The document discusses the Next Generation Concrete Surface (NGCS), which provides a smoother, quieter ride compared to traditional concrete surfaces. NGCS has a predominantly negative texture created through diamond grinding that reduces tire/pavement noise by up to 75%. It has been installed successfully in several locations internationally, including Minnesota, Australia, South Korea, and Houston, Texas, where it has significantly reduced road noise levels. NGCS can be used for both new construction and rehabilitation of existing surfaces.

The Next Generation Concrete Surface (NGCS) and its smooth, low noise, high friction surface is a perfect fit for the road building and maintenance challenges we see across the globe.
DOWEL BAR RETROFIT (DBR) is a Concrete Pavement Preservation (CPP) tool that restores load transfer across joints and cracks by installing dowel bars linking the adjoining slabs. By linking slabs, the traffic load is shared, preventing differential vertical movement of the slabs at the joints and cracks, thereby eliminating the formation of faults or stepoffs. It is these faults that cause the rough ride and wheel slap that is sensed when traveling on a concrete roadway that has lost its ability to transfer load from one panel to the next.

Maccaferri offers high-quality solutions which maximise the opportunity to reuse materials available on-site. This saves on the export and import of materials from the site, reducing polluting truck movements, quarrying and disposal of waste materials in landfills.
Uncontrolled water ingress, especially water from a pavement’s surface, contributes to multiple types of pavement distress. It can lead to spalling, base or subgrade softening, dowel bar corrosion, pavement joint blow-ups and/or materials-related distress.
There are two stitching methods used to repair and strengthen longitudinal cracks or joints in concrete pavement. The first, and most common, is cross-stitching. Cross-stitching uses deformed tie bars epoxied or grouted into holes drilled at an angle through a crack or joint. The second, slot-stitching, uses deformed tie bars grouted into slots cut across a joint or crack. Each technique is beneficial for certain circumstances. Recommendations on where to use these methods are outlined in this special report.

Diamond grinding and patching on U.S. 67 in Arkansas exemplifies how CPP can extend the life of a concrete pavement while improving its functionality. The restored pavement was smoother than it was on the day it was built—and this was all for a price less than that of a standard asphalt overlay.
It has consistently been found that slurry has no negative effect on roadside vegetation or soil; in fact, it has agricultural liming potential. If CGR slurry deposited along roadsides can be utilized as a liming agent, it can promote plant health while minimizing the costs associated with hauling slurry off-site for disposal—a win-win situation for all involved.
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) uses longitudinal diamond grooving for safety on asphalt as well as concrete pavements. Grooving costs less than overlays, is a long-term, low-maintenance solution, and has excellent skid test results. Work can be performed year-round, even in low temperatures. There is minimal traffic disruption during construction. ODOT installed grooving at three locations.
When Houston's Katy Freeway reopened after construction in 2009, increased vehicle speeds and transversely tined pavement surfaces created a noise level that was unacceptable to residents of surrounding villages. Funding was secured not only from TxDOT but also from the City of Houston and four villages. Transverse grooving was removed and NGCS was installed, improving noise significantly.
The Ohio DOT specifies longitudinal diamond grooving (which helps reduce hydroplaning, increases drainage at the tire/pavement interface and aids in vehicle control) on concrete bridge decks. The superior safety performance encouraged the department to use the technique on several sections of asphalt pavement.
For most concrete pavements, proactively sealing or filling transverse and longitudinal joints improves long-term pavement performance. These procedures reduce water penetration, which can lead to erosion and subsequent pavement damage, and also reduce entry into the joint of incompressibles that exert pressure on the pavement.
CPP has long been used on deteriorated highways, but it also offers an alternative to asphalt overlays when rehabilitating city streets constructed of concrete. Minneapolis’s renewed pavements are expected to last another 25 years, making the total lifespan of the concrete streets 65-70 years. With only one major preservation cycle during that timeframe, this translates into a very low annual cost for concrete city streets.

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!

