  • Flexural behavior of reinforced geo-polymer concrete beams at ambient temperature
    Muthusamy Saradha, Thaniarasu Ilango, Shanmugam Annamalai, Krishnamurthy Muthumani
    Pollack Periodica, 2023
    An experimental study was carried out on geo-polymer and reinforced concrete beams to evaluate the flexural behavior of the beams for the structural grade of M30 concrete. The results show that the geo-polymer concrete beams exhibit similar flexural strength when compared to reinforced concrete beams. The split tensile strength, stiffness characters, the energy capacity and ductility relationship were also found with satisfactory results. The deflection and the stiffness degradation at the salient stages were found to be similar and thus the geo-polymer concrete beams find a good alternative to reinforced concrete beams under flexural behavior.

    The total amount of solid trash produced in India is 160038.9 TPD, according to the Annual Report on Solid Waste Management (2020–21), CPCB, Delhi. Out of which, Tamil Nadu created 13422 TPD of solid waste, of which 9430.35 TPD was processed, and 2301.04 TPD was landfilled. The researchers have been forced to look at alternative processes and materials for the manufacturing of construction materials utilizing processed municipal solid waste ash (PMSWA) due to the increased demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable products. This research work focused on the replacement of fine aggregate by (0%, 10%, 30% and 50%) Processed Municipal Solid Waste Ash (PMSWA) in the Solid Blocks. This research enhances the sustainable material development in the construction industry. SEM study showed that specimens with CTR do not have any cracking on their fracture surfaces, unlike samples without CTR. This study examines the material’s physical characteristics, including its mechanical attributes like compressive strength and flexural strength as well as its chemical composition using XRF. It demonstrates that the substitution or addition of PMSWA to construction materials is appropriate, cost-effective, and safe.

    The demand for natural aggregates (river sand) is increasing day by day, leading to the destruction of the environment, a burden that will be passed on to young people. Further, wastes from various industries are being dumped in landfills, which poses serious environmental problems. In order to ensure sustainability, both the issues mentioned above can be solved by utilizing industrial waste as aggregate replacement in the concrete construction industry. This research is done to find out the results using two substances viz., waste foundry sand (WFS) and coconut shell (CS) substitute for river sand and coarse aggregate. Many researchers have found the maximum benefits of substituted substances used in cement, which has material consistency. This current observation explores these strong waste properties of waste-infused concrete and cement, which experience shrinkage from drying out. The replacement levels for waste foundry sand were varied, between 10%, 20%, and 30%, and for CS, it was 10% and 20%. The experimental outcomes are evident for the strength, which increases by using WFS, whereas the strength decreases by increasing the CS level. The concrete that experiences shrinkage from drying out is included in the waste material, showing a higher magnitude of drying shrinkage than conventional concrete.
  • Soil stabilization using raw plastic bottle
    P. R. Kalyana Chakravarthy, S. Banupriya, T. Ilango
    Aip Conference Proceedings, 2020
    This is about a statement that the physical properties of soil easily improved by the process of soil stabilization like bearing capacity and increasing shear strength that controlled by certain things like addition of suitable admixtures or compaction like lime, cement, and fly ash, phosphogypsum waste materials etc. The following years there is an drastic hike in the cost of additives to open door broad development particularly which deals with soil additives like bamboo, plastics so and so. It is easy to challenge the society using this soil stabilization technique that can reduce the waste quantity, useful materials can be produced from non-useful waste materials leads to use the plastic products like bottles and polythene bags. This creates lot of environmental concerns that automatically increases day by day. The plastic waste’s disposal becomes a challenge and it should not cause any ecological hazards. The main economical utilization is to use the plastic bottles as a soil stabilizer that mat have a quality soil for embankments. This paper is about a short study on the use of waste plastic bottles for soil stabilization. It is analysed as per by the process of conducting engineering property and index property.
