A Review on Strength of Concrete in Marine Structures
Abstract: Several billion tons of water is annually used as mixing, curing and cleaning around the world, in concrete industry. As there is a scarcity of fresh drinkable water around the world; so there is a need to save fresh water and hence possibilities of using seawater as mixing as well as curing water should be investigated seriously. Additionally, if use of seawater as concrete material is permitted, it will be …

STRUCTURAL DESIGN ANALYSIS OF FPSO HULL TOPSIDE INTERFACE
Abstract: This paper aims to address the structural challenges in conjunction with the design and analysis of topside module support structures for installation on Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel. The most common topsides foundation concepts applied on FPSOs are identified, and discusses the consequences of each configuration for the layout of the unit in associated with the design of the hull structure and the topsides. Further, the information needed …

Study the Variation of Biodeisel Yeild with different Oil/Ethanol Ratio and Catalyst(KOH) Concentration
Abstract: Fossil fuel resources are depleting rapidly from their natural reserves. These reserves are important for fulfilling the need for our energy requirement especially as a fuel. This depletion creates a demand for scientists and researchers to look for the substitute of these natural reserves. Consumption of these carbon fuels causes increase in CO2 content of the atmosphere. Therefore Biodiesel could be a better alternative. Seeds having high oil yield and …

Quantify the Variation of Oil Yield from Castor Seeds Using Soxhlet Apparatus with the Solid/Solvent Ratio & Extraction Time
Abstract: Use of non-edible oils for various commercial purposes is increasing nowadays worldwide. Therefore in search of this, seed having maximum yield while having least cost should be the best alternative. As a result, need is there to study the variation of oil yield from these non-edible oil seeds. Hence this study is focused on using castor seeds available in the area as the feedstock for oil production. The variability of …

Research Note on the estimation of unrained bearing capacity of spud can foundation under combination loading
Abstract: This research note presents a numerical investigation into the bearing behavior of an embedded spud-can in normally consolidated soil. The numerical model is implemented with ABAQUS*TM. The different embedment depths from shallow to deep are considered in this research note. The numerical model is based upon the ‘small strain finite element (SSFE)’ approach to compute capacity of the installed spud-can. The numerical model allows a systematic estimation of the combined …
