has become
beneficial and is common in the world. Stone dust is manufactured by crushing larger stones of quarry to
particular size of sand. Its chemical & physical properties such as color, size & shape, surface texture up
particles depend upon types of stone & its source .Use of crushed sand has become a good substitute for natural
sand and it has become essential keeping in view of technical, commercial & environmental requirements.
Proper quality control while using crushed sand/ manufactured sand can result in better results. Different
researchers have carried out research to study the effect of use of crushed sand on properties of mortar.

5) Hadassa Baum and Amnon Katzl.[4]
, studied the percentage of fines in crushed sand and its effects on
the concrete mixes. They pointed out that the addition of fine filler (mesh 0.075mm) has a positive potential on
the properties of the mortar. But, at the same time, the fraction of less than 5 microns of the fine filler used for
plastering may have a bad effect on the concrete. They also studied the effect of the composition of water
reducing agent on mixes containing crushed sand that exhibited the lowest properties. They noted that
Compressive strength improved, chlorides permeability and the shrinkage reduced.
6) Divakar et al. (2012).[12]
, have experimented on the behavior of M20 grade concrete with the use of
granite fines as a partial replacement for sand in 5percentage, 15percentage, 25percentage, 35percentage and
50percentage; and based on the results obtained for compressive, split-tensile and flexural tests, it was
recommended that 35percentage of sand can be replaced by granite fines.
7) Toutanji,H.A (1996).[10]
, "The use of rubber tyre particles in concrete to replace mineral aggregates"
Cement concrete investigated the effect of replacement of mineral coarse aggregate by rubber tyre aggregate.
Shredded rubber tyres used had a maximum size of 12.7mm and a specific gravity of about 0.61. The
incorporation of these rubber tyre chips in concrete exhibited a reduction in compressive and flexural strength.
The specimens which contained rubber tyre aggregate exhibited ductile failure and underwent significant
displacement before fracture. The toughness of flexural specimens was evaluated for plain and rubber tyre
concrete specimens. The test revealed that high toughness was displayed by specimens containing rubber tyre
chips as compared to control specimens.
8) Khatib Z.K and Bayon F.M (1999).[13]
, has developed "Rubberized Portland cement concrete" to
conduct experimental program in which two types of rubber fine Crumb Rubber and coarse tyre chips were used
in Portland cement concrete (PCC) mixtures. Rubberized PCC mixes were developed by partially replacing the
aggregate with rubber and tested for compressive and flexural strength in accordance to ASTM standards. Tyre
chips were elongated particles that ranged in size from about 10 to 50mm. Results show that rubberized PCC
mixes can be made and are workable to a certain degree with the tyre rubber content being as much as
57percentage of the total aggregate volume. However, strength results show that large reductions in strength
would prohibit the use of such high rubber constant. It is suggested that rubber contents should not exceed
20percentage of the total aggregate volume.
9) Mohammed Mustafa Al Bakari. A. Syed Nuzul Fazl S.A, Abu Bakar M. [2]
"Comparison of rubber
as aggregate and rubber as filler in concrete" this research will attempt to use rubber waste replacement of
coarse aggregates to produce early age concrete. It carry out two different type of concrete which are rubberized
concrete and rubber filler in concrete. In rubberized concrete, rubbers were used to replace coarse aggregates
and sand as fine aggregate. Coarse aggregate usually gravel or crushed stone and shredded rubber as filler in
concrete. The compressive strength was reduced in rubberized concrete for several reasons including the
inclusion of the waste tyres rubber aggregate acted like voids in the matrix. This is because of the weak bond
between the waste tyres rubber aggregate and concrete matrix. With the increase in void content of the concrete,
there will be a corresponding decrease in strength. Portland cement concrete strength is dependent greatly on the
coarse aggregate, density, size and hardness. Since the aggregates are partially replaced by the rubber, the
reduction in strength is only natural.
10) Mavroulido.M and Figueiredo.J (2010).[7]
, "Discarded tyre rubber as concrete aggregate: a possible
outlet for used tyres" it can be concluded that despite the observed lower values of the mechanical properties of
concrete there is a potential large market for concrete products in which inclusion of rubber aggregate would be
feasible. These can also include nonprime structural applications of the medium to low strength requirements,
benefiting from other features of this type of concrete. Even if the rubber tyre aggregate was used at relatively
low percentages in concrete, the amount of waste tyre rubber could be greatly reduced due to the very large
market for concrete products worldwide. Therefore the use of discarded tyre rubber aggregates in concrete
shows promise for developing an additional route for used
11) Humphrey (1999),[5]
, some of the advantageous properties of tyre chips include low material density,
high bulk permeability, high thermal insulation, high durability, and high bulk compressibility. In many cases,
scrap tyre chips may also represent the least expensive alternative to other fill materials. Crumb rubber has been
successfully used as an alternative aggregate source in both asphalt concrete and PCC. This waste material has
been used in several engineering structures like highway base courses, embankments, etc.
12) Zheng et al. 2008.[14]
, worked on rubberized concrete and replaced the coarse aggregate in normal
concrete with ground and crushed scrap tyre in various volume ratios. Ground rubber powder and the crushed
tyre chips particles range in size from about 15 to 4 mm were used. The effect of rubber type and rubber
contention strength, modulus of elasticity were tested and studied. The stress – strain hysteresis loops were
obtained by loading, unloading and reloading of specimens. Brittleness index values were calculated by
hysteresis loops. Studies showed that compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of crushed rubberized
concrete were lower than the ground rubberized concrete

