Use of Fiber is one of the vital and emerging trends in Construction Technology. Fiber can be considered as an alternative in the use of an air entraining agent providing sufficient freeze thaw protection and moreover as a reinforcing material. Fiber reinforced materials are composite materials that typically consist of strong fibers embedded in resin matrix. It is a composite obtained by adding a single type or a blend of fibers to the conventional concrete mix. The fibers provide strength and stiffness to the composite and generally carry most of the applied loads. The matrix acts to bond and protect the fibers and to provide for transfer of stress from fiber to fiber through shear stresses. Fibers can be in form of steel fibers, glass fibers, natural fibers, synthetic fibers, etc. The mechanism by which fibres produce resistance to freezing and thawing is that fibres introduction reduces water absorption of the concrete increasing penetration resistance to de-icing salts. Reduced water absorption is a function of the fibres to reduce plastic shrinkage cracking, reducing the ability of water to permeate into the bleed in a concrete. So this research paper describes experimental studies on the use of coconut fibre as enhancement of concrete.

Analysis of Upgradation of a Convectional Building into Green BuildingIJSRD
The phenomenon of global warming or climate change has led to many environmental issues including higher atmospheric temperatures, intensive precipitation, and increased Greenhouse gaseous emission and of course increased indoor discomfort condition. Researchers worldwide collectively agreed that one way of reducing the impact of global warming is by implementing Green Roof Technology which integrates vegetation, growing medium and water proofing membrane on top of the roof surface. This study emphasized to first analysis a convectional Building than upgrade it to a Green Building by the use of some Eco- Friendly materials. In addition to this by the use of some smart electrification work we can also conserve an ample amount of energy in a Convectional Building. Than by the use of different agencies which would provide checklist for Green Building we can rate a Convectional Building which is been upgraded into a Green Building..The objectives of this research were is Reduction in the indoor temperature of the room contributes reduction in energy consumption in the building. By the use of smart electrification an ample amount of energy can also be conserved. By the use of eco- friendly materials and waste products an ample amount of money can also be saved. Although by the up gradation of convectional building the initial cost will be high because of the use of some special material such as solar panel, rain water harvesting system but their application will return 10 times of what we invested
In recent years, a great deal of interest in concrete leads to the most frequently used sustainable construction material. Using of natural fiber as fiber reinforcement effectively improved strength, ductility and durability requirements of high performance cement composites. Regretly, natural fibers are dumped as agricultural waste (e.g. coconut, bamboo, wood or chips, bast fiber, leaf fiber, seed and fruit fibers, etc), so can be easily available low cost. The applications of natural fiber for sustainable construction material design can be done as filler or masonry composites, reinforcement, thermal conductivity, cementations/binder, etc. Previous and current researchers focusing the natural fiber to improve the properties of lightweight composites still required a lot of investigations to make it improved. However, the present work consists of the availability of natural fiber waste substance, sustainable construction materials are evaluated for their physico-mechanical properties of sustainable construction materials, method of production and environmental impact of several materials. No doubt, the application of natural fiber provides a solution to conservation of natural resource and energy.
Cellulose biocomposites are widely used in industry as a low-cost engineering
material with plant fiber reinforcement. However, chemical and microstructural
heterogeneity causes low strength, low strain-to-failure, high moisture sensitivity, and
odor and discoloration problems. Efforts toward improved performance through fiber
orientation control, increased fiber lengths, and biopolymer use are reviewed. Interfacial
strength control and moisture sensitivity are remaining challenges. As an attractive
alternative reinforcement, high-quality cellulose nanofibers obtained by wood pulp fiber
disintegration can be prepared at low cost. These nanofibers have high length/diameter
ratios, diameters in the 5–15 nm range, and intrinsically superior physical properties.
