Performance of Combined PV-Inverter System: Use of Amorphous and Crystalline Panels
Abstract: This paper is aimed at analyzing the performance of a combined PV-inverter system connected to an external load using either amorphous or crystalline photovoltaic modules. The analysis is based on previous theoretical analysis that uses the efficiency of the PV panel and of the DC/AC inverter as a key parameter. Different configurations using the same energy resource have been simulated to determine the efficiency of the PV panel, DC/AC inverter, …

Soil Microbial Biomass and Microbial Quotient under Different Plantations at Maldeota, Dehradun, India
Abstract: Microbial properties have been reported to be useful indicators of soil quality and could serve as assessment criteria for the successful rehabilitation of ecologically disturbed areas. The microbial quotient – ratio of soil microbial biomass C to soil organic C – may, therefore, be a more sensitive parameter to monitor organic matter dynamics than either microbial biomass C or soil organic C considered alone. The study site is located at …

A Review on Stabilization of Expansive Soil Using Different Methods
Abstract: Expansive soils are difficult soils for construction purposes because of their cyclic swell/shrink behavior. These soils undergo significant expansion when subjected to an increase in water content or shrink under evaporation condition (when water out). Bulging soils can be improved in several ways. Either by adding materials such as cement, lime, sand and adding river mixture soil. or these soils treated with chemical additives. When added to expansive soils in …

Influence of wall friction on Active Earth Pressure in Model Test
Abstract: Earth pressure theories occupy a paramount position in the field of geotechnical engineering. The knowledge of active earth pressure under static condition is essential in designing a retaining wall as the damage to such retaining structures may lead to disastrous failure. A retaining wall helps in maintaining the ground surface at different elevations on either side of it. Without such a structure, the soil at higher elevation would tend to …

Evaluate Variations of Deflections of Fixed Headed Pile from Non-Linear Load - Deflection Curve under Lateral Loading
Abstract: Lateral stability is the vital issue when the pile stands in several soft clay either sand layers. In reality, structure and soil both are show non-linear behaviors. Proper evaluation of non-linear behavior has not so essay in theory. However, slight non-linear effects are included in pile deflection from load-deflection curve of pressuremeter test in laboratory. Pressuremeter modulus is influenced deflection of fixed headed piles. Predicting the variations of non-linear load …

Assessing the Influence of Loading Mode and Stabilization on the Deformation of Gypseous soil
Abstract: Gypseous subgrade soil usually exhibit acceptable strength when compacted with optimum moisture requirement and tested in dry condition. However, it loses its strength when came in touch with water. Such behaviour possesses a risk of failure when such soil is implemented in the construction of roadway embankment. In the present investigation, Gypseous soil was implemented in the construction of eight embankment models. The first model was the soil tested in …

E-waste Trends and Sustainable Practices in India
Abstract: It is impossible to assume a day without electronic products. Since the development of modern age, electronic items have made our life easier by reducing our efforts significantly and by saving our time. Each electronic item has a specific lifetime, after which, they should be either recycled using appropriate channel or should be discarded which most of the countries like India were facing difficulties in. Day by day, many innovative …

Interference Effect between Prismatic Buildings Subjected to Microburst Wind
Abstract: Severe thunderstorms are important weather phenomena which impact on various facets of national activity like civil and defense operation, particularly aviation, space vehicle launching and agriculture in addition to its damage potential to life and properties. One of the most important events in the thunderstorms is the “Downburst”. Downbursts occur when a column of descending air reaches the ground and bursts out violently. This downward motion abruptly changes direction and …
