Cement concrete is the most widely used construction material in many infrastructure projects. The development and use of mineral admixture for cement replacement is growing in construction industry mainly due to the consideration of cost saving, energy saving, environmental production and conservation of resources. Present study is aimed at replacing cement in concrete with activated fly ash. The paper highlights the chemical activation of low calcium fly ash. Today activation of fly ash is playing an important role for enhancing the effectiveness of fly ash and accelerating the pozzolanic properties of fly ash. Activated fly ash certainly improves the early age strength and durability of concrete and corrosion tolerance. Many methods such as mechanical (physical), thermal and chemical activation are in use to activate the fly ash. The chemical activation is one of the easiest methods where fly ash can be activated by alkaline activators (i.e. alkaline solutions of high alkaline concentration chemicals like gypsum, sodium silicate and calcium oxide, KOH, etc.), which enhances the effectiveness of fly ash by disintegrating the glassy layer of fly ash molecules in cement concrete, thereby increasing its corrosion resistance. In the present dissertation, quality of fly ash is improved by chemical treatment by using chemical activators. The mechanical properties like compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength of activated fly ash concrete and flexural strength of activated fly ash reinforced concrete beams are studied. For this project work, the chemicals like sodium silicate, calcium oxide are used to activate the fly ash in the ratio 1:8.
DURABILITY STUDIES OF GGBS AND METAKAOLIN BASED GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE Ijciet 08...IAEME Publication
The objective of this research work was to produce a carbon dioxide emission free cementious
material. The geopolymer concrete is such a vital and promising one. In this study, geopolymer is
prepared from ‘Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag’ (GGBS) a powder from grinding the byproduct
of slag waste from blast furnace of steel plants and metakaolin from industry. The Alkaline
liquids used in this study for the polymerization process are the solutions of sodium hydroxide
(NaoH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3).A 8 Molarity and 10 Molarity solutions was taken to prepare
the mix. The cube compressive strength was calculated for different mixes. The cube specimens are
taken of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. Ambient curing of concrete at room temperature was
adopted. In total 180 cubes were casted for their compressive strength at age of 28 days
respectively. The test data indicate that on exposure to 5% Sodium Sulphate, Sulphuric Acid and
Sodium Chloride, the losses in weight, and strength of geopolymer concrete (GPC) are
significantly much less than those for cement concrete. Thus the geopolymer concrete is considered
to be an environmentally pollution free construction material.

“Experimental studies on the characteristics properties of concrete produced ...AjeetPanedakatti
Concrete is the most widely used man-made construction material in the world and is consumed second only to water on this planet. It is obtained by mixing the cementitious materials, water and aggregates in the required proportions. However, the various required performance attributes of concrete including strength, workability, dimensional stability and durability, often impose contradictory requirements on the mix parameters to be adopted, there by rendering the concrete mix design a very difficult task.
The increase in global warming has resulted a wide range of change in earth’s temperature, the source being emission of carbon dioxide gas from the production process of cement. Use of naturally available pozzolanic waste materials (fly ash & granite powder) as a partial substitute of OPC cement in mortar mix has seen a wide potential in the utilization of these waste material and also enhancing the properties of mortar mix and thus reducing the environment impact caused by manufacturing of cement. In this study the effect of using fly ash & granite powder is used as a partial substitute of ordinary port-land cement and to reduce the cost of the cement.
An investigation was conducted to determine the suitability of using fly ash (bi-product from thermal power plant) and waste granite powder as partial replacement for cement for concrete production. Apart from the control concrete sample which had 100% cement all the other samples were treated to 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% replacement of cement with flyash and granite powder. Concrete cubes of 150mmx150mmx150mm, cylinders of 150mm diameter and 300mm height, beams of 100mmx100mmx500mm were made with the various proportions of cement, sand and coarse aggregates in a mix ratio of 1:2.2:3, water -cement ratio of 0.50 and cured over 28 days. The results of compressive strength tests show that the strength of the concrete cubes with varying amounts of cement and fly ash and granite powder changed marginally. This was interpreted to mean that the partial replacement of cement with fly ash and granite powder up to 20% in concrete results in about 1.4% increase in the strength of the concrete. The compressive strength of concrete cubes is 33N/mm2, flexural strength of concrete beams is 5.10 N/mm2 and split tensile strength of concrete cylinder is 2.34 N/mm2 for 20% replacement.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out for M-70 Grad Concrete and to evaluate the compressive strength and Flexural Strength of Concrete. High Performance Concrete is made by partial replacement of cement by alccofine, fly ash, silica fume. In this study the Class F fly ash used in various proportions 20 to 35%, alccofine 4 to 14% and silica fume 4% to 14% by weight of cement. The mix proportions of concrete had a water binder ratio for Alccofine mix concrete 0.30 and Silica-fume mix concrete 0.32.super plasticizer was added based on the required degree of workability. The total binder content was 600 kg/m3. The concrete specimens were cured on normal moist curing under normal atmospheric temperature. The compressive strength was determined at 7 , 28 , 56 days and flexural strength was determined at 28 and 56 days The results indicate the concrete made with these proportions generally show excellent fresh and hardened properties. The addition of Alccofine, silica fume shows early strength gaining property and that of fly ash shows a long term strength. The ternary system that is Portland cement-fly ash-Alccofine concrete was found to increase the compressive strength of concrete on all age when compared to concrete made with Portland cement-fly ash-silica fume.

