ABSTRACT
In general, the ordinary bricks are prepared only by using clay. Due to that preparation, the
clay is exhausting. In order to solve those effect, the waste materials are utilized. The waste
materials such as sludge, granite powder and fly ash are used with clay. In many countries, the
sludge is a serious problem due to its high treatment cost and risks to environment & also to human
health. Granite wastes are obtained from granite sawing and polishing industries, it damages and
pollutes the environment. Fly ash is a useful by-product from thermal power stations using
pulverized coal as a fuel and it has considerable pozzolanic activity. The bricks are the major
concern building materials used for construction purpose. The sludge, granite powder and fly ash
are incorporated with clay in order to control the environmental effect. While the sludge is added
with clay, the water absorption get increased and it reduces the compressive strength. Granite
powder and fly ash are added to get high compressive strength.
Key Words - Clay brick, Waste materials (sludge, granite powder and fly ash), Environmental
effect, Compressive strength.

ABSTRACT
Ferrocement is one of the structural materials, widely used due to its advantage from its
particular behavior such as mechanical properties and impact strength. This paper deals with the
investigation of ferrocement slabs subjected to flexure test. A total of 4 slabs were cast and tested,
the size of these slabs are of 600m x 300mm x 25mm. These slabs were cast by varying the number
and size of reinforcing mesh layers. Cement mortar matrix mix for ferrocement slabs was finalized
by developing 5 mixes of high strength mortar. A mix of ratio 1:1 mortar with 90% cement, 10%
silica fume and M-sand gives the compressive strength of 80-90MPa, therefore it is adopted as a
best mix for ferrocement slab. Further welded mesh of 2 and 4 layers of 60mm and 30mm openings
were used as reinforcement for these slabs. From the results of this study, it is observed that
flexural strength increases with increase in mesh layers and mesh size.
Key words: ferrocement slabs, welded and wire mesh, high strength mortar, flexural strength etc..

ABSTRACT
For any reinforced concrete framed structure, the beam column joint has always been a
vulnerable location. This project aims to develop new mechanism to enhance the performance of
such vulnerable joints in the building. The inspiration for choosing this topic is the evidences
displayed by the failure of these joints in multiple RC structures. Intensive research is being carried
out to strengthen such a vital location in the structure, with modification incorporated in the joint
region. This present study is to understand the effect of different type of detailing at joint region.
Detailing for specimens were carried out considering two new and unique methods. The
experimental investigations have been carried out by subjecting the specimen to cyclic loading and
observations were made on energy dissipation, yield load, ultimate load and cracking load. The
load displacement and moment rotation hysteretic curve were developed for various specimens
and performance comparison was made.

housing shortage, mainly for the low income groups of people. To fulfill this basic needs, India
requires innovative, energy efficient building materials for strong and durable housing in fast track
method of construction at affordable cost. All these concerns have lead to develop an energy
efficient and economical material. Lightweight prefabricated sandwich slab panel which provides
rapid or faster construction and contributes to environmental protection, can provide a solution to
many of the issues. This project describes the overview of sandwich panel, method of construction
and its properties. In addition, this sandwich construction deals with the problem of delimitation
of face sheets leading to their premature failure. This can avoided by providing binding cover over
the core. The study conducted involved the development of high performance cement based mortar
mix to cast ferro-cement cover. Lightweight sandwich panel is to provides rapid or faster
construction and contributes to environmental protection .The sandwich panel in any structure is
made up of three layers which consists of the thin skin-layer bonded to each side and lightweight
material(polystyrene) as a core. It is used due to reduce the self weight of structure and posses
good thermal characteristics. The eight panels are casted and tested under deflection at mid span

ABSTRACT
In steel-concrete composite structures the behavior of the shear connections is of a great
importance. A new type of shear connector called the perfobond which was introduced in
recognition of the unsatisfactory behaviour of shear studs resulting from fatigue problems caused
by live loads on composite structures. This connector includes a welded steel plate, with a number
of holes. The flow of concrete through the rib holes formed dowels that provide resistance in both
the vertical and horizontal directions. This shear connector is a viable alternative to the headed
stud connector. It was revealed that passing of transverse reinforcing bars through the perfobond
rib connector holes increased the ultimate capacity of the connection.The test results indicated that
slotted perfobond rib connectors improved the overall ductility of the test specimens. Finally a
comparison between theoritical results of headed stud and existing experimental results of
perfobond shear connectors were concluded with satisfactory results of perfobond connectors.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, the construction industry has been faced with a decline in the availability
of natural sand due to the growth of the industry, exorbitant hike in the price of fine aggregate and
its limited availability. To overcome this type of problems are want to find new consumption
material. Granite and Iron industries produce lot of dust and waste materials. The wastes from the
granite polishing and Iron related units are being disposed to environment which cause health
hazard. This granite powder and Iron powder waste can be utilized for the preparation of concrete
as partial replacement of sand. In order to explore the possibility of utilizing the granite and Iron
powder as partial replacement to sand, an experimental investigation has been carried out. Granite
and Iron fines which are the by-product produced in granite factories and Iron plants while cutting
huge granite rocks to the desired shapes and iron materials respectively. Granite and Iron fines are
used as a filler material in the concrete, replacing the fine aggregate which will help in filling up
the pores in the concrete. Filling up of the pores by granite and iron fines increase the strength of
the concrete and also a material which is abundantly to investigate the strength behaviour of
concrete with use of granite and Iron fines as an additive. Concrete is prepared with granite fines
and Iron fines as a partial replacement of concrete in 4 different propositions making granite
powder as constant as 10% from various literatures and Iron Powder as 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%
and mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength
are investigated.
Keywords: Granite Powder, Iron Powder, Environmental Hazards and Mechanical Properties.

