Abstract This paper presents the results, obtained after replacement of fine and coarse aggregates, in concrete mix, with tyre rubber. The tyre rubber, which has been used in the present study, is obtained after the mechanical trituration process of post – consumed tyres from trucks. Researchers have investigated, over the years, the use of recycled tyre rubber waste as a replacement for aggregate in concrete and its effectiveness. “Rubcrete-Mix” which would result from such replacement is found to have many engineering applications and holds promise in future. Rubcrete also possesses good mechanical properties and is considered to be one of the best and economical ways of recycling the used tyres. The present experimental study has the aim of arriving at the optimum quantity of the replacement material for the aggregates in concrete mixtures, for various engineering applications. For achieving a proper bond with the surrounding concrete paste, the recycled aggregates have been designed with respect to their size, shape and gradation. With the water – cement ratio being kept constant fine and coarse aggregate has been replaced with tyre rubber powder and chipped rubber and also cement has been replaced with silica fume. In preparing the concrete, Portland slag cement has been used along with super plasticizer less than 1% by weight of cement to achieve required workability of the resulting concrete. Furthermore, durability studies have been conducted and mixes have been designed for M30 grade concrete. Keywords: Concrete Mix, Mechanical Properties, Rubber Powder, Chipped Rubber, Silica fume.
Lightweight concrete has a lower density than normal concrete, ranging from 300-1850 kg/m3. There are three main types: lightweight aggregate concrete uses expanded aggregates; aerated concrete is produced by incorporating air bubbles; and no-fines concrete omits fine aggregates. Lightweight concrete provides benefits like improved thermal insulation, soundproofing, and fire resistance compared to normal concrete.
In this paper, the authors have discussed about the replacement of aggregates by discarded tyre rubber. This type of concrete is known as “Rubcrete”. It will cover the problems with the natural aggregate and also the reasons behind the use of rubber. The types of tyre rubber that are used, influence of size and content of rubber on concrete, effect of surface texture are discussed. Change in the properties of rubcrete over the conventional concrete, in hardened and fresh state such as slump, unit weight, air content, plastic shrinkage, mechanical strength been discussed. Paper covers the mechanisms behind the strength change, impact resistance, heat and sound insulation, freezing and thawing resistance of rubcrete. At the last, discussion on applications of rubcrete.

Concrete permeability is a key factor in its durability. Permeability is affected by water-cement ratio, with lower ratios producing less permeable concrete. Curing also impacts permeability. Proper curing, including moist curing, produces less permeable concrete. Permeability testing involves measuring water flow through a sample over time under pressure. Sulfate attack can occur when sulfates penetrate permeable concrete and form expansive compounds that crack the material. Resistance to sulfates is improved with lower permeability concrete.
The document discusses the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. It describes workability, segregation, and bleeding as important fresh properties. Workability is affected by water content, mix proportions, aggregate size and shape. The slump cone test and compaction factor test are described for measuring workability. Hardened properties discussed include compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity. The compression test, flexural strength test, and stress-strain relationship determination are described for evaluating hardened properties.
Admixtures are added in concrete to improve the quality of concrete.
Fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), Metakaolin (MK), and rice husk ash (RHA)
Possess certain characteristics through which they influence the properties of concrete differently.
Effect of mineral admixtures on the properties of fresh concrete is very important as these properties may affect the durability and mechanical properties of concrete.

This document discusses pervious concrete, including its history, composition, applications, advantages, and disadvantages. Pervious concrete is a type of concrete with high porosity that allows water to pass through, helping reduce runoff. It was first used in Europe in the 1800s and came to the US after WWII. It allows stormwater to soak into the ground rather than running off surfaces, reducing flooding and pollution. Pervious concrete is composed of cement, coarse aggregates with little fine aggregates, and water. It has a variety of applications like driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas. Advantages include reducing runoff and flooding, while disadvantages include needing maintenance to avoid clogging.
This document studied the effect of adding waste rubber to concrete. It conducted tests with concrete mixtures replacing the coarse aggregates with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 50% and 100% rubber by volume. The results showed that as the percentage of rubber replacement increased, the compressive strength, slump, and density of the concrete decreased. However, adding rubber improves the concrete's elasticity and deformation properties while providing an environmentally friendly way to dispose of waste tires. The study concluded that rubberized concrete is most suitable for applications not requiring high strength, such as concrete pavements.

