Abstract

Annually 5.6 million tonnes of FVW are produced in India. Anaerobic digestion (AD) holds the potential of generating renewable energy from this organic waste. Therefore, an attempt has been made to optimize inoculum to substrate (I/S) ratio via biochemical methane potential (BMP) of FVW using two different types of inoculums viz. anaerobic sludge and a mixture of anaerobic sludge and cow dung in (1:1) ratio. Different (I/S) ratios selected for the study were 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6. Results indicated that anaerobic sludge (AS) along with cow dung (CD) at a (1:1) ratio performed better than AS alone. The highest cumulative biogas yield was obtained at (I/S) ratio 0.3 for AS+CD (1:1) ratio, which is equivalent to 468.82 ml/g VS. On the other hand, the biogas yield using only AS was found to be 459.49ml /g VS. The highest methane content was obtained as 64% and 61.2%, for inoculums AS+CD and AS, respectively. Performance analysis portrayed volatile solids (VS) reductions of 74% and 68% for (AS+CD) and AS, respectively. The kinetic parameters of AD were studied by the modified Gompertz model (MGM) and the first-order kinetic model. The experimental data fitted well with the MGM model.

Abstract

Treatment of organic waste has gain importance in the last decade due to stringent environmental laws. Fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) is potent substrate to be utilized for the recover energy via anaerobic digestion, a sustainable approach for the waste to energy transformation. Co-digestion of FVW and anaerobic sludge (AS) was explored in batch anaerobic digestion for a retention time of 31 days. Mixing ratio of (AS:FVW) 25:75 claimed 22% and 43% higher biogas yield as compared to 50:50 and 75: 25 ratio, respectively. Highest methane yield of 62% which is equivalent to 275.9 NmL/g VS was observed for (AS:FVW) 25:75 ratio. Further, application of microwave (MW) treatment enhanced the solubilization of the feedstock and rendered 10% higher methane yield as compared to untreated (AS:FVW) 25:75 ratio at operating power of 300W. Performance analysis indicated highest VS reduction of 77% for MW-treated FVW at optimal ratio of FVW and AS. Kinetic modelling was done, and experimental data fts well to the frst-order model as compared to modifed Gompertz model. Rate constant at optimal ratio with microwave pre-treatment was found to be 0.111, while the value for untreated optimal ratio was found as 0.1085

Abstract

Over the past years, uncontrolled population explosion coupled with an upsurge in the living standard of the people has led to a rise in the generation of municipal solid waste and energy consumption per capita. This has also increased the energy crisis and carbon footprint on the environment. Anaerobic digestion is a mature and sustainable technology for recovering energy from biomass, which can reduce the burden on municipal communities. Hydrolysis and acidogenesis are the ratelimiting steps in anaerobic digestion (AD), which needs to be improved to facilitate quick digestion of the highly biodegradable organic waste such as and fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) and food waste. Optimization of the operating parameters of hydrolysis and acidogensis, particularly for the treatment of FVW, has not been studied in detail so far. Therefore, in our present study, an attempt has been made to optimize the infuence of environmental parameters such as pH and solid-to-liquid (S/L) ratio on VFA and chemical oxygen demand of the leachate through batch test. Infuence of adding waste activated sludge toward enzymatic hydrolysis was also studied. The optimum pH and S/L ratio were found to be 6 and 7%, respectively, for the frst phase of AD. Solubilization rate constant (k) for hydrolysis and acidifcation of FVW was found as 0.1785 d−1. Improving the degree of hydrolysis will enhance the VFA production, which is a precursor of the methanogenesis step, thus enhancing the overall process efciency of AD. Hydrolysis rate was found to increase from 44 to 83%.

Abstract

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a mature technology for treating organic fraction of municipal solid waste. In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the optimum mixing ratio for co-digestion of two main streams of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) i.e., fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) with food waste (FW) and its efect on biogas yield using single-stage anaerobic digester. The diferent ratios selected for the study were (FVW:FW) (1:1, 1:2, 2:1). The results indicated that (FVW:FW) in the ratio (1:2) gave the highest cumulative biogas yield (510.96 mL/g VS) in comparison to (1:1) (472.2 mL/g VS) and (2:1) (420.5 mL/g VS) ratio, whereas Mono digestion of FVW and FW gave cumulative biogas yield of 429.16 mL/g VS and 393 mL/g VS, respectively. The co-digestion of FVW and FW contributed to the digester’s stability, which improved operation of AD and increased biogas production. The methane content in the digesters was increased from 35 to 67% with the time. The co-digestion of FVW and FW at optimal mix ratio yields 21% higher methane content as compared to mono-digestion of FVW. Performance analysis indicated a volatile solid reduction of 72% at the optimum mix ratio.

Abstract

The depletion of fossil fuels coupled with stringent environmental laws has encouraged us to develop sustainable renewable energy. Due to its numerous benefts, anaerobic digestion (AD) has emerged as an environment-friendly technology. Biogas generated during AD is primarily a mixture of CH4 (65–70%) and CO2 (20–25%) and a potent energy source that can combat the energy crisis in today’s world. Here, an attempt has been made to provide a broad understanding of AD and delineate the efect of various operational parameters infuencing AD. The characteristics of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) and its feasibility as a potent substrate for AD have been studied. This review also covers traditional challenges in managing FVW via AD, the implementation of various bioreactor systems to manage large amounts of organic waste and their operational boundaries, microbial consortia involved in each phase of digestion, and various strategies to increase biogas production.

Abstract

Post-consumer plastic water bottles are foremost source behind the adverse effects on animals and the ambient environment as majority of quantity are dumped without being recycled or reused owing to a lack of awareness or infrastructure. This study explored the possible reuse of such post-consumer plastic water bottles as an admixture for altering the soil subgrade properties. The extent of replacement and sizes of waste material are the key aspects for improving the geotechnical parameters. So, this study focused on investigating the impact of plastic waste content and size through standard compaction, California Bearing Ratio (soaked and unsoaked), expansion ratio, and resilient modulus on stabilized soil subgrade. The series of experiments were conducted by varying the plastic waste content with 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1% of dry soil and two different sizes of waste strips with aspect ratios 2 and 4. It was discovered that adding plastic waste noticeably improves the behavior of stabilized soil subgrade under extreme conditions. Among the various combinations, laboratory test result of mix with 0.4% plastic content and strips with width 5 mm and length 10 mm shows the significant improvement in strength properties. Thus, this research provides an important approach to use waste plastic bottles for the construction of subgrade in order to lessen harmful impact of waste plastic bottles on living organisms and environment.

