Study on Properties of Concrete Cured With Poly Ethylene Glycol-600
Abstract: After water, concrete is the most using material globally. Without concrete, the world is unimaginable. The foundation of civilization is concrete. Coarse aggregate, cement ,fine aggregate and water are the main ingredients in concrete, which requires curing to attain its strength. Concrete must therefore cure for 28 days in order to complete the necessary hydration, desired strength. For the traditional curing processes, a lot of water is needed. This becomes …

Manufacturing of interlocking brick with cement- lime mortar and hyposludge
Abstract: Lime is still a valuable building material that is frequently used in construction as lime mortar. Hydrated lime can be added to concrete mixes used to make blocks and other concrete products. Sugarcane mud, also characterized as filter cake, is a byproduct of the sugar purification process. The introduction of these components into the environment pollutes it. There have been several attempts to address these difficulties. A experiment of manufacturing …

Advantages of Use of Base Isolator and Fluid Viscous Dampers
Abstract: Several disastrous earthquakes have struck the world in recent decades, resulting in increasing humandeaths due to building collapse and significant structural damage The damages due to seismic actionshave made us realise that structures (residential, industrial, bridges etc) must be designed andconstructed to be resistant to earthquake. The building which are not designed properly will be proneto major damage. The prime option to withstand these building during severe earthquakes is seismicimprovement. …

Evaluation of The Resistance of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Steel Slag and Cement with Bentonite Powder
Abstract: According to the WHO, concrete is the third most consumed material by humans after food and water. Concrete consists of cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and water. In the production of cement, carbon dioxide is released into the environment, which becomes a big problem for environmental protection. Therefore, there is a need to modify the cement with some natural materials with pozzolanic properties. The aggregates, which are extracted from natural …

Review on segregation resistance of self compacting concrete
Abstract: In order to produce thin precast elements, a self-compacting concrete was prepared. While assembling these components, homogenously scattered steel strands rather than normal steel-building up network were added to the substantial combination at a dose of 10% by mass of concrete. A sufficient substantial strength class was accomplished with a water to solidify proportion of 0.40..Extensive test programs of SCC with differences in water – binder proportions, glue volumes, mixes …

An Investigation on Aggregate Distribution in Concrete
Abstract: Falling behavior is generally studied by mathematicians. The first study is conducted by Comte de Buffon with name “Falling needles experiment” and is widely known. Buffon researched the falling needle behavior finding the fall of needles in relation with Pi. However, although aggregates are fallen to the mould in cement paste, falling behaviour of concrete is rarely studied considering the statistical parameters of the fall.Accordingly, an experimental study is conducted …

Effect of RHA on Strength of M20 Concrete under both Acidic and Non-acidic Medium by Using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test
Abstract: This work investigates the effects of adding rice husk ash (RHA) on strength of M20 cement concrete under both acidic and non-acidic medium by using NDT i.e., Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test. M20 strength concrete was produced using locally available materials. The rice husk ash (RHA) passing 200 micron and 325-micron sieves taken as a 0% - 20% weight of cement & replacement of cement has been done. The RHA effect …

Optimum Weight Design of a Singly Reinforced Rectangular Concrete Beam
Abstract: In this paper, the results of the optimum weight design of a simply supported singly reinforced concrete rectangular beam under uniform loading with respect to bending moment, steel ratio and design variable constraints are discussed. The design constraints were derived based on BS 8110, Part 1, 1997 design rules. The values of the design variables that optimized the self-weight of the beam subject to the constraints considered were obtained using …

Impact of Additives on the Split Tensile Strength of Roller Compacted Concrete
Abstract: Additives are implemented as partial replacement of Portland cement in concrete to enhance the required physical properties. In the present investigation, roller compacted concrete slab samples were prepared using gap and dense aggregate gradation. Three percentages of Portland cement were adopted, (16, 12, and 10) % by weight of aggregates. Three types of additives, (hydrated lime, fly ash, and fumed silica) were implemented as partial substitute of Portland cement. Core …