ABSTRACT
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world and its generation
is expected to increase by 2-5% annually.Current scenario of its disposal through landfill or
improper recycling techniques canhave negative impacts on theenvironment. On the other hand,
use of conventional materials in concrete making depletes the natural resources constantly unless
they are suitably substituted. Thus, the currentstudy isaimed to use the non-metallic fractions of
waste printed circuit board(WPCB) as a replacement for river sand and fly ash and silica fume as
replacements for cement in concrete making which in turn may directly help in reducing the cost
of concrete manufacturing, reduced landfill cost and energy savings thus protecting the
environment and ecosystem from possible pollutions.Various mix proportions with 0 to 20% of
WPCB is replaced for fine aggregate in M20 grade of concrete. 25% fly ash and 10% silica fume
were used as replacement for cement in all mixes other than control mix. Compressive and split
tensile strength of WPCB replaced concrete and control mix for 7, 21 and 28 days were evaluated
and compared. Results revealed that WPCB can be replaced upto10% for fine aggregate.
Key words: WPCB, concrete, compressive strength and split tensile strength.

ABSTRACT
Concrete has been one of the major construction materials used since the time of the Roman
Empire. However, the use and manufacturing of concrete has led to serious environmental
concerns. Cement, an ingredient of concrete, is a major contributor to carbon-di-oxide emissions,
which in turn promotes global warming.
Thus Geopolymer Concrete attempts to curb the cement content, by replacement with a
cementitious material like Flyash. Partial replacement of fine aggregate with Copperslag is a type
of waste management strategy, employed to prevent removal of sand from riverbeds. Excessive
removal of the sand can cause destruction of river ecosystems. Hence the aim of this report is to
produce durable and eco-friendly Geopolymer concrete without employing the use of ordinary
Portland Cement.
The component materials of concrete include flyash, GGBS, copperslag, Sand, Gravel,
Sodium hydroxide, Sodium Silicate and water. The molarity of Sodium Hydroxide and Sodium
Silicate solution is taken as 8M. 30 test cubes and 30 cylinders of nominal sizes were cast.The
specimens were tested for compressive and split tensile strength with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and
100% replacement by copperslag. Curing of the cubes is done by ambient curing and duration of
the curing process is for 14 days.The results indicate that with increase in copperslag, the
compressive strength of the concrete increases for an optimum percentage of 50%.
Keywords: Geopolymer Concrete, Flyash, Copperslag, GGBFS, Compressive strength.

ABSTRACT
An experimental study has been carried out to understand the behavior of the basalt fiber
reinforced concrete filled steel tubular column under uniaxial load. A concrete-filled steel tubular
(CFST) column is formed by filling a steel tube with concrete. It was well known that concrete-
filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are being increasingly used in the construction buildings.
Basalt CFST are used to perform better than the normal CFST. The experimental works are carried
by performing various tests such as strength test, flexural test, and compressive test. The results
and graphs are plotted and shown below. A comparative analysis between basalt fiber reinforced
concrete filled mild steel tubular column and basalt fiber reinforced concrete filled stainless steel
tubular column will determine the strength between them.
Keywords: Concrete Filled Steel Columns (CFST), Basalt Fiber Reinforced Concrete (BRFC),

ABSTRACT
Aerated Concrete utilizes foaming agents or chemical admixtures to entrain air into the
concrete and thereby decreasing the density of the concrete. The process of utilizing foaming
agents produces light weight concrete that can be utilized in many wide applications. But this
Foamed Concrete has the drawback of low strength compared to normal concrete. Hence to
increase the strength of the Foamed concrete while maintaining its advantage of low density
requires that the chemical nature of the Foamed Concrete to not be disturbed. Thus strengthening
of the mechanical aspect by providing Basalt fibre reinforcements is done. The experimental
analysis is carried out with Basalt fibres and from the results the optimum quantity of fibre
reinforcement is found. A Comparative analysis between the mechanical properties such as
Compressive, tensile, flexural and impact strength of normal Foamed Concrete and fibre
reinforced foamed concrete is also done, and the advantages and disadvantages are distinguished.
The economy of utilizing Foamed Concrete as a structural member is also analyzed and a
hypothetical estimation is done.

ABSTRACT
Pozzolanic material have long demonstrated their effectiveness in producing high
performance concrete. Groundnut Shell Ash (GSA) and Rice Husk Ash are also the pozzolanic
material. A pozzolanic material is siliceous or aluminous material which possessing no
cementitious properties but in presence of water, react with chemically with calcium hydroxide at
ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.
Due to continuous demand and increase in price of cement it is necessary to replace cement
with another pozzolanic compound. Therefore in this project groundnut shell ash (GSA) and Rice
Husk Ash are going to be used as a partial replacement of cement. The main aim of the project is
to check the strength of concrete with the partial replacement of cement with groundnut shell ash
burnt at different temperatures (500ºC, 600ºC, 700ºC).
Rice husk and Groundnut shell are going to be burnt at different temperatures and then it
is used to partially replace cement. Then M30 grade of concrete is prepared and then fresh concrete
tests will be performed. After this casting and curing of concrete is done for 28 days. Hardened
concrete tests will be carried out on the 7, 14 and 28th day. Finally the results will be compared
with the performance of conventional concrete.

