Incorporating Fly Ash into Road Construction: Sustainable Infrastructure Development
Abstract: With the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization, there has been a concerning surge in the demand for cement usage. Simultaneously, the substantial production of fly ash and pond ash from thermal plants has led to environmental pollution. To address these pressing issues, the effective utilization of fly ash through partial cement replacement in high-strength concrete has emerged as a viable solution. Experimental investigations have demonstrated the feasibility of this …

Optimizing Pervious Concrete Mix Design for Sustainable Urban Pavements
Abstract: This research explores the comprehensive evaluation of pervious concrete, with a focus on sustainability and performance enhancement. It investigates various factors influencing pervious concrete properties, including cement content, aggregate sizes, water-cement ratio (w/c), and the incorporation of chemical admixtures. The study establishes that an optimal cement content range of 350 kg/m3 to 375 kg/m3 is most effective in achieving the desired balance between workability and essential properties. The research also …

Study on Improvement of Air Quality in Underground Car Parking Area Using Jet Fan
Abstract: In recent years, jet fans have become a popular alternative to traditional ducted systems for ventilating pollutants in large parking areas like underground car parks and tunnels. Proper forced draft ventilation is necessary to remove harmful pollutants, such as vehicle exhaust fumes and smoke in the event of a fire. It is crucial to have a quantitative understanding of how exhaust gases, containing various toxic particles, propagate in these areas.So …

Managing Pavement Settlement Risk: Impact of Waterlogging and Soil Conditions
Abstract: In the context of road infrastructure, the occurrence of waterlogging due to rainfall can have significant repercussions. Rainwater often infiltrates the road surface and, depending on factors such as the depth of the foundation and the extent of penetration into the ground, can lead to the soil beneath the road becoming either moist or saturated. This, in turn, can result in a reduction of the soil's bearing capacity. When vehicles …
