Joints are an important part of all concrete floors and their design and construction require careful attention. The improper use of a right joint will lead to floor failure with continual deterioration. Joints can be a potential source of problems because the edges of slab panels are vulnerable to damage.

PRONIL water stopper and waterproofing joint sealing tapes.pptxConstrofacilitator
PRONIL specializes in manufacturing high-performance Hydrophilic water stoppers and flexible waterproofing joint sealing tape for two decades. The company’s products are used to seal concrete joints to prevent water from leaking from concrete structures by creating an impenetrable barrier. The products protects buildings from the constant flow of water and maintains the desired structural integrity.
The alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) occurs when alkalis, typically sodium and potassium ions from cement, reacts with minerals present in aggregates within concrete.This reaction can lead to the formation of a gel, which can induce swelling and exert pressure on the concrete, ultimately resulting in the expansion and, in severe cases, the cracking of the structure. The detrimental consequences of this reaction become more pronounced over time, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the concrete.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

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.

2. Floor Joints
• Joints are an important part of all concrete floors and
their design and construction require careful attention.
Joint selection will be based on the following
characteristics:
• Resistance: Tied or reinforced, dowelled, non
dowelled, plain
• Configuration: Butt, lap, tongue, and groove.
• Formation: Sawed, hand-formed, tooled, grooved,
insert form.
• Location: Transverse, longitudinal, vertical, horizontal.
4. FREE-MOVEMENT JOINTS
• There is no reinforcement across the joint.
• Free movement and load transfer are both achieved
by the installation of dowels.
• Free-movement joints which are going to be heavily
trafficked should be of an armoured type to minimise
damage to the joint.
• These joints are usually provided between pours.
5. Sawn free-movement joints
• Debonded dowels set in position in dowel
cages before the concrete is placed provide
load transfer.
• The dowels must be horizontal and
perpendicular to the line of the joint and that
their positions are not disturbed during the
placing of the concrete.
6. Formed free-movement joints
• Dowels can be round, square or plate types.
• Round bars allow longitudinal movement only.
• The sleeves of square dowels have compressible side
inserts to allow lateral as well as longitudinal movement.
• Sleeves should be of a shape compatible with the dowel
and with a good fit and sufficient stiffness to prevent
vertical movement.
7. Sawn restrained-movement joints
• They are made by cutting the slab at predetermined
points to induce cracks which divide the slab into
panels relieving the shrinkage stresses in the slab.
• These cuts should be made within 24 hours of
casting to ensure that the shrinkage stresses have
not already exceeded the tensile capacity of the
concrete.
• Load transfer is provided by the doweling action of
the reinforcement and aggregate interlock.
8. Formed restrained-movement joints
• The joint is designed for some limited horizontal
movement
• The bar dimensions and spacing give
approximately equivalent cross-section per metre
length of joint to that of the fabric in the slab.
• Deformed bars are set in the concrete across the
joint to provide load transfer between the two
slab sections, as the fabric reinforcement does
not continue through the joint.
9. ISOLATION JOINTS
• Isolation joints are created by placing the preformed
joint material in the desired location before the
concrete slab is poured.
• The slab is then cast with the isolation joint material
acting as formwork between the slabs, though unlike
formwork, the joint material remains permanently
within the slab.
• When the concrete has cured enough so that it will
retain its shape, the top cap of the preformed joint
material can be removed and the gap filled with
sealant.
