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.

An Experimental Study on High Performance Concrete Using Mineral Fly Ash and GGBS with M-60 grade Concrete

This work presents about the determination of the mechanical properties (compression, split tensile and flexural tests) of the specimens (cubes, cylinders, and beams). The specimens are of M60 grade high strength concrete which includes ground granulated blast furnace slag (10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40%) and Fly ash (10 %, 20 %, 30 % and 40%) to obtain the desired strengths and properties. Finally, we used in combination of fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag in different percentages as replacement of cement and concrete was prepared. We used SP430-Sulphonated Naphthalene Polymers as a superplasticizer for better workability for high-performance concrete. Dosage for superplasticizers is same for all mix proportions. We cast concrete cubes, beams, and cylinders and are kept for curing for a period of 28days. The tests are conducted after 7, 14 and 28 days of curing period. To obtain such desired strength that cannot be obtained from conventional concrete and by the current method, a large number of trial mixes with different percentages of fly ash and different percentages of ground granulated blast furnace slag are required to select the desired combination of materials that meet the required strength.

Android Civil Administration Reporting

This system is built to connect the local public with the higher officials in the Civil Administration Office. The government faces daily challenges in an attempt to provide cooperation to all citizens who depend on the of public services. The user must register to an account and state a complaint to the authority with the generated unique ID. The user must require an Android application to register a complaint by mobile or desktop. The status of the complaint is updated only by respective authority. The user has to wait till the authority changes the status of the complaint. Complaints can be easily registered by the user and can be tracked with a unique complaint ID. The user can then view the progress of the complaint. This system will not only save the time of the complaint fillers but also lead to track their complaint and its status in a regular interval of time. Once the reply of the complaint is given, the user will get the update on his smartphone and email address as well.

To Nutritional Profile of Dietary Fibre Pizza Base and Sensory Evaluation of Develop Product

As a safety, health and nutrition become more important and the regulatory mechanism has become more stringent the nutritional quality assumes significance. There is a distinct shift from consumption of so-called junk foods to healthy foods. The role of dietary fiber in offering protection against diabetes and heart disease is well established for this reason interest has arisen in increasing fiber in the diet. Fiber offers manifold health benefits particularly to diabetics by lowering blood sugar levels, reducing insulin requirement. Improving glycemic control and lowering serum cholesterol and triglyceride values in diabetic individuals. During flate bread, different ingredients are used to ensure the development of a continuous dietary fibre network that is essential for flate bread quality. Interests in incorporating bio active ingredients such as dietary fiber (DF) and antioxidants properteis into popular foods such as flate bread have grown rapidly, due to the increased consumer health awareness. Fenugreek leaves are enriched with mineral like potassium, calcium, and iron ,vitamin c. Fenugreek leaves are rich source of soluble dietary fibre content and it is used in functional food, traditional food, Nutraceutical as well as in in physiological utilization such as anticancer, antibacterial, antiulcer, antithelminitic and anti-diabetic agent. Lotus-stem is high in dietary fibre and highly recommended for pregnant women. The present study was conducted to provide a vegetable rich source dietary fibre such as Nelumbo Nucifera ( lotus stem) or Fenugreek- leaves( Trigonella foenum -gracum) are act as helpful in natural fortified food item for making pizza base .which are converted to healthy functional food. It can be proved to be healthy dietary fibre pizza for children, Type 2 Diabetes patient or other life style diseases to keep the digestive system healthy. The dietary fibre pizza base (flatbread) is developed by taking wheat flour and different percentage of fenugreek leaves and lotus stem and are mixed up and fermented and bakery yeast and then taken (8-10 minutes in oven at 200℃ of different sample and enriched dietary fibre pizza base.Develop product was evaluated on various parameter, sensory evaluation & Nutritional analysis .sensory evaluation of prepared product was carried out using 9 pointhedonic scale out of the four . Hence Highest acceptable product was put forth for nutritional analysis & percentage of dietary fibre respective.
