Effect of varying water temperature on concrete properties
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to determine the effects of mixing-water temperature on the compressive strength, workability and water absorption rate of concrete. Locally available materials were used. Compression tests results showed that the 7 days value of 19.52N/mm2 at 35°C was higher than the value of 9.96N/mm2 at 5°C. The 28th day results for compression test also showed similar trend. The workability of the concrete decreased as the …

A Study on Self Compacting Concrete using Portland Pozzolana Cement
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a type of highly flowable concrete that fills each and every corner of congested formwork without the need for mechanical vibration as it is placed by means of its own weight. Generally, the SCC is prepared by using Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) with mineral and chemical admixtures. Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) itself contains some amount of fly ash, thus given the motivation to prepare the SCC …

Image Segmentation
Abstract: In computer vision, image segmentation is the process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments (sets of pixels, also known as super-pixels). The goal of segmentation is to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze.[1][2] Image segmentation is typically used to locate objects and boundaries (lines, curves, etc.) in images. More precisely, image segmentation is the process of …
