Study on Compressive Strength of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with Metakaolin
Abstract: Concrete is that the most typically used material for construction. The worldwide production of cement has greatly inflated since 1990. Production of cement leads to heaps of environmental pollution because it involves the emission of CO2 gas. Supplementary building material materials (SCM) area unit finely ground solid materials that area unit accustomed replace a little of the cement in a very concrete mixture. These supplementary materials could also be present, …

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PRACTICES OF ANCIENT Vs MODERN ERA : A STUDY
Abstract: In the present era, architectural practice is way more different from that of as practiced in ancient era. There are some major factors which were evolved during building design practices periodically. An Architect must consider an over view of historical evolution of buildings by comparing their major design parameters with ancient building design/construction techniques implied. Therefore, it might also help to understand the decision making process of referred era with …

Fly Ash-based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efforts are needed to develop eco-friendly construction materials. In geopolymer concrete, a by-product material rich in silicon and aluminum, such as low-calcium (American Society for Testing and Materials 618 Class F) fly ash, is chemically activated by a high-alkaline solution to form a paste that binds the loose coarse and fine aggregates, and other unreacted materials in the mixture. The test results show the effects …
