Abstract

Plastic waste management becomes a serious issue all over the world. Dumping of plastic waste on land without treating it degraded the properties of parent material. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate the use of plastic waste for improving properties of soil and soil subgrade underlying by aggregate base which is applicable in construction of embankment and flexible pavement respectively. Waste plastic water bottles converted into plastic strips with an aspect ratio of 6%. The behavior of randomly distributed plastic strip-reinforced soil system and soil aggregate system was observed by conducting soaked CBR test series with different percentage of plastic strips (0%, 0.5%, 1% and 2%). Results of study show that soil reinforced with waste plastic strips has significant increase in CBR values with respect to unreinforced soil in both the cases. The results also reveal that the 1% of plastic strip-reinforced soil system and soil aggregate system show significant improvement in strength.

Abstract

The subgrade soil is an integral part of pavements which provides support to the pavement. The behaviour of road surface depends on the strength of filling material and the subgrade below it. The pavements are vulnerably affected by the change in subgrade soil properties due to water-table fluctuation, overloading, flooding, etc. This study focuses on improving the strength of soil subgrade using plastic waste soil reinforcement technique in pavement construction, looking to the current environmental issue related to the utilisation of waste plastic, as plastic is a non-biodegradable material. In this study, geocell and geogrid were prepared from plastic waste and used as soil reinforcement. The plastic waste geocell and geogrid were placed at different depths from the top of the CBR mould. The CBR test was performed for unsoaked condition of virgin soil and reinforced soil, and the behaviour of load versus penetration was observed. The results show that by placing plastic waste reinforcement at different depths, the strength of the reinforced subgrade soil considerably increased with respect to virgin soil. The confined structure of plastic waste geocell shows significant strength improvement compared to plastic waste geogrid. The result shows that the significant improvement in strength of soil using geogrid and geocell was effective at a particular depth. This study reveals that the use of plastic waste for improving subgrade soil strength is a good option. The plastic waste can be utilised in pavement construction as well as it can be the cost-effective solution.

Abstract

Infrastructure development is important for developing country like India. Road construction plays a major role in it. Hence, good quality roads are necessary for any type of infrastructure development. Flexible pavements are divided in to layers, which consists of subgrade layer (soil as a foundation), sub-base layer, base course layer and surface course layer (bituminous layer). If any layer becomes unstable or weak, it may lead to failure of the pavement. It is observed that, sometimes pavements fail due to low strength of subgrade soil .The subgrade soil is internal part of the pavement. Hence, sound understanding of the properties of soil subgrade is essential for designing a pavement. The properties of soil can be modified by mixing the fiber rein for cements in the subgrade soil. Natural fibers like coir, jute, bamboo have been used to change the index properties of soil. The expansive soil which is also known as problematic soil was selected for the study. Pavement construction on such type of soil is a major problem. In this paper, coir fibres are used as reinforcement and its effects on the various index properties, i.e. Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), Maximum Dry Density (MDD), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), Swell Pressure and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) are studied. The study also includes effect of percentage reinforcement on the subgrade soil for the pavement design. The pavement design for soil and coir fiber mixture results in to decrease the thickness of subgrade layer.

Abstract

Ground water is the water contained in the soil pores under the earth’s crust. The challenges of ground water shortages and contamination have become worse in recent decades as a result of population development. Traditional approaches for groundwater conservation, such as groundwater based surveys, exploratory exploration, and geophysical techniques, are not only inefficient yet often time consuming. As a result, an advanced Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) approach is used. Ground water management may be divided into distinct Potential Zones based on the amount of ground water accessible in a given region. Using Remote Sensing and GIS, any area’s ground water potential zone can be calculated by combining tiff maps and assigning ranks and weightages to each parameter. Slope, drainage density, geomorphology, Lineament Density, Soil, Lithology, and LULC (Land Use Land Cover) are the parameters used to determine the possible zone of ground water in any given region. This paper describes the work that went into determining the GW potential zone in Gujarat’s Saurashtra region. The area from which ground water can be readily accessed can be determined using the Ground Water Potential Zone chart, and this information can be used to dig wells and create hydrological structures.

