The strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete members is an important issue which arises worldwide. Carbon, aramid glass fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are mainly used for rehabilitation. However, its use limited on a small scale because high price, lack availability environmental impacts. solution this gives rise to the locally available natural fibers low-cost synthetic fibers. This paper presents experimental analytical results circular square columns confined with...
Cement and concrete are among the major contributors to CO2 emissions in modern society. Researchers have been investigating possibility of replacing cement with industrial waste production reduce its environmental impact. Therefore, focus this paper is on effective use wheat straw ash (WSA) together silica fume (SF) as a substitute produce high-performance sustainable concrete. Different binary ternary mixes containing WSA SF were investigated for their mechanical microstructural properties...
Marble dust is one of the hazardous byproducts marble-processing factories and requires planned disposal. Its beneficial use as a construction material will add to sustainability, most importantly, might overcome burden marble waste However, in concrete has negative impact. Therefore, this research examines various properties related utilization such ceramic clay, therefore its effects on clay bricks are investigated. The activity covers categorization powder from three different sources:...
In the marble industry, a lot of is wasted in form odd blocks various sizes and slurry consisting water micro-fine particles. The on drying converts into powder. Both powder have adverse effects environment. This research focused gainful utilization waste (WMP) by converting it valuable binding material. For this purpose, WMP clay were collected, their physical chemical properties determined. A mix was prepared burnt at temperature around 1300 oC. ground to get cement (MC). MC then used...
In this communication, we have discussed and compared the different drying processes i.e. flat plate solar collector, open sun mechanical dryer with preservative solution of Sodium Benzoate. Loquats were pretreated subject to process. Drying kinetics in terms moisture lost per hour rate, texture antioxidants retention determined before after drying. Statistical analysis data showed that process has significantly affected on loquat fruits confidence interval (α ≤ 0.05), whereas a...
Strengthening of structural members is a common practice around the world that may arise due to deterioration concrete with age or upgradation design code. This paper aims elucidate technique used for strengthening reinforced beam flexural capacity by using externally welded steel angles and bars. For this motive, three beams were strengthened external The elements attached at bottom shear reinforcement. Control samples without bars comparison purposes also prepared. All first constructed...