ABSTRACT
Plain Concrete has a major deficiency of low tensile strength. The tensile strength of
concrete is very low because normally concrete contains numerous micro cracks. This deficiency
has lead to considerable research for improving the tensile strength of concrete. This paper
introduces an innovative reinforced concrete filled steel tube beams for improved flexural
behaviour and tensile strength of steel and concrete composite structures. The strength and
ductility of the core concrete are the important factors that influence the bearing capacity of
concrete – filled steel tube structures.
The study is aimed at the effect of basalt fibre on the flexural behaviour of Concrete Filled
Mild Steel Tube Beams. Basalt fibre of 12mm length and 13µm diameter is used for the study.
The fibre is mixed with M30 grade concrete.
Conventional concrete is tested for its compressive strength, and split tensile strength using
9 cubes, and 9 cylinders respectively at the age of 3,14 and 28 days. Basalt Fibre Reinforced
Concrete is also tested for the above properties.
Basalt Fibre Reinforced Concrete in – filled rectangular mild steel tube beams of sizes
2”x4” and 5.5”x4” and conventional size concrete beams with and without fibre reinforced are
tested for the flexural behaviour under four – point load test and the comparative values are
recorded and analyzed.

ABSTRACT
Premature failure of reinforcement concrete structures occurs primarily due to early

corrosion of steel reinforcement. The important developments and concrete durability reduces with
the problem of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. The major cause of deterioration is
the corrosion of the steel reinforcement, that can lead to structural problems. By utilizing our
knowledge on corrosion of steel reinforcement, concrete structures could be made more durable.
The project is aimed at preventing corrosion in RC slabs by coating silicon tombac to the steel
rods. Nylon fiber is induced in concrete to attain strength for the concrete. In this work an attempt
is planned to study the effects of coating material between the conventional and fibers in concrete
was compared with that of uncoated material between the conventional and fiber in concrete
rebar’s. In order to study the corrosion of rebar’s in a short term time the corrosion process is
accelerated by impressing a direct current, the corrosion process is monitored continuously. The
methods used to induce the corrosion is Accelerated corrosion test and Half-cell measurement.
The experimental result of corrosion of RC slabs under coated and uncoated reinforcement with
fiber concrete and the parameters like accelerated corrosion, half-cell potential reading results are
presented.
Key words - Nylon fiber, Silicon tombac coating, Corrosion test.

ABSTRACT
Sun dried or unburnt brick is one of the oldest building materials that has been used for
more than 10000 years to build houses, Mosques, Churches, Palaces and Cities. This process is
very simple with zero maintenance cost, local availability, affordability and has a good thermal
and acoustics insulation. Normally unburnt brick has lower strength and cause cracks during
drying process when compared to conventional bricks .The main aim of this study is to control the
pollution and to increase the strength so, straw and rice husk ash has been used as an additive
material. By usage of straw the shrinkage cracks can be reduced and strength can be achieved by
incorporating rice husk ash. The various proportion involved are 95%,90% and 80% of clay with
5%, 10% and 20% of RHA. Then 98% of clay with 2% of straw. The higher compressive strength
had attained at 98% of clay with 2% of straw with less weight and high durability.
Keywords - Unburnt brick, clay, rice husk ash, straw, compressive strength.

ABSTRACT
The construction revolution for the past twenty years had experienced a decline in
productivity when compared to other industrial revolution. To fight against this circumstance, lean
principles have been introduced in the field of construction. Lean construction is a new
construction management philosophy which caused a revolution in the manufacturing planning,
supply and assembly. This method was evolved from lean manufacturing principles to reduce the
production of waste. The goal of our project is to apply the lean techniques in small scale
construction projects such as residential buildings. This project deals with the various lean tools
which includes Last planner system, Increased visualization, Total Quality management, 5S
process and Just in time. These tools helps us to improve the short term scheduling effort and
communication. The essence of lean construction is increased by the elimination of nonvalue
adding activities from the construction.

ABSTRACT
Brick plays a vital role in the field of construction, signifying the need to study the behavior
of brick in different condition and composition. During the manufacturing of bricks CO2 emission
is more and exploitation of clay soil is more. For this reason, we can reduce the clay content and
replaced by waste by product. In this paper we used the ball clay, fly ash and jaggery. We use ball
clay as the replacement of clay and jaggery dissolved water. Jaggery used to increases the
compressive strength of brick and ball clay contain high silica content. It is reduced the water
absorption in brick and increases the workability of the brick. Here we find the fired strength of
the bricks using ball clay, fly ash and jaggery. We use different proportions of materials. The brick
specimen of size 230mm x 110mm x 85mm were cast for different mix percentage of Fly ash (20%
to 50%), Ball clay (10% to 25%), clay (25%to 70%) and Jaggery (60%). Compressive strength
was determined for different proportions. Various test of brick such as compressive strength test,
water absorption test, efflorescence test, shape and size test, hardness test and soundness test.

