Re-Characterization of Strength Properties of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures Using Non Bituminous Modifier – Candle Wax
Abstract: Improving the performance of asphalt concrete mixtures synonymous with flexible pavement has been a major concern in highway engineering. However, design of flexible pavement begins with proper material characterization to ensure that designs are appropriate. It is also pertinent to say that sometimes if not most times the properties of the individual materials that make up the pavement structure falls short of desired expectations. This has led to exploring techniques …

Properties of Bentonite Stabilised with Fluorogypsum
Abstract: This paper presents the properties of the bentonite stabilised with fluorogypsum. For this purpose, commercially available bentonite and fluorogypsum were used in this investigation. The fluorogypsum content and the curing period were varied from 0% to 10 % and 0 to 28 days respectively. Compaction tests results reveal that the maximum dry unit weight increases and optimum moisture content decreases with the increase in the fluorogypsum content to the bentonite. …

Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of RC Frame Considering SSI Effect: A Review
Abstract: It is the need of modern era to go for the safe, reliable and economic structure design with special reference to seismic response of the structure. The classical methods which are based on elastic analysis are not able to predict the structural behaviour under the seismic forces. On the other hand the Pushover Analysis (POA) gives more reliable results. The POA is a static –nonlinear analysis. In this method the …

Simulation of delay variation at uncontrolled intersections for mixed traffic conditions
Abstract: Mixed traffic is composed of different vehicle types with varying geometric and acceleration characteristics. Capacity and delay are the two parameters mainly used to measure the effectiveness of uncontrolled intersections. The variation in the lengths and widths of a vehicle type also has an effect on the capacity and delay. Three intersections and three vehicle types are considered for the study. Also, different vehicle compositions scenarios (C1 to C11) were …

Treatment of Dyeing Waste Water by Using Garlic Extract as a Natural Coagulant
Abstract: Coagulation is the process of removal of very fine particles by forming bigger flocs in the water. But this process is not much efficient in waste water treatment as in the treatment of drinking water. This is because of adding chemical coagulant for the treatment of waste water. Use of chemicals in treatment of dyeing waste water causes formation of non-biodegradable sludge. To avoid this we made an attempt in …