Abstract

In recent decades, changes in lifestyle, industrialization, urbanization, migration, etc., affected the ecosystem of the earth due to the generation of postconsumer wastes. The amount of waste generation is leading to a huge challenge for the disposal of wastes. The direct dumping of wastes in water bodies and land created a major impact on ambient. A refined analysis was carried out based on studies available on the effect of natural and synthetic waste materials on the geotechnical properties of soils. This paper presents the review of various types of wastes used as an admixture with soil and its behavior. Looking to the problem of waste dumping, one of the potential use of wastes in developing country is to utilize wastes in ground improvement looking to the large-scale infrastructure construction. The addition of wastes in different amount, form, etc., shows the significant modification in the properties of virgin soil.

Abstract

Massive property damage and loss of life have resulted from flooding, which is a common occurrence in many regions of the world, particularly in the developing world. A flood occurs when water from a stream or river overflows its banks and submerges normally dry terrain. Future development and flood mitigation methods rely heavily on understanding flooding behavior and hydraulic features of rivers. The main objective of the research is to simulate the flood event for Lower Narmada River Basin and develop inundation maps. A hydraulic model was utilized in this research to examine a variety of physical variables that are critical to water movement in the river. A digital elevation model (DEM) was used for geometry data generation in ArcGIS, a Geographical Information System (GIS) program, is used to segment the research region for the hydraulic model. Because of this, it makes use of a hydraulic model developed by Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC-RAS). HEC-GeoRAS is an intermediary module that allows data to be migrated between ArcGIS and HEC-RAS. Flood inundation maps are generated by adding flow data into a model once the necessary geometrical and hydraulic structural data have been gathered and compiled as needed. As a result of hydraulic modeling, flood depth and velocity are also determined. It is necessary to consider flood inundation, depth, and velocity statistics in order to identify flood-prone regions. By using the information from this study, we may better prepare for floods by building an embankment, a flood wall, and other flood mitigation measures. Hydrologists and water resources engineers may utilize the results and findings to plan and develop using the HEC-RAS model, which has excellent performance.

Abstract

The enormous population growth brings some environmental concerns due to the need for exploitation of natural resources, and the implementation of recycling programmes is a fundamental element for achieving sustainable development. Natural well-graded readily draining granular materials such as sand are commonly employed as filling materials for various geotechnical structures. But, because of the shortage of perfect granular materials, the researchers were forced to look into other options. However, because granular material is in high demand, unlawful sand dredging from riverbeds is becoming more popular. The construction sector generates a huge amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in India and other areas of the world, which is created by operations such as demolition, excavation, site preparation and other activities. The paper highlights the possibility of using CDW as a sustainable reinforced backfill material for retaining walls. The geotechnical properties of CDW, soil and mixture of both were determined and observed that it meets the requirements of backfill material for retaining walls. Further, the numerical studies were conducted to study the static and dynamic behaviour of retaining walls with an optimum dosage of CDW in soil for backfill, using a finite element (FE) analysis GEO5 software. The paper emphasises the potential application of CDW as a sustainable reinforced backfill material for retaining walls in dynamic condition.

Abstract

India requires a large landfill area for the disposal of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) generated during maintenance, renovation, or destruction of different structures. India produces millions of tonnes of C&DW and the capacity for recycling is less than 2 percent. As a result, India must establish a strategy for reducing, reusing, and recycling C&DW. This study presents the efficacy for use of C&DW as a reinforced material to be mixed with backfill soil in retaining walls. Various index and engineering properties of soil and C&DW, including compaction parameters, and shear parameters are determined and compared for different C&DW and soil proportions. The compaction tests and triaxial compression test showed that the best results are achieved with 37.5% replacement of soil by C&DW. When 37.5% of soil is replaced by C&DW, the Optimum moisture content and maximum dry unit weight values were observed to be increased by 6.95% and 2.06%, respectively, while the cohesion decreased by 30.35% and the internal friction angle increased by 85.44%. The study emphasizes the potential application of C&DW as a reinforcing material in the backfill of the retaining walls.

Abstract

There is an extreme requirement for an evaluation of road condition because of having key role in many civilian and military applications, such as road maps, traffic monitoring, navigation applications, and topographic mapping. Failure in transport condition impacts on vehicular maintenance cost, increase in travel time, accident rate, economy of the city. Therefore, the road network needs continuous evaluation. SAR datasets provides an abundance of information as it has high penetration capacity. Various techniques for feature extraction has developed rapidly in the recent times. Information from SAR imagery such as intensity, phase, backscattering, polarization, etc. have used to identify features depending upon its incidence angle and dielectric constant. The tendency of the microwave signal is such that, the reflection of the signal is specular for the smooth surface and smooth road visualize very dark in radar image. In the case of crack on the road surface, microwave backscatter would observe very bright in the radar image. Thus, L-band (1.25 GHz) and S-band (3.20 GHz) may have capability to identify precise and irregular features. The aim of the study is to extract the road materials using L and S band Airborne SAR (CP) data having 7m resolution for Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and to investigate the suitability of L and S band airborne SAR data for the same.

