A Review on Experimental Investigation of Fibre Reinforced Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: The development of new binders, as an alternative to Portland cement (PC), by alkaline activation, is a current researcher’s interest. As Concrete is the most commonly used material for construction. The worldwide production of cement has greatly increased after 1990. Production of cement results in a lot of environmental pollution as it involves the emission of CO2 gas. There are many ways to which we can reduce environmental pollution (carbon …

Analysis of Geological Structure for the Application of Geotechnical Engineering to Optimize Thermal Extraction in Geothermal Wells
Abstract: The characterization of the geological terrain for geothermal applications from the heat transfer point of view has been made. Horizontal, vertical and inclined geological layers have been analyzed. Uniform and homogeneous terrain are better candidates for low or high enthalpy geothermal applications while heterogeneous soil have a poorer performance from the thermal transfer point of view. The characterization process of soil structure and properties allows to take the appropriate decision …

Dynamic Behaviour of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge under Moving Loads
Abstract: Composite structure is a structure which is constructed using multiple dissimilar materials. The construction is called composite when two different types of materials are strongly bond together to act as a single unit. For a composite bridge deck a reinforced concrete slab is placed on the steel plate girder to form a complete structure. Use of composite structure has widely grown in the 21st century. This paper gives the brief …

Treatment of Dairy Wastewater Using Constructed Wetland
Abstract: Naturally existing wetlands have been used for dumping various types of wastewaters and have been promised to dispose of these wastewaters. As a matter of fact, in some areas, natural wetlands still serve this purpose solely and are nothing more than dumping sites. However, extensive research suggested the use of Wetlands for Treatment purposes. Understanding the dynamics of the processes in natural wetlands leads to the use of those processes …

A Study on OpenMP and Irregular Programming
Abstract: Programmers need better, more reliable techniques to build parallel programs. In the task-parallel programming paradigm, the programmer defines independent pieces of work, called tasks that may run in parallel. Geometric algorithms are wonderful examples for programming, because they are deceptively easy to do with your eyes, yet much harder to implement for a machine. The goal of parallel algorithm design is to develop parallel computational methods that run very fast …
