AGRISMART: Crop and Soil Management System
Abstract: Agriculture has played a crucial role in developing countries where the majority of the rural population relies on it for their livelihoods. A finer-grade crop classification has become crucial in the context of precision agriculture. In recent years, the volume of open image data has grown significantly. This can be used in combination with machine learning techniques to classify crop types in the agricultural industry. The proposed crop species recognition …

Effects of Glass Fibres on the Shear Strength of Sandy Soil
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of glass fibres on the shear strength parameters of sand. To study the effect, sand was mixed with three different glass fibre contents (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of length of 10 mm. Series of direct shear test was carried out to study the behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced sand. After studying the results, it clearly showed that the shear strength and angle of internal friction …

River Water and Soil Analysis in Noyyal River, Tirupur
Abstract: Tirupur is famous for its textile industries. Because of this, the rate of water pollution is also very high. The generation of waste water from the industries is the main reason for the waste water problems to the environment. Some industries are not adopting any proper treatment methods to avoid this pollution, because of the high treatment cost. Without giving proper treatment the waste water is dumping in to the …

Studies on Biosurfactants from Petroleum Contaminated Soil to Check its Application in Cosmetics
Abstract: Biosurfactant is basically known as surface active molecules, synthesized by different microorganisms. In the present study, biosurfactant producing strains PD1 and PD2 were isolated from the petroleum contaminated site, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat, India. The isolates were screened by oil displacement and hemolytic methods. The optimization of different parameters was done with the aim of increasing product. Waste substrates were also used to reduce biosurfactant production cost. The surface tension reduction, …

Evaluation of Equal Settlements of Geosynthetic Reinforced Piled Embankment
Abstract: Geosynthetic-Reinforced Pile-Supported Embankments (GRPSE) have emerged as an effective alternative to traditional geotechnical methods Constructing of piled embankments on soft soils. Design of pile-reinforced embankments and evaluation of plane of equal settlements is critical in the case of soft soils. If the embankment height exceeds the height of the plane of the equal settlements, settlements cannot be seen on the pavement, otherwise, differential settlements may be observed on the pavement. …

The Importance of Safety Engineering in the Design and Assessment of Foundations
Abstract: In safety engineering, ensuring the stability of structures under lateral loads is a critical aspect of foundation design. Lateral forces, such as wind, seismic activity, or other environmental pressures, exert overturning moments on columns, which must be carefully managed to prevent structural failure. To maintain stability, the overturning moment at the foundation base, generated by these lateral loads, must always be less than the restoring moment produced by the soil's …
