This document investigates the strength properties of concrete mixes that replace cement with red mud and add bamboo fibers. Red mud is a waste product from aluminum production that is difficult to dispose of due to its chemical properties. Bamboo fibers are added to increase the tensile strength of concrete. The study evaluates the slump, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of concrete cubes and cylinders with 0-20% cement replaced by red mud and 0-1% bamboo fibers added. The results show that replacing 15% cement with red mud and adding 0.75% bamboo fibers produces concrete with optimal strength properties and is an economical and sustainable mix design.
Variation of Compressive strength and water absorption of concrete made by Tw...ijsrd.com
Nowadays construction materials are increasingly evaluated by their ecological characteristics. Concrete recycling gains importance because it protects natural resources and eliminates the need for disposal by using the readily available concrete as an aggregate source for new concrete or other applications. The concrete in this paper is produced by utilizing alternative and recycled waste materials such as fly ash and recycled concrete aggregates to reduce energy consumption, environmental impact, and usage of natural resources. The inferior quality of recycled aggregate (RA) has restricted its use to low-grade applications such as roadwork sub-base and pavements, while its adoption for higher-grade concrete is rare because of the lower compressive strength and higher variability in mechanical performance of RA. A new concrete mixing method, two-stage mixing approach (TSMA), was advocated to improve the quality of RA concrete (RAC) by splitting the mixing process into two parts. In the current paper we will discuss two parameters on which the concrete made by TSMA has been tested for strength characteristics viz. compressive strength and flexural strength. These parametric properties are compared with the conventional concrete with the variation of percentage of recycled coarse aggregates(RCA) and fly ash.

Concrete and steel are the two main construction materials used in reinforced concrete structures around the world. The material that is utilised the most frequently is concrete, aside from this. These materials manufacturing procedures result in the production of greenhouse gas GHG emissions. GHG emissions can be decreased by lessening the environmental impact and improving the sustainability of cement replacement while maintaining the physical and mechanical characteristics of concrete. These materials disposal seriously pollutes the environment. Hypo Sludge HS , a waste product from the paper industry, is dumped in significant quantities as slurry. Therefore, using HS as a partial replacement for cement in the production of concrete can aid in reducing the problem of environmental pollution. With the aim of determining an acceptable optimum replacement of HS without noticeably reducing physical and mechanical properties compared to regular concrete of the same grade, the current study, which is based on prior research, uses HS as a partial replacement of cement varying up to 40 for concrete manufacturing in combination with the addition of Steel Fibre SF up to 4 with super plasticizer.

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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Terzaghi's soil bearing capacity theory, developed by Karl Terzaghi, is a fundamental principle in geotechnical engineering used to determine the bearing capacity of shallow foundations. This theory provides a method to calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of soil, which is the maximum load per unit area that the soil can support without undergoing shear failure. The Calculation HTML Code included.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