Abstract

The fundamental natural period of oscillation is a critical parameter in evaluating the design base shear of buildings. Worldwide seismic design codes typically employ height-based empirical formulas to estimate this period for various building categories, without distinguishing between regular and irregular buildings. This study proposes a formula specifically for reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings with dominant re-entrant corner type plan irregularity. A total of 190 re-entrant corner dominant building models with different shapes (C-, L-, T-, and PLUS-type), heights, and floor configurations were prepared, and eigenvalue analysis (EVA) was conducted. The fundamental natural period of oscillation for each model was evaluated and compared with the height-based formulas from seismic design codes and the period–height relationship proposed in existing literature. A nonlinear regression model, using a multi-variable power function, is proposed to estimate the fundamental natural period for these re-entrant corner dominant building models. This model considers the A/L ratio in both directions of the building, along with its height. Both unconstrained and constrained regression analyses were performed to derive a formula that best fits the fundamental natural period data. The study recommends that the unconstrained best-fit minus one standard deviation curve can conservatively define the fundamental natural period of oscillation for re-entrant corner dominant RC building models. The equation defining this curve has the potential to replace the existing seismic design code-based period-height formula.

Abstract

Reinforced Concrete (RC) building stocks with plan and/or vertical irregularities are built routinely world-wide, despite being vulnerable to seismic forces. Irregular RC buildings with asymmetry, mass and stiffness irregularities have been well researched, however, seismic behaviour of RC building with re-entrant corner type plan irregularity is given relatively less attention. In the present study, a total of 104 re-entrant corner dominant plan irregular RC building models (C-, L-, T- and PLUS-shaped) are developed along with one regular rectangular building. Plan Irregularity Descriptors (PIDs) are summarized with their limit of regularity and are evaluated for building models. Building models have uni-directional and bi-directional re-entrant corner of 𝐴/𝐿 ratio ranging between 0.1 to 0.8 in the X-direction and between 0.2 to 0.8 in the Y-direction. Seismic response quantities; peak displacement, peak storey drift, normalized base shear and normalized overturning moments are evaluated using the equivalent static method and response spectrum method specified by the Indian seismic code. It has been found that building models yield amplified peak displacement responses in the direction perpendicular to that of applied seismic forces. Other seismic response parameters for all re-entrant RC building models fall well within code based permissible limits. 𝐴/𝐿 ratio limit specified by the Indian seismic code is found to be conservative. Out of various building models considered, C-shaped building models perform well under seismic forces, while PLUS-, L- and T-shaped RC building models with 𝐴/𝐿 ratio ≥ 0.4, in both directions, overshoot torsional irregularity descriptor, ∆𝑚𝑎𝑥 ∆𝑎𝑣𝑔 .

Abstract

Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings with irregularities, plan and vertical, are susceptible to seismic damage. Such buildings are constructed due to functional, space and aesthetic considerations. Most practical irregular RC buildings have coupled irregularities: plan or vertical or mixed. The seismic behavior of coupled irregular RC buildings is an active area of research. In the present paper, five RC building models with coupled reentrant corners and vertical geometric irregularities are developed along with the regular RC building model. L-shaped and stepped-shaped reentrant corners type plan irregularity is coupled with vertical geometric irregularity by changing plan dimension at each floor level of RC building models. Building models are analyzed for seismic forces following the Indian seismic design code. Seismic parameters-peak base shear, peak displacement, peak interstory drift ratio, modal analysis, normalized base shear and normalized overturning moment-are extracted. It is found that peak displacement and peak interstory drift ratio of coupled irregular building models shows a substantial increase vis-a-vis regular building models. Normalized base shear and normalized overturning moment increase for all coupled irregular building models, except building model BM-3, as compared to the regular building model.

Abstract

The assessment of soil erosion holds paramount significance in sustainable land management and environmental conservation. In this context, the integration of advanced technologies such as the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), Google Earth Engine (GEE), and geospatial techniques presents a formidable approach for evaluating soil erosion dynamics. This integrated methodology proves particularly valuable when applied to the Rel River watershed, where factors such as terrain, land use, and precipitation patterns intricately influence erosion processes. The collective use of two methods, the quantitative method focused on RUSLE to assess soil under various circumstances of erosion and sediment yield, whereas the qualitative approach focused on spectral indices of soil erosion in GEE to generate degradation map. This study was aimed at evaluating soil erosion and land degradation across the Rel River watershed in the western region of Gujarat, India. Soil loss has been estimated using soil loss models, i.e., RUSLE and geoinformation datasets, which were extracted from GEE. The degraded area was prepared using GEE and mapped using geographical information system (GIS). The results demonstrate that estimated value for erosion due to rainfall is 37 to 40 MJ mm h−1 ha−1 year−1, soil erodibility is 0.01 to 0.05 ton h MJ−1 mm−1, topographic variables lies in a range from 0 to 20, and crop management factor is 0.001 to 1. The findings also demonstrate that the total annual soil loss for flood events in 2017 is 35.36 t/ha/year, which is categorized into the severe zone of degradation. According to the soil degradation map created using GEE, the majority of the study region falls into the low and medium degradation zones, while the northeastern part and river fall into the high degradation zone. The findings will be helpful in implementing soil management and conservation techniques to arrest soil erosion in the Rel River watershed.

Identification of significant financial performance indicators for the Indian construction companies

Journal

Journal NameInternational Journal of Construction Management

Despite globalisation bringing diverse opportunities for construction firms from developing countries, executing international construction projects entails many risks. Several past studies illustrate the risks faced by firms in international construction projects and recommend various risk mitigation measures without revealing their effect on project success criteria. In order to fill this knowledge gap, this study aims to test the influence of identified risk mitigation measures on project success criteria. To achieve this, nine risk mitigation measures and three project success criteria—cost performance, schedule performance and firm’s performance—were identified through a literature review. After verifying the identified risk mitigation measures and project success criteria with a preliminary study, a questionnaire was administered to experts who possess adequate knowledge in international construction projects. The collected data from 105 questionnaires were analyzed, grouped and modelled using factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM). Application of factor analysis to identify the correlated risk mitigation measures extracted three risk mitigation factors, namely pre-project planning, local participation and contract selection. Furthermore, the influence of risk mitigation factors on project success criteria is hypothesized and tested using SEM. Amongst the identified risk mitigation factors, local participation emerges as the most influencing factor on project success criteria followed by contract selection and pre-project planning. The generated model would enable construction firms from India and similar developing countries to focus on identified risk mitigation factors to achieve improved project success criteria and project management success.

