The document discusses various cement replacement materials like fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and silica fume. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion that can replace up to 30% of cement. GGBS is a byproduct of steel production that can replace up to 70% of cement. Silica fume improves strength but requires higher replacement levels. These materials provide benefits like reduced water demand, permeability, heat of hydration, and increased strength. The document also discusses admixtures that can improve workability, setting time, and other concrete properties.

Concrete
The word concrete comes from the Latin word "concretus". Which means compact.Now a days concrete is most common and necessary things in our life.
The history of cementing materials together goes back to the time when prehistoric man prepare his cave to build shelter.
He used mud and clay to fill the gap between stone. To keep out the wind and cold.
Later the Assyrians and Babylonians used clay as their bonding substance and straw to make a shape.
The Egyptians used lime and gypsum and crushed stone to create a material that would harden even better.

Cold joints —Delays in concreting can result in cold joints. To avoid cold joints, placing should be resumedsubstantially before the time of initial set. For unusually long delays during concreting, the concrete should be kept live by periodically revibrating it. Concrete should be vibrated at approximately 15 minute intervals or less, depending upon job conditions. Concrete should not be over vibrated to the point of causing segregation. Furthermore, should the concrete approach time of initial setting, vibration should be discontinued and the concrete should be allowed to harden.

Development of mix design for high strength Concrete with AdmixturesIOSR Journals
This paper presents the result of mix design developed for high strength concrete with silica fume
and High range water reducing admixture (HRWR). It involves the process of determining experimentally the
most suitable concrete mixes in order to achieve the targeted mean strength. In this research work 53 grade
ordinary Portland cement, the locally available river sand, 10 mm graded coarse aggregate were selected based
on ASTM C 127 standard for determining the relative quantities and proportions for the grade of concrete M60.
For this design ACI 211.4R-93 guidelines were followed. Totally Five mixes were designed one mix was treated
as basic mix with HRWR - 0.5% without silica fume, Four mixes were designed with Micro silica quantities
varied from 5 to 9 percent weight of cementitious materials and HRWR varies between 0.6% to 0.9% with
increment of 0.1% . Each mix 2 numbers of 150mm x 300 mm cylinders were cast then kept in curing tank after
24 hours of time period. After 28 days of curing the specimens were tested and the appropriate mix proportions
were obtained.
Application of Design of Experiments (DOE) using Dr.Taguchi -Orthogonal Array...Karthikeyan Kannappan
The Taguchi method involves reducing the variation in a process through robust design of experiments. The experimental design proposed by Taguchi involves using orthogonal arrays to organize the parameters affecting the process and the levels at which they should be varies. Instead of having to test all possible combinations like the factorial design, the Taguchi method tests pairs of combinations. The Taguchi arrays can be derived or looked up. Small arrays can be drawn out manually; large arrays can be derived from deterministic algorithms. Generally, arrays can be found online. The arrays are selected by the number of parameters (variables) and the number of levels (states).
In this paper, the specific steps involved in the application of the Taguchi method will be described with example.

Analysis the Effect of Steel Fibre and Marble Dust with Strength of Pavement ...ijtsrd
The thrust nowadays is to produce thinner and green pavement sections of better quality, which can carry the heavy loads. The high strength steel fibre reinforced concrete is a concrete having compressive strength greater than 40MPa, made of hydraulic cements and containing fine and coarse aggregates; and discontinuous, unconnected, randomly distributed steel fibres. The present study aims at, developing pavement quality concrete mixtures incorporating marble dust as partial replacement of cement as well as steel fibres. The aim is to the design of slab thickness of PQC pavement using the achieved flexural strength of the concrete mixtures. In this study, the flexural, compressive and split tensile strength for pavement quality concrete mixtures for different percentage of steel fibres and replacement of cement with marble dust are reported. It is found out the maximum increase in flexure strength, compressive strength and split tensile strength is for 0% Marble Dust and 1% Steel fibre. Also it has been possible to achieve savings in cement by replacing it with marble dust and adding fibres. This study also shows that in view of the high flexural strength, high values of compressive strength and high values of split tensile strength, higher load carrying capacity and higher life expectancy, the combination of 10 to 20% marble dust replacement along with addition of 0.5 to 1% steel fibres is ideal for design of Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC).

