Fracture and Failure of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) – A Review
Abstract: In the world, many countries put into effect the renewal plans and/or the laws and/or the regulations for recent engineering structures which have reached their lifetime, are risk prone and have been built lacking quality engineering, or without considering urban planning. Hence, many structures are demolished and this situation increases the amount of construction and demolition waste (C & DW). Also, resource consumptions are rapidly increased due to excessive constructional …

Logarithmic Companding using Firefly Algorithm for PAPR Reduction in OFDM System
Abstract: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a digital transmission method developed to meet the increasing demand for higher data rates in communications which can be used in both wired and wireless environments. However OFDM is handicapped with a major problem of high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which gives rise to non-linear distortion, inter-symbol interference and out-of-band radiation. Several PAPR reduction techniques have been devised over the last few decades in …