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

2. Quieter Travel on the World’s Highways
In the past, concrete
pavements were
associated with increased
tire/pavement noise. In
recent years, however,
the Next Generation
Concrete Surface (NGCS)
has provided quieter
travel, increased friction
and improved ride.
3. Benefits of NGCS
Smoother Ride: The innovative texture provides for a
smoother, more uniform ride.
Increased Safety: Diamond grinding provides increased
macro-texture, creating a safer road in wet weather
conditions.
Decreased Noise: Tests have shown a decrease in
tire/pavement noise by 75%.
4. How Does NGCS Work?
NGCS is a diamond saw-cut surface that is absent of positive or upward
texture, resulting in a uniform land profile design with a predominantly
negative texture. This profile is responsible for the lower overall noise level.
5. How Does NGCS Work (continued)?
Despite the flatter, smoother riding
surface, the NGCS still possesses
and maintains reliable microtexture
(friction) when constructed with
quality aggregates.
The longitudinal grooves provide
substantial macrotexure and
increase the resistance to
hydroplaning by providing escape
channels allowing water to move
out of the tire contact patch area.
6. How is NGCS Installed?
The NGCS is installed using conventional
diamond grinding equipment:
Concrete is flush ground using 1/8
inch wide blades with 0.035 inch
spacers.
1/8 inch wide longitudinal grooves
are saw-cut to a depth of 1/8 - 3/16
at 1/2 - 5/8 inch centers.
The grinding process can be
accomplished in single lane
operations and short lane closures
when necessary.
7. Versatility of NGCS
NGCS can be used for
both new construction
and rehabilitation of
existing surfaces. It can be
quickly and efficiently
constructed without
impacting other roadway
features such as
guardrails, barriers or
curbs.
8. NGCS History
The NGCS surface was developed at Purdue University in 2007, with the
support of the International Grooving & Grinding Association, the American
Concrete Pavement Association and the Portland Cement Association.
Tire Pavement Test Apparatus,
Herrick Lab, Purdue University
9. Testing NGCS
Three years of field testing and
evaluation were conducted by
the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) at
their MnROAD pavement
research facility. NGCS was
tested in both low and high
volume traffic.
Tests showed NGCS sound
levels at the sub-100 decibel
level, the quietest non-porous
concrete surface ever
measured.
10. Testing NGCS
Two of the largest quiet pavement research programs in the country both
evaluated NGCS:
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute reported:
“...a measurable and noticeable decrease of more than 5 dB(A)
for the NGCS.“
"NGCS is reliable in terms of noise variability between
different locations.“
U.C. Davis reported NGCS was: quieter than conventional diamond
grinding (CDG) and also offered improved smoothness (as
measured by the International Roughness Index, or IRI).
11. NGCS Track Record: Duluth, Minn. (2010)
Minnesota constructed the first large NGCS project on I-35 in downtown
Duluth. According to press coverage:
Noise was reduced by 6 decibels on the northernmost section of the I-35
megaproject. (6 decibels translates to an 80% reduction in the overall
sound of vehicle tire noise. )
One resort owner reported:
“The sound of I-35 traffic had been the number one complaint of
hotel guests…[After NGCS was installed] we haven’t fielded one
complaint.”
-- Justin Steinbach, general manager of the Edgewater Resort and Waterpark
13. NGCS Track Record: NSW, Australia (2014-ongoing)
By 2014, New South Wales (NSW) was experiencing increasing urbanization
along road corridors resulting in environmental noise legislation. After
constructing several test sections, Australia's Roads and Maritime Services
(RMS) slightly modified the NGCS, calling the adaptation Low Noise Diamond
Grinding (LNDG), finding it suitable to meet their needs.
This surface now serves as a lower cost alternative to asphalt surfacing
for noise reduction on their Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement.
The RMS constructed test pavements in which the savings gained from
using NGCS on jointed plain concrete pavement in comparison to their
current overlay practices is estimated to be $720,000 per kilometer of
dual carriageway.
15. NGCS Track Record: South Korea (2014-ongoing)
Korea has a network of state-of-the-art roadways, many of which involve
miles of tunnels.
In 2014, a pilot NGCS project was completed by the Korea Expressway
Corporation's Research Institute.
Preliminary tests of the NGCS during the pilot project demonstrated noise
reduction of 1.5-7.5 dB(A).
Pavement smoothness measurements indicate an IRI of 0.65 m/km.
Improvement of frictional forces, tested according to the ASTM E 501 sliding
friction test, was an average of 52.7 on the sliding resistance index.
16. NGCS Track Record: South Korea (2014-ongoing)
Today, NGCS is used throughout South Korea on all new expressway
tunnels that are 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) or more in length.
Use of the surface is expanding beyond roads owned by the Korea
Expressway Corporation to national highways and local roads.
There are nearly 1.5 million square yards 200 lane miles of NGCS in
South Korea.
18. NGCS Track Record: Houston, Texas (2011-ongoing)
TxDOT - Houston District (the largest DOT district in the state) incorporated NGCS
into several major highways, including I-10, Harris County’s U.S. 290, and the 610
Loop.
Houston has constructed approximately 3 million square yards of NGCS as of
2018.
19. NGCS Track Record: Houston, Texas (2011-ongoing)
Watch the 2016 TxDOT Best Practices Video Summary Report discussing NGCS.
20. NGCS Track Record: Katy Freeway, Houston, TX (2017)
After reconstruction in 2009, the Katy Freeway became the widest freeway in the
world and suffered major noise issues that affected residential villages along a
4-5 mile section of the freeway.
Concerned residents worked with their local mayors and elected officials, who in
turn worked with TxDOT, to install NGCS.
TxDOT has received positive feedback from both the driving public and elected
officials since constructing the NGCS in these areas.
In the years since we undertook noise abatement on I-10, NGCS has
become much more common in Texas. The cost and ineffectiveness of
sound walls is likely driving the adoption of NGCS as a solution that
addresses noise at its source."
- David A. Wegner, five-time mayor of Hunters Creek Village