Abstract

Purpose The study of the success factors of a project is a means of improving the effectiveness of the project. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to identify various determinants and validate their effects on the success of public construction projects in Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a questionnaire survey to collect data and structural equation modeling (SEM) to empirically examine the effect of determinants, namely, project manager’s competence, owner’s competence, management support and updates, scope clarity (SC), effective partnering, and monitoring and feedback on success of public construction projects which has been measured by performance on cost, schedule, quality and no-dispute parameters. Out of 407 questionnaires distributed among the selected respondents, a total of 200 completed questionnaires were received. The response rate was 49.1 percent. Findings The results depict that the investigated factors have a significant positive influence on the success of public construction projects with path coefficient of 0.82, the model is substantial in representing the relationship of the factors on the success of public construction projects and the factor “SC” plays a decisive role in the success of a project as it has a path coefficient of 0.98, and it is followed by “effective partnership, and owner’s competency” having equal path coefficients of 0.96. Research limitations/implications The proposed model was validated by collecting data from many senior construction executives in Ethiopia only, hence may induce certain bias in the outcome of the study. Practical implications The significance of six constructs is highlighted to help the project manager in understanding the role of various constructs in public construction projects. The results would enable researchers and industry practitioners to focus on a few factors to take proactive measures and get the optimum result in the successful delivery of public construction projects. Utilization of SEM in the understanding of the significance of various success determinants is an important contribution to the body of theoretical literature in construction management. Since the model includes constructs, SEM has been used for construct validation. Social implications The implications of this study are not limited to researchers and construction industry practitioners alone. The Ethiopian Government could adopt the results of this study to reduce/avoid additional cost incurred due to the poor performance of public construction projects which results in poor utilization and increased social and economic costs. Furthermore, the study may also help the government efforts to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public funds for construction projects which are an ongoing concern of government and of the international development community. Originality/value This work is original and has neither been published nor under consideration for publication elsewhere. This study can add value to the construction professional in public construction project management as well as the Government of Ethiopia.

Abstract

Because of stiff competition in the construction business, it is necessary for construction companies to measure their performance on a regular interval for long-term survival. Therefore, it is imperative for construction companies to determine the parameters critical to the measurement of their performance. This study identifies the performance indicators, financial as well as non-financial, for construction companies to measure their performance. In a previous study, the authors identified a total of 20 performance attributes and applied principal component analysis which extracted six components called performance indicators. These performance indicators are profitability and asset management; key stakeholders’ satisfaction; time and cost predictability; environment, health, and safety; quality consciousness; and employee turnover. The present study utilized structural equation modelling (SEM) to determine the criticality of these performance indicators for which a questionnaire survey and structured interview approach were adopted. A total of 106 responses were collected from 90 different construction companies operating in various parts of India. The findings indicate that ‘quality consciousness’ is the most critical performance indicator whereas the ‘employee turnover’ is the least critical performance indicator in measuring the performance of a construction company. The performance indicators obtained from this study may help construction companies to measure and compare their performances with their competitors and setting out a strategy to remain competitive in the market.

This study presents a methodology for evaluating the walkability of roads within a market area using Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) techniques. The methodology was applied to rank various roads of the market area based on the existing condition of the pedestrian-built environment in Aminabad market, Lucknow, India. A set of 7 key attributes containing 28 sub-attributes were identified that influence pedestrian safety and mobility. Videography and photographic surveys were conducted at the market roads to gather data, and attribute weights were calculated using the Entropy Weight Method (EWM). The roads were then ranked using Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS). The results showed a strong correlation of 0.896 between the rankings obtained using the two methods, indicating the robustness of the methodology. The study identified several key roads of the market area that were in need of improvement to enhance the overall quality of the pedestrian-built environment. The methodology developed in this study provides a valuable tool for decision-making regarding pedestrian infrastructure improvement in developing countries and is expected to contribute to a safer and more efficient environment for pedestrian movement.

Abstract

Understanding the hydromechanical characteristics of compacted soils is essential as these soils are commonly encountered in several geotechnical structures. The present experimental study evaluated the effect of suction and saturation on the shear and volumetric deformation characteristics of compacted high-plasticity clay. The soil suction values were obtained using filter paper and chilled-mirror hygrometer tests, and small (< 0.001%) to large (> 0.1%) strain dynamic responses were analyzed using a series of bender element and cyclic simple shear tests. Additionally, the volumetric deformation characteristics were evaluated using swell pressure and double oedometer tests. Experiments were conducted on the compacted specimens of Nagpur cohesive soil with varying degrees of saturation (10–95%) and matric suction values (ranging from 52 to 97,930 kPa). The shear strength under static loading increased from 182 to 389 kPa, the stiffness under large-strain dynamic loading increased from 5492 to 10,245 kPa, and collapse potential increased by almost 16 times with the decrease in as-compacted degree of saturation to 50%. Afterward, their values decreased with further reduction in saturation. By contrast, the small-strain shear modulus increased from 19.1 to 65.2 MPa and swell pressure increased from 10 to 212 kPa continuously with the increase in initial matric suction and reduction in the degree of saturation. These experimental findings challenge the conventional assumptions regarding unsaturated clays, emphasizing the consideration of compaction state and microstructural arrangements into the analyses of the hydromechanical response of compacted clays.

