A Case Study on R.C.C Cast in situ Pile Capacities for Flyover Foundations
Abstract: Bangladesh is a densely populated country in the world. So, for the movement of this large population needs a good transport system. Every day people are moving hundreds of kilometers for their personal and official works and using different road transport system. Reality is the roads are very narrow. The present situation says people are making traffic jams though not intentionally. People have to work or stay at home, though …

Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Exterior Beam Column Joint Subjected to Monotonic Loading
Abstract: A numerical analysis of exterior beam-column joint subjected to constant axial load on the column top and monotonic load applied at the beam tip is presented in this work. A strain-based nonlinear finite element program is developed in MATLAB R2009a. The nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete structural member is carried out considering it as a two-phase system. The concrete in nonlinear range is considered as orthotropic material having different stress-strain …

Liquefaction Behavior of Clean Sand for Various Sample Sizes Using Triaxial Tests
Abstract: A total of 54 isotropically consolidated un-drained triaxial compression tests on various sample sizes were conducted to study the effect of sample size on liquefaction behavior of clean sand. Specimens were prepared using moist placement and dry deposition methods with different initial relative densities and tested for different confining pressures. It was observed that as the sample size increases, deviator stress also increases. Peak value of deviator stress increased as …

Experimental Studies on Modified Sequential Batch Reactor Using High Density Poly Ethylene as a Media
Abstract: Dairy industry wastewater is being a challenge to the environment. The effluent from the diary industries contain high amount of sulphate, sulphide, ammonia, chloride, nitrate, oil and grease, etc. To treat dairy waste water many methods were developed by researchers in the last few decades. Modified sequencing batch reactors (MSBRs) process used for different type of wastewater such as municipal wastewater, landfill leachate, dairy wastewater slaughter house, etc. Main operating …

Fabrication of Paper Bricks from Paper Waste and Cement
Abstract: Paper bricks are key construction materials for buildings in general and for low cost housing in particular. To keep up with sustainable development movements and increasing competitive pressure in the industry, building materials of the future have to be of lighter weight, more energy efficient and lower cost. The use of recycled materials is also critical for long-term sustainability. The objective of this study is to develop lightweight paper brick …
