INVESTIGATION ON FLY ASH AS A PARTIAL CEMENT REPLACEMENT IN CONCRETESk Md Nayar
The use of Portland cement in concrete construction is under critical review due to high
amount of carbon dioxide gas released to the atmosphere during the production of cement. In
recent years, attempts to increase the utilization of fly ash to partially replace the use of Portland
cement in concrete are gathering momentum. Most of this by-product material is currently
dumped in landfills, creating a threat to the environment.
Fly ash based concrete is a ‘new’ material that does not need the presence of Portland
cement as a binder. Instead, the source of materials such as fly ash, that are rich in Silicon (Si)
and Aluminium (Al), are activated by alkaline liquids to produce the binder.
This project reports the details of development of the process of making fly ash-based
concrete. Due to the lack of knowledge and know-how of making of fly ash based concrete in the
published literature, this study adopted a rigorous trial and error process to develop the
technology of making, and to identify the salient parameters affecting the properties of fresh and
hardened concrete. As far as possible, the technology that is currently in use to manufacture and
testing of ordinary Portland cement concrete were used.
Fly ash was chosen as the basic material to be activated by the geopolimerization process
to be the concrete binder, to totally replace the use of Portland cement. The binder is the only
difference to the ordinary Portland cement concrete. To activate the Silicon and Aluminium
content in fly ash, a combination of sodium hydroxide solution and sodium silicate solution was
used.
Manufacturing process comprising material preparation, mixing, placing, compaction and
curing is reported in the thesis. Napthalene-based superplasticiser was found to be useful to
improve the workability of fresh fly ash-based concrete, as well as the addition of extra water.
The main parameters affecting the compressive strength of hardened fly ash-based concrete are
the curing temperature and curing time, The molar H2O-to-Na2O ratio, and mixing time.
Fresh fly ash-based concrete has been able to remain workable up to at least 120 minutes
without any sign of setting and without any degradation in the compressive strength. Providing a
rest period for fresh concrete after casting before the start of curing up to five days increased the
compressive strength of hardened concrete.
The elastic properties of hardened fly ash-based concrete, i,e. the modulus of elasticity,
the Poisson’s ratio, and the indirect tensile strength, are similar to those of ordinary Portland
cement concrete. The stress-strain relations of fly ash-based concrete fit well with the expression
developed for ordinary Portland cement concrete.
This presentation gives a brief introduction on FRC's history, definition and why is it used. Types of FRC's and it's applications is explained in detail in later stages.Also, it covers various properties that affects FRC and a Case study in end.

Laboratory Analysis of Fly Ash Mix Cement Concrete for Rigid Pavement.IJERA Editor
This experiment was conducted to investigate the engineering properties of fly ash cement concrete for rigid pavement construction. Results have shown that 30% of fly ash and 70% of cement has a superior performance. In addition, the use of fly ash would result in reduction of the cost of cement which is usually expensive in all construction materials. High strength of concrete can be made by this and the further integration of admixture or alternate adds to improve the properties of concrete. Test result of specimens indicates that the workability and strength chacteristcs are changed due to incorporation with fly ash. Slump test having an appropriate workable mix of a concrete, gave sufficient compressive strength and flexural strength. Test results of 28 days specimens have graphically interpolated for the different results and so that to calculate the optimum content of fly ash.