This document discusses a project to study the use of fly ash for soil stabilization. The objectives are to identify the local soil type, analyze its properties, determine the optimum moisture content, and compare the properties with and without fly ash addition. The methodology involves collecting soil samples, conducting tests like proctor compaction and CBR to establish baseline properties, adding varying amounts of fly ash, and re-testing after curing to find the optimum fly ash dosage. The literature review covers previous studies analyzing improvements to soil strength and compressibility from fly ash addition. The expected outcomes are a better understanding of soil stabilization methods and identification of additional materials to further boost soil strength.
Rheology of Fresh Self Compacted Concrete - Concrete Shear Box_ Ajay and Dr.G...ajay nagaraj
Flow characterization and controlling fresh property of SCC is most critical. Even slight variations in ingredients can have adverse effect on fresh properties; strength and durability of hardened concrete. The material science approach to study rheological properties is essential in order to overcome the paucity posed while characterizing mixes by empirical methods such as the slump flow test.
In the present work, the Bingham parameters of SCC were assessed by using the new concrete shear box. The mixes were designed considering volume of paste based on absolute volume concept. Three different volumes of pastes (0.38, 0.40 and 0.42) with water contents of 170 and 190 lt/m3 and cement contents of 300 and 450 kg/m3 along with slag as filler was used. A unique test procedure was followed, by applying low normal stresses of 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30 MPa with three different displacement rates of 1, 5 and 15mm/min under static condition. The results indicate that the new concrete shear box shall effectively put to use, as an additional tool for evaluating the rheological properties of SCC viz., yield stress and plastic viscosity
Overview of Soil Stabilization :Cement / Lime :PPTAniket Pateriya
Soil-cement is frequently used as a construction material for pipe bedding, slope protection, and road construction as a sub-base layer reinforcing and protecting the subgrade. It has good compressive and shear strength, but is brittle and has low tensile strength, so it is prone to forming cracks.
Lime can be used to treat soils to varying degrees, depending upon the objective. The least amount of treatment is used to dry and temporarily modify soils. Such treatment produces a working platform for construction or temporary roads. A greater degree of treatment supported by testing, design, and proper construction techniques--produces permanent structural stabilization of soils.

Water plays a key role in cement concrete as it acts as a reactant in the chemical process of hydration that provides concrete its strength over time. The water-cement ratio is an important factor, with lower ratios producing higher strength concrete. Water used for mixing must meet requirements for quality and impurities. Admixtures can be used to improve workability or reduce the water content. Proper curing is also important for achieving design strength and durability of the concrete. Sprayed concrete has advantages over poured concrete such as lower permeability and faster strength gain.
This document discusses a study investigating the behavior of concrete with the addition of crumb rubber. A group of civil engineering students at Sharda University conducted an experiment replacing sand in concrete mixes with crumb rubber. The goal was to address the environmental challenge of waste tire disposal and explore potential uses of crumb rubber in concrete. The study examined the compressive and split tensile strengths of rubberized concrete mixes compared to normal concrete. There was a decline in compressive strength but increased ductility when crumb rubber was added. The document proposes uses for rubberized concrete in lightweight construction and infrastructure where shock absorption is beneficial.
Fiber reinforced concrete application and propertiesFayaz Ahamed A P
The document summarizes the properties and applications of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). It states that FRC exhibits slightly higher compressive strength (0-15% increase) and modulus of elasticity (3% increase for each 1% increase in fiber content by volume) compared to plain concrete. The flexural strength, toughness, splitting tensile strength, and impact resistance of FRC are significantly improved compared to plain concrete, increasing by 150-400% with the addition of fibers. Common applications of FRC include runways, aircraft parking, tunnel lining, slope stabilization, dams, hydraulic structures, machine tool frames, and concrete repairs.

