A Review on Old Building Environment and Indoor Microbials
Abstract: People naturally want to comprehend their surroundings. Today, developed nations spend over 90% of their populations indoors, mostly in structures and environments constructed, controlled, and planned by humans. Since individuals go from their homes to their employment, germs are continuous with and around them. Indoor microorganisms cohabit with outside soil and water bacteria. It is commonly found in animals, plants, rodents, and water tracked indoors on shoes and breathed in. …

Fresh and Hardened Properties of High Performance Concrete with Weld Slag as Fine Aggregate
Abstract: This research centers on the incorporation of welding slag, the residue remaining after the welding process, as fine aggregates in the production of high-performance concrete with a compressive strength of 70 MPa. The chemical and physical characteristics of welding slag aggregates (WSA), such as chemical compositions, specific gravity, SEM images, XRD, and EDS analysis, were investigated. Additional investigations were carried out by substituting welding slag with standard sand at varying …

Innovative Concrete Composites: Assessing Mechanical Strength with Fly Ash, Glass, and Granite Waste Incorporation
Abstract: Waste management poses a significant challenge for countries in both current and future contexts. The generation of solid waste from various industries, such as stone, glass, coal, and tires, constitutes a major issue in India, leading to significant environmental and health concerns for the surrounding population. This study addresses these challenges by exploring the utilization of waste granite and glass powder as materials to replace sand and cement, respectively, with …

Projects in Accelerated Conditions
Abstract: The work aims in identifying the causes of delay in construction projects and the acceleration techniques adopted to overcome them. Questionnaire survey with experts from industry was used for generation of data and analyzed using Relative Importance Index and Spearmen’s Rank Correlation Coefficient test. On analyses it was noticed that project complexity, labour challenges and resequencing of activities are the main barriers impacting the timeline for construction projects. Various acceleration …
