Influence of GGBFS on the Mechanical Properties of the Water Cured Fly Ash Aggregate-Based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: Abstract Conventional concrete consists of cement, sand as fine aggregate and gravel, limestone or granite in various sizes and shapes as coarse aggregate including with water. In the present work, the feasibility of using industrial inorganic polymeric residues wastes as a total (100%) replacement to the traditionally used normal conventional concrete materials is examined in the preparation of the geopolymer concrete (GPC). In this GPC, the cement is totally replaced …

An overview on the rheology of recycled aggregate concrete with the influence of chemical admixtures
Abstract: : Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material because of its property to be moulded into any kind of structure and shape due to its fluidity at early stages. The fresh properties of concrete can be characterized by its flow behaviour. Rheology is the scientific description of flow properties. Super-plasticizers and air-entrainers are some of the most used chemical admixtures that affect the rheological parameters of fresh …

Influence of Compaction Technique on Shear Strength of Modified Subgrade Soil
Abstract: The subgrade soil is considered as the foundation for the roadway structure, it is responsible to provide the required stability for the overlaying pavement layers and to limit the deformation due to traffic load repetitions by furnishing homogeneous stress distribution. For poor soil condition, grid reinforcement or Asphalt stabilization techniques are usually implemented to control the deformation and improve shear strength of poor granular subgrade soil. In this work, the …

Influence of Concentration Variation of Chemical Pre Treatments on Tensile Properties of Coir Fibre Reinforced Composites
Abstract: Composite material consisting randomly oriented coir fibres and epoxy resin have been studied. This study tends to analyze the tensile properties of coir fibre (10mm length) reinforced with epoxy resin by treating with Na0H and KMn04 of different concentrations. Fibers are bonded together with epoxy resin by hand layup process and cured at room temperature for 24 hours to form composite. Different tensile properties of composite were investigated in accordance …

Investigation on the influence of calcium Fluoride and Barium Fluoride on cutting performance during hard turning with minimal fluid application
Abstract: Recently the concept of minimal fluid application has gained attention in metal cutting industry as it has the ability to resemble pure dry turning and at the same time free from all the problems related to large scale use of cutting fluid as in conventional wet turning. Since a very small quantity of cutting fluid is doing cooling and lubrication in minimal fluid application, there must be some performance enhancers …

The Influence of Hexanol and Methyl Acetate as Oxygenated Additives with Diesel Fuel in a Diesel Engine Generator
Abstract: Diesel engines play a vital role in all the major sectors (such as transportation and industrial) due to their high efficiency, durability, reliability and low operating cost. At the same time, they are considered as one of the biggest contributors of environmental pollution by releasing enormous amount of toxic gases to atmosphere (such as NOx, HC, CO2 and PM). Emissions from transport, especially motor vehicles, increase the level of gases …