Three waste materials are examined: e-waste, rubber tire waste, and coconut shell waste. Their properties like water absorption and specific gravity are tested. Previous research on using these wastes in concrete is summarized. Experiments are described to determine properties of materials. A concrete mix design is provided with the goal of achieving 25MPa compressive strength. The document aims to explore sustainable and economical use of waste in construction materials.
This document discusses using a scientific approach to determine the workability of concrete by measuring its rheological properties. It outlines that workability is traditionally determined through empirical tests like slump tests, which have limitations. Rheology allows measurement of yield stress and plastic viscosity, parameters that better describe concrete flow. Various rheometers are described that can measure these properties, like coaxial cylinder and parallel plate devices. Factors influencing concrete rheology are also discussed. The document concludes workability should be evaluated based on rheological measurements to address limitations of empirical tests.
basic knowledge about performance and characteristics of fly ash based concrete. this was my first presentation....so hard core civil engineers might consider me a layman!... anyway its a good way to start knowing gist and basics.
Self-compacting concrete was developed in Japan in the 1980s to solve problems with inadequate compaction of traditional concrete. It uses a high paste content and superplasticizers to create a concrete that can flow and consolidate under its own weight without vibration. Tests were developed to evaluate properties like filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance. Self-compacting concrete provides benefits like easier placement, faster construction, better surface finish, and improved durability. However, it also has higher costs associated with materials and mix design development.
This document discusses quality control and durability factors in concrete. It defines quality as conformance to requirements and durability as a concrete's ability to resist deterioration when exposed to the environment. Several factors influence concrete durability, including the materials used, water-cement ratio, compaction, curing and the physical and chemical conditions of the service environment. Common durability issues include corrosion, cracking from sulfate attack or alkali-silica reaction, and carbonation reducing alkalinity. Proper quality control of materials and construction processes is needed to produce durable concrete.
Special concrete is used when special properties are more important than normal concrete properties. It is produced using chemical and mineral admixtures added to conventional concrete mixes. There are several types of special concrete including lightweight concrete, high strength concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, ferrocement, ready mix concrete, and others. Each type has specific properties and uses in construction where standard concrete is not suitable.

Compressive strength is identified as the most important property of hardened concrete.
Classification, properties and extraction of AggregatesZeeshan Afzal
Aggregate:
Aggregates are defined as inert, granular, and inorganic material that normally consist of stone or stone like solids.
Aggregates are used :
In road bases as Asphalt Aggregates.
With ordinary Portland cement(OPC) as normal aggregates as fills in foundations and as aggregate accordingly to project specific studies.
About three-fourth (75%) of the volume of Portland cement concrete is occupied by aggregates. Other 25% include cementing materials like cement, sand and synthetic admixtures.Asphalt cement concrete occupy 90% or more of the total volume. The remaining portion is mainly sand and Bitumen which acts as cementing material in is Asphalt Aggregates.
Road Aggregate
Road aggregate are the non-active inert material used to provide mass to the base and sub-base courses.
Road aggregate should have high strength to bear the traffic load.
Road aggregates must have higher impact value to withstand the Tyre impact phenomenon.
By volume, aggregate generally account for 92 to 96% of bituminous concrete.
Road aggregates should have relatively:
High strength
High resistance to impact & abrasion
Impermeable
Chemically inert
Low coefficient of expansion
Concrete Aggregate:
Portland cement concrete occupy volume of about 70-80% of aggregates.
Fine aggregates are used in making thin concrete slabs where a smooth surface is required. Fine aggregate is commonly known as Pan.
Coarse aggregate is used for more massive members.

Siliceous material in aggregates
The siliceous materials are Opal, Chalcedony, Flint & Volcanic Glass.
These siliceous materials have Deleterious reaction, if high alkali-cement is used.
This can be avoided by using low alkali-cement and also by adding Pozzolana to the Mix.
Alkali-aggregate reaction can also occur
The percentage of strained Quartz in the aggregate also have deleterious reaction.
If Percentage of Strained Quartz is >40%, were highly reative.
Between 30-35% were moderate reative.
Argillaceous dolostones ( containing clay minerals) may expand when used with high alkali-cement.
The expansion is due to uptake moisture by the clay minerals.

