  High Strength Concrete (M40) Using Micro Silica and Steel Fiber

  By Shaikh Shoeb SB

  Abstract: Abstract: This experimental study examines the combined effects of micro silica (silica fume, SF) as a partial cement replacement and hooked-end steel fibers on the mechanical properties of M40 grade concrete. Concrete mixes were designed as per IS:10262 with a target characteristic compressive strength of 40 MPa. Silica fume was incorporated at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 12% by weight of cement, while steel fibers (aspect ratio ~50) were added at …

  Evaluation of Culvert design by FRP Rebars

  By Agwan Aryan Shashikant, Mandal Abhijeet Arun, Landge Abhishek Babasaheb, Nirmal Pratik Annasaheb Annasaheb, Abhijeet R Pabale

  Abstract: Abstract The increasing need for long-lasting and sustainable infrastructure has encouraged the use of innovative materials in civil engineering applications. This study examines the design of a culvert reinforced with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars as a substitute for conventional steel reinforcement. FRP bars provide notable benefits such as excellent resistance to corrosion, a high strength-to-weight ratio, and improved durability. These properties make them especially appropriate for structures exposed to …

  Mechanical Response of Cementitious Composites Containing Alkali-Resistant Glass Fiber Reinforcement

  By H. A. Shinde, K. D. Shrikhande, A. D. Rathod, N. A Dane, M. S. Pathrut, P. G. Marmat, S. P. Mate

  Abstract: ABSTRACT Concrete is one of the most widely utilized construction materials because of its excellent compressive strength and long-term durability. Despite these advantages, it exhibits poor tensile strength and is prone to cracking, which can reduce its overall structural performance. To address these shortcomings, the inclusion of fibers in concrete has gained significant attention as an effective reinforcement technique. In this study, the effect of Alkali-Resistant (AR) glass fibers on …

  Smart Risk Management: Power BI in Modern Construction Practices

  By Umang. R. Raichura, Ayush. R. Patel R. Patel, Dr. Jayesh. R. Pitroda, Dhrumil Chauhan, Ditsa. D. Chavda, Mr. Sunil Patel, Tirthrajsinh. U. Chouhan

  Abstract: Abstract— In the evolving domain of construction management, data-driven decision-making plays a pivotal role in ensuring successful project execution. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to risk identification, analysis, and mitigation using Microsoft Power BI. By integrating Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and risk data extracted from periodic reports (PPR, DPR, WPR), we demonstrate how Power BI's data visualization capabilities can transform raw datasets into actionable insights. The generated …

  Digital Twin-Enabled Structural Health Monitoring Framework for Real-Time Damage Detection in Civil Infrastructure

  By Bhavinbhai G. Lakhani

  Abstract: Abstract The paper discusses how Digital Twin-enabled Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) restyles civil infrastructure by finding damage in real time, decreasing costs, and increasing safety levels. As opposed to the traditional inspection methods, Digital Twins apply virtual models and sensors to observe structures, like bridges, dams, and buildings immediately, which reduces the repair costs by 30–50% and extends the project’s lifespan by 20–30%. This research studies four real-world projects, namely, …
