EXPERIMENTAL BEHAVIOUR OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE USING GGBS WITH PARTIAL RE...Ijripublishers Ijri
Concrete is Most widely used construction Material in the Modern Era because of its good Compressive strength and
high durability. As we know Concrete comprises a Mixture of cement, sand (fine aggregate), course aggregate and water
which makes up normal plain concrete, to increase the strength of concrete we can design the mix with greater Flexibility,
but the problems Arises in structure as load age, increaseof floors which demands increase of high strength concrete
and more steel. So, especially at the beams, columns joints heavy reinforcement meshing is done so that it becomes If
the concrete is not compacted then strength may not be achieved, so the solution for the problem is SCC which we call
it asself-compacting concrete. Were this SCC has ability to compact by itself Gravity and self-flow ability same strength
can be Here in the research, it is carried out self-compaction concrete to improve strength & make concrete economical
so, a mix is dispend of M30,M40 Grades with adding chemical admixture named poly carboxylic ether (ADVA960) , a
Retarder Basically Which also increases strength and workability &replacing cement with GGBS (Ground Granulated
Blast Furnace Slag) 40%&50% .The tests are carried out to find the increase in strength by adding chemical admixture &
replacing GGBS 40% & 50%.By the chemical admixture adding up to 2% Max were previous strength shows that adding
of chemical admixture greater than 2% which results to increase the initial setting time and decrease in the w/c ratio.
Test will be conducted for 3,7,28 days find the increase of strength and its other properties
Flow in super critical state is an unstable type of flow. It has a tendency to transfer n to sub critical flow. Flow depth is small in a supercritical state. which increases suddenly while changing the subcritical state. This phenomenon sudden increase in depth of flow is called a HYDRAULIC JUMP.
The derivation of the equation of motion for various fluids is similar to the d derivation of Eular’s equation. However ,the tangential stresses arise during the motion of a real viscous fluid, must be considered
A sluice is a water channel that is controlled at its head by a gate (from the dutch word “sluis” ). For example, a millrace is a sluice that channels water towards a water mill. The terms “sluice gate” , "knife gate", and "slide gate" are used interchangeably in the water/wastewater control industry.
During its forward movement, the blade cuts the ground and the loosened earth collected in the body of scraper. When the scraper is fully loaded, it is raised above ground d taken to the site of dumping. The earth from the scarper is than taken out by opening the bottom of it and the earth is laid in layer of required thickness.
Pump is a mechanical device to increase the pressure energy of fluid. The pumps are used as water – handling device in construction projects. The water is required to handle for human consumption, drainage and dewatering. The liquid handled by the pumps may be water, oil, milk, sludge etc.
AN IMPLOSION IS AN EENT WHERE SOMETHING COLLAPS INWARD, BECAUSE THE EXTERNAL ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE IS GREATER THAN THE INTERVAL PRESSURE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU PUMPED THE AIR OUT OF A GLASS TUBE, IT MIGHT IMPLODE.
The hoisting is the lifting of the material against gravity and maybe done with a wide range of equipments from the small hand operated simple screw or hydraulic-jack to modern high powered cranes and elevators.
Stiffness method of structural analysisKaran Patel
This method is a powerful tool for analyzing indeterminate structures. One of its advantages over the flexibility method is that it is conducive to computer programming.
Stiffness method the unknowns are the joint displacements in the structure, which are automatically specified.
When rainwater falls on the ground, a small part of it is initially absorbed by the top thin layer of soil so as to replenish the soil moisture deficiency.
A building is provided with a drainage system to discharge effectively the sewage of the building into the public sewer. Domestic sewage from a building includes human excreta as well as discharge from the bathroom, kitchen, etc. and collected by building sewers and finally discharged into the public sewer.
Disasters natural or man-made can destroy lives and properties on a very large scale, often pushing nation, in the quest for progress, back by several decades, thus, efficient management of disasters, rather than more response to their occurrence has received increased attention in the country.
