Characteristic Studies on Self-compacting Concrete using Nano Silica with Copper Slag
Abstract: The paper examines the possibility of using copper slag as partial replacement of sand and Nano Silica as partial replacement of cement and super plasticizer and Viscosity Modifying Agent are used in self compacting concrete, in order to overcome problems associated with cast-in-place concrete. Self compacting concrete does not require skilled labours. The percentage of copper slag to be added is 10 %, 20 %, 30 % of total weight …

Consequence Analysis, Vulnerability Mapping and Fuzzy Fault Tree Analysis for a Better Disaster Management in and Around Chemical Industrial Areas
Abstract: Chemical industries are prone to hazards like fire, explosion and toxic gas releases. Qualitative and quantitative hazard analyses are essential for the identification and quantification of the hazards associated with chemical industries. This study presents the results of a consequence analysis carried out to assess the damage potential of the hazardous material storages in an industrial area of central Kerala, India. These results are used for the estimation of individual …

Heavy Metal Analysis in Soil: A Case Study through the Noyyal River, Tirupur
Abstract: Noyyal River is a tributary of Cauvery River which rises from Vellingiri hills in Western Ghats, Tamilnadu South eastern India and drains in to Cauvery River. The river flows through four states, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Karur and Erode in western Tamilnadu. Till the river reaches Tirupur, the pollution concentration is considerably low. But in the Tirupur area the rate becomes substantially high due to the textile effluent discharge and sustains downstream …

Interference Effect between Prismatic Buildings Subjected to Microburst Wind
Abstract: Severe thunderstorms are important weather phenomena which impact on various facets of national activity like civil and defense operation, particularly aviation, space vehicle launching and agriculture in addition to its damage potential to life and properties. One of the most important events in the thunderstorms is the “Downburst”. Downbursts occur when a column of descending air reaches the ground and bursts out violently. This downward motion abruptly changes direction and …
