Study on Torsional Behaviour of RC Flanged Beams Strengthened with Glass FRP
Abstract: Existing structures needs repair and rehabilitation due to Environmental deterioration, increased service loads, reduced capacity due to aging, deterioration owing to poor construction materials and workmanships and conditional need for seismic agitating. FRP has been used successfully in a large number of such uses for causes like low weight, high strength and durability. Many previous research works on torsional strengthening were focused on solid rectangular RC beams with different strip …

Air Pollution: A mini review
Abstract: As per World Resources Institute (1996) World’s population is around 7.06 billion and is expected togrow 10 billion by 2030. Due to the advancement of industrial revolution the polluted gas is pumpedinto the atmosphere which leads to warming the planet earth and rise in sea level which may result inserious food shortage. The global warming resulting from the emission of greenhouse gasesespecially CO2, has become a major concern in the …

Influence of Waste Plastic Dosage on Bituminous Concrete Mix Design Properties
Abstract: Nowadays there is a lot of focus and concern regarding handling waste plastics in order to minimize pollution caused by it to the environment, human life and marine species. Hence to mitigate these problem waste plastics are currently used in the construction of flexible pavements. In the current practices, waste plastics are added to the preheated aggregate which may have a slight improvement in the volumetric property of bituminous mixtures. …