Conventional Indian construction industry has been forced to look for technology to address its demand & supply gap, diminishing skilled labour and stringent time frame.
Precast concrete construction methodology fits perfectly as an alternative for traditional construction with shorter construction duration and reduction in labor, while exceeding quality standards of conventional construction practices in India.
The success of this technology fully depends on the Architects, the Structural engineers and the Execution team who are willing to adapt this change from convention method of construction to the precast construction. Change gives us a lot of opportunity to adapt, innovate and implement new efficient technology which will be beneficial to the society at large margin.
This technology is becoming trend due to its huge advantages. But in recent past hazards attended to such construction due to collapse. So from the Structural Engineering point of view we have to design keeping in mind the structural safety against this type of collapse.

Fundamental properties of self compacting concrete utilizing waste rubber tir...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Utilization of waste rubber tires in concrete technology is a popular research topic over the last two decades. Reuse of waste
rubber tires in self-compacting concrete leads sustainable construction. Several studies have been conducted on incorporation of
waste rubber tires in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This review paper draws general conclusions on fundamental properties of
SCC by summarising and comparing many independent research works and justifies weather these waste tire aggregates are
possible to utilize in self-compacting concrete or not . From the review it is evident that the waste rubber tire aggregates can be
used in SCC as partial replacement of both coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. The result Although the mechanical properties
of SCC experiences negative effect for introduction of waste rubber tire aggregates, still performance of rubberized SCC is better
than ordinary SCC. Fresh properties of SCC incorporating rubber tire aggregates also is in acceptable limit.

Abstract In this present work we identified and investigated the use of crusher dust and granite floor slab chips in concrete as an alternative fine aggregate and coarse aggregate respectively, the tests were conducted on standard concrete cubes (150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm), cylinders (150 mm x 300 mm) and prisms (100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm). Tests on the physical properties of crusher dust, granite chips and its influence on the strength of fresh and hardened state, along with a comparative study with the concrete of river sand are made. The properties investigated were specific gravity, fineness modulus, water absorption, free surface moisture, bulk density and grading zone. Tests were conducted on 6 cubes, 6 cylinders and 6 prisms for M20 grade mix design with sand and crusher dust as fine aggregates, granite metal and granite floor slab chips as coarse aggregates. The strength parameters compressive strength, Split-Tensile strength and flexural strength were compared at 7 days and 28 days respectively. Mix design procedure in accordance with IS 10262-2009, IS 456-2000 and Sp 23-1982 using 20mm coarse aggregate was adopted for investigation. The investigation indicates that crushed stone dust has vast potential as fine aggregate in concrete construction. Crusher dust not only reduces the cost of construction but also helps reduce the impact on environment by consuming the material hitherto considered as a waste product with few applications.

Physical and mechanical properties of composite brick from cement mortar, fly...eSAT Journals
Abstract Responding to the need of minimizing the extraction of natural resources like sand and lime, this study attempted to use industrial wastes such as fly ash and rubber crumbs as substitute materials in making composite brick. A composite brick was produced by varying the rubber crumbs composition, as sand substitute in the mixture, from 1030 wt.% relative to total aggregate weight. Fly ash, 20 wt.% relative to cement and fly ash weight, was used as binder substitute. After 28 days of curing, composite brick was tested in terms of compressive strength, density and water absorption capacity. Compressive test showed that the brick can only be used in less impacted area considering that it does not meet the minimum standard to be considered as substitute to the commercially available brick. A decreasing trend of its compressive strength is observed as the amount of rubber crumbs increases from 10 to 30% of the total aggregate weight. The addition of light rubber crumbs and fly ash desirably decrease the density of the composite brick when compared to those commercially sold in the market. Water absorption test revealed that the produced composite brick is more efficient in minimizing water absorption. This study demonstrated that composite brick can be made using industrial wastes as substitute for aggregate and binder, with huge implication in brick concrete making. Keywords: Composite brick, rubber crumbs, fly ash, and concrete brick