Wood cellulose nanofibers are interesting as an alternative reinforcement to more
expensive nanoparticles, such as carbon nanotubes. Nanopaper and polymer matrix
nanocomposites based on cellulose nanofiber networks show high strength, high workof-fracture, low moisture adsorption, low thermal expansion, high thermal stability, high
thermal conductivity, exceptional barrier properties, and high optical transparency. The
favorable mechanical performance of bioinspired foams and low-density aerogels is
reviewed. Future applications of cellulose biocomposites will be extended from the highvolume/low-cost end toward high-tech applications, where cellulose properties are fully
exploited in nanostructured materials.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

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.

A research about technical textiles that
used in civil engineering applications
2. Introduction
Tecnical textiles used in construction of buildings are called “buildtech”. Textile
materials used in buildings for so many years. Utilization of these materials is
increased with the development of synthetic fibers. Today, these materials are widely
used in airports, stadiums, sports halls, exhibition halls and shows centers, military
and industrial warehouses and also at a lot of different areas like these places.
Technical textiles are one of the faster-growing sectors of the global textile industry.
High-added-value textile structures are replaced with traditional technologies. The
efficient use of energy, materials and resources continues to be the driver for the
industrial, construction and building sectors. Civil engineering applications have a
huge effect on improving of people’s life such as planning, building and
infrastructure. Technical textiles and composites play a big role in the construction
sector, providing filters, reinforcement materials, webbings etc. These are the areas
with high growth potential particularly in where the construction industries are
carefree. So textiles, polymers and composite materials using in civil engineering
applications began to be common more and more. Because of the plenty of
advantages, textile materials are the one of the most important part at constructions.
Some of those advantages are lightweight, strength and resilience, and resistant to
chemicals, sunlight, pollutants. Technical textiles using as both permanent and
temporary applications. More visible area of tents, marquees and awnings which they
also can be built with aesthetic concerns. Lately those kind of textile applications
called “textile architecture”.
Using areas and advantages
Because of the so many good properties, technical textiles can be used at
these areas; concrete reinforcement, façade foundation systems, interior
constructions, insulations, proofing materials, visual protection, protection against the
sun, building safety, textile membranes for roof construction, hoardings and
signages, scaffolding nets, awnings and canopies, tarpaulins, architectural
membranes and roofing materials.
Buildtech products have to be durable and especially resilient. Important
quality criteria are high UV resistance, sturdiness, resistance to wind and weather
3. and to be light-weight. In addition to these properties, textile materials also with fair
price. However, to meet the achievements, textiles used in civil engineering
applications also have to have the properties such as; air conditioning, noise
prevention, tear-resistant, water and vapor impermeable, anti-slip ensures safe
installation, non-allergenic, bacteria resistant and rot-proof.
The average weight of the textile material used in a standard building; is abut
1/30 of the weight of brick, steel or concrete. Thus, it needs less reinforcement so the
cost is reduced. Also, manufacturing of textile materials is more easy and taking less
time than traditional construction materials.
Fibers used in buildtech
Technical textiles generally made from synthetic fibres. 22% of the fibre
consumption in the world is for manufacturing of technical textiles[Table1]. The most
common ones are; high-tenacity polyester, glass fiber and nylon. Because of the
tensile properties, strength and cost polyester is used more than the others. Also
nylon fiber used for membranes sometimes but this fiber is more expensive than
polyester(more durable at the same time).
Glass is an incombustible textile fibre and has high tenacity too. It has been
used for fire-retardant applications and also is commonly used in insulation of
buildings. Because of its properties and low cost, glass fibre is widely used in the
manufacture of reinforcement for composites. Glass fibers fairly resistant for tensions
and they also and reflect the some of sun's rays and this provides to the keep
structures cold. Glass fibre applications can be between 2 layers of concrete(as an
insulation material)[Figure 2]. Also fabrics from glass fiber generally manufactured as
nonwovens. [Figure 3]
Polyethylene and polypropylene have a density less than that of water, which
allows them to float as ropes, nets and other similar applications. The availability, low
cost and good resistance to acid and alkaline environments of polypropylene has
greatly influenced its growth and substantial use in geotextile applications.
