Feasibility of Using Nondestructive Testing (NDT) in Roller Compacted Concrete Quality Assessment
Abstract: Roller compacted concrete is a no slump, heavy duty concrete usually used in pavement constructed of roadway, parking lots, in areas of frozen environment or aired region where there is shortage of water for curing, and when other paving alternatives do not satisfy the pavement design requirements regarding heavy loading, and nonstandard wheel configuration. The traditional testing e slab samples have been prepared in the laboratory using two types of …

Durability and Non Destructive Test of Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Abstract: AbstractAim: This paper presents the strength and performances of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) and hybrid fibre reinforced concrete (HFRC). The hybrid fibre is considered in the combination of hooked end steel fibres and polypropylenes fibres. Method: To study the durability properties, the fibre content dosage V f ranged from 0.5 to 2.0% of steel fibres, and 0.8SF0.3PP, 0.7SF0.3PP, 0.6SF0.4PP, 0.5SF0.5PP of hybrid fibres. 10 mixes including one control mix …

A Review on Advancement in Sensor Technology in Structural Health Monitoring System
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) has been in existence for a century but gained attention in near past for the diagnostics and safe use of the structures. Different types of civil structures we use every day like bridges tunnels pipelines and proper monitoring is required for these structures for the long life of them. Lessons learns from the past failure of structures invented the need of structural health monitoring in the …

Effect of TIG Welding Parameter of Welded Joint of Stainless Steel SS304 by TIG Welding
Abstract: TIG welding of stainless steel sheets depends on a large number of factors. Due to practical constraints, four dominant parameters were considered during experimental investigation. The values of the parameters were selected on the basis of material characteristics and equipment available in the industry for experimentation. The existing process of welding the hoarding pipes was studied. Design of experiments technique was used for planning the experiments. Optimum welding parameters were …

Robust Fruit/Vegetable Quality Assessment Using Nondestructive Textural Distortion Analysis
Abstract: A nondestructive approach for fruit quality assessment is outlined in this paper. An x-ray based image analysis for the internal quality assessment is presented. The quality assessment with external inspection is constraint only to the shape ,color and texture, the quality analysis for the internal effects were not possible. The Nondestructive approach using an x-ray image of a testing sample is processed, where the textural spectral variation and pattern distortion …