IMAGE INTERPRETATION TECHNIQUES of surveyKaran Patel
Image interpretation is the process of examining an aerial photo or digital remote sensing image and manually identifying the features in that image. This method can be highly reliable and a wide variety of features can be identified, such as riparian vegetation type and condition, and anthropogenic features
In engineering, deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load. It may refer to an angle or a distance.
The deflection distance of a member under a load is directly related to the slope of the deflected shape of the member under that load, and can be calculated by integrating the function that mathematically describes the slope of the member under that load. Deflection can be calculated by standard formula (will only give the deflection of common beam configurations and load cases at discrete locations), or by methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or the direct stiffness method, amongst others. The deflection of beam elements is usually calculated on the basis of the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation while that of a plate or shell element is calculated using plate or shell theory.

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.
3. Definition
A slump test is a method used to determine the consistency of concrete. The consistency, or
stiffness, indicates how much water has been used in the mix. The stiffness of the concrete mix
should be matched to the requirements for the finished product quality
Slump is a measurement of concrete’s workability, or fluidity.
It’s an indirect measurement of concrete consistency or stiffness.
Principle
The slump test result is a measure of the behavior of a compacted inverted cone of concrete under
the action of gravity. It measures the consistency or the wetness of concrete.
4. Apparatus
Slump cone : inverted cone, 300 mm (12 in) of height. The base is 200 mm (8in) in
diameter and it has a smaller opening at the top of 100 mm
Scale for measurement,
Temping rod(steel) 16mm diameter, 60cm length.
5. Procedure
The base is placed on a smooth surface and the container is filled with concrete in
three layers, whose workability is to be tested .
Each layer is temped 25 times with a standard 16 mm (5/8 in) diameter steel rod,
rounded at the end.
After the top layer has been tamped, the concrete is struck off level with trowel
and tamping rod.
Then, the mould is removed by lifting it slowly and carefully in a vertical direction.
This allows the concrete to subside. This subsidence is referred as slump concrete.
The difference in level between the height of the mould and that of the highest
point of the subsided concrete is measured. This difference in height in mm is
taken as slump of concrete.
6. Types Of Slump
The slumped concrete takes various shapes, and according to the profile
of slumped concrete, the slump is termed as;
Collapse Slump
Shear Slump
True Slump
7. Types Of Slump
Collapse Slump
In a collapse slump the concrete collapses completely.
A collapse slump will generally mean that the mix is too wet or that it is a high
workability mix, for which slump test is not appropriate.
Shear Slump
In a shear slump the top portion of the concrete shears off and slips sideways. OR
If one-half of the cone slides down an inclined plane, the slump is said to be a shear
slump.
If a shear or collapse slump is achieved, a fresh sample should be taken and the
test is repeated.
True Slump
If concrete subsides evenly it is called true slump.
9. Introduction
Compacting factor test, developed at the road research laboratory UK
is more precise and sensitive than the slump test. It is primarily
designed for laboratory work but can also be used in the field. It is
particularly useful for concrete mixes of very low workability as are
normally used when concrete is to be compacted by vibration such
concrete may constantly fail to slump.
For the normal range of concrete the compacting factor lies between
0.8 - 0.92
10. Apparatus
Trowels
Hand Scoop (15.2 cm long)
Rod of steel or other suitable material
(1.6 cm diameter, 61 cm long rounded
at one end ).
Balance.
11. Procedure
1) Ensure the apparatus and associated equipment are clean before test and free from
hardened concrete and superfluous water .
2) Weigh the bottom cylinder to nearest 10gm , put it back on the stand and cover it up with
a pair of floats .
3) Gently fill the upper hopper with the sampled concrete to the level of the rim with use of a
scoop .
4) Immediately open the trap door of the upper hopper and allow the sampled concrete to
fall into the middle hopper .
5) Remove the floats on top of the bottom cylinder and open the trap door of the middle
hopper allowing the sampled concrete to fall into the bottom cylinder .
6) Remove the surplus concrete above the top of the bottom cylinder by holding a float in
each hand and move towards each other to cut off the concrete across the top of cylinder
12. 7) Wipe clean the outside of cylinder of concrete and weigh to nearest 10gm .
