Combine study of conventional bricks fly ash bricks and different percentage of bagasse ash bricks
Abstract: The rapid urbanization is creating a shortfall of conventional building construction materials due to limited availability of natural resources. On the other hand, energy consumed for the production of conventional building construction materials pollutes air, water and land. In order to meet the ever increasing demand for the energy efficient building construction materials there is a need to adopt cost effective, environmentally appropriate technologies and upgrade traditional techniques with available …

Effect of NaOH & Na2Sio3 on GGBS based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: This paper presents the experimental studies on the performance of comparison made by making Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) based on Ground Granulated Blast furnace slag (GGBS),using sodium hydroxide (NaOH )and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3) as alkaline activator. This study has proved that the by-product from iron industries, has the potential to produce cement free concrete, commonly known as Geopolymer concrete (GPC), blast furnace slag is gaining attention to be used as a …

PREDICTING THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE USING ANN IN MATLAB
Abstract: This research work focuses on the production of Artificial Neural Networks ( ANNs) in the prediction of concrete compressive strength after 28 days. The measurement of the compressive strength of concrete in situ by means of cores cut from hardened concrete is recognised as the most common technique, but the compressive strength of concrete is very difficult to predict because several factors affect it.In this paper , in order to …

Strength and Durability of Concrete Cubes and Cylinders Wrapped with FRP
Abstract: Experimental were conduct on the distressed reinforced cement concrete compressive element and on the same after they have been retrofitted for rehabitation. Presently, FRP materials are also been started use in construction field in the form of wrapping to enhance the load carrying capacity, shear and flexural strength as well as ductility. This is an experiment based project which deals with strengthening and load deformation relationship of reinforced cement concrete. …