Abstract
This paper presents the experimental investigation carried out to study use of pond ash in concrete. Now a day it is important to think about effective utilization of pond ash to preserve natural resources and to have sustainable development. The concrete was prepared with different percentage of pond ash (15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 %) and it was tested at different ages (3,7,28,56,90, and 180 days). Results of pond ash concrete were compared with control concrete. For all proportions slump in a range of 100-120 mm was maintained. A property of pond ash concrete in fresh state and hardened state was tested. IST and FST of pond ash concrete goes on increasing as replacement level of pond ash with cement increases this is because of less content of cement. Also it is found that rate of increase of compressive strength at early ages mainly 3,7 and 28 days was low and during later age this rate was faster. This shows that later age strength of pond ash concrete is very good and has a scope to use in concrete which are of great importance in the present context of sustainability in the construction field.

IRJET- Structural Investigation of High Strength Concrete by Partial ReIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on the structural behavior of high-strength concrete with partial replacement of sand and aggregate with crumb rubber. Various tests were conducted on fresh and hardened concrete mixes containing 0%, 8%, 16%, and 24% crumb rubber replacements by volume to analyze properties like compressive strength, density, water absorption, and abrasion resistance. The results showed that compressive strength and density increased initially with rubber replacement, while water absorption decreased initially and then increased with higher replacement levels. Abrasion resistance also increased with higher rubber replacement. It is recommended to use crumb rubber concrete for non-structural applications like floors, partitions, and blocks to help address the waste tire issue.
The document discusses a study on the behavior of beams made with concrete where 10% of the coarse aggregate is replaced with waste rubber. Beams were cast with normal concrete and rubberized concrete. The rubberized concrete beams were tested and their load vs deflection behavior, initial cracking load, ultimate load, and stress-strain curves were compared to normal concrete beams. The results showed that using 10% rubber replacement led to an up to 10% reduction in ultimate load capacity but higher initial cracking loads. Thus, partially replacing coarse aggregate with waste rubber can help utilize waste while maintaining much of the strength of normal concrete.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Factors influencing compressive strength of geopolymer concreteeSAT Journals
Abstract
To study effects of several factors on the properties of fly ash based geopolymer concrete on the compressive strength and also the
cost comparison with the normal concrete. The test variables were molarities of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) 8M,14M and 16M, ratio of
NaOH to sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5, alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio 0.35 and 0.40 and replacement of water in
Na2SiO3 solution by 10%, 20% and 30% were used in the present study. The test results indicated that the highest compressive
strength 54 MPa was observed for 16M of NaOH, ratio of NaOH to Na2SiO3 2.5 and alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio of 0.35. Lowest
compressive strength of 27 MPa was observed for 8M of NaOH, ratio of NaOH to Na2SiO3 is 1 and alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio of
0.40. Alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio of 0.35, water replacement of 10% and 30% for 8 and 16 molarity of NaOH and has resulted in
compressive strength of 36 MPa and 20 MPa respectively. Superplasticiser dosage of 2 % by weight of fly ash has given higher
strength in all cases.

Experimental investigation on circular hollow steel columns in filled with li...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

Experimental behavior of circular hsscfrc filled steel tubular columns under ...eSAT Journals
This document summarizes an experimental study that tested circular concrete-filled steel tube columns with varying parameters. 45 specimens were tested with different fiber percentages (0-2%), tube diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D/t from 15-25), and length-to-diameter (L/d) ratios (from 2.97-7.04). The results found that columns filled with fiber-reinforced concrete exhibited higher stiffness, equal ductility, and enhanced energy absorption compared to those filled with plain concrete. The load carrying capacity increased with fiber content up to 1.5% but not at 2.0%. The analytical predictions of failure load closely matched the experimental values.
Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Evaluation of operational efficiency of urban road network using travel time ...eSAT Journals
This document evaluates the operational efficiency of an urban road network in Tiruchirappalli, India using travel time reliability measures. Traffic volume and travel times were collected using video data from 8-10 AM on various roads. Average travel times, 95th percentile travel times, and buffer time indexes were calculated to assess reliability. Non-motorized vehicles were found to most impact reliability on one road. A relationship between buffer time index and traffic volume was developed. Finally, a travel time model was created and validated based on length, speed, and volume.
Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Morphometric analysis was conducted to understand the hydrological response at the micro-watershed level. Daily runoff was estimated using the SCS curve number model. The results showed a positive correlation between rainfall and runoff. Land use/land cover changes between 2001-2010 were found to impact estimated runoff amounts. Remote sensing approaches provided an effective means to model runoff for this large, ungauged area.
Effect of variation of plastic hinge length on the results of non linear anal...eSAT Journals
Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Effect of use of recycled materials on indirect tensile strength of asphalt c...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

