A study on RCA as parialy replacement with natural aggregate

Recycle Concrete Aggregate has also been described as “the most revolutionary development in concrete construction for several decades”. It has proved to be beneficial from the point of economic, environmental benefits and Preservation of non-renewable recourses this thesis presents a study conducted on mechanical and durability properties of recycled aggregates concrete. The investigation covered concrete mixes at the water-cementitious material with a ratio of 0.4. Ordinary Portland cement of 43-grade was used in this study. The percentage of recycled aggregates that partially replaced natural aggregates by weight were 0%, 15%,30%, 45%, 60% and 75%. Concrete cubes and cylinders were cast and tested in laboratories. The optimum proportion of replacement was found by conducting tests on mechanical properties like Compressive strength test and Split tensile strength test. To assess the corrosion and durability characteristics of recycled concrete aggregates Acid and alkalinity resistance test were performed. The results show that the optimum replacement of recycled aggregates with natural aggregates was 45%. Up to 45% replacement, it is possible to gain the same strength as conventional concrete. Beyond 45% replacement the strength results following a decreasing trend.

Energy comparative analysis of diverse routing protocols in MANET for healthcare environment: Survey paper

Nowadays, wireless networks play a vital role in diverse filed due to a huge area of application. An ad-hoc network is a mull over as a fragmentation type of wireless network. MANET is a category of an ad-hoc network where nodes are high octane. The MANET is made up of a number of mobile nodes that can connect to each other over multi-hop wireless links on an ad-hoc basis. Adhoc mobile networks have diverse routing protocols of a different class. After research, we came to a conclusion that every protocol having some advantageous and limitation and every protocol cannot be deployed in every circumstance for underwater WSN there are different class of protocols. In this review paper a deep analysis carried out on proactive (table driven), reactive (on demand) and hybrid protocol. Further our main backbone is to know about those protocols which take minimum energy in health care system. The reference article having three protocols of different category DSR, DSDV, and AODV. Today advance and unorthodox applications for healthcare environments based on a wireless network are being flourished in the private enterprise. The prominent wireless networks are growing an elementary part of every single field of life. Our research work will be carried out in NS2.

An investigation on design of tall building structures with a hexagrid system using STAAD Pro

The advancement of technology and development of the economy of the world have brought the new era of tall buildings. The most efficient building system for high rises has been the tube-type structural systems. Nowadays, a particular structural system called a hexagrid system has caught the attention of engineers. In order to improve the efficiency of tube-type structures in tall buildings, as both structural and architectural requirements are provided well, a new structural system, called "Hexagrid", is introduced in this study. It consists of multiple hexagonal grids on the face of the building. However limited academic researchers have been done with the focus on the structural behavior, design criteria and performance assessment of this structural system. This study investigated the tall hexagrid buildings, focusing on the size and pattern of different hexagrid modules.

A review on design of tall building structures with a hexagrid system using STAAD Pro

Recent design trends in tall buildings pose new challenges to structural designers, in addition to the traditional requirements for strength, stiffness, ductility and system efficiency. Ever increasing heights and complexity of form, need for robustness coupled to an economy, awareness of limited material resources and sustainability, are all new demanding questions to be tackled with fresh approaches, novel structural systems, and open minds. Structural configurations best addressing the traditional requirements of strength and stiffness for tall buildings are the ones employing the tube concept, whose efficiency is strictly related to the involved shear resisting mechanism, and in fact the historical evolution of the tube concept has been marked by the attempts of reducing the occurrence of efficiency loss due to shear deformations. In this paper, the structural behavior of innovative structural solutions for tube structure is discussed, studying the peculiar behavior of each analyzed geometry, proposing new design approaches and evaluating the related structural efficiency.

Feedback Tracker: Android application to find the biased behaviour of students while filing the feedback form for their teachers

Student feedback is a process of collecting student reviews about the teacher’s performance in order to evaluate the teacher’s effectiveness. It has thus the most powerful influences on learning and achievements. Its power is very often mentioned in different articles about learning and teaching, but surprisingly few recent studies have systematically investigated its meaning. Although feedback is among the major influences, the type of feedback and the way it is given can be differentially effective. Nowadays, technology is increasingly used by a human being in every field. The concept of “Feedback_Tracker” introduced in this paper is to digitalize and organize the feedback process. What makes the “Feedback_Tracker” different from the traditional pen-paper feedbacks is, it’s set of complimentary criteria’s taken into consideration while evaluating each feedback score. The idea behind evaluating the feedback score in a better way is to take into account the biased behavior of each student while filling out the feedback form. It is an effort to evaluate the performance of a faculty depending upon the student satisfaction level, taking into consideration the biased behavior of students. Finally, this analysis and concept are used to suggest ways in which feedback can be used to enhance its effectiveness in classrooms.

Personal characteristics of rural youth in cattle management practices

The aim of the study is to be taken as a participation of rural Youth in cattle management practices in relation to their personal characteristics in the selected areas of Latur. The study was carried out at the twelve villages of Latur District. From each village 10, rural youth were selected with the purpose of the study and data were collected from them by direct interview. This indicates that personal characteristics of rural youth in cattle management on the Distribution of the respondents according to their level of education, land holding, cosmopoliteness, family size, extension contact, a source of information, social participation.