ABSTRACT
E- Waste is currently considered as one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world,
with an estimated growth rate of 3- 5% per year. Solid waste management is one of the major
environment concerns in the world. With the scarcity of space for land filling and its ever-
increasing cost, waste utilization has become an attractive alternative for e- waste disposal. In this
paper, an experimental investigation has been done to determine the compressive strength, flexural
strength, load and deflectionof concrete specimens by using E-Waste as a partial replacement for
coarse aggregate. Partial replacement of E-waste has been done at 30%, 35%, and 40% for coarse
aggregate. The concrete cubes of size 150x150x150 and beams of 700x150x150 mm size were
cast and tested at 28 days. Water cement ratio of 0.45 has been used. The compressive strength of
partially replaced E-waste concrete was found to increase by 10% and flexural strength by 18%
when compared to conventional concrete.

ABSTRACT
For the past few decades, the construction field has been moving towards the usage of steel-
concrete composite structural elements in most of its construction. Various research works are
carried out to increase the structural aspects of such composite construction. Shear connector
between concrete and steel elements in composite construction plays an important role in
developing the composite action by ensuring proper shear transfer between the steel profile and
the concrete element. The connection between the steel and concrete sections are mostly done
using welding, given the durability and strength of welding. For the current study, the shear
connectors, connecting the concrete slabs and steel beam, are welded to the flanges of the beam.
Given the flexible nature of the shear connectors, they can be available in various shapes and sizes.
The performance of each connector was evaluated and compared. The main comparison between
the specimens were carried out by comparing the load slip behaviour of the specimens.
Keywords - Shear connector, Composite action, Channel connector, Welded connection, Load

ABSTRACT
Slurry infiltrated fibre reinforced concrete (SIFCON) is recently developed construction
material. It can be rightly thought as pre placed fibre concrete, analogous to pre placed aggregate
concrete. In fibre reinforced concrete (FRC), the fibres are mixed along with the other ingredients
maximum of two percent volume but the placement of steel fibres in a form or mould is the initial
step in the preparation of SIFCON could be considered as a special type of fibre concrete with
high fibre content up to 20 percent of volume. The matrix consists of cement slurry of flowing
cement mortar. This material has been used for repair of pre-stressed concrete beams, security
vaults, bridge deck rehabilitation, pavement rehabilitation, refractory application, subjected to
blast loading etc. Because of its high strengths, excellent energy absorption, ample stiffness and
many other good properties, pre-cast SIFCON slabs will have a wide range of structural
engineering applications where high energy elements are required. This study's main objective is
to find out the mechanical properties of SIFCON for various types of volume fraction of micro
steel fibres. The aim of present investigation is to study the flexural and direct tensile behaviour
of Slurry Infiltrated Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SIFCON). The matrix in SIFCON has no coarse
aggregates, but a high cementitious content. If percentage of steel fibres in cement matrix could
be increased, one could get a material with very high strength properties which can be called as
SIFCON. The percentage of micro steel fibers by volume used is 4%, 6% and 8%.The fibres are
crimped type of 0.5 mm diameter with an Aspect ratio 25. Proportions of cement and sand used
SIFCON are 1:1 by weight. Water cement ratio taken 0.35. Percentage of silica fume taken 10%
by weight of cement. Percentage of super plasticizers taken 0.8% by weight of cement. An another
type is done by replacing cement by using polymer. The type of polymer used is Poly ester.
Proportions of polymer, fly ash and sand used in SIFCON are 1:1:4.
Key Words - SIFCON, Cement,Polymer, Micro steel fiber, Tensile strength, Flexural strength.

ABSTRACT
Although the knowledge in structural engineering has advanced enormously in last

decades, structure collapses still occur with significant frequency. The significance of Load
bearing capacity of beam and slab is its high-quality mortar and steel reinforcement. However
when subjected to seismic or any other loading of high intensity will behave as brittle structural
elements. Why steel is used as a reinforcement material in concrete? Just because concrete is weak
in tension, steel is being used as a material of reinforcement. In order to improve their lateral
resistance and ductile behavior, beam and slab are reinforced with steel. But the continuous use of
steel will create scarcity of steel in the next 20 years. Over the years the introduction of sustainable
development to overcome the issues of steel depletion has gained increased attention. The main
objective of this project is to address the potential use of Geogrid as a material for reinforcement
in lightweight concrete for construction of high intensity load resisting beam and slab. Geogrids
are now commonly used to reinforce soil for pavement construction in US and other countries.
Former test results prove that geogrids are considerably strong in tension, hence its replacement
by steel will further account to the improvement in ductile nature of walls which is the main
property required for any civil structure. Thus by reducing the susceptibility of the structure to
these unforeseen events is a key aspect in increasing the safety of buildings.
Key words - Advancement in structures-Geogrid as replacement for steel- Slab-Beam-Improved

load bearing structures-Aerated concrete-Highly economical-Eco-friendly-Increase in safety.

ABSTRACT
Million tons of waste glass (WG) is being generated annually all over the world due to
urbanization and industrialization where most of the waste glass (WG) end up in landfill while
only small fraction can be recycled because of the high cost of cleaning and colour sorting. Once
the glass becomes a waste it is disposed as landfills, which is unsustainable to the environment.
Recent studies have shown that the waste glass (WG) can be effectively used in concrete either as
aggregate or as cement replacement. Glass is principally composed of containing relatively large
quantities of silicon and calcium. This experimental study focusing to partially replacing the coarse
aggregate by the waste glass (WG). Coarse aggregates were replaced by waste glass (WG) in the
ratio of 5%, 10% and 15% in M30 grade of concrete. The compressive strength, splitting tensile
strength, and flexural strength of concrete are determined at the ages of 7days, 14 days and 28
days. The results concluded that using waste glass (WG) as partial replacement of coarse
aggregates up to 10% gives good results as compared to the conventional concrete. Use of waste
glass (WG) as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in concrete could be an important step
toward development of sustainable and economical in construction industries.
Key words - Waste Glass (WG), Recycle, Coarse Aggregate (CA), Compressive strength, Split