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.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Abstract
This paper presents the results, obtained after replacement of fine and coarse aggregates, in concrete mix, with tyre rubber. The
tyre rubber, which has been used in the present study, is obtained after the mechanical trituration process of post – consumed
tyres from trucks. Researchers have investigated, over the years, the use of recycled tyre rubber waste as a replacement for
aggregate in concrete and its effectiveness. “Rubcrete-Mix” which would result from such replacement is found to have many
engineering applications and holds promise in future. Rubcrete also possesses good mechanical properties and is considered to
be one of the best and economical ways of recycling the used tyres. The present experimental study has the aim of arriving at the
optimum quantity of the replacement material for the aggregates in concrete mixtures, for various engineering applications. For
achieving a proper bond with the surrounding concrete paste, the recycled aggregates have been designed with respect to their
size, shape and gradation. With the water – cement ratio being kept constant fine and coarse aggregate has been replaced with
tyre rubber powder and chipped rubber and also cement has been replaced with silica fume. In preparing the concrete, Portland
slag cement has been used along with super plasticizer less than 1% by weight of cement to achieve required workability of the
resulting concrete. Furthermore, durability studies have been conducted and mixes have been designed for M30 grade concrete.
Keywords: Concrete Mix, Mechanical Properties, Rubber Powder, Chipped Rubber, Silica fume.

1. INTRODUCTION
India has taken step to move forward in infrastructures
towards the growth of globalization. Dumping of wastes
causes serious health effects and creates environmental
problems. Now days vehicles are a major tool to everyone
for a means of transportation along with this production of
tyres are developing tremendously. After using these worn
out tyres which may be throw on open grounds, then these
places may turns to landfills. These tyre wastes slowly
raised enormously due to these depletion of land filling
occurs. Furthermore, these sites may become places to grow
rats, and provide place for mosquitoes’ breeding.
Accumulation of these stock piles of tyres will not degrade
easily but it takes more than 100 years of time because due
to presence of cross – links between the rubber polymer
chains. Since tyres are made from Petroleum by – Products
like methane hence which causes fire accidents while
burning an acrid black plume evolves and which releases a
toxic gases in air when dissolves in water it may pollute the
water and causes dreadful diseases to human beings and
organisms. It is necessary to have a clear awareness on
utilizing industrial wastes for recycling in concrete,
Otherwise, these wastes may shows a huge impact on
environment. It is an excellent way for the conservation of
traditional aggregates in environment. Recently, our Prime
Minister of India Sri Narendhra Modi Garu gave an
elaborate speech at Delhi in Swacha Bharat Programm about
eradication of pollution in environment on the October 2,
2014 it is the desire of our father of nation called Mahatma
Gandhi. Our Governor Sri Narasimhan Garu also invited us
to strive hard deligently to keep our surroundings clean and
green. In past many researchers conducted research and
presented the results on this rubberized concrete. The size,
shape and gradation play a major role in bonding with the
surrounding concrete paste in achieving strength. Most of
the experiments performed by collecting a tyre wastes from
trucks after removing the textile component and steel fibers.
In some occasions the rubber wastes are chemically
pretreated to improve the properties of concrete. Gradually,
many researchers shown interest to do research beyond of
this using waste rubber in concrete. Barluenga and
Hernandez – Olivares (2004) [1]
has been observed that
reduction of spalling damage and improve in fire resistance
by using tyre rubber in high – strength concrete slabs.
Batayneh et al., (2008) [2]
suggested that the usage of rubber
in concrete is not recommended where high strength is
required. It should be useful only where the high strength is
not required.Ganjian et al., (2009) [3]
were replaced coarse
aggregate with tyre rubber in concrete. They found that by
using tyre rubber in concrete it yields to give very less
compressive strength than when natural coarse aggregate
used in concrete.Guneyisi, E., Gesoglu, M. and Ozturan
(2004) [4]
were presented that the chloride ion penetration the