Abstract

Time-series data for climatic variables of Jharkhand state, India were analyzed to assess the spatio-temporal variation and fluctuation over the study period of 118 years (1901–2018). Mann–Kendall (MK), Sequential Mann–Kendall (SQMK), and Sen’s slope tests were applied to determine the trend of precipitation, temperature maxima–minima, and Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) time-series data acquired after removal of serial autocorrelation called prewhitening. Minimum and maximum temperature revealed insignificant variation during pre-monsoon and monsoon season, while a remarkable increasing trend was observed for post-monsoon and winter season; however, increasing trend was obtained for annual maxima–minima. The average minimum temperature fluctuates with an increase of 0.59–0.41 ºC to a decrease of 0.79–0.39 ºC, whereas average maximum temperature fluctuates with an increase of 1–1.5 ºC to decrease of 0.82–0.14 ºC. Notably, decreasing trend of 1.09–2.3 mm/year was observed for precipitation during monsoon season, whereas decreasing trend of 1.2–2.4 mm/year was found for annual precipitation, and similarly for PET, significant decreasing trend of 0.0003–0.0012 mm/year was found for monsoon season and annually. However, the underlying persistence effect observed in all seasons and throughout the year for all climatic parameters resulted in the time-series with low-frequency fluctuations. SQMK method exhibits the periodic fluctuation of trends, which are more noticeable in pre-monsoon and monsoon season. An understanding of these alterations in pattern of climatic variables is important for planning and management of water resources and sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

A novel analysis procedure, referred to as variable-sized cluster analysis (VSCA), was developed to identify trends and change points in precipitation time series data set. The procedure involved station-scale rainfall data of 100years from seven districts (Saharanpur, Bareilly, Agra, Jhansi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Gorakhpur) of the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. In contrast with the traditional Mann-Kendall (MK) test that yields a monotonic trend for the whole span of time, VSCA enables one to detect multiple change points while characterizing the pattern of precipitation trends over the historical time period. The Pettitt-Mann-Whitney (PMW) test was also modified to graphically represent the multiple change points, which confirmed the results of VSCA. Thus, VSCA demonstrated the unified strength of MK and PMW tests. The three-dimensional (3D) figures drawn for visualizing the changing trend of precipitation utilized 100-year-long time series data set with the minimum size of data cluster as 10, which resulted in the right triangular shape of the graphs due to the repeated application of the MK test to variable-sized data clusters. Application of VSCA showed a decreasing trend of precipitation over Lucknow, Gorakhpur, and Varanasi around 1990 onward, with major changes in the decades of 1970–1980. Saharanpur and Agra contrarily displayed an increasing trend until 1940 and no trend thereafter; however, Bareilly and Jhansi showed reducing trends in precipitation.

Abstract

The Road Infrastructure is the backbone of the development of the country. A superior quality of road infrastructure has the potential to boost the coun-try’s economy. The roads deteriorate over time due to wear and tear and weather conditions. The pavement condition assessment should be addressed in the early stage of failure of the road to maintain serviceability and avoid further deterioration. At present, the traditional road assessment method is being used in practice. This road condition assessment method is labour-intensive, time-consuming and expensive. Remote sensing technology is proven efficient when a large area is required to be observed. It is quick and inexpensive compared to in situ measurements. Remote sensing techniques allow frequent, comprehensive, and quantitative surveys of road infrastruc-ture. Hyperspectral Remote Sensing imagery utilises many narrow contiguous spectral bands together with detailed spectral information, often regarding chemical and mineral properties of observed features. The reliability of hy-perspectral imagery greatly depends on the field data collection. To validate Hyperspectral Remote imagery results, field spectrometer data are widely used. In the present project, the use of Hyperspectral imagery is proposed to study road material identification and distress analysis. As a pilot project, the field spectra of Concrete and Bitumen Roads were collected with a high-resolution field portable spectroradiometer SVC HR-1024 to study the spec-tra of bitumen and concrete material. It collects the spectra in the range of 350 nm to 2500 nm spectral range. It can discriminate minor spectral varia-tions for roads with different ages and conditions. The results of the field spectrometer are thoroughly studied before using Hyperspectral imagery and presented in this paper. Keywords: Hyperspectral Remote Sensing, Road Condition Assessment, Field Spectrometer.

Abstract

Satellite Navigation System is a constellation of satellites that transmits signals from space to help users determine their position with time. The Indian Space Research Organization created the regional navigation satellite system, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). High positioning accuracy is needed to integrate the usage of IRNSS over various positioning systems, which necessitates modelling each bias. This research aims to model the tropospheric bias that retards the IRNSS transmissions. Weather-related variables can be used to model this systemic bias. However, the physical characteristics and climate of the Indian continent set it apart from other parts of the world. Thus, to incorporate local climatic conditions regional tropospheric model is highly essential. We have used the saastamoinen model to model tropospheric delay and then compared it to the receiver-generated delay. The results show that the tropospheric delay ranges from 2 to 8 m based on the zenith angle and other meteorological parameters. It shows a similar tendency to the receiver-generated delay. Further, a high correlation between the zenith angle and tropospheric delay indicates that the delay can be molded as a function of the zenith angle. The correlation is the same for all geosynchronous satellites and can be described as a function of a two-degree polynomial (R2 > 0.99). However, the tropospheric delay of geostationary satellites I03 and I06 correlate less with the zenith angle.

Abstract

Sun Induced Fluorescence (SIF) serves as useful means for detecting the condition of vegetation as it has a close correlation with photosynthesis, thus it is used to derive Gross Primary Product (GPP). SIF could be a good estimator of net photosynthesis levels in crops affected by water deficit and nutritional stress. The field collected spectral signatures of wheat crop are used of different growth stages under control and stress treatments. SIF retrieval for wheat crop is done from spectral reflectance signatures using Spectral Fitting Method (SFM). Relations between SIF signals and key photosynthetic parameters from combined gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence at leaf level based on Farquhar–von Caemmerer–Berry leaf photosynthesis model fitting and others. Analysis is done for observed patterns of relationships and thus contributes to the understanding of usefulness of SIF as crucial for remote sensing application.