ABSTRACT
Increase in the demand of conventional construction materials and the need for providing
a sustainable growth in the construction field has prompted the engineers to opt for 'alternative
materials' feasible for use in construction. As we know that concrete is the main construction
material across the world and mostly used in all types of civil engineering works. Since aggregate
represents about 70-80% of concrete components so it will be beneficial to recycle the aggregate
for construction works and also to solve the environmental problems. When structures made of
concrete are demolished or renovated, concrete recycling is an increasingly common method of
utilizing the coarse aggregate and to minimize construction costs. Similarly, the cement industry
is one of the primary producers of carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas), which affects the environment
badly. Nowadays various research works are being carried out on cement replacement. Rice Husk
Ash (RHA) is an agricultural based pozzolanic material, generated by rice mills in huge quantities.
The rice husk ash (RHA) contains nearly about 85 % to 90 % amorphous silica. With the partial
replacement of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) instead of cement in concrete, we can improve the properties
of concrete. This experimental investigation is to study the strength properties of concrete with
partial replacement of cement by Rice husk ash in the proportion of 20% and partial replacement
of coarse aggregate by Recycled Aggregate (RA) in proportion of 5%, 10% and 15% respectively.
The partial replacement of cement by Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and coarse aggregate by Recycled
Aggregate (RA) gives good strength, which can conserve energy for concrete production and
decrease the emission of green-house gases (CO2) in larger extent, as well it is a solution to the
ever increasing waste disposal problems.
Key words - Recycle Aggregate (RA), Rice Husk Ash (RHA), CO2 Emission, Greenhouse gas,
Solution to waste disposal, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Flexural strength.

ABSTRACT
The environment problems are very common in India due to generation of industrial
by-products. Due to industrialization enormous by-products are produced and to utilize
these by-products is the main challenge faced in India. Iron slag, sponge iron, iron ore fines are
the industrial by-product from the iron and steel making industries. In this paper, the
compressive strength and flexural strength of the various materials obtained from iron
industrial waste was studied. The results confirm that the use of iron slag overcome the pollution
problems in the environment. Some of the major drawbacks are cracking and seepage. Cracks
form an open pathway to the reinforcement and can lead to durability problems like corrosion of
the steel bars. These cracks should be repaired because they can reduce the self-life of the
Structure. The application of synthetic chemicals currently used for concrete repair is a source of
environmental concern, Therefore the use of a biological repair technique is investigated in this
study using microbes. The results shows that the iron slag added to the concrete had greater
strength than the plain concrete.

ABSTRACT
The conventional type of bitumen is widely used in road paving and their viscoelastic
properties are dependent on their chemical composition. At higher temperature bitumen behaves
like a viscoelastic liquid and at low temperature it acts like a brittle viscoelastic material prone to
cracking even at moderate loads. Moreover, at low temperatures bitumen can stay at non-
equilibrium thermodynamic state for extended periods of time. This is the effect of its internal
structure. Such a complex behavior creates problems in engineering applications of asphalt binder
in paving mixes.
Modification of base asphalt is required to improve the material’s performances such as

adhesion, temperature sensitivity, friction properties, oxidation resistance, aging resistance and
durability. The pavement with Polymer Modified Asphalt (PMA) exhibits higher resistance to
rutting and thermal cracking, lower fatigue damage, stripping, aging and temperature
susceptibility. Therefore, asphalt modification with nanotechnology has been attempted to
overcome, or at least delay the above described problems. The Nano powders consist of particles
of a few tens to a few hundreds of nanometers in size. Due to the large surface area to volume
ratio, these materials present new enhanced properties when compared to their bulk properties.
In this study, Nano silica has been used as a modifier with VG 30 bitumen. Nano silica is
a material with a vast surface area, robust adsorption, good dispersion, high chemical purity and
excellent stability. Nano silica is a reputable modifier in inhibiting oxidizing reactions in the
bitumen binder which is having chemical reactions and physical dispersion with the base bitumen.

ash as a cementing material in concrete. As oyster shells are cheaper in cost and is available in
larger quantities, this could be convincingly used as a partial replacement with cement. This project
describes the feasibility of using oyster shell powder and ash which is obtained as waste from the
marine coast. The main aim is to study the strength characteristics of concretes with these
admixtures. The partial replacement of oyster shell powder and ash results in the increase of
compressive strength than the standard mix. Hence a comparative study is made on the
compressive strength, Tensile Strength and Flexural behavior of oyster shell powder and ash in
concrete with the conventional concrete.