Abstract

The rivers play a very important role within the lives of the people, because the Rivers are very much helpful in water supply, irrigation, water transportation, generation of electricity, and tourism. Most of the major cities are situated on the shores of holy rivers or near the coastal area. Depleting the status of water resources could also be one among the foremost critical resource problems with the twenty-first century. The country’s rivers must be interconnected to provide water to the drought-prone areas. The method is designed to preserve river water that flows into the ocean every year during the monsoon season. The study focuses on interlinking key rivers in Gujarat to meet the requirements of regions with severe water shortage such as North Gujarat, Saurashtra, and Kutch. This article proposes a sustainable resilient strategy for river water interlinking, which helps manage surface water storage and salty water intrusion into coastal groundwater. The planned unlined canal is intended for low silting and scouring. The canal’s bottom width is 152 m and its depth is 5.4 m. This canal will act as a multifunctional strategy to solve different water problems while also affecting the environment.

Abstract

Most of the natural disasters are unpredictable, but the most frequent occurring catastrophic event over the globe is flood. Developing countries are severely affected by the floods because of the high frequencies of floods. The developing countries do not have good forecasting system compared to the developed country. The metro cities are also settled near the coast or river bank which are the most vulnerable places to floods. This study proposes plan for street level flood monitoring and warning system for the Surat city, India. Waterlogging happens in the low lying area of the Surat city due to heavy storm and heavy releases from the Ukai dam. The high releases from upstream Ukai dam and heavy rainfall resulted into flooding in the low lying area of the Surat city. This research proposed a wireless water level sensor network system for the street water level flood monitoring. The system is proposed to monitor the water levels of different areas of city through the wireless water level sensors as well as to capture live photos using CCTV camera. This will help authority not only to issue flood warning but also to plan flood mitigation measures and evacuation of people.

Abstract

Rivers are critical to human life because they are strategically significant in the world, providing primary water supplies for various purposes. Rivers are the prime importance of any country as most of the cities are settled near the river. Due to developmental activities and increase in population, it will result in huge waste generation. Surface water quality is affected because of increasing urbanization and industrialization. The aim of this research is to examine the effect of climate change and industrialization on the water quality of the Sabarmati river using a mathematical model. For this study, four important towns along the lower Sabarmati River have been considered and water quality data was considered from 2005 to 2015. In this study, different water quality parameters were considered to derive a water quality model. Results show the water quality downstream after Ahmedabad city is worse compared to the other location where the Maximum WQI is 0.71 at Rasikapur and average WQI is 0.50 for the same location for the last 15 years. It has been observed that the effect of the monsoon and also by comparing time scale water quality model the role of regulations for industrialization also plays an important role in the quality of Sabarmati river.

Abstract

Agriculture is the primary source of income for the majority of India's people. Big farmers in India use inorganic fertilisers and pesticides on their plantations. However, it would reduce soil fertility. So, in order to address this problem, this paper encourages farmers to return to organic farming, while still increasing crop yield and decreasing crop water requirements. Nano materials and different bio fertilizers were used to cultivate the groundnut crop. For this, we applied these fertilisers to one acre of land for crop production, whereas on the other hand, we applied simple organic fertilisers and water to another one acre of land for comparison. The key goal is to increase yield with high-quality groundnuts. The use of these Nano organic products results in a 17-20% increase in overall production, and the cost-benefit ratio is 1.98, which is very good as compared to conventional inorganic farming.