Abstract

In India, the fast-growing cities are facing sedate problems of traffic congestion due to the unprecedented urbanization in the last few decades. To give mobility of high populace density, these cities usually rely on multi-modal transit services, including private and public modes. Public transport plays an important role in building up the transportation structure. Effective implementation of public transport greatly depends on the accessibility of transit station about the urban region. This study presents the approach for the relocation of the transit station based on an evaluation of spatial accessibility to BRT stations in the environment of Geographical Information System (GIS) for Ahmedabad City. In GIS the service area and distance-decay analysis tools were used to find the most appropriate BRT station location. The study was performed on three selected corridors consisting of 27 BRT stations. Field data collected includes distance among the bus stations, distance from bus stations to intersection, on walking distance of commuter to the bus station and commuters’ characteristic like age, gender, type of employment, purpose of trip, mode of travel, time is taken to reach station and income from immediate neighborhood from board and off-board commuters. Analysis showed that relocating BRT station, results increase in the service area and that leads to commuter ridership. It was observed that relocating the station also changed the approachable population densities of the respective station. After relocating the current stations, the population density or commuter ridership increased by average 60% for 0-150 m radius, 150-400 m increased by 35% and 400-600 m increased by an average of 20% with respect to six (6) stations of the three study corridors. This result would help BRTS operators and BRTS operating authorities to take a decision about BRT station location suitability. Thus, it is recommended to consider the population densities and accessibility also t

Chapter TitleVibration Control of Structures using Piezoelectric Material

Published YearNovember 2015

Indexed INOthers

Abstract

Structural elements and systems used in spacecraft and antenna structures are flexible and light in weight. Vibration in flexible structures may produce secondary effects in it and affect the performance. Therefore, it is important to control structural response of flexible structures. This can be achieved by either Passive control or Active control. It has been found that active control of flexible structures may lead to instability, if there is an error in feedback control. In such situations passive control of flexible structures coated with thin viscoelastic material offers promise. Apart, smart materials like Piezoelectric Ceramic Powder, Magnetorheological Fluids etc. are potential alternatives. In present study cantilever structure made up of aluminum material is considered. Bare specimen is coated with Piezoelectric Ceramic Powder. Acceleration is captured using Data Acquisition System and LabVIEW through Free vibration test. Results shows piezoelectric powder coating increases damping into the system.

Abstract

Earthquake is a natural hazard that causes damage or sometimes complete collapse of man-made structures. It is measured as ground excitation with acceleration and time data points measured at various locations through digital instruments. All ground excitations measured do have potential to cause damage to the structures but strong ground motion do. Strong Ground Motion is characterized by various parameters like Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA), Frequency Content, Root Mean Square (RMS) Acceleration, Arias Intensity and Duration of strong ground motion. Strong ground excitations poses varied seismic demand on structures. In the present study, out of 184 ground motions recorded at 23 recording stations of Indian subcontinent, about 67 ground motions are quantified as strong ground motion based on PGA and Duration of the motion. Response Spectrum for each strong ground excitation is developed. A mean, mean plus one standard deviation and maximum response spectrum are developed for each strong ground motion using statistical analysis. Seismic demand posed by each response spectrum and IS specified design spectrum on four storey Reinforced Concrete (RC) shear frame building are evaluated. Comparison among seismic demand represented by peak acceleration and base shear are carried out. It is found that seismic demand posed by IS specified design spectrum for building is quite high as compared to mean response spectrum. Similar results are obtained for mean plus one standard deviation and maximum response spectrum except few strong ground motions that posed high seismic demand on building as compared to IS specified design spectrum.

Abstract

Construction of tall and flexible structures has become easier now-a-days because of advances in analytical techniques and availability of more efficient materials. However, these structures are more sensitive towards dynamic loadings. Dynamic response of such structures under various excitations can be quantified by displacement and acceleration response time history. Excessive dynamic response of structure leads to substantial damage to the structural components and hence it need to be controlled. Passively, this is achieved by adding either mass or stiffness or both of them. This paper covers experimental study on controlling dynamic response of a building model using two types of bracings, namely, Concentric- and Eccentric bracing. A building model is fabricated using aluminum flats and plates and bracings are fabricated using linear springs of moderate stiffness. A model represented as Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system is subjected to sinusoidal excitations of various frequencies through small scale shake table. Acceleration response of a uncontrolled building model (model without bracings) is obtained using accelerometers and Data Acquisition System (DAQ) – LabVIEW 8.0. Displacement response is derived through numerical integration from acceleration response using LabVIEW. Acceleration and displacement response of controlled building model (model with bracings) are extracted and compared with uncontrolled system. Dynamic properties like Natural Time Period and Damping Ratio for both types of bracing systems are obtained and comparisons are made among them. It is found that natural time period and damping ratio of controlled building model is increased as compared to uncontrolled system due to stiffness addition. Displacement and Acceleration response are reduced appropriately for controlled system as compared to uncontrolled system.

Abstract

t Instantaneous Optimal Control is used to obtain desired force from MR damper fitted to a seismically excited building. Excitation is considered when minimizing performance index, unlike in classical optimal controllers. Modified Bouc-Wen damper model and on-off voltage law is considered. Various forms of state weighting matrix are considered for controller design. IOC is compared with LQR/LQG and PON control. It yields reduction in: maximum peak interstorey drift; and generally in accelerations vis-a-vis LQR/LQG. IOCSF Riccati Matrix Type controller appears most effective, yielding: lowest maximum peak drift/acceleration and generally best storeywise drift control vis-a-vis PON/LQR/LQG; substantially lower peak accelerations vis-a-vis LQR/LQG.

Abstract

Analysis and Design of berthing structures seems to be a new subject to common structural engineers, but they are the important structures contributing to the development of trade in our nation. The paper is focusing on analysis and design of 12th Cargo Berth at Kandla, which is open piled structure with retaining wall at the land side and lying in high seismic zone V. The berth is to be designed for a vessel having capacity of 75,000 DWT and the structure is supported on Bored cas-in situ piles. The structure is subjected to various forces and combinations such as cyclone, high tide, earthquake,high winds, heavy live loads as per IS: 4651 – 1983. A 3-D model was generated using STAAD-Pro software and analysis was conducted with appropriate loads acting on the structure. It was observed that seismic force was governing in most of the case because of Kandla being located in high seismic zone V. The paper is an attempt to understand the behavior of offshore structures under different conditions of loading and also, an effect of seismicity on the structures.