ABSTRACT
Now a day the world is witnessing the construction of very challenging and difficult
structures, concrete being the most important and widely used structural material. The main
ingredient in the conventional concrete is Portland cement. The amount of cement production
emits approximately equal amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cement production is
consuming significant amount of natural resources. To overcome the above ill effects, the advent
of newer material and construction techniques and in this drive, admixture has taken newer things
with various ingredients has become a necessity. The addition of cementitious materials with OPC
is the basic concept of ternary blended concrete. Ternary blended concrete marks the inclusion of
two different pozzolanic materials to the concrete with cement acting as the primary binding
material. So the main objective of the project is to produce partial replacement of the cement using
supplementary cementitious materials. This project also aims to provide enhanced strength which
is aided by using basalt fibers. The scope of project is to produce a ternary blended concrete mix
and test it for various mechanical and structural behaviors. Using results obtained from the test
conducted on ternary blended concrete, it is compared with the results obtained from the test
conducted on conventional concrete mix. Also the flexural strength of reinforced beams of ternary
blended and conventional concrete are tested and studied. The methodology of the project involves
collection of the materials like cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, supplementary
cementitious materials (diatomite and waste marble powder). The individual raw materials are
tested. The mix design for M30 grade of concrete is calculated and quantity of materials needed is
estimated. Then the concrete mix is prepared and test on fresh concrete like slump cone, vee bee
consistometer test, flow test etc. are conducted. Then the concrete is cast into cubes, cylinders and
prism and cured for 28 days. After 28 days test on hardened concrete like compression test, split
tensile test and flexural test are conducted. Four design mixes namely conventional concrete,
conventional concrete with fibres, ternary blended concrete and ternary blended concrete with
fibres are prepared and each undergoes test for fresh and hardened concrete. Similarly reinforced
beams for each mix design is casted and is subjected to flexural test and its structural behaviour is
studied. Based on the test results, comparison is done between conventional concrete and sternary
blended concrete based upon the structural and mechanical properties. This result helps us to
understand the behavior of ternary blended concrete and its advantages over conventional concrete.
Keywords - Cementitious materials, basalt fibers, flexural strength, diatomite and marble

ABSTRACT
The main aim of this project is to develop a concrete pavement by replacing the coarse aggregate
by light weight expanded clay aggregate. The damage caused is less significant and therefore the
maintenance cost is also reduced. In order to understand the effect of light weight aggregate in
concrete, conventional concrete of strength 30Mpa is to be designed. Then the natural coarse
aggregates were replaced by clay aggregates and the mix is redesigned to meet the desired strength
requirement. As the density of the concrete tends to be lowered, the strength of the concrete may
also tend to decrease. Hence suitable chemical and mineral admixture to be incorporated in
addition to significant water reduction to meet the strength requirement.

ABSTRACT
Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a flowing concrete mixture that is able to consolidate
under its own weight, without the need for vibration. The highly fluid nature of SCC makes it ideal
for placing in difficult conditions and in sections with congested reinforcement.
Mixture proportions for SCC differ from those of ordinary concrete, in that the former has
more powder content and less coarse aggregate. Supplementary cementitious materials such as fly
ash, silica fume and blast furnace slag, pond ash are normally used as powders to enhance the
technology of SCC.
In addition, SCC also incorporates chemical admixtures, such as HRWR (High Range
Water Reducer), and VMA (Viscosity Modifying Agent). Large amount of fly ash and pond ash
is being generated in India annually and hence there is a strong need to use this byproduct from
thermal power stations, in large proportions in concrete which is also makes the concrete as cost
effective. A SCC mix was arrived based on available EFNAARC guide lines and using various
mix combinations. An experimental study is made on the properties of SCC incorporating fly ash
and pond ash. Slump flow test, V-funnel test, L-box test were carried out to confirm the self-
compact ability of concrete. Compressive strength test, split tensile test, flexural strength test,
young’s modulus test were carried out on SCC. This experimental investigation studies the
potential of using Pond ash from Thermal Power Plant, as a part replacement with sand in plaster
mortar. Workability of mortar mix is increased due to addition of pond ash, which will result in
the reduced w/c ratio. Change in the volume of hardened mortar is very less due to addition of
pond ash, which results less occurrence of surface cracks.

DIFFERENT STIFFENER POSITIONS
R.EMILREYAN
EASWARI ENGINEERING COLLEGE,CHENNAI
ABSTRACT
Economy, ease and speed of construction are the main factors for using steel as a building material.
In this paper conventional hot rolled steel I-beam sections are considered as the main flexural
member of industrial buildings. The main goal is to increase the load carrying capacity of the beam
with inverted W shape stiffener condition at centre. The initiative was to identify the maximum
load behaviour and deflection of steel beams with stiffener in the web. The performance of such
beams has been considered only for vertical loads. Hot rolled steel beam of ISMB 100 with
stiffener were tested to failure. The beams were simply supported at the ends and subjected to a 2
equal concentrated load applied at one third of span from both ends. The deflection at centre of
beam and various failure patterns are studied. All the beams were analyzed by the finite element
method by using general finite element analysis software ANSYS and the results were compared
with those obtained experimentally. The finite element results for deformation and ultimate
strength shows good agreement with the corresponding values observed in the experiments. At
last, a comparative study was carried out using finite element method to examine that which type
of beam gives best performance during loading. The numerical results indicate that the use of hot
rolled I section with stiffener is an economical and advantageous choice.