degree of penetration is decreased in rubberized concrete, it
mainly depends up on the rubber content in presence of both
silica fume and without silica fume, it will accounted for a
particular w/c ratio and curing period. Hernandez – Olivares
et al., (2000)[5]
In his investigations observed that the elastic
modulus varies either under static or dynamic load increases
with age through experimentally.Najim and Hall (2005)[6]
observed that rubber incorporated mixes produces very low
unit weight mixes and with high air contents. By
incorporating rubber in concrete it improves not only
dynamic loading behavior but also impact, vibration and
absorption characteristics. Olivares et al., (2006) [7]
investigated of about fatigue behavior of tyre rubber
incorporated in concrete and also its applications on
pavements. Siddique and Naik (2004)[8]
they reported that
and gave a brief studies on using tyre rubber in concrete
they found that by the addition of tyre rubber in concrete
even though it reduces the strength of the concrete but the
main benefit is that it reduces the mass density to as low as
1750 Kg/m3
. Topcu and Bilir (2009)[9]
has been reported
that by adding tyre rubber in concrete it yields to give very
low young’s Moduli its value was 10,000 mpa because tyre
rubber softens the elastic stress – strain response. However,
Turatsinze et al., (2006)[10]
has been observed that in his
investigation by increasing the quantity of rubber shreds in
concrete it will reduces the crack length and width due to
shrinkage and it makes more delay of onset time of
cracking. Yesilata, et al., (2009) [11]
studied about the
thermal properties as a part in his research by adding
shredded wastes polyethylene bottles and automobile tyres.
The thermal transmittance of the concrete samples will be
effectively determined by using dynamic adiabatic – box
technique through carrying out thermal tests. Yesilata, et al.,
(2010) [12]
has investigated about the thermal behavior of a
building structure by using rubberized concrete exterior
walls.
In this investigation the fine aggregate and coarse aggregate
was replaced with the Rubber powder and Chipped Rubber,
finally the Portland slag cement was replaced by silica fume
in certain percentages to observe those influences on
mechanical properties in concrete. The effects of water
absorption, temperature, density and thermal insulating
properties including durability properties were also studied.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
3.1 Compression Strength
The cubes were cast and tested after 28 days of curing
period. Results were represented in figure 1 it was indicating
the strength pattern when Fine aggregate, Coarse aggregate
and Cement was replaced with Rubber Powder, Chipped
Rubber and Silica Fume. It was observed that the 40% of
Compression Strength was reduced with increase of
replacement of fine aggregate with tyre rubber powder by
40%. Also 36% reduction of strength was observed when
both coarse aggregate and fine aggregate was replaced with
Chipped Rubber 2.5% and Rubber Powder 20%. In addition
to this, 34% reduction of compressive strength was observed
when both cement was replaced with silica fume 15% and
fine aggregate was replaced with Rubber powder 10%. This
is due to the weakness of bond between the cement matrix
and tyre rubber powder when compared with the sand.
Fig- 1: Compression Strength of Cubes for 28 days
3.2 Split Tensile Strength
The cylinders were cast and tested in the laboratory after the
curing period of 28 days. Results are represented in figure 2.
Results indicating the strength pattern, when Fine aggregate,
Coarse aggregate and Cement was replaced with Rubber
Powder, Chipped Rubber and Silica Fume. It was observed
that 22 % of split tensile strength was reduced, by increasing
the percentage replacement of sand with tyre Rubber
Powder up to 40%. Also 21% reduction of split tensile
strength was observed, when both coarse aggregate and fine
aggregate were replaced with Chipped Rubber 2.5% and
Rubber Powder 20%. Finally 25% reduction of strength was
observed when replacing of cement with silica fume 15%
and fine aggregate with Rubber Powder 10%. This can be
explained by the poor bond between the cement paste and
the tyre Rubber Powder. Inter face zone is likely to reduce