Experimental Study of Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Waste Materi...IJRES Journal
The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial process has been the focus of waste reduction research for economical, environmental and technical reasons. This is because over 300 million tones of industrial waste are being produced per annual by agricultural and industrial process in India. The problem arising from continuous technological and industrial development is the disposal of waste material. If some of the waste materials are found suitable in concrete making not only cost of construction can be cut down, but also safe disposal of waste material can be achieved. The cement of high strength concrete is generally high which often leads to higher shrinkage and greater evaluation of neat of hydration besides increase in cost. A partial substitution of cement by an industrial waste is not only economical but also improves the properties of fresh and hardened concrete and enhance the durability characteristics besides the safe disposal of waste material thereby protecting the environment form pollution This paper deals with partial replacement of fine aggregate with the industrial waste from China Clay industries. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of conventional concrete and fine aggregate replaced concrete are compared and the results are tabulated.
Studies on quarry dust as partial replacement of fine aggregates in concreteIJLT EMAS
Natural sand is most commonly used fine aggregates
in the production of concrete possess the problem of acute
shortage in many areas. Quarry dust can be used as an economic
alternative to the natural sand. In this investigation an attempt is
made to utilize quarry dust as a partial substitute for natural
sand in producing concrete. Natural sand is replaced by Quarry
dust at an interval of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. Mix
proportions for M20 concrete is prepared with reference to IS:
10262-2009 and IS: 456-2000 for the study of workability.
Compressive strength and Flexural strength test results are
compared with the conventional concrete. The strengths were
obtained at the ages of 3, 7 and 28 days. Compressive and
Flexural strength increased marginally from 5% to 15%
replacement. There is a slight decrease in the corresponding
compressive and flexural strength at 20% replacement. Good
correlation was observed between compressive strength and
flexural strength. It was observed that the addition of quarry
dust that would replace the fine material at particular
proportion has displayed an enhancing effect on properties of
concrete. This investigation proves that quarry dust can be used
as a partial substitute for natural sand in preparing concrete.
Durability Studies on Concrete with Hypo Sludge as Partial Replacement of CementIJERA Editor
This paper summarizes the research work on the properties of hypo sludge when used as partial replacement for
Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete. OPC was replaced with hypo sludge by weight at 0%, 5%, 10%,
15%, 20% and 25%. 0% replacement served as the control. Compacting factor test was carried out on fresh
concrete while Compressive Strength test was carried out on hardened 150mm concrete cubes after 7, 14 and 28
days curing in water. The results revealed that the Compacting factor decreased as the percentage replacement
of OPC with hypo sludge increased. The compressive strength of the hardened concrete also decreased with
increasing OPC replacement with hypo sludge. It is recommended that further studies be carried out to gather
more facts about the suitability of partial replacement of OPC with hypo sludge in concrete.
Due to growing environmental awareness, as well as stricter regulations on managing industrial waste, the world is increasingly turning to researching properties of industrial waste and finding solutions on using its valuable component parts so that those might be used as secondary raw material in other industrial branches. Although iron and steel slag is still today considered waste and is categorized in industrial waste catalogues in most countries in the world, it is most definitely not waste, neither by its physical and chemical properties nor according to data on its use as valuable material for different purposes. Moreover, since the earliest times of the discovery and development of processes of iron and other metals production, slag as by-product is used for satisfying diverse human needs, from the production of medicines and agro-technical agents to production of cement and construction element. Considering the specificity of physical and chemical properties of metallurgical slags and a series of possibilities for their use in other industrial branches and in the field of civil constructions, this report demonstrates the possibilities of using iron slag as partial replacement of sand in concrete. Iron and steel making slag are by products of the iron making and steel making processes. To date, these types of slag have been widely used in cement and as aggregate for civil works. The report presents an investigation of mechanical and durability properties of concrete by adding iron slag as replacement of sand in various percentages. The results show that the strength properties of concrete increase significantly when sand is partially replaced by iron slag.
Since so many years a problem occurs in KSB Pump Va mbori for casting process i.e. cracks occurs in the castings & it is repeated one. Therefore the compan y has given opportunity to me to solve this problem . In case of steel casting there are mainly cracks & also blo w holes induced due to the casting procedure. There are many factors for the casting defects .The factor is unev en material feeding in casting & also due to the mo uld material & also the core material. These cracks finally brea k directly the component of the casting i.e. in cas e of pump the casting component is like Impeller,Volute casing & casing cover. At the time of feeding of steel material in to the casting the material is in liquid us form i.e. it i s hot material & this material is feeding into casting at the time o f feeding it develop different region of heat. At o ne side the temp is high &at other side the temp is low this also pr oduce cracks. To simulate that casting we use the M AGMA SOFTWARE for simulation & validate it using NDT.

The IC engine has seen numerous revolutionary and e volutionary modifications in technology and design over the past few decades. The sole motto behind the modifications wa s to increase the overall efficiency of the IC Engi ne including volumetric and thermal efficiency. Recently few benchmarking techn ologies like the CRDI,MPFI,HCCI,etc. in the Otto cycle and Diesel cycle engines have created an enormous revolution in the automobile industry. In spite of these technologica l and design advances,the efficiencies are not being more than a particular l imit. However,the concept of split cycle engines has dra stically increased the overall performance in all respect. The split cycle concept basically separates the fou r strokes of the conventional cycle.

