Rehabilitation of Buildings for Functional Unsuitability: Need of Structural Health Monitoring IJTSRD
Repair is the process of restoring something that is now damaged, brock or deteriorated to fair condition and good quality. Rehabilitation is defined as the process of improving and returning the building or structure or ground to its previous well condition. Repair and rehabilitation is useful tool to satisfy the buildings functional requirement. Any structure […]
Adoption of Green Building Technique: Replacement of Steel by Bamboo IJTSRD
The indiscriminate infrastructural growth is leading to rapid environmental degradation. Steel, cement, synthetic polymers and metal alloys used for construction activities are energy intensive as well as cause environmental pollution during theirentire life cycle. In order to quantify the energy and CO2 savings potential by applying best available technologies like vegetable fibres including bamboo, wastes […]
Production of Eco-Friendly Bricks from Copper Mine Tailings through Geopolymerization in India IJTSRD
This paper studies the feasibility of utilizing copper mine tailings for production of eco friendly bricks based on the geopolymerization technology. The procedure for producing the bricks simply includes mixing the tailings with an alkaline solution, forming the brick by compressing the mixture within a mold under a specified pressure, and curing the brick at […]
Modelling of Circular Footing on Lateritic Soil IJTSRD
This work modelled circular footing on lateritic soil. This was done by studying the relationship between bearing capacity of circular footing and fines content of lateritic soil. Lateritic soil samples were collected and subjected to laboratory tests, including tests leading to the determination of bearing capacity (using circular footing). Bearing capacity was determined for the […]
Compressive Strength of Conventional Concrete Using E Waste IJTSRD
The Waste materials Utilization of construction industry by-products is a sustainable solution to ecological and environmental problems. Use of such waste materials makes their re utilization in cement-concrete, other construction materials, and also the cost of cement and concrete manufacturing is reduces. Other indirect benefits of e-waste include reduction in landfill cost, saving energy and […]
