Strength estimation for high strength concrete incorporating metakaolin and strain measurement in prestressed high strength concrete beam with prestress losses estimation by using time step method

In this research work, an attempt has been made to study the effects of mineral admixtures by partial replacement to cement in terms of improved performance in compressive strength and durability of prestressed concrete.

Effect of Magnetic water on Engineering properties of Concrete

The most important challenge for concrete technologists is to improve the compressive strength of concrete and to get more workable concrete at less water .Most researchers concentrate on Aggregates, cement and admixtures.

Experimental Investigation of Ferrocement Panels under Impact load

For rapid growing residential and industrial sectors, advanced technology is required. Hence development of different materials of constructions, low cost housing and time saving construction methods are some of the different measures that research works and engineers have been attempting towards meeting this challenge.

An experimental study on PET bottle mattress as reinforcement on fly ash fills

The primary study aims to prove that the behavior of fly ash subjected to vertical loading with varying size of the footing plates and to examine compression behavior of plastic bottle mattress by varying the ratio of diameter of cell aperture to aggregate size and also to decide the ratio of diameter of plastic bottle filled with aggregate to width of the footing for achieving highest possible stability and reliability under vertical loading.
