Compressive Strength of SCC Increased by Use of HD-Glass Fiber and Glass Fiber
Abstract: Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a concrete that has been specifically designed for use in situations where access from below is impossible. It is able to flow when the weight of its own body is applied. When encountering extensive reinforcement and intricate structural designs, it may be utilised. Segregation and bleeding issues are ignored, and compaction does not require vibration. Concrete has a strong compression strength and a weak tension strength. …

Prediction of Transformer Oil Parameters Using UV/VIS Spectroscopy Graphs
Abstract: AbstractUltraviolet–visible rays (UV/VIS) spectroscopy is a method based on a spectrum, which forms a graph between radiations absorbed by the material and the wavelength of the radiations. UV/VIS spectroscopy is able to tell the impurities or decay contents present in any sample material. In this paper, we have used data collected from various tests performed on the transformer oil samples and compared these results with the UV/VIS spectroscopy results. This …

Flexural Analysis of Concrete Specimens with Substantial Substitution of Cement by Marble Dust and Scrap Rubber as Fibre
Abstract: Concrete is a crucial material in building and construction. Concrete is becoming more and more in demand every day. Concrete's essential ingredients are running out, therefore we need to find replacements. In addition to providing the necessary strength to the concrete, the replacement materials should also have the properties of the genuine components used in concrete. Typically, compression is where concrete shines, whereas tension and shear are where it falters. …

Impact of Built Shape, Forms and Spaces on Human Psychology
Abstract: Shelter is the essential component for human survival, yet they know more about the effects of environmental conditions on human health than they know about how a building’s geometry affects the human brain. Typically, architects work on geometry to integrate the appearance of structures, but design-oriented geometry ignores human experience with respect to psychology and emotion. The psychological effects of architectural geometry on human senses, behaviors, and experiences are the …
