This paper presents an experimental study on the nature of permeation properties and pore structure of concrete surface layers containing fly ash. Concretes containing different dosages of fly ash as a replacement for cement (15% and 30% by weight of total cement materials, respectively) were investigated. Concrete without any fly ash added was also employed as the reference specimen. Laborator...

Three concrete mix proportions were designed and prepared, respectively, such as fly ash concrete (abbreviated as “FAC”) with 30% fly ash replacement ratio of cement, fly ash, and slag concrete (abbreviated as “FSC”) with each of 20% fly ash and slag replacement ratio and ordinary Portland cement concrete (abbreviated as “OPC”) for the research of carbonation and chloride resistance of concrete...

The present work aims to assess the water quality index (WQI) of Manyad Storage tank, Aurangabad district, Maharashtra, India. surface sample were assessed for physico-chemical parameters namely pH, Electrical Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solid, Hardness, Bicarbonate, Chlorides, Sulphates, Nitrates, Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Fluoride in post-monsoon season 2020. For calculating...

both climate change and anthropogenic impact are creating a dynamic of continuous changes in ecosystems. while the expected consequences of these changes are global, the occurrence of extreme events and specific environmental problems are usually local or regional phenomenon. in particular, the coastal ecosystems are among the first vulnerable areas to show those changes; in spite of this, are...

An easy and efficient method to obtain Schiff bases of [2-(2-substituted-phenyl)-3-(4-{1-[2-(1Htetrazol-5-yl)-biphenyl-4-ylmethyl])-1H benzoimidazol-2-yl}-phenyl)thiazolidin-4-one] using different aromatic aldehydes. Reaction mixture of Schiff base (0.01 mol) and mercaptoacetic acid (0.05 mol) dissolved in dioxane (50 ml), anhydrous zinc chloride (0.008 mol) was added and refluxed for 12 hrs. T...

With a mean precipitation rate, much lower than that of the world, Iran is among the countries that face severe water challenges. The present study has dealt with the evaluation of hydrochemistry of Faryab spring water in Hormozgan Province, Iran. Four different composite water samples have been analyzed to detect major anions, cations, total dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, pH, and s...

The intensity of prompt gamma-ray was measured at various depths from chlorine-contaminated silica fume (SF) concrete slab concrete specimens using portable neutron generator-based prompt gamma-ray setup. The intensity of 6.11MeV chloride gamma-rays was measured from the chloride contaminated slab at distance of 15.25, 20.25, 25.25, 30.25 and 35.25cm from neutron target in a SF cement concrete ...

Cementitious matrices are the fragile materials that possess a low tensile strength. The addition of fibers randomly distributed in these matrices improves their resistance to cracking, substantially. However, the incorporation of fibers into a plain concrete disrupts the granular skeleton and quickly causes problems of mixing as a result of the loss of mixture workability that will be translat...

Textile dye industry waste is one of the most serious problems in the environment. The dye wastes are severely deleterious to surface water bodies. The present study was an attempt for the assessment of different physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ...

The main building material that can’t be ignored even it’s weak in tension and lead to various environmental problems during production is concrete. Properties of concrete can enhanced using fibre Using from waste plastic some percentage increases strength as well durability solve disposal environment. From electronic Polyvinyl chloride cables (PVC) are used polypropylene (PP) packing bag cemen...
