Fabrication and analysis of Jute/Hemp reinforced fiber

There is a huge need for new materials in all fields of engineering, this invites the development of new materials which suits the need. Utilization of biodegradable materials i.e. natural fibers for various applications to preserve the environment from synthetic fibers invites the development of natural fiber reinforced polyester composites. In a country like India which is producing an enormous amount of agricultural solid waste (in the form of leaf, fruits, stems etc.) there is lack of marketing for the above said wastes, if this can be improved the farmers may get benefited. Natural fiber reinforced composites are preferred than conventional materials because of their advantages like low density, light weight, high strength to weight ratio, low cost, high toughness, and biodegradability. The present investigation deals with the preparation of jute, Hemp fiber and jute- Hemp fiber (Hybrid) reinforced polyester composite and to determine the tensile modulus with an increase in percentage weight fraction of the fiber and further the experimental results will be validated through ANSYS software.

An Experimental Investigation on Precast Cement Concrete Paver Blocks Using Fly Ash

The rapid development of housing and infrastructure from last one decade continuously takes place in India. Along with that naturally, the product required to overcome this development produce in mass quantities like Pavement blocks, which are known as industrial products of precast made up by concrete, having various shapes and sizes utilizes in huge quantity in housing and infrastructure construction. The conventional materials to manufacturing these blocks utilize in large quantity, which may create an impact on natural recourses. To overcome this impact we can use different materials such as, Sisal fiber, waste glass, fly ash etc. which helps to save natural recourses and achieve economy so that buyers and sellers of this type of materials can also get benefited. The present experimental research investigation examines the effect of fly ash on the partial replacement of cement. Experiment is done on M33, M43 and M53 mix, with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% & 25% partial replacement of cement. After getting an optimum percentage of all these, further experimental work is intended for the use of all these three in a single paving block. The replaced ingredients in this research are fly ash. Experimentation is carried out to find the workability test, water absorption test, compressive strength and flexural strength of the concrete paving blocks. Further, these studies compare an economical aspect of the conventional product and newly manufactured product.

Moringa Oliefera: The Miracle Tree

Moringa oleifera (family Moringaceae) is the only genus which is cultivated most widely. Moringa is commonly known as drumstick tree, horseradish tree, benzoil tree etc. Moringa oleifera is very resistant, fast growing and requires very less amount of water to grow, i.e. it can grow also in drought conditions. Drumstick tree is a native of southern foothills of the Himalayas in north-west India, and it is widely cultivated in India in tropical and subtropical regions were the seed pods are used as a part of the diet. Moringa is used since the ancient times in India and is also a native from India. Moringa is having very high nutritional values with around 40 antioxidants and is rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K. Not only vitamins but the plant is also very rich in mineral contents and contains Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn and Zn. The properties and contents of Moringa can cure a number of deficiencies and diseases. The consumption of moringa can control blood pressure, eyesight, prepare mental alertness and bone strength. Moringa is also used as a fodder for livestock. Therefore, this paper is enlightening the use of Moninga as a rich source of food for the nutritional enrichment.

A Review on Precast Cement Concrete Paver Blocks Using Fly Ash

Paver block is used in various applications like in street road and other construction places. Portland cement generates large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) which is responsible for global warming hence it is a greenhouse gas. Solid unreinforced pre-cast cement concrete paver blocks is a versatile, aesthetically attractive, functional, cost-effective and requires little or no maintenance if correctly manufactured and lay. Paver blocks can be used for different traffic categories. There are various types of Industrial Waste available in local markets, and certain of it can be used in the construction industry for utilization of waste material and eco-friendly condition. Various paper and research works based on fine aggregate (sand) replaced by various percentages of other industrial waste material and cement replaced by various percentage of other slurry base material and found that increased in strength, durability, and reduction in cost and utilization of waste material. Various waste materials are used like fly ash, rise husk ash, paper sluge, various fibers used for improving the strength of paver block.

A Review on High Performance Concrete Using Mineral Fly Ash and GGBS with M-60 Grade Concrete

The use of supplementary cementitious materials is well accepted because of the several improvements possible in the concrete mix, for the overall economy. The present work is a support to use the waste product from steel industry is helpful in cement which also helps to reduce the carbon footprint. In recent years Blast Furnace Slag when replaced with cement has emerged as a major alternative to conventional concrete and has rapidly gained the concrete industry's attention due to its cement savings, energy savings, cost savings, socio-economic and environmental benefits. The present study reviews the results of an experimental study, conducted by various authors to evaluate the strengths and strength efficiency factors of hardened concrete, by partially replacing the cement by various percentages of ground granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash. The optimum GGBS and fly ash replacement as the cementitious material is characterized by high compressive strength, low heat of hydration, resistance to chemical attack, better workability, good durability and cost-effective.

Reservoir Operation Model for Hyderabad Water Supply System

The reservoir operation is a challenging task for achieving the design performance of any reservoir. Though many reservoir operation modeling techniques are available, still the reservoir managers are adopting the conventional procedures. Hyderabad water supply system is a complex system and having multiple sources of reservoirs to supply drinking water to cater Hyderabad city and among one of them is Himayathsagar reservoir. In this paper, an attempt was made to evolve the reservoir operation strategy by developing models based on crisp concepts and fuzzy logic concepts. The initial simulation was made to understand historical storages and release curves using the inflows and evaporation from observed data. A model has been developed based on crisp concepts and later to evolve a release policy using fuzzy logic concepts. The model results were obtained. Comparisons of historic, crisp and fuzzy results were presented to demonstrate the improvement, relevance, and applicability of the developed methodology.
