Cenosphere Based No Aggregate Floating Concrete
Abstract: Concrete is an excellent building material, used widely around the world, but the only disadvantage of concrete is that it has self-weight. This self-weight does not allow concrete to be used in light-weight structures. In this work, mix design is prepared in such a manner that density of concrete is less than that of water and hence concrete can float on water and therefore it is termed as floating concrete. …

An Analytical Model for Sub grid Force-Equilibrium Approach in Submerged Vegetative Channel
Abstract: A new, analytical model of the vertical flow velocity profile of submerged vegetation has been developed. Velocity profile can be divided into three zones: linear zone which is closed to bed with linear velocitydistribution, logarithmic zone which involves the main channel without vegetative cover and the middle zone (transition zone) that is affected by the momentum of upper zone. For the surface layer, Prandtl’s mixing lengthconcept is adopted resulting in …
