Combined Effect of Marble Dust and Steel Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of High Strength Concretes

Present day construction cost is at its height with using basic materials like cement, coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. Leaving waste materials to nature specifically can bring about environmental issues. Therefore, reuse of waste materials has been emphasized. Industries produce lots of waste materials, which might be helpful in partial replacement of basic materials due to their composition and it can be proved economical.

The concrete industry is always searching for supplementary material with the target of decreasing the solid waste disposal issue. As we know concrete is weak in tension so, to overcome this, steel fibers has been used. There are few reuse and recycling solutions for this industrial by-product, both in experimental phase and have useful applications. These mechanical wastes are dumped in the close-by areas and natural fruitfulness of the soil is ruined.

The physical, mechanical & chemical properties of wastes are discussed. In this study, marble powder has replaced sand, the whole research is carried out on M60 grade concrete with partly replacing sand by 0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60% of marble dust, with the addition of steel fibers at ratio 0.8% by volume so as to get greatest compressive strength, flexural strength and furthermore split tensile strength.

Based upon the feasibility interpretation it is observed that replacing up to 45% marble powder and 0.8% of steel fibers in concrete is appropriate in conformance with the requirement. The compressive strength and the spilt tensile increased up to 15% replacement, after that they started decreasing.

A Review Study on Preventing and Detecting Technique of Black Hole Attack in MANET


There are basically two types of black hole attack i.e. internal black hole and External black hole attack. Black hole is a malicious node that wrongly replies for some route requests without having active route to particular destination and drop all the getting packets. If these malicious nodes work jointly as a collection then the damage will be very risky. This type of attack is called cooperative black hole attack. Black hole attack is a type of active attack. Black hole attack can arise when the malicious node on the path attack the data transfer and purposely drop, delay or change the data transfer passing through it. Black hole node treats itself as a trusted node.

This is review study on Black hole node send false routing information, claim that it has a best route and cause additional good nodes to route data packets through the black hole node.

Optimization of 36cm2 Effective Area on Serpentine Flow Channel of PEMFC

The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is an electrochemical device and its performance depends on the operating and design parameters. In this paper, optimization of design parameters like flow channel design, number of flow path, channel depth and width, cross section of the flow channel and operating parameters as operating pressure, temperature, relative humidity, mass flow rate of the reactant gases and stoichiometric ratio of the reactants on serpentine flow channel of 36 cm2 effective area of the PEMFC was considered. Creo software used for modeling and CFD software packages used for analysis of PEMFC.

The optimization was done by Taguchi method using Minitab 17 software. Based on the optimization study, the Landing to Channel width ratio (L: C) - 1:2 has produced maximum power density of 0.276 W/cm2 also square of response factor (R2) was achieved by Taguchi method as 96.9%.

Techno-Economic and Environmental Analysis of Wind-Diesel Power System

This paper discusses the economic analysis and environmental impacts of integrating a photovoltaic (PV) array into diesel-electric power systems for remote villages. MATLAB Simulink is used to match the load with the demand and apportion the electrical production between the PV and diesel-electric generator. The economic part of the model calculates the fuel consumed, the kilo watt hours obtained per gallon of fuel supplied, and the total cost of fuel. The environmental part of the model calculates the particulate matter (PM), NOx and CO2 emitted to the atmosphere.

Simulations were performed for three cases: 1) diesel only; 2) diesel-battery; and 3) PV with diesel-battery using a one-year time period. The simulation results were utilized to calculate the energy payback, the simple payback time for the PV module, and the avoided costs of CO2, NOx, and PM

Different Configurations and Technologies in PV-Wind based Hybrid Power System

The wind and solar energy are omnipresent, freely available, and environmental friendly. The wind energy systems may not be technically viable at all sites because of low wind speeds and being more unpredictable than solar energy. The combined utilization of these renewable energy sources are therefore becoming increasingly attractive and are being widely used as alternative of oil-produced energy. Economic aspects of these renewable energy technologies are sufficiently promising to include them for rising power generation capability in developing countries.

A renewable hybrid energy system consists of two or more energy sources, a power conditioning equipment, a controller and an optional energy storage system. Research and development efforts in solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies are required to continue for, improving their performance, establishing techniques for accurately predicting their output and reliably integrating them with other conventional generating sources.

The aim of this paper is to review the current state of the design, operation and control requirement of the hybrid energy base power systems with conventional backup source i.e. diesel or grid. This Paper also highlights the future developments, which have the potential to increase the economic attractiveness of such systems and their acceptance by the user

Analysis the Effect of Steel Fibre and Marble Dust with Strength of Pavement Quality Concrete

The thrust nowadays is to produce thinner and green pavement sections of better quality, which can carry the heavy loads. The high strength steel fibre reinforced concrete is a concrete having compressive strength greater than 40MPa, made of hydraulic cements and containing fine and coarse aggregates; and discontinuous, unconnected, randomly distributed steel fibres. The present study aims at, developing pavement quality concrete mixtures incorporating marble dust as partial replacement of cement as well as steel fibres.

The aim is to the design of slab thickness of PQC pavement using the achieved flexural strength of the concrete mixtures. In this study, the flexural, compressive and split tensile strength for pavement quality concrete mixtures for different percentage of steel fibres and replacement of cement with marble dust are reported. It is found out the maximum increase in flexure strength, compressive strength and split tensile strength is for 0% Marble Dust and 1% Steel fibre.

Also it has been possible to achieve savings in cement by replacing it with marble dust and adding fibres. This study also shows that in view of the high flexural strength, high values of compressive strength and high values of split tensile strength, higher load carrying capacity and higher life expectancy, the combination of 10 to 20% marble dust replacement along with addition of 0.5 to 1% steel fibres is ideal for design of Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC).
