A Review Paper on Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Generally, adding of steel fibres in concrete improves the significance of the concrete mix and it also reduces the workability of the concrete. Steel fibre reinforced concrete SFRC is a Composite material which is made up of hydraulic cements. It contains coarse and fine aggregate. Since, cement having well compressive and steel having tensile strength it is capable of resisting wind and earthquake forces. Although reinforcing brittle materials with fibres is not a new concept, it was started in the early 1960s. Steel fibres added to concrete, steel fibre reinforced concrete SFRC is formed which enhances flexural strength, tensile strength and impact resistance. As it also improves structural integrity and protects from crack deformation which impacts to extent life of the Structures. The use of Steel fibre reinforced concrete SFRC requires accurate configuration differ from normal concrete and workability of the concrete would be affected as the quantity of fibres increasing. Still SFRC Structures are limited and a steel fibre is not considered to be economical and less stable as they often used in tunnel and underground structural Steel fibres mostly developed to many micro cracks to few macro cracks.

An Investigation into the Robustness of the Assessment of Learners with Special Needs Case of Leseli Community School

Education for learners with special needs remains a challenge for developing countries like Lesotho where development of infrastructure and appropriate training for personnel is still at its infancy. With the number of learners with special needs on the rise, lack of basic necessities has compelled such learners to be absorbed in the main stream education system, leaving educators frustrated. Although having all inclusive education as professed by the government may be an ideal situation for learners with special needs, what remains a barrier is the mode of assessment for such learners. The study sought to establish the depth and breadth of the assessment of learners with special needs in Lesotho. The study was conducted using the qualitative methodology. The in depth interviews were conducted in order to get a thorough and informed insight that reveals how learners with special needs are evaluated. Documents such as Education Act 2010, The National Constitution and Children's Protection and Welfare Act 2011 were analysed to assess whether they respond to the needs of such learners. The informant selection techniques employed were convenience and purposive sampling. respondents were selected based on their availability and willingness to respond. The findings were analysed using thematic method of analysis. The study revealed that the government has not done enough to ensure inclusive education. This is evidenced by lack of clear policies for learners with special needs, as well as facilities and trained personnel for such learners.

A Review on Contract Management on Sewage Treatment Plant STP

A study on domestic waste water characterization has been performed followed by the design of sewage treatment plant. The present study involves the analysis of pH value, total solids, total suspended solids, hardness, acidity, alkalinity, chloride, chlorine, BOD, DO and heavy metals such as Iron, Copper, Zinc, Magnesium, Nickel, Chromium, Lead, Calcium, Aluminium, Silicon, Potassium. A sewage treatment plant is quite necessary to receive the domestic and commercial waste and removes the materials which pose harm for general public. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe fluid waste stream or treated effluent and a solid waste or treated sludge suitable for disposal or reuse usually as farm fertilizer. The samplings of the domestic waste from hostels have been done in different times of the day to have an average data of the measured parameters. The average values of pH, Turbidity, Acidity, Chloride, Residual Chlorine, Hardness, Total Solid, BOD, DO, Alkalinity, Total Iron Content, Zinc Content, Potassium, Copper, Magnesium, Nickel, Chromium, Lead, Calcium, Aluminum and Silicon are found out. The study examined the use of contract management practices on performance of the Sewage Treatment Plant construction projects, implemented under different contract modes. 

The objectives of this presentation are to examine the role of monitoring intensity in enhancing performance of the Sewage Treatment Plant construction projects under contract modes Item Rate, BOT, EPC, HAM, TOT etc. to analyze the relationship between risk management and performance of the Sewage Treatment Plant construction projects and to assess the role of evaluation in enhancing performance at different parts of the country.Good contract management and administration has the capacity to increase revenue opportunities, decrease costs and enhance service delivery. Importantly, as competencies of managers and resources at their disposal increases, it is essential that they strengthen their efforts to make compliance central to strategic objectives.Many findings including and indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between monitoring intensity, risk management, evaluation and performance of STP construction projects. The performance of the STP construction projects in India was more related to the availability and use of resources which include funding, human resources and the basic raw materials used in the construction process which results into delays, cost overruns and poor quality service. Based on these study findings it is therefore recommended that India should commit more resources to evaluation and risk management to realize higher level of service delivery in Sewerage construction STP. My above presentation covers briefly number of risks encountered from different contract modes of Sewer projects.

Smart Water Metering

Smart meters are a major component of eco friendly home or building. Smart metering is required for the operation of the smart homes and buildings. The benefits of smart water metering have been recognized. A powerful approach for hour by hour monitoring and metering purposes in water networks is the automatic meter infrastructure AMI. Smart metering is now an established technology which can be applied to collect, store, and distribute real time data on water usage. This paper provides a brief introduction to the smart water metering.

Effect of Oil Extraction Method on the Functional Properties of Biodiesels of Selected Oilseeds

Owing to the rise in demand for petroleum and environmental concerns, the search for alternative fuels has gained prominence. This study examined the effect of the method of extraction of the base oil on the functional properties of biodiesel produced from Jatropha, Yellow oleander and Castor oilseeds. The study revealed that the method of extraction had significant effect on the properties of the oil extracted and hence the biodiesel produced from the oil. Hydrogenation during oven heating after solvent extraction affected the unsaturation of the base oils and the bio diesels produced from them. The kinematic viscosities of the bio diesel samples obtained from the oil samples extracted by solvent extraction were generally higher than those obtained from the oil samples extracted by mechanical extraction. The flash and fire points of the bio diesel samples obtained from the oil samples extracted by solvent extraction were higher than that obtained from the oil samples extracted by mechanical extraction. The pour points of the bio diesels produced from the oils extracted by mechanical extraction were lower than those produced from the oils extracted by solvent extraction.