STUDY OF SOLAR THERMAL CAVITY RECEIVER FOR PARABOLIC CONCENTRATING COLLECTOR ijiert bestjournal
Energy is one of the building blocks of the country . The growth of the country has been fueled by chea p,abundant energy resources. Solar energy is a form of renewable ener gy which is available abundantly and collected unre servedly. The parabolic concentrator reflects the direct incident solar rad iation onto a receiver mounted above the dish at it s focal point. The conversion of concentrated solar radiation to heat takes place in receiver. The heat transfer characteristics of the receiver changes during the rotation of the receiver which affects thermal performance. The working temperature may also influence the ther mal performance and overall efficiency of the system. Thermal as well as optica l losses affect the performance of a solar paraboli c dish-cavity receiver system. The thermal losses of a solar cavity receiver include c onvective and radiative losses to the air in the ca vity and conductive heat loss through the insulation used behind the helical tube surface. Convective and radiative heat losses form the major constituents of the thermal losses. The convection heat loss from cavit y receiver in parabolic dish solar thermal power sy stem can significantly reduce the efficiency and consequently the cost effectiveness of the system. It is important to assess this heat loss and subsequently improve the thermal performance of the receiver.

An experimental investigation was carried out for s tudying the heat transfer performance of the water-Al2O3 (28nm average particle size) nanofluid inside a liquid evacuated impinging jet system dest ined to the cooling of circular target surface. Results have shown that th e surface heat transfer coefficient increases consi derably when the mass flow rate is increased,but is relatively insensitive to the nozzle-to heated-surface distance. It was foun d that the use of a nanofluid can provide a heat transfer enhancement when compared t o water. Thus most practical applications of jet im pingement occur in industries where the heat transfer requirements hav e exceeded capacity of ordinary heating and cooling techniques. This work presents and discusses the results of an experiment al investigation of heat transfer between the horiz ontal smooth plate of impinged jets.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF COTTON SEED OIL FOR MULT...ijiert bestjournal
A lubricant is a substance that reduces friction an d wear by providing a protective film between two moving surfaces. Good lubricants possess the proper ties such as low toxicity,high viscosity index,hi gh load carrying capacity,excellent coefficient of fr iction,good anti-wear capability,low emission int o the environment,high ignition temperature. So tribolog y related problems can be minimized by proper selection of lubricant from wear consideration. Tod ay,the depletion of reserves of crude oil,the gro wing prices of crude oil and concern about protecting th e environment against pollution have developed the interest towards environment-friendly lubricants. B ecause of these the purpose of this work is to eval uate the anti-wear characteristics of cottonseed oil and to check the suitability of cottonseed oil as a lu bricant for multi-cylinder engine. Four ball testing machin e is used for anti-wear testing as per ASTM D 4172. The wear preventive characteristic of cottonseed oi l is obtained by measuring wear scar diameter. The present study shows the potential of cotton seed oi l as an alternating lubricant.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

ABSTRACT
Many countries are witnessing a rapid growth in the construction industry which involves the use
of natural resources for the development of the infrastructure. In order to reduce dependence on
natural aggregates as the main source of aggregate in concrete, artificially manufactured
aggregates and artificial aggregates generated from industrial wastes provide an alternative for
the construction industry. The present study encouraged the utilization of industrial waste copper
slag as replacement of natural aggregates in concrete. The results indicate that the use of copper
slag in concrete increases the flexural strength of about 17% with that of control mixture. It is
recommended that up to 40% of copper slag can be use as replacement of fine aggregates.

