Abstract: This paper present a literature review related to use of manufactured sand in SCC. The use of alternative aggregate like manufactured sand is a natural step in solving part of depletion of natural aggregates. The investigation on alternative material for self- compacting concrete making started in recent times. Concrete made from manufactured sand waste as fine aggregate will be studied for workability, compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength. Further, study of its durability will ensure greater dependability in its usage. So here in this project, manufactured sand has been used as replacement of fine aggregate by different percentage for making concrete of M- 25 and M-30. The percentage replacement will be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% with natural fine aggregates. Cubes, beams and cylinders will be casted and tested compressive strength, Split tensile strength, and flexural strength as well as for durability properties. Optimum replacement of manufactured sand can be used in structural concrete.

Key words: Manufactured Sand; Self-compacting concrete; Workability; Compressive strength; Literature review; etc…

[1] This literature papers deals with – (1) use of waste material in concrete (2) Partial replacement of waste material with fine aggregate in SCC (3) tests of fresh and hardened properties of SCC made with that materials.

[2] Using crushed sand, river sand, and mixture of both sand slump flow increases v-funnel time increased. Increasing the limestone fines content up to 10–15%, improved the compressive strength of mortar. For higher limestone fines content, the compressive strength decreased gradually.

[3] Manufactured sand (Msand) produced by crushing rock deposits used for making SCC. The results of J- ring test revealed that aggregate characteristics also influence the passing ability of SCC. The compressive strength of mixes developed in this study ranged from 25 MPa to 60 MPa.

[4] The F.A. replaced by crushed seashells has slightly decreased the fluidity of self-compacting mortars. The flow recorded for the mortars containing 100% crushed sea- shells, was 610 mm. A very lighter decrease of compressive strength noticed.

Abstract: In ceramic industry about 5-10% production goes as waste in various processes while manufacturing. (This waste percentage goes down if the technology is installed in the new units.) This waste of Ceramic Industries dumped at nearby places resulting in environmental pollution causing effect to habitant and agricultural lands. Therefore using of ceramic waste powder in concrete would benefit in many ways in saving energy & protecting the environment. The cost of deposition of ceramic waste in landfills will be saved. An attempt has been made to study the behavior of SCC with ceramic waste powder and understands the effect of the mineral admixtures on fresh & hardened properties of SCC and also investigates the compatibility of ceramic waste powders in SCC along with chemical admixture such as super plasticizers.

Abstract:Lack of quality control and errors during building process in the Maldives has resulted in poor construction implementation and planning towards sustainable buildings in the resorts. Attainment of acceptable level of quality in the construction industry has long been a problem. Great expenditure of time, money and resources, both human and materials are wasted each year because of inefficient or nonexistent quality management procedures. The manufacturing industry in Japan has developed TQM concepts and in recent years many other countries have abided TQM. These concepts have increased productivity, decreased product cost and improved product reliability.

Abstract: Every passing year hybrid electric vehicles are becoming popular. After so much improved result it seems to be one of the potential solutions of global problems like global warming, rise in fuel prices, pollution etc. Due to various non linear parameters which are included in developing hybrid electric vehicles many a time to develop and achieve this new emerging technology, its analytical procedure is time consuming and it requires simplifying assumption. One practical alternative to analytical and empirical method that is easy and more accurate is Artificial Neural Network (ANN). For modeling complex real world problem in many discipline, Artificial Neural Network have emerged as computational modeling tool.

Abstract: Nations economy is invariably a dependent factor of infrastructure and industrialization advancement as both the parameters goes hand in hand. Development of roads are part and parcel of infrastructure development as they play a major role in making more vibrant economy. In the process of constructing road projects, pavement engineers often face acute paucity of good soil with much required geotechnical characteristics. But for the structural safety of flexible pavements it is indispensable to modify the quality of ground soil. This modification stimulates a wide variety of index and engineering properties of poor soil though it shoots up the overall project cost. However on the flipside, this very rapid industrialization also results in the accumulation of industrial wastes and subsequent problems associated with their disposal.

Abstract: Every day, we depend on the health, social, economic and environmental benefits that clean and safe water provides. In order to continue to enjoy these benefits, we must construct a sustainable water infrastructure. Water supply with considerations for quality requirements is important irrespective of the source type, so that the intended benefits of improved water supplies can be achieved. Both boreholes and pipe borne water supply facilities used for drinking water supplies can deliver contaminated water, if adequate quality provisions are not effectively considered. Damage of water supply and/or sewage disposal infrastructures poses the immediate threat of severe epidemics of waterborne diseases, some of which can be life-threatening. There are fourteen (14) Water Supply Schemes spread across the State, but only Jalingo and Ibi - Wukari were operational.

Abstract: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a hopeful alternative fuel as well as fuel additive to improve performance and emissions in CI engine, due to its lower carbon content and less knocking tendencies. CNG and Diesel dual fuel operation is regarded as one of the best ways to control emissions from diesel engines and simultaneously saving petroleum-based diesel fuel. Dual fuel engine is a conventional diesel engine which burn either gaseous fuel or diesel or both at the same time. This paper presents an experimental study on the effects of CNG substitutions on the performance and emission characteristics of CI engine. In the present work, experimental investigations were carried out by inducting CNG into the combustion chamber in conjunction with air as CNG –Diesel dual fuel mode.