ABSTRACT
Concrete is the most commonly used building material, the cracks in concrete affects the
durability of the structure. One such thought has leads to the development of a very special
concrete known as “Bacterial Concrete” where bacteria is induced in the mortars and concrete to
self heal the cracks and faults without taking any remedial measures in the future. This technique
is effective because bacteria is pollution free and natural. Copper slag is one of the waste materials
in the production of copper. The use of Copper Slag in concrete provides environmental as well as
economic benefits for all related industries. Here an attempt was made by using the bacteria
“Bacillus Subtilis” of 105 concentration and copper slag as partial replacement of sand and M30
grade of concrete was designed. The strength characteristics of conventional concrete, bacterial
concrete with and without copper slag such as density, compressive strength and split tensile
strength are determined. The performance of bacteria along with the copper slag has been
performed in this paper. The results of this study would lead to a better understanding of bacillus
subtilis bacteria and copper slag which can be used to optimize a concrete mixture based on design
specifications.
Keywords— Bacillus subtilis, Copper slag, compressive strength, spilt tensile strength,

ABSTRACT
Permeable Concrete (also called porous concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement)
is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that
allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing
the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge. Permeable concrete is made using large
aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows
water to pass through the concrete slab. Permeable concrete is traditionally used in parking areas,
areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses. It is an
important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact
development techniques used by builders to protect water quality. In this paper, Optimum mix
design for M30 grade is determined for obtaining maximum compressive strength and maximum
porosity. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (Mineral admixture) is used as partial replacement
for cement and for improving Greener construction techniques. Experimental methodology and
results have been discussed for the properties such as compressive strength, flexural and tensile
strength, along with permeability. Investigation was carried out at regular intervals of 3, 7 and 28
days with aggregate cement ratio of 6:1. Manufactured-sand is used instead of River sand to
counteract the scarcity and it is added in little proportion upto 7% in order to obtain maximum
porosity. Grading and proportioning of aggregates in mix also plays a vital role in strength and
durability of permeable concrete and it is discussed in this paper. Also cost estimation is done for
permeable concrete and it is relatively lower as comparing to the conventional concrete.

ABSTRACT
The main objectives of this project is to improve the resistance of concrete against
freezing and thawing effect and to increase the strength. Generally, PPC still continues to be the
most commonly used in construction field. Many studies have shown that PPC gives poor
performance in resistance to extreme climate and chemical condition. In order to avoid the freezing
and thawing effect “Air entrained agent” is used in the concrete mix, which has the properties of
high durability and high resistance to freezing and thawing effect. But the main disadvantage is,
by adding every 1% of air entrained agent the compressive strength of the concrete get decreased
5%-6%, in order to overcome this disadvantages we use “Basalt fiber” along with “Air entrained
agent". It also deals with the study of dry wet cyclic resistance of air entrained fiber reinforced
concrete

ABSTRACT
This Project deals with the effect of additions of constant proportion of steel fibres and varying
proportions of sugarcane bagasse ash to determine the strength property of concrete. When steel
fibre is added as replacement of fine aggregate in concrete it gives high mechanical strength. The
steel fiber has structural improvement and improves the characteristics of hardened concrete and
also reduces crack prorogation. Flexural strength increases in brittle material it changes as ductile.
Reduce maintenances cost. India is second largest producer of sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA). By
utilizing this waste in concrete, the environmental pollution is reduced. Because of its pozzolonic
property, SCBA is used as replacement of cement. In this project SCBA is added by 5%, 10% and
15% by weight of cement and steel fibre with constant proportion of 1.5% by weight of fine
aggregate. The material has been examined on fresh concrete tests by compaction factor test, slump
cone test, specific gravity test and consistency test as well as on hardened concrete the tests for
compressive and flexural strength. The concrete were tested at 7 and 28days of curing ages for
compressive and flexural strength.

Abstract- Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, nowadays the major research works
all over the world is development and enhancements in concrete technologies. The major development and
advancement of high performance concrete is Reactive powder concrete. Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is
a developing composite material that will allow the concrete industry to optimize material use, generate
economic benefits and build structures that are strong, durable and sensitive to environment. Reactive Powder
Concrete (RPC) is an ultra-high strength and high ductility cementitious composite with advanced
mechanical, physical and durability properties. RPC with fiber composite gives the effective bridging action
of fibers across the tensile cracks. Thus the structural made of RPC with fiber would give ample warning
before the failure, which is never expected for plain RPC. In RPC with fiber composite, the increase in flexural
strength, toughness, the degree of ductility and decrease permeability and the extent of cracking behavior.
The Microstructure enhancement of RPC is done by heat curing, which leads to the improvement of flexural
and compressive strength of RPC. The development of RPC is based on the application of some basic
principles to achieve enhanced homogeneity, very good workability, high compaction, improved
microstructure, low permeability and high ductility. RPC has an ultra-dense microstructure, giving
advantageous waterproofing and durability characteristics. Therefore, it could be a suitable choice for
industrial and nuclear waste storage facilities. This paper reviews the RPC, effect of waste materials in RPC,
effect of fibers in RPC and effects of temperature in RPC.

ABSTRACT
In the Recent trends concreting under special circumstances such as constructions in basements,
sewerage and other works gaining momentum drawing attention of Civil Engineers. In such occasions
concrete is placed under water or in contact with the earth or sand. Concrete is placed under such
difficult situations needs special care. If proper precautions are not taken the cement may be leached
or the aggregates may become segregated.
It is also sometimes necessary to place concrete under extreme weather conditions- either very
hot weather as in summer in New Delhi or in very cold weather as in Kashmir during the winter. The
present demand on buildings and Civil Engineering structures makes it to imperative for work to be
continued in extreme hot and cold weather conditions. So it is necessary to have complete knowledge
on concreting in these extreme conditions. Therefore this paper deals with concreting under such
special conditions with evaluation studies emphasized on (1) underground construction and (2) sheet
piles and bracings.