3.3 Flexural Strength
Similarly the flexural strength reduced by increasing replacement of tyre Rubber Powder by 40% in place of Sand. It was found
that 34%. In addition to this 16% reduction of flexural strength was also observed, when coarse aggregate and fine aggregate were
replaced with chipped rubber and tyre rubber powder and 34% flexural strength reduction was observed when both cement
replaced with silica fume and fine aggregate was replaced with tyre Rubber Powder. The likely reason for this reduction of
strength is that, there will be a very weak bond between the cement paste and the tyre Rubber Powder. The results are shown in
fig.3.

3.4 Modulus of Elasticity
The modulus of elasticity will reduce by increasing the percentage replacement of fine aggregate with tyre Rubber Powder. Even
though it reduces but the material will able to withstand against large deformations and material has a much higher elasticity is
shown in fig. 4. Stress vs. strain test was conducted for the replaced mixes of fine aggregate with tyre rubber powder and it was
represented in fig. 5. Similarly, silica fume was replaced in place of cement and results were represented in fig. 6. It was observed
that the compressive strength reduces for the replaced mixes when compared to control mixture but the rubcrete – mixtures have
ability to withstand against dynamic forces without cracking.

3.5 Water Absorption
Water absorption test carried out on concrete cubes and it was found that it will be increases by increasing the content of tyre
Rubber Powder in place of sand up to 40% because the weak bond between the cement paste and the tyre Rubber Powder as a
result the vacuums will be increases this leads to the water to penetrate through the interface zone of cement matrix and the tyre
Rubber Powder. Also, the tyre rubber particles will have smaller in size as a result it leads to formation of more voids. It will be
shown in fig.7.

3.6 Density
Density will reduce by increasing the percentage replacement of tyre rubber powder in place of sand it was founded that it will be
reaches up to 5.7% when fine aggregate was replaced with tyre Rubber Powder from 0% to 40% this is because tyre rubber
powder has lower specific gravity than sand. This is shown in fig. 8.

3.7 Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation test was conducted for the specimens by supplying heat from a constant source of 700
C and results were
represented in fig.9.The percent reduction in thermal insulation increases as tyre rubber powder replacement increases and it was
found that with percentage reduction of 25.71% to 51.42% respectively. It was observed that thermal insulation will increase by
increasing the percentage replacement of fine aggregate with tyre rubber powder because the tyre rubber powder will have very
low density and lower conductivity when compared with sand.

3.8 Rapid Chloride Ion Permeability Test
Rapid chloride ion permeability test was conducted under durability of concrete and the results are presented in Fig. 10. It was
observed that the flow of charge is low in specimens, which are having tyre rubber powder replaced with fine aggregate. From the
results, it can be concluded that the rubcrete – mix exhibits low permeability.
Fig- 10: Rapid Chloride Permeability Test
4. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results and then analysis, the following
conclusions have been arrived it. Compressive strength of
rubber powder mixtures decreases as the percentage of
replacement of sand by rubber powder increases, for various
percentages of mixes. Density decreases as the percent of
rubber powder replacement increases, for various
percentages of mixes. Water absorption increases as
percentage of rubber powder content increases. Slump of the
concrete ranges from 75 to 100 mm. Modulus of Elasticity
decreases as rubber powder replacement increases and
higher flexibility was obtained. Thermal insulation increases
as rubber powder percentage increases. Optimum
replacement of coarse aggregate with chipped rubber was
adopted as 2.5%. Rubcrete – Mix is also one form of light
weight concrete. Use of alternative for traditional aggregates
that have been in use over the years would help in the
conservation of environment. Compressive strength
improves slightly in the presence of silica fume. Use of tyre
rubber powder leads to low permeability value, which can
be attributed to its lower density and conductivity. Low
permeability can be achieved, by use of silica fume in
concrete.