Hemp fibres with a higher durability than traditional cellulose fibres are more
suited for this kind of application, and therefore a lot of research was performed
4. about the use of hemp fibres as reinforcement for building materials based on
cement.
Some applications of other fibers are, HDPE(high density polyetylen) used for
when really high resistance wanted. To achieve heat and sound isolation, hollow
fibers are starting to be using.
“Composites generally have a bright future in building and construction.
Current applications of glass reinforced materials, include wall panels, septic tanks
and sanitary fittings. To prevent cracking of concrete, plaster and other building
materials glass, polypropylene and acrylic fibres and textiles are using. More
innovative use is now being made of glass in bridge construction. In Japan, carbon
fibre is attracting a lot of interest as a possible reinforcement for earthquake-prone
buildings although price is still an important constraint upon its more widespread
use.”(Handbook of Technical Textiles)
Technologies used in buildtech
Textiles in this field; they must be resistant to degradation.to deformation and
degradation under load, wind, water, sunlight or acid rain to in the case of a long time
exposure of these factors. Also they have to be reflect or pass the sunlight according
to using area. The vast majority of these properties are obtained by coating the base
fabric used with a variety of chemicals. Generally plain constructions are used at
woven fabrics because of their low hairiness, warp knit fabrics because they are
strong, nonwoven fabrics which are produced needling method preferred because
they are cheap and light-weight.
Coated fabrics for waterproofing (and also to protect base fabric against
sunlight and climate change), and coated fabrics for fire resistant which they are
mostly polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or silicone coated
fabrics.
Another technique for buildtechs is laminated fabrics. Laminated fabrics are
preferred formed by vinyl film coating on woven or knitted polyester and nylon fabrics.
They are cheaper than coated fabric, but the tensile strength, flexural and abrasion
resistance lower.
Unlike conventional construction methods, there are different innovative
requires in new buildings. To achieve these properties, both new fiber and fabric
5. types are discovering. Such as, fiberglass used 3 axial fabric or using friction hybrid
yarn knitted spacer fabrics.
Warp knitted fabrics are used as buildtech especially when strength is
important. Using of fibers such as glass fibers, Kevlar fibers, strength is further
increased. Also with using 3 axial knitting machines and with glass fiber, some fabrics
are produced and they provide heat insulation. [Figure 4]
Also in building sector, with aesthetic and strength concerns, there are starting
to produce spacer fabrics for heat and sound insulations. To reinforce to concrete,
also there are some sandwich structures which spacer fabrics and concrete are
combined together. [Figure 5]
Examples for buildtechs
Textile architecture
Most people have at one time or another spent the night in a tent and have
benefited from the protection provided by its fabric, while at the same time enjoying
the sensation of being separated from nature by nothing more than a thin shell.
Textile forms of habitation have a long history going back to palaeolithic times and
represent an archetypal form of building which has endured to the present day.
Textiles are light, easy to convert or dismantle, and they provide protection against
wind, ultra-violet rays and rain.
“More fabrics are being used in buildings to provide solar protection. By adding
textiles in architecture of a building not only can the UV rays be kept at bay but also a
shade can be provided. Energy efficiency has also increased the use of textiles.
From production and fabrication to the installation of membrane systems a lot of
energy can be saved than using conventional concrete structures. Textile also
provide a way of letting natural light being harnessed in a building by using
translucent materials, thereby saving electricity and being environment friendly.”
Today, the textiles used in stadiums, sport complexes and fairs etc. generally
are membranes they they are resistant to light and water and at the same time they
are breathable.
6. Modern architecture has rediscovered the principle of the tent as an
architectural form and taken its development further – not just for temporary
structures but also for permanent buildings. Advanced and durable fabrics enable
large areas to be spanned, which has turned their use into a highly specialised sector
within the construction industry.