Abstract

Conventionally, seismic design of building structures is based on the concept of increasing the resistance capacity of the structures against earthquakes by employing, Shear walls, Braced frames or MR frames. However, the periods of vibrations of above mentioned structures are primary tools in determining seismic response. The period of vibration of structures is highly varied in nature depending upon its determination approach. This paper is an attempt to focus the issue of variation of time period determination from empirical formulas to software model implementation. In this paper a small R.C.C. Building of G + 4 size has been taken and different modeling aspects were applied to evaluate the difference in time period of the building. Based on the evaluated time periods the equivalent static lateral loads on the building were also estimated and distributed along the height of the building. The software used to model the R.C.C. building is ETABS Nonlinear Version 8.11. Lastly, a comparison of time periods for different types of model and base shear were also obtained. Overall, the paper is a modest attempt to bring in front the basic issues of obtaining time period for correct evaluation of seismic response of R.C.C. buildings, which felt missing.

Abstract

The toxicity, Leachate Pollution Index(LPI), and risk assessment of the leachate of hazardous sludge are very rarely and scantly studied. This study evaluates the leachate characteristics of the textile industry–central effluent treatment plant sludge. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis determines the sludge’s chemical composition. The Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) is a sample extraction method performed to simulate the leaching through landfills. The leachate samples are tested using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) techniques for the metal ions. The 30 TCLP tests are performed as per the scheme generated by the Central Composite Design of Experiment (CCDoE). The study provides a novel and flexible framework for developing the Textile- Leachate Pollution Index (T-LPI) using a hybrid fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (FAHP). The metal ions’ weights in the leachate (Al, Cu, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, K, Mg, Ca) are obtained using FAHP infused with inter-valued triangular fuzzy numbers. The membership grade functions are derived for each metal ion, and the Leachate Pollution Index is estimated for 30 experiments. The experimental runs are ranked based on their LPI values. Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicates a poor association between the metal ions and their presence from different sources. The Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) of metal ions (Al, Cu, Cr, Fe, Pb, Zn, Mn, Ni) present in leachate shows the potential non-carcinogenic impact by Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr, and Mn. In contrast, Fe and Al have shown no adverse non-carcinogenic effect. The carcinogenic risk by Pb and Cr metal ions in leachate lies in the high- and very highrisk levels. The ranking of hazardous sludge sites can help in the immediate disposal of higher LPI value sludge to treatment storage disposal facilities (TSDF) as compared to the sludge with lower LPI. The study provides insight into the human health risk associated with the consumption (oral intake and skin absorption) of leachate-polluted surface water.

Abstract

A novel approach has been undertaken wherein chemically modified wheat straw activated carbon (WSAC) as adsorbent is developed, characterized, and examined for the removal of COD and color from the cotton dyeing industry effluent. Thirty experimental runs are designed for batch reactor study using the central composite method (CCM) for optimizing process parameters, namely biochar dose, time of contact, pH, and temperature, for examining the effect on COD and color-removing efficiency of WSAC. The experimental data have been modeled using the machine learning approaches such as polynomial quadratic regression and artificial neural networks (ANN). The determined optimum conditions are pH: 7.18, time of contact: 85.229 min, adsorbent dose: 2.045 g/l, and temperature: 40.885 °C, at which the COD and color removal efficiency is 90.92 and 94.48%, respectively. The nonlinear pseudo-second order (PSO) kinetic model shows good coefficient of determination (R2 ~ 1) values. The maximum adsorption capacity for COD and color by WSAC is at the pH of 7, the temperature of 40 °C, adsorbent dose of 2 g/l is obtained at the contact time of 80 min is 434.78 mg/g and 331.55 PCU/g, respectively. The COD removal and decolorization is more than 70% in the first 20 min of the experiment. The primary adsorption mechanism involves hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, n-π interactions, and cation exchange. Finally, the adsorbent is environmentally benign and cost-effective, costing 16.66% less than commercially available carbon. The result of the study indicates that WSAC is a prominent solution for treating textile effluent. The study is beneficial in reducing the pollutants from textile effluents and increasing the reuse of treated effluent in the textile industries.

Abstract

The Textile Wastewater Treatment Technique (TWWTT) plays a prominent role in reducing effluent contaminants and thus keeping the environment cleaner. To select appropriate technology, evaluating the unified performance of TWWTTs towards social, technical, economic, and environmental sustainability parameters is of utmost importance. Though there are TWWTTs available, no ready framework exists that can help decision-makers choose the appropriate technology based on their requirement. The study proposes a novel and systematic decision-making framework and a comprehensive mathematical model for judiciously selecting the TWWTT. It integrates fuzzy Delphi and hybrid Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). A total of 38 sub-indicators of sustainability are identified from past studies and expert opinions. Fuzzy Delphi is applied to identify the essential sub-indicators of sustainability, and hybrid FAHP is used to rank the sustainability dimensions, key sub-indicators, and alternatives. Twenty-eight sub-indicators are rounded down from the initial 38. The results from hybrid FAHP indicate that the technical dimension of sustainability is of paramount importance while selecting the TWWTTs followed by the economic dimension. The key sub-indicators for the selection of TWWTTs that scored higher than the others in technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects respectively are as under (i) color removal efficiency, COD removal efficiency, and quantity of sludge generation; (ii) cost of construction, operation, and maintenance; (iii) awareness within textile industries, public safety; (iv) effluent suitability for reuse and space requirements. The five TWWTTs, namely, Activated Sludge Process (ASP), Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR), Electrochemical Coagulation (EC), Mixed Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR), and the Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC), are compared using the estimated entropy weights also called as sustainability indices. MBR has scored the highest sustainability index value, and ASP has the least value. MBR, EC and MBBR have higher sustainability indices proving them better sustainable alternatives than ASP and RBC. The MBR permeate quality is good enough to be reused in the textile industry without any further treatment. This will reduce the effluent quantity and groundwater demand leading to cleaner production of textile. The study will help the decision-makers in the overall assessment of the sustainability of TWWTTs prior to selection.