8) Subtract the weight of empty cylinder from the weight of cylinder plus
concrete to obtain the weight of partially compacted concrete .
9) Remove the concrete from the cylinder and refill with sampled concrete in
layers .
10) Compact each layer thoroughly with the standard Compacting Bar to achieve
full compaction .
11) Float off the surplus concrete to top of cylinder and wipe it clean .
12) Weigh the cylinder to nearest 10gm and subtract the weight of empty cylinder
from the weight of cylinder plus concrete to obtain the weight of fully
compacted concrete .
14. Definition
The flow table test or flow test is a method to determine the consistence of fresh
concrete.
Application When fresh concrete is delivered to a site by a truck mixer it is
sometimes necessary to check its consistence before pouring it into formwork.
If the consistence is not correct, the concrete will not have the desired qualities
once it has set, particularly the desired strength. If the concrete is too pasty, it may
result in cavities within the concrete which leads to corrosion of the rebar,
eventually leading to the formation of cracks (as the rebar expands as it corrodes)
which will accelerate the whole process, rather like insufficient concrete cover.
Cavities will also lower the stress the concrete is able to support.
15. Equipment
Flow table with a grip and a hinge, 70 cm x 70 cm.
Abrams cone, open at the top and at the bottom - 30 cm high, 17 cm
top diameter, 25 cm base diameter
Water bucket and broom for wetting the flow table.
Tamping rod, 60 cm height
Scale for measurement
16. Conducting
The flow table is wetted.
The cone is placed on the flow table and filled with fresh concrete in two layers,
each layer 25 times tamp with tamping rod.
The cone is lifted, allowing the concrete to flow.
The flow table is then lifted up several centimeters and then dropped, causing the
concrete flow a little bit further.
After this the diameter of the concrete is measured in a 6 different direction and
take the average.
18. Definition
Another method used in the field and laboratory
to measure the consistency of concrete is the ball
penetration test which is also known as the Kelly
ball test.
Procedure
It is performed by measuring the penetration, in
inches, of a 6-in. diameter steel cylinder with a
hemi spherically shaped bottom , weighing 30
lbs.
19. Advantages
One of the advantages of the ball penetration test can be performed on
the concrete in a hopper, buggy, wheelbarrow, or other suitable
container.
Another advantage of this method is its simplicity and the rapidity with
which the consistency of the concrete can be determined.
It is also not dependent on a procedure of filling and rodding a container
like the slump test.
20. Definition
It is based on measuring the time (Called VEBE time) needed to transfer the
shape of a concrete mix from a frustum cone to a cylinder (these shapes are
standardized by the apparatus of this test), by vibrating and compacting the
mix. The more VEBE time needed the less workable the mix is. This method is
very useful for stiff mixes.
Apparatus
Cylindrical container with diameter = 240 mm, and height = 200 mm
Mold: the same mold used in the slump test.
Disc : A transparent horizontal disc attached to a rod which slides vertically
Vibrating Table : 380*260 mm, supported by four rubber shock absorbers
Tamping Rod
Stop watch
21. Procedure
1) Slump test as described earlier is performed, placing the slump cone inside the
sheet metal cylindrical pot of the consist meter.
2) The glass disc attached to the swivel arm is turn and place on the top of the
concrete in the pot.
3) The electrical vibrator is then switched on and simultaneously a stop watch started.
4) The vibration is continued till such time as the conical shape of the concrete
disappears and the concrete assume a cylindrical shape.
5) This can be judge by observing the glass disc from the top disappearance of
transparency.
6) Immediately when the concrete fully assume a cylindrical shape, the stop watch is
switched off.
22. 7) The time required for the shape of concrete to change from slump
cone shape to cylindrical shape in second is known as Vibe Degree.
8) This method is very suitable for very dry concrete whose slump value
cannot be measure by slump test, but the vibration is too vigorous
for concrete with slump greater than about 50m.
The test fails if VeBe Time is less than 5 seconds .. And the test must be
created when no collapse or shears slump in concrete