Improving the Properties of Self-compacted Concrete with Using Combined Silic...Pouyan Fakharian
The viscosity is the main property of self- compacted concrete (SCC) and using of pozzolan material such as metakaolin (MK) and Silica fume (SF) can help to achieve that goal. The effect of simultaneous substitution of MK and SF instead of cement on the rheological and mechanical properties of self-compacted concrete was experimentally investigated in this paper. Seventeen mix designs were cast with a substitution weight percentage (5, 10, 15, 20 %) in water to adhesive material ratio equal 0.32. All mixes were examined by compressive, tensile strengths and water absorption tests with an appropriate fluidity, without having signs of segregation or instability. The test results were indicated that the SCC mixes containing MK and SF had higher compressive and tensile strengths in comparison with no-pozzolan concrete. The comparison of linear multiple regression techniques (LMRT) and nonlinear multiple regression technique outputs with experimental results showed an appropriate similarity.

Effect of Steel Fiber on Alkali activated Fly Ash ConcreteIJERA Editor
Concrete is the world’s most important Construction material so the demand of cement is increases. The
production of cement is highly energy intensive & the production on one ton of cement liberates about one ton

Study on Strength Properties of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Fine Agg...IJERDJOURNAL
Abstract: One of the major challenges in our present society is the protection of environment. Some of the important elements in this respect are the reduction in the consumption of energy and natural raw materials and consumption of waste materials must be increased. This experimental study is to investigate the effect of using copper slag as a replacement of fine aggregate on the strength properties. The common management options for copper slag are recycling, recovering of metal, production of value added products such as abrasive tools, roofing granules, cutting tools, abrasive tiles, glass, rail road ballast, asphalt pavements. Despite increasing reusing of copper slag, the huge amounts of its annual production is disposed in dumps or stockpiles. In the present study experimental investigation has been carried out on M25 grade concrete is used and tests were conducted for various percentage replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag in concrete. The obtained results were compared with those of control concrete made with ordinary portland cement and sand. The use of copper slag in concrete provides potential environment as well as economic benefits for all related industries, particularly in areas where a considerable amount of copper slag is produced. This study reviews the characteristics of copper slag and its effect on the engineering properties of M25 grade concrete.
Experimental Study on Partial Replacement of Cement by Flyash and GGBSijsrd.com
This paper presents a laboratory investigation on optimum level of Fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a partial replacement of cement to study the strength characteristics of concrete. Portland cement was partially replaced by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% of GGBS and Fly ash by 20%, 40%, 60% respectively. The water to cementations materials ratio was maintained at 0.45 for all mixes. The strength characteristics of the concrete were evaluated by conducting Compressive strength test, Splitting Tensile strength test and Flexural strength test. The compression strength test were conducted for 7days and 28days of curing and split tensile strength test and flexural strength test were conducted for 28days of curing on a M25 grade concrete. The mix proportion M25 was found to be 1:1.36:2.71.The test results proved that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete mixtures containing GGBS and Fly ash increases as the amount of GGBS and Fly ash increase. After an optimum point, at around 9% of GGBS and 40% of Fly ash of the total binder content, the further addition of GGBS and fly ash does not improve the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.

Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

Reducing Silicon Real Estate and Switching Activity Using Low Power Test Patt...ijsrd.com
Power dissipation is a challenging problem for today's system-on-chip design and test. This paper presents a novel architecture which generates the test patterns with reduced switching activities; it has the advantage of low test power and low hardware overhead. The proposed LP-TPG (test pattern generator) structure consists of modified low power linear feedback shift register (LP-LFSR), m-bit counter, gray counter, NOR-gate structure and XOR-array. The seed generated from LP-LFSR is EXCLUSIVE-OR ed with the data generated from gray code generator. The XOR result of the sequence is single input changing (SIC) sequence, in turn reduces the switching activity and so power dissipation will be very less. The proposed architecture is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE9.2.The Xilinx chip scope tool will be used to test the logic running on FPGA.
Defending Reactive Jammers in WSN using a Trigger Identification Service.ijsrd.com

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Abstract— Cement concrete is the most widely used
construction material in many infrastructure projects. The
development and use of mineral admixture for cement
replacement is growing in construction industry mainly due
to the consideration of cost saving, energy saving,
environmental production and conservation of resources.
Present study is aimed at replacing cement in concrete with
activated fly ash. The paper highlights the chemical
activation of low calcium fly ash. Today activation of fly
ash is playing an important role for enhancing the
effectiveness of fly ash and accelerating the pozzolanic
properties of fly ash. Activated fly ash certainly improves
the early age strength and durability of concrete and
corrosion tolerance. Many methods such as mechanical
(physical), thermal and chemical activation are in use to
activate the fly ash. The chemical activation is one of the
easiest methods where fly ash can be activated by alkaline
activators (i.e. alkaline solutions of high alkaline
concentration chemicals like gypsum, sodium silicate and
calcium oxide, KOH, etc.), which enhances the effectiveness
of fly ash by disintegrating the glassy layer of fly ash
molecules in cement concrete, thereby increasing its
corrosion resistance. In the present dissertation, quality of
fly ash is improved by chemical treatment by using chemical
activators. The mechanical properties like compressive
strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength of activated
fly ash concrete and flexural strength of activated fly ash
reinforced concrete beams are studied. For this project work,
the chemicals like sodium silicate, calcium oxide are used to
activate the fly ash in the ratio 1:8.
Key words: Cement concrete, activated fly ash, calcium fly
ash.
I. INTRODUCTION
Concrete is most widely used construction material in many
infrastructure projects. Concrete has attained the status of a
major building material in all the branches of modern
construction. Concrete is the best material of choice where
strength, durability, impermeability, fire resistance and
absorption resistance are required.
Compressive strength is considered as an index to
assess the overall quality of concrete and it is generally
assumed that an improvement in the compressive strength
results in improvement of all other properties. Hence
strength investigations are generally centered on
compressive strengths. Even though concrete mixes are
proportioned on the basis of achieving the desired
compressive strength at the specified age, flexural strengths
often play a vital role in concrete making.
The use of supplementary cementitious materials
(SCM) for cement replacement has dramatically increased
along with the development of concrete industry, due to the
consideration of cost saving, energy saving, environmental
protection & conservation of resources. The large scale
production of cement is adding environmental problems in
one hand & depleting the natural resources on the other.
Fly ash is among the commonly used mineral
admixture as it is available in large quantities in many
developing countries. As per the estimation of Government
of India, power plants are going to use 1800 million tons of
coal that may result in 600 million tons of fly ash by 2031-
2032.
The use of fly ash as concrete admixture not only
extends technical advantages to the properties of concrete
but also contributes to the environmental pollution control.
There are two ways that the fly ash can be used;
one way is to intergrind certain percentage of fly ash with
cement clinker at the factory to produce Portland pozzolana
cement (PPC) & the second way is to use the fly ash as an
admixture at the time of making concrete at the site of work.
The latter method gives freedom & flexibility to the user
regarding concrete percentage addition of fly ash.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Shi anti others (1994):
Studied the effect of some sodium based activators (Na2SO4,
NaOH, Na: COI and Na2SiO3, . 5F120 - all chemical reagent
grade) on the strength development of two types of blended
cements made with a natural pozzolan.
B. Fan and others (1999):
Proposed a method of Fly ash activation with addition of Ca
(OH)2 and Na2SiO3. In their studies, a low-calcium fly ash
was obtained from a power plant in China, was mixed with
Ca(OH)2( in certain proportion by weight), Na2SiO3 and WIS
= 3:l and the mixture held at Constant temperature of 55 "
C, until Ca(OH)2 disappeared. The above sample was wet
ground for 40 min. and dried at a temperature of 120" C, to
yield the activated fly ash (AFA). They have concluded that
the activity of the activated fly ash by the above method has
increased which can accelerate cement early hydration and
promote setting and hardening. They have recommended a
composite utilization of AFA and FA as cement admixtures,
based on comparable mortar strength (i.e. with that of
reference mortar) obtained with 5- 10% AFA addition. With
a small addition of Na2Si03 to the mixture of FA and
Ca(OH)2, the reaction between the above mixture has been
accelerated, due to the higher pH value (13.1) realized (by
the formation of NaOH), thus, greatly facilitating silica -
alumina glassy chain corrosion. Therefore, Na2SiO3 has
played the role of a 'stimulant' in the above activation of
(low-calcium) fly ash with Ca(OH)2
III. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
A. Chemical Activation:
Fly ash in dry powder form obtained from Raichur Thermal
power plant in India was used for the entire study.
Activation of fly ash was carried out using Calcium Oxide

