Metal corrosion prevention control with uses of sol-gel coatings
Abstract: The potential for sol-gel generated films to replace methods for pre-treating metal surfaces with chromate is very high. Metallic and organic paint can be painted on with good adherence thanks to inorganic sol-gel generated coatings. Their significant crack-forming propensity prevents them from offering appropriate corrosion protection. A thicker, more flexible, functionalized film is produced with improved compatibility to various organic top coatings when an organic component is added to an …

Estimation of Rock Participation Factor through Hydro Tests of Pressure Shafts: A Case Study
Abstract: Pressure shafts for conveying water from fore-bay reservoir to power generating units are designed by taking advantage of surrounding rock mass in sharing internal design pressure. The ratio of internal pressure shared by surrounding rock mass to design pressure is known as rock participation factor (RPF). It is a very important parameter in economizing the cost of pressure shafts through saving of high strength steel. However, to ascertain share of …

Scientific Investigation of the Ancient Water Bodies (Baravas) from Akkalkot Taluka, Solapur District, Maharashtra: Special Emphasis on Tirth and Jeur Region.
Abstract: Ancient water bodies (Baravas), are the step wells of modern culture. These traditional and important structures are neglected by many researchers for water planning aspect. So, this study explores the architecture of stepwells (Baravas), built traditionally in the western Maharashtra for storing and utilizing the groundwater. Step-wells are the constructions up to 3 to 5 store down from ground level comprising a water-body, which majorly are attractively planned. Above stated …
