    Strength and Durability Properties of Metakaolin Amalgamated High Performance Concrete

    By G. Muthumari, K. Niraikula Sekaran

    Abstract: In past three decades, it is inevitably for the development of high strength concrete (HSC) and high performance concrete (HPC) is progressively enhanced, since these concrete are widely used throughout the world in most prominent projects like oil, bridges, multi-storey buildings and nuclear industries etc. In meticulous, the amalgamation of supplementary cementing material (SCM) or pozzolanic materials is vital when high strength and durability become the most desired properties of …

    Investigation on Clay Soil Stabilization using Plastic Powder

    By G. Muthumari, K. Niraikula Sekaran

    Abstract: A huge amount of black cotton soil or clayey soil is available all around the world which leads to a waste of land for construction uses, since it has expansiveness, swelling and shrinkage properties etc. So we have tried to resolve this problem by stabilizing the black cotton soil by waste material marble powder. This study impact with the effect of PP (PP) on expansive soil by conducting the laboratory …

    Comparative Study on Stabilization of Expansive Soil using Cement Kiln Dust and Ceramic Dust

    By G. Muthumari, R. Nasar Ali, J. Dhaveethu Raja

    Abstract: In India, expansive soils cover about 20% of total land area, these soils increase in volume (swell) during winter season and decrease in volume (shrink) during summer season. Due to this contradiction behaviour many civil engineering structures constructed on expansive soils get damaged severely, out of which pavement is the most because they are lightweight and extend over large areas. Stabilization of Expansive soil is of most importance, since to …

    Experimental Study on Micro Silica Amalgamated High Performance Concrete

    By G. Muthumari, K. Niraikula Sekaran

    Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, an endeavour has been made to swot the effect of micro silica (MS) or silicafume with partial replacement of cement (i.e., 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25%) and also with fullreplacement of natural sand by crusher wash sand (CWS) on strength and durabilityproperties for high performance concrete (HPC) of M50 grade with water cement ratio as0.30. Test results indicate that, the use of MS has improved …

    Effect of Corrosion on Flexural Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beam: An Experimental Study

    By G. Muthumari, J. Abbas Mohaideen

    Abstract: AbstractThe main aim of this experimental study is to investigate the effect of corrosion on reinforced concrete beams, particularly on load deflection behavior, load carrying capacity and crack width by using with or without epoxy coating on the steel surface. Accelerated corrosion technique was adopted to corrode the beam experimentally. The corrosion was measured using the Open Circuit Potential (OCP) measurement instrument. A total of 14 simply supported beam specimens …