ABSTRACT
Steel Mill Scale is the one of the widely available waste material from steel industry which is available
all over the world. The waste (Steel Mill Scale) from the industry is not utilized fully. So there is a
need to using steel mill scale as raw material for the production of any other material so that the waste
can be utilized fully. In this paper, we have utilized the steel mill scale as one of the raw material for
the production of concrete. Fine aggregate is replaced with steel mill scale, up to 35% with an
increment of 5%. As the result of using steel mill scale in concrete, the strength of concrete of is
significantly increased. Thus the strength of concrete is increased at most 1.5 time of the controlled
concrete strength.

ABSTRACT
Heavy metals are the most considerable pollutants in water of which, nickel is the
major pollutant. They are released by electroplating and metal surface treatment
industries. As they are very toxic, there is a need for a cheaper and more effective
technology to remove them from water. There are various methods like adsorption,
chemical precipitation, reverse osmosis and ion exchange. Compared to the other
methods, adsorption method is more effective as it uses less energy and has less
maintenance cost. So, we are using this method in our project. Generally activated
carbon is used in the adsorption method. As the regular commercial activated carbon
is expensive, there is a need of alternative for such application. In our study, we have
used orange peel powder, neem leaf ash, coffee husk and saw dust as adsorbents as
it is easily available and are good adsorbents. We are using the batch adsorption test
and column study methods to check the efficiency of our materials in removing
nickel. Finally, the experimental data’s are verified with Langmuir and Freundlich
equations.

ABSTRACT
This paper evaluates two different cheap and eco friendly wastes for the removal of heavy
metal ions from wastewater and also compares the current methods to explore the utilization
techniques for various waste bio mass such as banana peels and pumpkin peels as adsorbents which
are abundantly and easily available in India for the elimination of heavy metals from wastewater.
In this study, the adsorption behavior of two adsorbents such as Banana peels and Pumpkin peels
with respect to Cu (II) and Zn (II) ions has been studied in order to consider its application to the
purification of metal finishing wastewater. The batch method was employed and the Effects of
process parameters such as pH, contact time, and initial metal concentration were studied. The
influence of the pH of the metal ion solutions on the uptake levels of the metal ions by the different
adsorbents used were carried out between pH 4 and pH 11. Adsorption parameters were
determined using both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, but the experimental data were better
fitted to the Freundlich equation than to Langmuir equation. The results showed that banana peels
and Pumpkin peels hold potential to remove cationic heavy metal species from industrial
wastewater in the order banana peels < Pumpkin peels.

ABSTRACT
Natural as well as anthropogenic sources of cadmium, including industrial emissions

and the application of fertilizer and sewage sludge to farm land, may lead to contamination of
water, and to increased cadmium uptake by crops and vegetables, grown for human
consumption. Cadmium when present, even at low concentrations may pose serious health as
well as environmental hazards. The use of various materials has been widely investigated as a
replacement of recent expensive methods for removing cadmium from water and wastewater.
Plant based natural materials, agricultural by products, nano materials and industrial wastes are
efficiently used as low-cost adsorbents. Until now most of the researchers have attempted to
review the literature for multiple heavy metals. In the current review, an elaborate list of
adsorbent literature has been compiled to provide information on a wide range of natural as
well as modified adsorbent materials for the removal of only Cadmium from aqueous solutions.

ABSTRACT
Without any demand of artificial resources, a multi modern method of
agriculture is introduced. It is called as “A Portable Spiral Shaped Farming For
Multiple Crops”. This method is sustainable, since 80% of the people will
transpire to urban area in the next 50 years. For this growing population, urban
areas have very less land resource to cultivate. In order to feed this population
growth, it needs a sustainable urban food requirement. In this project, an isolated
and potable spiral shaped structure is constructed to produce yield from multiple
crops such as kitchen need, plants, flowers, aesthetic plants on this and use it in
many places especially in urban areas. It consists of simple water supply system
with rain water harvesting. It gives more yields with less water consumption and
occupies less area. Different varieties of crops can be cultivated with different
types of soil, thus, soil fertility can be improved. It is easy to use and dismantle
able.

ABSTRACT
In the year 2015, the world economic forum has listed water scarcity as the
largest global risk in terms of potential impacts over the next decade. The driving
forces for the rising global demand for water are increasing population, changing
consumption pattern and climate change etc. To mitigate the water scarcity, we
have designed a cheap method of recycling greywater through one of the most
underutilized agricultural waste (corn cob). Due to its adsorption properties it
removes oils dyes detergents from greywater. Tests on physical and chemical
properties were done before and after filtration. The results were compared and
were found that COD, BOD and TDS were reduced considerably. In this project
an attempt was made to utilize this less-utilized plant part to clean one of the most
precious natural resources, water.

ABSTRACT
This dissertation explores and describes the notion of providing an “Anaerobic

batch reactor” for combined wastewater treatment including sago, textile and
municipal wastewater. Batch reactor is fabricated and seed sludge (cow dung)
was added for the start-up of the reactor. After stabilization the wastewater
sample was added in different proportions and operational parameters were
monitored (pH, COD and biogas). Since the process was carried out under
anaerobic condition there was simultaneous production of biogas. The findings
of this project is among the different proportion when the sago and textile and
municipal wastewater was mixed in ratio of 50:33:17 then the % of COD
removal was high about 98.26%. This method serves to be cost effective
because separate treatment plant is not required for treating various waste waters
and there is biogas production which serves as a valuable energy source.
