Evolution Properties of Paver Blocks Using Waste Foundry Sand in Concrete
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 laid. Paver blocks can be used for different traffic categories i.e. Non traffic, Light traffic, Medium traffic, Heavy traffic and Very heavy traffic. In present study work paver blocks […]
Experimental Study of Maintenance and Treatment of R.C.C. Building by Fiber Reinforced Plastic
Fiber Reinforced Polymer FRP as an external reinforcement is used extensively to deal with the strength requirements related to flexure and shear in structural systems. But the strengthening of members subjected to torsion is explored only recently. Torsion failure is an undesirable brittle form of failure which should be avoided specially in the earthquake prone […]
Performance Evolution of Modified Bituminous Concrete Mix Using Waste Plastic
Generally a bituminous mixture is a mixture of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, filler and binder. A Hot Mix Asphalt is a bituminous mixture where all constituents are mixed, placed and compacted at high temperature. HMA can be Dense Graded mixes DGM known as Bituminous Concrete BC . Bituminous mix is generally used as a surface […]
Comparison of Strength Characteristics of Concrete by using Fly Ash and Rice Husk Ash
A state of extreme landfill areas redevelopment program in many parts of the country has cause to bring the use of recycled aggregate. The low quality of recycled aggregate has limited its use to low grade applications such as roadwork sub base and pavements, while its adoption for higher grade concrete is rare because of […]
Strengthening of High Strength Concrete Beam Column Joints using FRP
The entire world built up space is being made with concrete being the basic construction material. The advancement in the construction technique has raised the height of buildings as compared to the past. Although the design of structures follows the safety and serviceability rules according to the specialized codes formulated by different countries as per […]