Effect of Quartz sand Grains Diameter on the Mechanical Properties of Mortarsijtsrd
The aim of this study is to evaluate experimentally the influence of quartz dune sand incorporation in the cement matrix by mass substitution at different percentages and diameters, on the mechanical properties of the mortars. Properties of the mortars were determined by flexural traction and compressive strength the results obtained highlight the effect of the sand dune grain diameter on the mechanical properties of the mortars tested. The use of quartz dune sand with a diameter of less than 0.16mm improved the mechanical strength of mortars.

The present investigations are proposed to study the acid resistance behavior of M40 grade SCC with partial replacement
of cement with mineral admixture Fly Ash at 10, 20, and 30%. Rational method of mix design was adopted for mix
design of M40 grade SCC for the trial mixes in the absence of BIS code for SCC mix design. Experimental investigations
were carried out to study the acid resistance of SCC from hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulphuric acid (H2So4) which are
effective acids expected to cause damage for strength and durability of structures, by observing the effect for 14, 28 and
60days strengths and performance at different percentages of mix with flyash. Based on these studies, inference was
drawn for durability of structures exposed to such aggressive environment.

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.

A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Admixtures are materials mostly chemicals that are added in small
quantities during the preparation of concrete to impart certain specific
properties to it.
The requirements may be
Improving the workability of concrete during placing
Retarding or accelerating setting
Improving the impermeability and water tightness of the cast
concrete.
Imparting corrosion inhibition etc
Entraining air in concrete
Chemical Admixtures
24. 1. Air entrainers :
TYPES OF ADMIXTURES
They entrain air in the form of micro air bubbles which
helps in improving the durability of concrete in freezing
environment, sulphate and alkali attack.
2. Water reducers
To reduce the water-cement ratio and yet retain
workability. It is possible to reduce water upto 12%.
The only precaution is that it should be mixed thoroughly
25. 3. Accelerating admixtures :
To accelerate setting of cement in
cold environment or where early setting is desired.
It assists in early removal of form work
4. Retarding admixtures :
To delay the setting time of concrete, for RMC supplied
to far off sites.
Prolongs setting time, giving higher strength at later
stages, also results in reduction in micro cracks.
26. 5. Super plasticisers :
To make flowing concrete for concreting in
heavily reinforced sections, tremie concrete, for
pumping concrete.
(when added to normal concrete with 75mm slump
upto 250mm can be achieved)
6. High range water reducers :
PC based admixtures
Water reduction capacity of about 25-40%
High performance
Early strength and early setting
27. 7. Bonding agents :
To increase bond strength,
old and new concrete(in repair and rehabilitation works),
they are usually modified latex or polymer compounds
8. Corrosion inhibitors :
To inhibit corrosion
28. Aggregate is the word used to describe any inert material .
Usually rock derivative generally between 50mm down to 75 micron
used to produce concrete .
It is divided into coarse aggregate and fine aggregate
Those which are 4.75mm to 50mm are classified as coarse aggregates
Those below 4.75mm to 75 micron as fine aggregates
Except for mass concrete in dams etc. which may contain upto 150mm
size aggregate, the maximum size of aggregate is normally 20mm in
most cases
But it may be 40mm for plain concrete or massive works.

Specific gravity: it should have good crushing strength
and density
Surface texture: it should be smooth,slightly rough but
not honeycombed

PROPERTIES OF AGGREGATE
EFFECT
31. Specific gravity implies the absolute weight per unit volume
of aggregates
A low specific gravity may indicate
high porosity
poor durability
low strength.
Specific gravity of aggregates is used in arriving at mix
design
Generally the specific gravity of good aggregates is greater
than 2.5 g/cm3
31
SPECIFIC GRAVITY
32. Surface texture reveals how grainy or smooth the surface
of the aggregate is.
It indicates bonding strength and porosity.
Higher the smoothness of the particle, lesser is the
bonding between aggregate and cement matrix.
rough textured aggregates develop higher bond strength
than smooth textured aggregates,
This property is especially considered while producing
high strength concretes.
32
SURFACE TEXTURE
33. Particle shapes are classified as
Irregular
Rounded
Flaky
Angular
Aggregates should be as much cubical as possible in
shape

PARTICLE SHAPE
34. Grading of aggregates means particle size
distribution of the aggregates.
Principle of grading is that smaller size particles
fill up the voids left in larger size particles.

