Properties of Concrete with Reinforcement Eggshell Powder As Cement
Abstract: Many people choose concrete because of its reputation for durability and dependability. Concrete is not only strong and consistent, but also energy efficient, design flexible, cheap, and generally ecofriendly. In addition to protecting natural ecosystems, stable civilizations often make plans for further industrialization and urbanization. As long as it is utilized in a compositionally flexible and ecologically friendly way, concrete may be used to create aesthetically stunning structures. Inadequate domestic …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Cast iron due to Bio-organism
Abstract: Cast iron is a high tensile strength metal. It is generally used for making tools, pipe fitting, electrical fitting equipment and rail track. It interacts with corrosive substances to develop electrochemical cell on their interface. Corrosive substances are acids, bases, salts, bio-wastes, particulates and pollutants. These substances produce hostile medium for materials. These harmful wastes discharge by industries, households, agricultural, urbanization, development of infrastructure, construction works, thermal power stations, hydropower, …

Evaluating Fiber Volume Fraction and Defects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites for T Joint applications
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been integral to industries such as aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, and automotive due to their strength, durability, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. This study examines the production and microstructural analysis of polymer composites using FRP and manual lamination methods. While manual lamination is quick and economical, it relies on operator skill, resulting in low mechanical properties. Microstructure analysis via 3D optical and scanning electron microscopes revealed that …

Soil Stabilized Road
Abstract: This research examines the suitability of soil-stabilized roadways for light vehicular movement, offering an economical and practical alternative for areas with limited infrastructure development. Stabilizing soil involves improving its engineering properties by incorporating additives such as cement, lime, or other binding materials. Through stabilization, the treated soil can achieve a compressive strength of approximately 5 N/mm², or 500 tonnes per square meter (t/m²), which is sufficient to support loads imposed …

Investigating The Synergistic Effects of Micro and Nano Particle Reinforcements in Powder Metallurgy-Processed Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites for Enhanced Mechanical Performance
Abstract: The ever-growing demands of modern mechanical applications necessitate the development of materials with superior mechanical properties. In this research, we delve into the creation and evaluation of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (Al MMCs) made via the powder metallurgy route, reinforced with both micro and Nano-scale particles. The key aim is to investigate the possible cooperative effects of this dual reinforcement approach on the mechanical behavior of the composite. Traditional aluminum …

Enhancing Delamination Resistance in CFRP Composites through surface Functionalization of Woven carbon Fiber by CuO Nanostructures
Abstract: In order to produce a nanostructured interphase that improves the interfacial interaction with an epoxy resin matrix, copper oxide (CuO) nanostructures were hydrothermally formed onto woven carbon fibers (WCF). Hexagonal CuO nanorods were created using a two-step, seed-assisted solvothermal technique on plain woven carbon fiber. This study investigates the effects of surface modification of carbon fibers by the formation of CuO nanostructures using a hydrothermal technique on the mechanical properties …
