Abstract: This paper work deals with the Compressed-air engine as a pneumatic actuator that converts one form of energy into another. The Air Driven Engine is an eco-friendly engine which operates with compressed air. This Engine uses the expansion of compressed air to drive the pistons of the engine. An Air Driven Engine is a pneumatic actuator that creates useful work by expanding compressed air. There is no mixing of fuel with air as there is no combustion. An Air Driven Engine makes use of Compressed Air Technology for its operation The Compressed Air Technology is quite simple. If we compress normal air into a cylinder the air would hold some energy within it. This energy can be utilized for useful purposes........

Abstract: With the increase in population, the demand of river sand for construction is increasing at a very rapid pace. If sand is continuously extracted from rivers it would lead to severe damage to rivers and in turn reducing the filtration property of river that reduces the quality of water available. River sand is available in scare amount, thus to fulfill the demand of construction industry, an alternative material must be proposed which help prevent the environmental causes associated with the river. Quarry dust can be used for this purpose. Quarry dust being non-biodegradable material..........

Abstract: The invention of Geo-polymers has paved the way for construction industry to use Fly ash based Geo-Polymer Concrete with 100 % replacement of cement. Substantial experimental research has been conducted ever since on Geo-Polymer concrete which can prove to the sustainable construction material of the future. This paper reviews various materials used for manufacturing this concrete such as alkaline liquids, fly ash, aggregates and super-plasticizers. The experimental investigations conducted by various researchers on the aspects such as mix design, curing etc. and their impact on properties of Geo-polymer concrete has also been reported. Finally, concluding remarks and suggestions regarding the applications of Geo-polymer concrete are delineated at the end.

Abstract: Large tellurium inclusions in the matrix of as-grown cadmium manganese telluride (CdMnTe) crystals limit their ability to detect X-rays and gamma-rays at high resolutions. CdMnTe has potential applications in high-resolution nuclear and radiological detection at room-temperature. Defects associated with tellurium inclusions trap charges generated when CdMnTe detectors are irradiated with X-rays and gamma rays. This degrades the charge transport properties of the detectors and reduces lifetime of the charge carriers, which results in poor performance by the detector. Post-growth thermal annealing is often used to remove tellurium inclusions from the CdMnTe matrix.........

Abstract: Most of the previous research focused on either behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with openings [1] or shear behavior of RC beam-column joints [2]; however, very limited studies tackled the behavior of RC beam-column joints with nearby beam web openings. In this paper, the influence of a nearby RC beam web opening properties (i.e. aspect ratio and location) on the behavior (i.e. cracking pattern, failure mode, stiffness degradation, steel reinforcement strain, energy dissipation, load displacement envelope, strength, and ductility) of an RC beam-column joint are being investigated. In addition, the effect of different additional reinforcement around the opening was investigated. Concluding remarks were outlined

Abstract: In past few years civil engineering industry is on boom due to fact that, India is being the developing country many new projects start day by day which needs to be completed in given time scenario. The major factor for completion of projects is designing and implementation which helps the structure to be stand still for 100 of years. In this paper, we have presented our new approach for Automation of design process using Etabs, Microsoft Excel and AutoCAD. We have firstly designed the structure and simulate by applying various loads in Etabs software. The combination of values which gives us best result by performing no. of iterations are exported to MS Excel and further processing of exported.............

Abstract: In developing countries where concrete is widely used, the high and steadily increasing cost of concrete has made construction very expensive. The production of concrete requires various materials like Cement, Fine aggregate and Coarse Aggregate .Due to extensively use of concrete which lead to an increase in cost of materials. Therefore an alternate material is used for partial replacement of Fine aggregate and coarse aggregate in concrete. This project is experimented to reduce the cost of concrete. In this research work experiments have been conducted with collection of materials required and the data required for mix design are obtained by sieve analysis and specific gravity............