13) Khallo et al. 2008.[6]
, determined the hardened properties of concrete using different types of tyre
rubber particle as a replacement of aggregate in concrete. The different types of rubber particles used were tyre
chips, crumb rubber and combination of tyre chips and crumb rubber. These particles were used to replace
12.5percentage, 25percentage, 37.5percentage, and 50percentage of the total mineral aggregate by volume not
by weight. The results showed that the fresh rubberized concrete had lower unit weight and workability
compared to plain concrete. Result showed large reduction in strength and modulus of elasticity in concrete
when both tyre rubber chips and crumb rubber were used together as compared to that when these were used
individually. It was found that the brittle behavior of concrete was decreased with increased rubber content. The
maximum toughness index indicated the post failure strength of concrete with 25percentagerubber content.
14) Ganjian et al. 2008.[3]
, investigated the performance of concrete mixture incorporating 5percentage,
7.5percentage and 10percentage tyre rubber by weight as a replacement of aggregate and cement. Two set of
concrete mix were made. In the first set chipped rubber replaced the coarse aggregate and in the second set scrap
tyre powder replaced cement. The durability and mechanical test were performed. The result showed that up to
5percentage replacement in both sets no major changes occurred in concrete characteristic.

Graph for Compressive Strength of concrete for different percentage of stone dust and Tyre-Chips
III. Conclusion
Based on the results obtained in this investigation the following conclusions are drawn regarding
the effect of Stone dust as a substitute to natural sand and tyre as a substitute to coarse aggregate
compressive strength of concrete.
A) The substitution of natural sand to stone dust is taken to 30percentage replacement
of weight of sand in ratio 1:1.5:3 of concrete the ultimate strength more somewhat same to the
ultimate strength of concrete without substitution. The substitution of natural sand to stone dust up
to 40percentage replacement of weight of sand in ratio 1:1.5:3 of concrete led to a
corresponding drop in the strength. This is due to the fact that above the 3 0percentage weight the presence
of stone dust tends to reduce the bonding between cement and aggregate Lending to a consequent decrease in
strength
B) From the present experimental study and literature review it can be concluded that despite the observed
lower values of the mechanical properties of concrete there is a potential large market for concrete products in
which inclusion of rubber aggregate would be feasible. These can also include non-primary structural
applications of medium to low strength requirements, benefiting from other features of this type of concrete.
Even if rubber tyre aggregate was used at relatively low percentages in concrete, the amount of waste tyre
rubber could be greatly reduced due to the very large market for concrete products worldwide. Therefore the use
of discarded tyre rubber aggregates in concrete shows promise for developing an additional route for used tyres.
Finally conclusion is that the use of stone dust and tyre used for concrete is reduce the pollution and perform as
low weight concrete and used in road base etc.
Future Scope: In future research following points can be taken-
a) Tyre Powder can be used as fine aggregate.
b) Tyre chips can be replaced by same size of coarse aggregate.
