Ferrocement composites have uniform distribution and high surface area to volume ratio of reinforcement, which identifies them as a good strengthening material for use in structural applications. Because of these properties, they are considered as a substitution for some conventional structural strengthening methods. In this study, ten reinforced concrete (RC) beams of size 1220 mm × 100 mm × 150 mm were strengthened with ferrocement composites using a galvanized square weld, having volume fractions of 1.76% and 2.35%. For this study, ferrocement composites with mortar 1:2, w/c 0.4, and steel slag, with a 30% weight fraction of fine aggregate, are considered. The experimental results showed that the first crack load and the ultimate load are higher for RC beams strengthened with ferrocement having a volume fraction of 2.35% (Vr) and a steel slag replacement of 30%. Theoretical predictions were made based on the elastic moment approach; the ratio between the prediction to experimental moment capacity ranges between 0.99 and 1.04. The outcomes show that ferrocement is an effective strengthening technique for deficient reinforced concrete members

The present work focused on the experimental study of the mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties of cement composite reinforced using Posidonia oceanica (PO) fibers. For this purpose, parallelepipedic specimens of dimensions 270 mm × 270 mm × 40 mm and cubic specimens of dimensions 150 mm × 150 mm × 150 mm were prepared with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.50 by varying the volume of fibers (Vf) from 0% to 20%. Properties such as compressive strength, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, standardized level difference and sound transmission class were examined. The compressive strength of the specimens was determined using the rebound hammer test, while the thermal measurements were performed with the steady-state box method. The results showed that the addition of PO fibers improved the compressive strength of the mixtures and produced a maximum value of 33.60 MPa for a 10% volume of fiber content. Thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity decreased significantly with the addition of fibers for all the mixtures. The experimental investigation also showed that the sound transmission class of PO-fiber-reinforced cementitious composites decreased as the fiber volume increased due to an increase in air voids in the mixtures.

Solar parks are well-defined areas developed in the high solar potential area, with the required infrastructure to minimize the potential threat for the developers. Land occupancy is a major concern for the solar park. The government policy mostly emphasizes the use of waste-degraded land for solar parks. In a competitive energy market, any attempt to use waste-degraded land parcels, without policy regulatory support, can bring large-scale disruptions in the quality and cost of power. The present study investigates the potential of using waste degraded land, with a focus on the impact on the cost of generation and decision making. The study investigates the possibility of including the cost of the externalities in the overall cost economics, through policy and regulatory interventions. Data related to India has been considered in the present analysis. Results show that there are less socio-economic and ecological impacts in using wastelands, compared to land, in urban-semi urban areas with an opportunity cost. Thus, the policy and regulatory interventions could promote wasteland utilization and lure favorable decision-making on investments.

Technological advancements in electronic storage have been trending for cloud computing. The revolution of this computer technology with machine learning and artificial intelligence has created prodigious platforms to the various disciplines of science and technology. Civil engineering is the oldest discipline, and due to the never-ending demand of this domain, it is rapidly adapting to newer computer techniques like image processing, deep learning, big data analysis, neural networks, building information modeling (BIM), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, digital image correlation (DIC), and many more. In the current paper, we portrayed the primary research and achievements of AI and image processing applications in the civil domain. The paper is divided in two parts. The first part provides analysis of existing methods along with examples relevant to the civil domain where it is incorporated. The second part elaborates scientometric study constituting 605 documents (Science Direct database) published in the last two decades. The bibliometrics are further used for producing analytical frameworks based on publications, citations, top journals, top institutions, and funding sources. This study serves as a guide for readers to identify research gaps and use the review for potential future study.

Increased industrialization demand using synthetic dyes in the newspaper, cosmetics, textiles, food, and leather industries. As a consequence, harmful chemicals from dye industries are released into water reservoirs with numerous structural components of synthetic dyes, which are hazardous to the ecosystem, plants and humans. The discharge of synthetic dye into various aquatic environments has a detrimental effect on the balance and integrity of ecological systems. Moreover, numerous inorganic dyes exhibit tolerance to degradation and repair by natural and conventional processes. So, the present condition requires the development of efficient and effective waste management systems that do not exacerbate environmental stress or endanger other living forms. Numerous biological systems, including microbes and plants, have been studied for their ability to metabolize dyestuffs. To minimize environmental impact, bioremediation uses endophytic bacteria, which are plant beneficial bacteria that dwell within plants and may improve plant development in both normal and stressful environments. Moreover, Phytoremediation is suitable for treating dye contaminants produced from a wide range of sources. This review article proves a comprehensive evaluation of the most frequently utilized plant and microbes as dye removal technologies from dye-containing industrial effluents. Furthermore, this study examines current existing technologies and proposes a more efficient, cost-effective method for dye removal and decolorization on a big scale. This study also aims to focus on advanced degradation techniques combined with biological approaches, well regarded as extremely effective treatments for recalcitrant wastewater, with the greatest industrial potential.

The development of self-compacting concrete using alternative materials is expanding in recent years due to the technical and economic benefits of the mixture. This study focuses on the structural and compositional behavior of sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-activated fly ash based self-compacting concrete (SCC). Fly ash was partially replaced with Ordinary Portland Cement from 0–30%. The tests performed on concrete samples include workability, strength, microstructural, and impact resistance. The results showed that activated fly ash reduces the heat of the hydration process of the concrete mixture but enhances pozzolanic reactions, which led to increased strength properties. The addition of activated fly ash modifies the mineralogy of the concrete, as evident in strength characteristics. The best performance of the activated fly ash based SCC, in terms of strength, was found at 10–15% substitutions, which can somewhat reduce the cost of production of SCC and strength improvement advantage.

This study evaluated the durability properties of self-compacting concrete made with recycled aggregate for pavement application. The developed mixture was subjected to permeability, water absorption, and chloride penetration tests, and obtained results were compared with those of normal pavement concrete. Three recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) replacement percentages at the rate of 20%, 40%, and 60% were considered in addition to the control concrete (0%). A grade M40 grade ternary blended concrete with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash, and silica fume was designed. The fresh properties of the concrete - slump flow and V-funnel flow tests were determined. The results showed that a mixture containing up to 40% RCA had higher resistance to water absorption and chloride ingress than a similar mixture for normal-weight concrete.

Despite several studies focusing on producing sustainable concrete with nonconventional materials, there are short-term and long-term lapses in behavior of some of the concretes. This study, with a main focus on durability performance, explores strength and behavior of manufactured sand concrete containing alcofine and zinc oxide in severe environmental conditions. Alcofine and zinc oxide were added to the mixture at 10% and 2% by weight of cement, respectively. Manufactured Sand was used as a partial replacement for river sand at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete were determined after standard curing regimes. Durability tests, entailing exposure of concrete to acid attack, sea water, water absorption, sulphate attack, water permeability and rapid chloride penetration, were also performed. The results show that mixture made with 50% manufactured sand 10 %Alccofine and 0.5% Zinc oxide replacement, demonstrated better durability.
