Improving Black Cotton Soil with Sodium Hydroxide and Fly Ash: An Assessment of Optimum Moisture Content, Dry Density, and California Bearing Ratio
Abstract: This study investigates the stabilization of Black Cotton Soil (BCS), an expansive clayey soil primarily composed of montmorillonite minerals, using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and fly ash. Due to its high plasticity and significant volume changes with moisture, BCS is challenging for construction purposes. Adding NaOH and fly ash can potentially improve the soil's moisture tolerance, compressibility, and reduce its plasticity, making it more suitable for structural applications. The research evaluates …

Comparing Consistency Limits of Black Cotton Soil with Cement Waste Dust and Wood Shaving Ash
Abstract: In the field of civil engineering, soil has to play a prime role right from planning a structure to the end of life of that structure. But some of the soils do not offer that service which a civil engineer wants to get. Shrinking in dry state and swelling in wet state, is the well-known proved proverb for black cotton soil. In Saurashtra, southern part of the zone has such …

A Simple, Compact, and Power-Efficient Current-Mode Decimal Adder Circuit
Abstract: A size and power efficient current-mode decimal adder is proposed in this paper. The proposed adder does not use binary coded decimal (BCD) number system for processing the decimal data like other decimal adders. Instead, it processes the decimal data as the actual decimal inputs. The proposed adder can be used as a decimal half adder as well as a decimal full adder. The adder is based on simple decimal …

Stabilization of Alluvial Soil by using Boiler Feed Ash
Abstract: The feasibility of using industrial wastes, boiler feed ash (BFA) (rice husk-based) from an oil mill for soil stabilization was studied. The waste material is produced as an industrial by-product in the boiler of the oil mill; the waste contains silica compound up to 85%, hence it can be used as a stabilizing agent. The effects of adding BFA on Proctor's density, Atterberg’s limits, soil plasticity and the CBR value …

Optimized Utilization of Kota Stone Slurry Waste in Fly Ash–Based Geopolymer Mortar: A Taguchi-Driven Approach
Abstract: The large-scale generation of stone-processing wastes presents a critical sustainability challenge and an opportunity for value-added reuse in construction materials. This study develops a high-performance fly ash geopolymer mortar by partially replacing Class F fly ash with Kota stone slurry waste (KSSW) and optimizing the key mix parameters using a Taguchi design framework. Five governing factors—binder replacement level, NaOH molarity, sodium silicate–to–sodium hydroxide ratio (SS/SH), curing temperature, and alkaline solution-to-binder …

Heat Transfer and Exergy Analysis of Methane-Air Flame Impinging on Plane Surfaces
Abstract: Exergy and heat flow have been numerically investigated for flame impinging on flat circular plates. The maximum work available when the system is brought to thermodynamic equilibrium state with its surrounding is known as the exergy of a system. This state of equilibrium of the system depends on the pressure, temperature, and composition of environment. Efficiency based on exergy is otherwise known as the second-law efficiency which measures the usefulness …
