Mathematical Modeling of Hybrid PV- Wind Grid Connected Energy System for Improvement in Renewable Energy Applications
Abstract: Presently the world has relied upon petroleum products for energy supply. The overall utilization of non-renewable energy sources (coal, gas and oil) is as yet expanding regardless of the developing worldwide familiarity with the natural effect of non-renewable energy source utilization and of restricted petroleum derivative stores. By and by increment in the cost of oil has been a most significant wellspring of prudent issue on the planet. The creation …

Effect of Compressibility on Undrained Bearing Pressure of Circular Footing Resting on Two-Layered Clay
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the behavior of a circular foundation on layered clay of varying properties. There are several solutions for the bearing capacity of footings on two-layered clays, but none of them considered the compressibility of the strata. An underestimation of the soil bearing capacity is the main cause of failures. The typical difficulty in estimating the capacity of soil is its complicated behavior attributed to the …

Diaper Dissolving Machine
Abstract: In landfills, there are approximately 3.5 million tonnes of disposable diapers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Currently, used diapers are disposed of through burning, burying in the ground, or improper disposal on the ground, including illegal dumping by caregivers. These careless disposal practices pose the risk of spreading infectious diseases and contribute to environmental degradation. To address this significant problem, we propose a suitable nappy waste management system. …

UNDERGROUND CABLE FAULT DETECTION CAR
Abstract: Abstract:-Underground cables along with additional buried assistance can be identified and examinedusing an apparatus known as a cable detector. This is carried out by passing a signal into the earth andthen receiving it back through an antenna. Utilising the received signal endurance, the exact positionand depth of the underground question are found. In doing mining and construction work, this helpsprevent unintended injuries. There are numerous different types of underground cable …

Spinning a New Narrative of Total Productive Maintenance Strategies in Textile Manufacturing
Abstract: Since there is nothing more than what an intense and globalized era demands, quality has emerged as one of the most important factors in determining an institution's survival and success. Well-run companies understand that their bottom lines could be severely impacted by customer reliability. Consequently, a number of fiercely competitive businesses are continually increasing their standards for quality. They are using a quality system called total productive maintenance (TPM) and …

UTILIZATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL WASTE MATERIALS IN SOIL STABILIZATION OF RURAL ROADS: A REVIEW
Abstract: In India, the growth of rural sector directly depends on the road connectivity, which provides the platform and sustainability for economic activities in rural areas. However, difficult topography and unstable geology make the rural road constructions hard. Therefore, the locally available waste materials can be utilized to improve the soil characteristics and can promote the low cost road construction. The present Study is aimed to review the improvement of engineering …

Sensitivity of Rigid Pavement Responses to Pavement Layer Thickness Due to Wheel Load: A Nonlinear Finite Element Study
Abstract: The behavior of a jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) has been investigated under single wheel load for interior loading using finite element technique to predict the critical pavement responses for both linear and nonlinear geometrical characterization. The idealized pavement system is analyzed using 3D finite element analysis with the general purpose finite element software ABAQUS. The developed 3D model was analyzed for four combinations of material characterizations- (1) linear base …

Finite Element Modeling of Asphalt Concrete Pavement Reinforced with Geogrid by Using 3-D PLAXIS Software
Abstract: This paper presents an axisymmetric finite element (FE) model to analyze the behavior of unreinforced and geogrid reinforced asphalt concrete pavement subjected to various tire pressures. The model was loaded with an incremental loading from 100 to 600 kPa with 50 kPa increment and the critical pavement responses such as total stress and vertical surface deflection were determined for unreinforced and geogrid reinforced flexible pavement. The results indicated that during …

Cost Optimisation-A Case Study of Infrastructure Project
Abstract: The Double Deck component between Automotive Square and Gaddigodam comprised of main spine segment and two wing segments on either sides of spines. Both these spine and wing segment were pre-cast at casting yard and erected at site using double deck launching girder and wing erector system respectively. Further to integrate these components, stitch concrete is provided from bottom of wings using Manlift which required shuttering to be undertaken requiring …

Distinctive Qualities of Ayurveda
Abstract: It is time to watch each shlok of Ayurveda with a new view. We people are falling very short to guess the exact meaning of each and every shlok (version) quoted in Ayurveda. Ayurveda is like an ocean of knowledge; as you should go to the bottom or to extent level or base every time you get a new jewel. In this review article, I tried to explain the distinctive …

Acute Toxicity, Morphological Changes and Behavioral Responses Induced by Sodium Perfluorooctanoate in Indian Major Carp Labeo rohita (Ham.)
Abstract: Sodium perfluorooctanoate (NaPFO) is an anthropogenic ubiquitous environmental pollutant mainly used in textile, paper and ink industries, for specialized usage as emulsifiers, firefighting foam, lubricants etc. It finds entry into aquatic ecosystem through effluents from these industries. Static renewal bioassay test was conducted to determine 96 h LC50 of NaPFO on Indian major carp, Labeo rohita. The behavioral and morphological alterations in fingerlings were observed critically during the whole experiment …

Experimental Study of Flexural Behavior of High Strength Concrete
Abstract: Flexural test results generated on nine reinforced concrete beams to evaluate the implications of using high-strength concrete (HSC) are reported. The stress block parameters on the current IS456-2000 code are limited to concrete strength up to 55 MPa. This paper looks at the applicability of IS456-2000 stress block parameters for HSC beyond the scope of code IS456-2000. Particular emphasis has been given to the issues of maximum compressive strain, ultimate …

A Comparative Study on Beam Slab and Flat Plate Building Frame under Seismic Load
Abstract: The study delves to evaluate the performance of beam slab and flat plate slab in the building frame due to seismic load. Two models of the same layout plan and story levels were compared under seismic load as per BNBC 2016—one was a typical frame structure with beam slab i.e., model 1 and another one was a frame structure with a flat slab, i.e., model 2.
