Application of Fly Ash and Lime as Partial Replacement of Cement in ConcreteBy Ashwani Kumar, Surendra Roy
Abstract: Concrete as a construction material plays a significant role in infrastructures development in the world. The main constituents of concrete are cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. Production of cement has been emitting a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Hence causing environmental pollution. Amount of fly ash generation has been increasing day by day which has also been damaging the environment in the form air, water …

A Comparative Study on Contaminated and Uncontaminated Soils Surrounding the Municipal Wastes Disposal SiteBy Krishna Komar Singh, Surendra Roy
Abstract: Increase in population and industrialization has been creating space problems in and around the cities for habitation. In addition, the cities have been facing disposal problems of solid and liquid wastes generated from industrial and residential areas. Disposal of municipal solid wastes without planned way in any city has been causing air, water and soil pollution in the vicinity of dump site. The wastes disposal can alter the engineering properties …

Influence of Rock Properties on Sound LevelBy Surendra Roy
Abstract: Rocks used as building materials or for some other purposes are tested for their physico-mechanical properties to assess their suitability. For this, rock boulders excavated from the quarries are cut, shaped and crushed in the laboratory. While carrying out these processes, it generates sound. In this study, rock boulders received from the industries were cut in the form of cylindrical shape to determine its compressive strength, density and Young’s modulus.For …

Effects of Reinforcing Elements in Soil ReinforcementBy Surendra Roy
Abstract: The inclusion of reinforcing elements in a soil mass improves its geotechnical properties. The principle behind soil reinforcement is that the reinforcing elements absorb the tensile load and shear stress within the reinforced structures and hence prevent the shear failure and settlement. The friction developed between the interface of soil and reinforcing element improves the properties of soil. Different types of natural and synthetic fibers have been used in various …

Soil Reinforcement Using Waste Plastic MaterialsBy Shashank, Shitanshu Rai, Surendra Roy
Abstract: Soil reinforcement is a ground improvement techniques used in different civil engineering structures like earth retaining structures, embankment, foundations, road construction, etc.In this study, an attempt was made to collect the soil samples in such a way that it has different plasticity index. Accordingly, samples from surrounding areas of the Kanpur were collected and analyzed for their plasticity index. It was observed that three locations such as PSIT Campus, Naramau …

Prediction of Shear Strength Parameters Using Multiple Regression AnalysisBy Surendra Roy, Ashish Kumar Prajapati, Amit Kumar Maurya
Abstract: Shear strength is a principal engineering property of soil. It controls the stability of a soil mass under structural loads and is used in design of foundation. In this study, a survey was carried out in and around the Bhauti region of Kanpur district, Uttar Pradesh and accordingly nine sampling locations was identified. All the samples were collected from a depth of 50 cm and analyzed for different geotechnical properties …