Abstract

A term Total Crossing Time (TCT) is coined in this study. TCT of a pedestrian includes the time spent by the pedestrian in waiting and his/her crossing of a road. This paper argues that considering a distribution of TCT is required for analysis instead of analyzing a crisp value of TCT of pedestrians. This study quantifies, perhaps for the first time, that by what extent vehicular traffic streams affect TCT distribution of pedestrians crossing an uncontrolled mid-block section of an urban road. For this, a suitable parameter of traffic stream that influences TCT distribution is identified. The suitable parameter of traffic is found to be the traffic density. Further, it is hypothesized that pedestrians can only perceive a range of traffic density and not discrete values of density. In order to incorporate this, traffic density observed on the road is categorized into nine groups; and, for each group of densities corresponding TCT distribution is computed. Curve fitting, using two kinds of density functions, for each of the nine TCT distributions is performed and Pearson Type-III density function is found to be a more appropriate distribution. Additionally, the parameters of the fitted Pearson Type-III distribution are found to be dependent on the corresponding mean of the traffic density group. Hence, a simple regression model is also suggested using which one can predict TCT distribution if traffic density of the stream is known. The findings of this study is going to be useful for researchers/practitioner those who are interested in simulating pedestrians, crossing an uncontrolled mid-block section of a road.

Abstract

The torsional strengthening of reinforced concrete hollow beams (RCHBs) with externally bonded stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) was investigated. The experimental programme involved casting and testing eight RCHBs of length 1300 mm and 150 mm × 150 mm cross-section with a 50 mm × 50 mm square hollow section in the centre. The beams were reinforced with 4–10 mm dia. longitudinal bars and 8 mm dia. stirrups at 150 mm centre to centre. Two unstrengthened RCHBs were designated as control specimens and the other six beams were strengthened using three different SSWM wrapping configurations. The test results were analysed based on torque–twist behaviour and the influence of SSWM on cracking torque, ultimate torque and failure modes. A numerical model was developed to predict the behaviour of RCHBs using the finite-element (FE) software Abaqus. The predictions of peak torque and corresponding twist obtained from the FE modelling showed good agreement with the experimental results. Based on the outcomes of this study, SSWM can be considered a feasible material for the torsional strengthening of reinforced concrete elements.

This paper presents the outcome of the experimental program conducted to incorporate the Nanoparticles in the pervious concrete for the purpose of water purification and improvement in the strength. The Nanoparticles are small objects that behave as filler for the porosity of concrete, which helps to increase the strength of concrete and maintain the perviousness of concrete. This perviousness of pervious concrete helps to purify the contaminated water also. Three Nanoparticles Zinc Oxide (ZnO), Charcoal and Manganese Dioxide (MnO2) are used in the present experimental program. The quality of the water is checked by the tests such as Hardness test, pH test, turbidity test, Porosity and Permeability test perform to check the inherent property of pervious concrete and compressive strength test performs to check the improvement of Pervious concrete. The result shows charcoal provide good results for water purification and improvement of strength as comparing other two Nanoparticles.

The design of a water distribution network (WDN) is an optimization problem that is computationally challenging with conflicting objectives. This study offers an enhanced Chaotic Sobol Sequence-based Multi-Objective Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution (CS-MOSADE) algorithm for multi-objective WDN design. The CS-MOSADE algorithm was tested on two benchmark WDNs, and a real WDN. Optimization results indicate that the CS-MOSADE algorithm converged two to three times faster than the MOSADE and NSGA-IIalgorithms and led to better output in terms of even distribution of solutions and convergence towards the true Pareto-optimal front. Smaller spacing metric indicated better uniformity in the obtained solutions; and larger hyper-area and coverage function values depicted better convergence towards the true Pareto-optimal front for the CS-MOSADE algorithm compared to the other algorithms. The CS-MOSADE algorithm was then applied to solve a WDN expansion problem for optimal pump scheduling and minimization of Life Cycle Cost, maximization of reliability and minimization of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. A significant reduction in GHG emissions of 2.17 x 106 kg was achieved at an additional cost of $0.55 x 107 when optimal pump scheduling was incorporated in the model of the real WDN over service life of 50 years.

Abstract

This paper focuses on developing concrete mix design using the android application as per the Indian Standard IS: 10262 (2019). Concrete mix design is an essential parameter for constructing any reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Recently IS: 10262 (2019) has come up with significant changes in the concrete mix design. IS: 10262 (2019) has added the mix design of different types of concrete such as ordinary concrete (M30 to M60), selfcompacted concrete, high strength concrete (M65 to M100), and mass concrete. Currently, on the Google play store, such an application is not available, covering all types of concrete mix design according to IS: 10262 (2019). Concrete mix design android application has been developed for all types of concrete using all the provisions mentioned in IS: 10262 (2019). This android application covers the mix design of ordinary concrete, self-compacted concrete, high-strength concrete, and mass concrete. The android studio was used to develop a concrete mix design for the android application. This concrete mix design application also provides detailed guidelines for mixing proportions specified in IS: 10262 (2019). Experimental work was carried out to validate android application results for concrete mix design. Compressive strength result at 7 days and 28 days was measured and compared with a target mean strength for different types of concrete. A slump test was carried out to check the workability of different types of concrete. From the compressive strength result, it can be concluded that the concrete mix proportioning result obtained from the android application will be helpful for field applications. This android application has excellent benefits to the students, academicians, and practicing engineers working on concrete mix design.

Abstract

Corrosion is the degradation of a metal by an electrochemical reaction with its surrounding environment. The corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement in concrete causes durability issue in reinforced concrete structures and cement concrete pavements. The impact of corrosion of embedded steel rebars on the performance of reinforced concrete structures and pavements is a subject of concern for the engineers and scientists working in the construction industry. One of the effective ways of studying such influence is to understand the effect of corrosion on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. The bond strength between steel rebar and concrete is also an important parameter of study. This study focuses on probing the effect of corrosion on bond strength and other mechanical properties of reinforced concrete. A pull-out test was conducted on 18 concrete cube specimens having steel bars of 12 and 16 mm diameter Fe500 grade. These bars were corroded with the help of commercial grade hydrochloric acid solution 10% v/v. Each group of bar specimens included three levels of corrosion: 0, 3 and 5%. Tension test on steel bars and compression test for concrete cubes were conducted
