A Comprehensive Review on the Use of Carbide Based Material to Produce Eco-friendly Tiles
Abstract: Changing climatic condition created more discomfortness for the people to reside inside the building. Several elements regarding its behaviour in elevated temperature is still need to be reviewed. A methodical review of the effects of realistic heat exposure is required to untangle the ambiguity of spalling. Decisions on the kind of concrete mix, cooling amenities and building strategies to be used in the erection of a concrete shape can solely …

Feasibility Studies on Cement Mortar Replaced with Ceramic Tile Waste as Secondary Binder
Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental works focused on replacement of ceramic waste materials with cement in the production of cement mortar. The aim of this research work is to find the optimum percentage replacement of cement by ceramic tile waste in percentage replacement (5 to 25, 50 and 100%) mortar mixes. The ceramic waste tiles are mechanically crushed down ultrafine ceramic waste (UCW) powder passing 600 μ and …

Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Using A 10x10 Sensor Matrix with Integrated Circuit Design for Pressure Control
Abstract: This project aims to create a system that generates energy using piezoelectric technology, designed as a rectangular tile platform. The platform has two layers of sensors arranged in a 10 × 10 grid, connected in a mix of series and parallel setups. The top layer acts as a surface for external forces, like footsteps, while springs connect the layers to control pressure and maximize energy generation. A rectifier ensures the …

Walking into the future: Energy Harvesting from Foot Fall
Abstract: The rapid depletion of non-renewable energy resources and the rising demand for sustainable alternatives have led to the exploration of innovative energy harvesting technologies. One such approach is harnessing the untapped mechanical energy produced by human footfalls in crowded public areas. This project presents a novel method of electricity generation using a flywheel-based mechanical system that captures and converts footstep energy into electrical energy. The system is designed to be …