When the textile elements are no longer required they can be folded up and
stored compactly in a cupboard. In addition the fabrics are machine washable.
In general, membranes used in building and construction field, are formed at
both sides of the composite coated textile surface.[Figure 6] Two basic units forming
the membrane; It is ground fabric and coatings. Ground fabric usually used in
synthetic fibers and ground fabric acts as a carrier layer which provides structure and
strength necessary to lift the entire load on the structure.
The firm of Planex calculated the dimensions of each sail by modelling based
on highly accurate measurements, and all the seams were welded using high-
frequency welding equipment.
The Soltis material is produced using precontraint technology. During manufacturing
both the warp and the weft yarn is pre-stressed and then coated. This guarantees a
high level of surface stability and is a precondition for ensuring adequate wind
resistance, which can only be guaranteed if the sails neither expand nor contract in
response to changes in temperature. Soltis is UV-resistant and is available not just
7. with perforations of varying sizes and the corresponding variable transmittance but
also in a range of different colours.
‘Tubaloon' is the name given by the architects Snohetta to the 20 m x 40 m
pneumatic membrane sculpture which was created for the Kongsberg jazz festival in
Norway.
Another membrance application in Hamburg in one tennis court stadium.
8. Membrane application in Veltins Arena.
Also, the buildings using for concerts, theaters or artistic activities, to
transferring acoustic to the audience as correct and desirable is really important to to
achieve the objective of such activities. That can been able to the catch optimum
volume for a concert or theater by using acoustic textiles in walls, scene and ceilings
at modern acoustic buildings. This make comfortable environment for audiences.
Nonwoven fabrics formed by needling technique is particularly preferred for the
purpose of acoustically. Biologically degradable fibers have been used especially as
fibers for this aim.
“Schoeller Textil from Switzerland has a new membrane technology called C-
change which adapts its moisture vapour permeability in response to different
weather conditions. The water and windproof Bionic Climate Membrane opens its
structure at high temperatures, or during periods of strenuous activity, so that excess
9. heat can escape. During cold weather or periods of inactivity, the structure of the
membrane closes, retaining body heat.”
Some special examples for membrane applications;
*Polyester base fabric is laminated with special film.
Most common materials for membranes are;
Vinyl laminated with PES
Vinyl coated with PES
10. Acrylic coated with PES
Solution- Dyed acrylic
Whether it's the innovative use of industrial netting as in the last example or
the use of special architectural membranes – the potential for the use of fabrics in
construction design is far from exhausted because many high-tech textiles used in
industry are not yet available for building applications.
At the same time building with textiles and above all the use of membranes are
becoming increasingly important in architecture and are being applied to an ever-
greater extent in major projects
11. Producing principle of coated/laminated fabrics.
Building Reinforcements
The aim of these textiles is developing sensor embedded textiles for
geotechnical and masonry applications in the field of civil engineering. In building
construction, textiles provide an efficient reinforcement strategy. This is especially
common in older masonry structures that are vulnerable to natural hazards.
18. The future development of the buildtech markets and products will largely be
centered upon new materials, new processes and new applications operating on a
global basis for the development of economies of scale in production and product
development.
Presently, Japan, Germany, the US, the UK, France, Turkey China and India
are the key producers of technical textiles. These countries except China and Turkey
have practically abandoned producing conventional textile products.
In machinery development, the trend will be towards automation in all stages
including computer colour match prediction and composition of designs in printing.
The evolution will be towards equipments using less and less of water like continuous
dyeing, HT steaming and thermosoling are expected to make rapid strides with
increasing use of infra-red in many applications.
Buildings and construction materials’ studies alternative to existing as an
conventional building technical textiles has gained importance in recent years. In fact,
in the future there are some opinions of the entire structure buildings will be entirely
the from textile materials. As an example of this, in the United States, a skyscraper
designed name of "Carbon Tower".
So, constuructions and civil engineering applications can not be without
technical textiles materials. In the future, using of textile materials in structures will be
more and more common.