and Sodium Silicate in the ratio 1:8(this was arrived by trial
study using various ratios of chemicals i.e. 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8,
1:10). The required quantity of sodium silicate in gel form
and calcium oxide in paste form are mixed in a vessel and
heated at a temperature of 103°C to ensure proper mixing.
The mixed chemicals then added to fly ash (5% by weight of
fly ash) and used for the studies. The reason for lower
activity of FA arises mainly due to the dense glass layer
which makes fly ash chemically stable.
IV. EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMME
Aim: The aim of this experiment investigation is to study
the flexural behavior of Activated fly ash concrete.

V. CASTING AND CURING OF CONTROL SPECIMEN
The moulds of size 150mmx150mmx150mm,
100mmx100mmx500mm, 100mmdia x 200mm height are
used for casting of cubes, prism, and cylinders respectively.
The moulds are cleaned and the corners are pasted with oil.
One coat of cutting oil is applied on all internal surfaces.
The moulds are filled in three layers and the height of each
layer is about 1/ 3rd
height of mould, each layer is
compacted by giving blows with a tamping rod over the
entire cross section uniformly for CVC member and less
compaction is done for Fly ash members. After filling and
compacting the moulds, the top surface are made smooth
and kept for a period for 24 hours. Then the mould is
removed and the cubes, prism, and cylinder are kept under
water for desired period of curing. The water should be
clean and free from impurities. The water should be changed
for every three days to obtained good results. Then after
completing the curing period all the specimen should be
removed and kept for drying for one day, because it should
be completely dried to obtained good results. The surface of
the specimens should be cleaned and the test is carried out
under compressive testing machine and universal testing
machine
A. Tests for Compressive Strength:
The compressive strength of concrete is one of the most
important properties of concrete in most structural
application concrete is implied primarily to resist
compressive stress.
In this investigation, conventional concrete and fly
ash concrete cube were used for testing the compressive
strength. The cubes are tested in a compressive testing
machine of capacity 200KN. The load has been applied at
the rate of 315KN/min. The load applied in such a way that
the two opposite sides of the cube are compressed. The load
at which the control specimens ultimately fail is noted. The
average of 3 cubes is taken as compressive strength.
Compressive strength is calculated by dividing load by area
of specimen.
fc = P/A
Where fc = cube compressive strength in N/mm2
P = cube compressive causing failure in N
A = cross section area of cube.

