Economical Study of Rigid Pavement by Using the Used Foundry Sand
Indian road network of almost 3.5 million km comprising both paved and unpaved surfaces is the world’s second largest. Indian roads are presently constructed with not the right Continue reading
Comparison of Home-Composting and Large-scale Composting for Organic Waste Management in Québec, Canada
The management of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste has become a major issue lately in the province of Québec, Canada. Most of it is landfilled today, which increases the Continue reading
A Study on Foundry Sand: Opportunities for Sustainable and Economical Concrete
Foundries for the metal-casting industry generate by-products such as used foundry sand. Metal foundries use large amounts of the metal casting process. Foundries successfully recycle and reuse Continue reading
Evaluation of the Efficiency of Different Ground Improvement Techniques
There are two primary reasons why developments continue in areas with poor subgrade soil conditions. The first is the lack of space and increased pressure to develop within a Continue reading
Effect of Microfibrillar Cellulose on Concrete Equivalent Mortar Fresh and Hardened Properties
A pilot project in 2010, conducted at CBI, showed the capacity for pulp, micro fibrilars from the forest industry to act as Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA) in concrete. This project was, however, too limited to find Continue reading
Flyash – Building Blocks for the Future
At this time India is witnessing a new phase in development. with rapid economic growth and high rate of urbanisation. Construction provides the direct means for the development, expansion, improvement and maintenance of Continue reading
Energy Storage Systems: An Approach Involving the Concept of Exergy
This project deals with thermal energy storage systems (TES), which are devices used to store and re-lease thermal energy with a time delay. In the first part of the study, the state-of-art of the TES systems is discussed, grouping the different technologies on the basis of Continue reading
Behavior and Performance of High Performance Concrete for Pavements
Under TE 30, High Performance Concrete Pavement program, several states are undertaking a variety of innovative research in high performance concrete pavement materials and innovative Continue reading
Characterization of the Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete
In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance concretes. The next generation of concrete, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), exhibits exceptional strength and durability characteristics that make it well suited for Continue reading
Concrete Shrinkage Prediction using Maturity and Activation Energy
Shrinkage is a complex material response that often affects concrete in an adverse manner. The characteristics of the natural environment in which concrete is placed and the rate of strength development have been used to model the Continue reading