Fresh concrete is a freshly mixed material which can
be moulded into any shape.
Workability: is the ease with which fresh concrete
can be mixed, transported, placed and compacted
in the moulds or forms
Apart from water-cement ratio the concrete has to
be compacted well to get the required strength

42. 42
It is the science of the deformation and flow of
materials and is concerned with relationships
between stress, strain, rate of strain and time.
The term Rheology deals with the materials
whose flow properties are more complicated
than those of fluids (liquids or gases)
RHEOLOGY OF CONCRETE
43. Factors affecting workability:
Water content
Mix proportions
Size of aggregates
Shape of aggregates
Surface texture of aggregate
Grading of aggregate
Use of admixture
43
44. Segregation:
Segregation can be defined as the separation of the
constituent materials of concrete.
Bleeding:
Sometimes referred as water gain
It’s a particular form of segregation due to
highly wet mix
If water cement ratio is more than 0.7
Badly proportioned and insufficiently mixed
concrete

While traversing from bottom to top
Bleeding channels responsible for permeability
It may be interrupted by aggregates (flaky)
It may be interrupted by reinforcement
Reduces bond between reinforcement,
aggregate and paste
Remedy— re-vibration, delayed finishing
47. Compaction of concrete is the process
adopted for expelling the entrapped air from
the concrete.
The entrapped air in the form of voids reduces
the strength of concrete.
For every 1% of entrapped air, the strength of
concrete falls about 5% to 6%.
47
COMPACTION
48. Hand compaction
Tamping
Ramming : generally permitted for
unreinforced foundation concrete
RCC should never be rammed
Compaction by vibration: common needle
vibrator dia is 25mm to 40mm
External vibrators
Surface vibrators

METHODS OF COMPACTION
Contd…
49. When inserting a needle vibrator, allow it to
penetrate the bottom of the layer as quickly as
possible.
If it is done slowly, the upper part of the
concrete will get compacted and prevent the
air in the bottom layer from escaping.
The vibrator should be left in the concrete for
about 10 sec. and then withdrawn slowly. If it is
withdrawn fast, a hole will be left in the
concrete.
49
PRECAUTIONS
Contd…
50. The vibrator should be inserted again at a
distance of not more than 50 cm from its last
position.
The vibrator should not be allowed to touch
the face of the form work or the reinforcement
to prevent the reinforcement from losing bond
with concrete
Do not stop the vibrator when the needle is in
the concrete.
Do not over vibrate or under vibrate

The rate of levelling should not be less than
the rate placing of concrete
FINISHING OF CONCRETE
52. 52
Effect ofWater-Cement ratio
Effect of maximum size of aggregate on
strength
Grades of concrete:
Concrete in construction is specified by grade
like M20,M25 etc. Usually increments of five.
M20 means the specified crushing strength is
20 N/mm2
STRENGTH OF CONCRETE
53. 53
CURING
Why Curing ?
To prevent loss of moisture from the Concrete due
to combined effect of hot sun and drying wind
Creation of conditions for promotion of
uninterrupted and progressive hydration of
cement during the period immediately after
placing
Curing does not mean only application of water

HIGH DENSITY CONCRETE
61. 61
It is made by introducing air or gas into the
slurry composed of cement and finely
crushed sand by alluminium powder.
Uniformly cellular structure is formed.
Also called as gas concrete, foam concrete,
cellular concrete
AERATED CONCRETE
62. 62
By Omitting fine aggregate fraction
Made by cement, water and single sized coarse
aggregates
Having large voids and hence light in weight
Applications
Temporary structures
In external walls forThermal insulation
Rough texture gives good base for plastering
Free from dampness because of low capillary action
on account of large voids

68. It is a latest development in the construction
industry
Concrete is batched and mixed in a centralised
Plant and transported to the sites far-away
from the plant through Transit-Mixers and
placed through pumps to the required height
and distances.
