Abstract :Soil stabilization is the process of adding artificial materials to the soil to improve the properties. In this present study, the compaction characteristics of stabilized soil is analyzed with adding additives such as stone dust (SD) and concrete waste(CW). The soil is taken from Mamallapuram at Kanchipuram district. Study implies that adding stone dust improves clay soil properties. Stone dust and concrete waste are taken as those which are passed through IS SIEVE 600µ. Initially the index properties of soil are found out. The compaction character is found out Standard Proctor’s Test. In this study, the additives are added in the trial ratios of SD
and CW (1:1,1:2,2:1,1:3,3:1). From that we conclude that which ratio of SD and CW gave the good result and the same trial ratios is used to conduct the Unconfined Compressive Strength Test of Clayey soil. The failure pattern is observed. From the test, we observed the strength parameters for different trial ratios and conclude which ratio gives the good strength. |

Author : R.Deepak, P.Hari Narayanee |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is the new category of concrete which gets compacted and become dense due to its own self weight. SCC is a High Performance Concrete(HPC) that has excellent deformability and resistance to segregation in its fresh state. The hardened concrete is dense, homogenous and has the same engineering properties and durability as traditional vibrated concrete. It helps in easier placement without vibration or mechanical consolidation. |

FLEXURAL BEHAVIOR OF HYBRID FIBRE REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS UNDER CYCLIC LOADING |
Author : P.Hari Narayanee, R. Deepak |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Hybrid fibre reinforced concrete is the one in which more than one or two types of fibers are used as secondary reinforcement. Fibres have been used to reinforce materials that are weaker in tension than in compression. However for any reinforcement to be effective, it must be stiffer than the concrete matrix that is
reinforcing. Generally the less stiff fibres only offer benefits in improving the tensile strength of plastic and semi-hardened concrete and are therefore mainly used to reduce plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement cracking until now, most of the production of HFRC has been for non-structural applications, with the fibres added primarily for control of cracking due to plastic or drying shrinkage. The aim of this project is to
determine the behaviour of the hybrid fibre reinforced concrete slabs under cyclic loading. The fibres used here are polyolefin and steel corrugated fibres. The percentage of fibres used here are 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%. So far the experimental works has been done under impact loading. The main aim of this project is to determine the flexural behaviour of hybrid fibre reinforced concrete beam under cyclic loading .the beam size
adopted here is 1000mmx 150mmx170mm.

Author : V.M.G.CHENTHIL KUMAR |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This study is focused about the feasibility of reusing cast iron swars powder in concrete by partially replacing fine aggregate. The test performed to evaluate cast iron swars powder concrete quality included slump, fresh density, and dry density, Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength and Split Tensile Strength. Two types of Conventional reference concrete mixes M20 and M25 were prepared. Concrete mixes were made
with C.I swars powder replacing 15%, 20% and 25% of the sand and with the same amount of cement, coarse aggregate and water-to-cement ratio as in the reference mixes. A series of 288 experiments and 96 tests were carried out. Cube, Beam and cylinder specimens made with all the types of concrete mixes were cured for 3, 7 and 28 days. The experimental results shows that the concrete mixes made with C.I swars
powder had higher compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength than the reference concrete mixes.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATE BY QUARRY DUST IN CONCRETE WITH STEEL POWDER |
Author : R.Rasika Priya A.Krishna Kumar Athithan, E.Ramya |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :This research work is aimed to investigate the effects of partially replacing fine aggregate with our local additive quarry dust with steel powder in concrete at optimum replacement percentage which will help to reduce the cost of structure. Common river sand is expensive due to excessive cost of transportation from natural sources. Also large-scale depletion of these sources creates environmental problems. As
environmental transportation and other constraints make the availability and use of river sand less attractive, a substitute or replacement product for concrete industry needs to be found. River sand is most commonly used fine aggregate in the production of concrete poses the problem of acute shortage in many areas. In such a situation the Quarry rock dust can be an economic alternative to the river sand. This paper presents the feasibility of the usage of Quarry Rock Dust as hundred percent substitutes for Natural Sand in concrete. Mix design has been developed for M20 grade using design an approach IS.
Also the proposed work is aimed to analyse whether the strength of concrete will increase or not while adding the steel powder with concrete. Six different replacement levels namely 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% are chosen for the study concern to replacement method with 1% steel powder. A range of curing periods started from 7 days, 14 days and 28 days are considered. Tests were conducted on cubes, cylinders and beams to study the strength of concrete made of Quarry Rock Dust with steel powder and the results were compared with the Natural Sand Concrete. It is found that the compressive, flexural strength and tensile strength Studies of concrete made of Quarry Rock Dust are more than the conventional concrete. It was reported that significant increase in compressive strength, modulus of rupture and split tensile strength when 40 percent of sand is replaced by Quarry Rock Dust in concrete
with 1% steel powder. |

Author : Jayavasakan.S, Santosh Raja.V |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Concrete when exposed to seawater may deteriorate from the influence and effects of chemical and physical processes of the marine environment. The influence of marine salts and chemical ingredients in the seawater can easily corrode the concrete and steel in the bridge structures which results in reducing the strength and durability. To prevent and overcome the above damage which reduces the durability the quality requirements are studied for concrete and steel used in the bridge section. The paper presents results on the mechanical properties and durability under marine exposure of a reinforced concrete. |

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON FERRO-CEMENT ROOFING UNITS USING GEOPOLYMER COMPOSITE MORTAR |
Author : Sureshkumar.R, Shanthi.K |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Ferrocement is a composite material generally made up of cement matrix and reinforcement in the form of multiple layers of mesh. Ferro cement structures are flexible and strong, due to the fact that they are thin and the steel reinforcement is distributed widely throughout the mortar. With silicon and alumina as the main constituents, fly ash has great potential to be used as a cement replacing material. Fly ash when in contact with alkaline solutions forms inorganic alumino-silicate polymer
product known as geopolymer. Hence in this project we have made an attempt to use geopolymer mortar and geopolymer composite mortar instead of cement matrix in ferrocement flat roofing units. This project aims to study the flexural behaviour of precast Ferrocement roofing units developed using Geopolymer mortar and geopolymer composite mortar |

Author : Balaji.M, Swathi. S, Raj Benno.J.B |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In the contemporary manufacturing scenario, agility is seen as the fundamental weapon for competitiveness and long term survival. Responsiveness towards the ever changing environment has continuously evolved from the concept of agility. Agility in its simplest form can be defined as the capability to respond quickly and effectively to the ever changing market conditions. Past literature exhibits that imminent agility problem in inflexible and fragile supply chains eventually arise from the unidentified enablers which are the pivot point in this research attempt. In this paper, prominent agile supply chain enablers have been traced from times of yore and Interpretive Structural Models (ISM) have been deployed to develop Structural SelfInteraction Matrix (SSIM) in order to identify the relationships between the enablers, followed by Graph Theoretic Approach (GTA) for classification of enablers. A digraph has been developed to establish the interdependencies among ISM identified driver enablers followed by development of the permanent function for Agility Index (AI) tabulations in order to categorize the constraints in supply chain agility
transformation.
