In Pool boiling, occurs in absence bulk movement fluid. such situation, fluid remains stationery motion under natural convection. For outcomes,...

Researchers are investigating eco-friendly binders like coconut shell ash (CSA), metakaolin (MK), and calcined clay (CC) as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) in high-strength concrete (HSC). Abundantly available industrial or agricultural waste, these materials, when combined with Portland cement (PC), offer synergistic benefits. This not only improves performance but also addresses waste disposal issues, presenting a sustainable environmentally friendly solution for long-term use...

The use of rubber aggregates derived from discarded tyres in concrete is a pioneering approach to replacing natural aggregate (NA) and promoting sustainable building practices. Recycled serves the dual purpose alleviating accumulation on planet providing more alternative decreasing aggregate. Due fact that crumb (CR) decreases strength when used concrete, incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) as nanomaterial counteract decrease potential solution. Response Surface Methodology was developed...