VI. DETAILS OF TEST SPECIMEN
Test specimens are as follows:
Two Beams of grade M20, of span 2300mm width
150mm, and depth 230mm are tested for
conventional beams.
Two Beams of Fly ash of grade M20 of span
2300mm width 150mm and depth 230mm is tested
it act as test specimen.
Two Beams of Activated fly ash of grade M20 of
span 2300mm width 150mm and depth 230mm is
tested it act as test specimen.
4. For all the beams the reinforcement used is
12mmΦ bars and 10mmΦ bars are used as the
longitudinal bars and 6mmΦ bars is used as the
lateral ties.
A. Casting and Curing of Test Specimen:
Wooden mould of internal dimensions 2300mm x 150mm x
230mm are used for casting the beams. The internal surface
is cleaned and mould oil paste is applied at all corners, then
a coat of cutting oil is applied on all internal surfaces. Steel
reinforcement cage prepared earlier is kept in the mould. To
obtain the required effective depth mortar blocks of 25mm
thickness are kept one at each end as covering. The mould is
filled with the concrete in three layers, height of each layer
being 1/3rd
height of mould and compacted uniformly over
the entire cross section area with tamping rod for
conventional concrete member and also for RS member.
After compacting the CVC beams and FA & AFA beams
the top surface is smoothened and the mould is kept for
drying about 24 hours.
After drying, the mould is removed and the surface
of beams is cleaned and hand curing method is adopted in
this investigation. All the specimens were fully wrapped
with gunny bags and cured daily for three times. All the
beams were treated in this manner. It should be noted that
the water which is used for curing should be pure and should
be free from impurities.
B. Testing And Result Of CVC Beams, FA Beams And AFA
Beams
1) Testing Procedure:
After the curing 28 days the beams are kept for 24
hours in a dry state. After drying they are cleaned to remove
all grit and dirt with sand paper and white washing was done
on all side of beams. White washing was done to facilitate
easy detection of crack propagation. Mid span as marked to
measure the surface strain in concrete.
The loading reaction frame of 500kN capacity
consisted of two movable steel I-sections. These I – sections
were adjusted to have on effective span of 2150mm. the
beam to be tested is placed over these two supported. The
simply supported condition at each end of the beam was
achieved. By using a plumbob the center lines of the beam
and the hydraulic jack were made to coincide with each in
order to prevent eccentric loading on beam.
The load was applied through steel I – section,
supported on two steel rollers covering the entire beam
width of the beam and placed symmetrically with respect to
mid span section as shown in figure. Dial gauge was placed
exactly beneath the mid-span of the beam to record the
deflections. First a small increment of load was applied to
bring the surface of the beam in contact with all the
attachment. Then the proving ring and the dial gauge are set
to zero, and the initial gauge readings were recorded. Then
load was applied at an increment of 5kN and the beam
surface was observed carefully for the occurrence of initial
crack by using magnifying glass. Once the initial crack
appeared it was cracked with a permanent pencil marked on
the beam and the corresponding deflection was recorded.
After initial crack appeared the load was increased in
successive increment. Deflections were taken at intermittent
loads. For each increment of load corresponding crack
propagation is marked until collapse load. At collapse, dial
gauge of proving ring was unable to show further increase
of load, thus indicating the ultimate failure stage of the
beam has reached. The maximum crack width at
ultimate load was measured.

VII. OBSERVATION:
During the experimental work, close observations have been
done to study the following.
It is noted that the slump value decreases as the
percentage of replacement of Fly ash increases
When the activated fly ash is added the workability
increases.
It is noted that the load carrying capacity of AFA
members is more compared to FA and CVC
member.
6. Study on Flexural Behavior of Activated Fly Ash Concrete

The compressive strength of AFA is more
compared to that of CVC and FA.s
The split tensile strength of AFA is more compared
to that of CVC and FA.
The crack width have also decreased for AFA
members compared to FA and CVC members
The first crack appeared for FA and CVC members
at early stage, whereas for AFA members the
first crack has appeared lately.
There is a slight increase in flexural strength of
AFA members compared to that FA and CVC
member.
The ductility ratio is less for AFA compare to FA
and CVC members.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Activation of fly ash employed in this study is
simple.
The activated fly ash can be made available in dry
form which is beneficial for transportation and
storage.
The crack width under service load was within the
permissible limit as per IS 456:2000
Load deflection study gave similar post crack
behaviour in comparison to Control beams.
The 30 % replacement of cement by AFA increases
compressive strength by 6.7% when compared with
the control specimens.
AFA at 30 % replacement RC beam specimens
showed a better resistance against flexure than
other 30% FA beams and % replacements.
The 30 % replacement of cement by activated fly
ash shows increase in split tensile strength when
compared with FA and control specimens.
Effect of curing time can be further studied by
curing for 56 days and 90 days.
Present study shows that an optimum replacement
of 30% can be used in structures.
IX. SCOPE FOR FUTURE STUDY
Some of the works which can still be worked out for future
investigations are listed below.
Effect of super plasticizer on Compressive strength
can be studied by keeping other test parameters
such as mix composition, curing period etc
constant.
Admixture could be used to give better workability,
higher strength and provide ease while lying
concrete.
Effect of curing time can be further studied by
curing for 56 days and 90 days.
The study should include also on the various other
strength like modulus of elasticity, various acid
attacks, durability etc.