INTRODUCTION
Many countries are witnessing a rapid growth in the construction industry which involves the use
of natural resources for the development of the infrastructure. This growth is jeopardized by the
lack of natural resources that are available. The sustainable development for construction
involves the use of non-conventional and innovative materials, and recycling of waste materials
in order to compensate the lack of natural resources and to find alternative ways for conserving
the environment. Aggregates are considered one of the main constituents of concrete since they
occupy more than 70% of the concrete matrix. Therefore, utilization of aggregates from
industrial wastes can be alternative to the natural and artificial aggregates. In the last few decades
there has been rapid increase in the waste materials and by-products production due to the
exponential growth rate of population, development of industry and technology and the growth
of consumerism. The basic strategies to decrease solid waste disposal problems have been
focused at the reduction of waste production and recovery of usable materials from waste as raw
materials as well as utilization of waste as raw materials whenever possible. The beneficial use
of byproducts in concrete technology has been well known for many years and significant
research has been published with regard to the use of materials such as coal fly ash, pulverized
fuel ash, blast furnace slag and silica fume as partial replacements for Portland cement. Such
materials are widely used in the construction of industrial and chemical plants because of their

enhanced durability compared with Portland cement. The other main advantage of using such
materials is to reduce the cost of construction. (Al-Jabri et al 2009).Copper slag (CS) is one of
the materials that is considered as a waste material which could have a promising future in
construction industry as partial or full substitute of either cement or aggregates (Shi et al 2008).
It is a by-product obtained during the smelting and refining of copper. Therefore, numerous
contemporary researches have focused on the application of copper slag in cement and concrete
production as a suitable path towards sustainable development. Several researchers have
investigated the possible use of copper slag as cement, fine and coarse aggregates in concrete and
its effects on the different mechanical and long term properties of mortar and concrete.
(Khanzadi and Behnood 2009., Najimi and Pourkhorshidi 2011). The use of copper slag in
cement and concrete provides potential environmental as well as economic benefits for all
related industries, particularly in areas where a considerable amount of copper slag is produced.
The addition of copper slag as fine aggregate in various bituminous mixes improves interlocking
and eventually improves the volumetric properties as well as the mechanical properties of the
mixes ( Pundhir et al 2005).
MATERIAL AND METHODS USED
In the present study, ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) of 43 grade type cement and a copper slag
obtained from Synco Industries Limited located at Jodhpur (Rajasthan) was used in concrete
mixtures. Properties of the OPC cement were given in Table 1. The physical and chemical
properties of copper slag are given in Table 2 & 3 respectively. The sand was conforming to
grading zone II as per IS 383- 1970. The sieve analysis of fine aggregates and coarse aggregates
are given in Table 4 & 5respectively. Water used in the concrete mixture was drinkable water
confirming to IS 456-2000.

Concrete mixes and mix proportions
In this experimental program, to determine the values of compressive and flexural strength, a
control mix without copper slag was prepared. The 5 mixes were prepared other than control mix
at different replacement levels of CS (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% & 100%). Fine aggregate was
replaced with copper slag. The water/cement (w/c) ratio in all the mixes was kept 0.43. The
specimens were tested after 7, and 28 days of curing. The ratio of different materials used in each
mix and mix designation are shown in Table 6.

casting and were placed in the water tank. Specimen was taken out from the curing tank for
testing after 7 and 28 days of curing.
Flexural Strength of Concrete
Flexural strength of concrete was done as per IS: 516-1959 using beam size (15cm x 15cm x
70cm). Flexural strength of concrete was determined using three point loading system. The
flexural strength of beams was found after 7 and 28 days of curing. The bearing surfaces of the
supporting and loading rollers are wiped clean before loading. The beams are placed in the
machine in such a manner that the load is applied to the uppermost surface along the two lines
spaced 13.3 cm apart. The axis of the specimen is aligned with the axis of the loading device.
The load is applied at a rate of 180 kg/min without shock. The specimen is loaded till it fails and
the maximum load (P) applied to the specimen during test is noted. After fracture the distance (a)
between the crack and nearest support is measured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Flexural strength of concrete
The flexural strength of all the mixes was determined at the ages of 7 and 28 days for the various
replacement levels of copper slag with fine aggregates. The values of average flexural strength
for different replacement levels of copper slag (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%) at the end
of different curing periods (7 days & 28 days) are given in Table 7. These values are plotted in
Figure 1 & Figure 2 shows the variation of 7 and 28 days’ flexural strength due to different
percentages of copper slag respectively.

The results show that the flexural strength is increased as copper slag quantity increases up to
40% addition. Beyond that the flexural strength value reduces, but up to 60% still more than
control mix. The results showed that the use of copper slag in concrete increases the flexural
strength of about 17% with that of control mixture.
