Development of an Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective Biogrout for Concrete Crack Repair Final Report

Development of an Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective Biogrout for Concrete Crack Repair tech transfer summary

Cement-based materials have often been used for infrastructure construction and repair. The production of conventional Portland cement is energy-consuming and environmentally unfriendly. For example, production of one ton of Portland cement generates approximately one ton of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from calcining limestone and fuel use. It is estimated that cement production contributes 7% of to...

A Study on Eco Friendly Cost Effective Earthbag House Construction

The weakest specimens showed maximum compressive strengths ranging from 115 kN/m to 135 kN/m. The lowest load deformation response was observed for the Gf 9 specimen group, at 0.7 kN/mm. The strongest and stiffest results were observed for the 3-bag soil-filled specimen, with load deformation responses ranging from 8 kN/mm to 15 kN/mm, and compressive strength ranging from 1100 kN/m to 1300 kN/...

Preservation of bagasse by an alternative cost-effective and eco-friendly approach

A practicable, cost-effective and eco-friendly protocol of bagasse preservation for six months has been evolved. It envisages exposure of 4 ppm ozone once per month on 200 kg bagasse covered with polythene sheet. It afforded substantial (87%) reduction of bacterial, fungal and yeast count, concomitantly retaining initial properties of fiber, largely arresting degradation of cellulose and hemi-c...