Abstract

Day after day, the need for potable water rises and the amount of potable water available decreases at the same time. Around 97 percent of all the water on Earth is saline water in the oceans and aquifers. There is only 2.5–2.75 percent of fresh water available, including 1.75–2 percent frozen ice glacier, 0.5–0.75 percent fresh groundwater and less than 0.01 percent surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers. Fresh water is renewable and variable; it is a restricted commodity, however. Only by the water cycle, in which water from seas, streams, soil, rivers and reservoirs evaporates, creates clouds and returns as precipitation, can fresh water be replenished. 0.003 per cent of absolute water is fresh and unpolluted water. In India many villages and communities still rely on river water for drinking purposes but the water available in river is majorly polluted due to human activities. The ocean water which is available in huge quantity comes to rescue in this scenario. The saline water of ocean can be converted into drinkable water using solar energy in an affordable manner. This paper describes a unit which is designed on simple principles of evaporation and condensation with no electricity being used. Thus we harness the heat radiated by the sun to accomplish the evaporation segment. The water will be condensed by natural temperature difference between heated and non-heated segment. The unique aspect of this paper is the use of convex lenses to heat the water initially from the tank such that the water being heated by the sheet evaporates at an increased rate due to the incoming water having an elevated temperature.

Abstract

The population of Indian cities is increasing exponentially, which results in the use of more resources and on the other side, the generation of waste will also increase. The most commonly used masonry unit of a building material is brick. To overcome this issue of resource utilization and waste generation, civil engineers have been facing challenges to find a better solution. Research was carried out to obtain a useful construction and building material in the form of slu-brick from solid waste (sludge). Improper disposal of domestic sludge causes harmful effects on the environment that poses a major problem in urban cities. This study focuses on the use of sludge in production of brick since the chemical composition of sludge is similar to that of clay. Different series of sludge and various ingredients mixture proportions were studied where in varying sludge ratios starting from 5% to 30% of the total weight of mixture was added. Various physical test were carried out such as specific gravity, compressive strength, water absorption, fineness test as well as an environmental test were also conducted such as total coliform and E-Coli content. While testing various parameters it has been observed that slu-brick is good enough to use as construction materials compared to conventional brick as its strength is similar to the conventional brick when the sludge content is 30%. It was observed that good quality slu-brick can be produced up to 30% utilization of sludge in brick making. This study confirms that the waste sludge can act as a suitable material in the manufacture of slu-brick with proportionate mix and design. Thus to an extent clay can be replaced with sludge in the brick manufacturing, which helps in the conservation of naturally available resources and improves the environmental quality.

Abstract

Even though water is abundantly available, the quantity of water available for direct use is very limited. At the another side, the quality of available water is also deteriorating because daily activities of human increase the load of pollutants which deteriorated the quality of surface as well as ground water also. Ultimately results in the reduction of usable quantity and quality of water. Moreover, water bodies such as lake is used for storage of water but in India, people dump their wastes in lakes which results into eutrophication of lake. Research was conducted on the lake water of Ambapur (unlined-rural) and Bopal (lined-urban) where water is available in large quantities but at the same time it is not useful for domestic purpose. Which lead to an adverse impact on biotic and abiotic environment of the surrounding area of particular place. Various tests (physical, chemical and biological) were performed to determine the extent of the pollutants and the viable ways to reduce this pollution were explored. Emphasis were made to inculcate more of the locally available materials which would result in a sustainable as well as cost-effective solution. Thus, in this research several experiments were conducted for the treatment of lake water with the usage of vetiver grass, conventional sand, rice husk, coconut fibers, activated carbon, oysters and moringa seeds. These layers will remove most of the impurities and pollutants form the contaminated lake water and tests were again performed to check whether the water is useful for domestic purpose or not? The results shows that this treatment methods can remove most of the pollutants and also the treatment is very economical as this method uses locally available materials.

Abstract

Flood is natural disaster which is occurring in almost every part of the country. Total of 30 years (1985-2016) hydrological data has been given as an input to the model study. In order to run HEC-HMS model for assessment of flood at Surat outlet of Tapi river basin the input such as Rainfall, soil map and land use/land cover map required are extracted from soil. The hydrology of the area is characterised by high interaction between ground water and surface water. Input files were prepared using HEC-GeoHMS and later imported to HEC-HMS along with the meteorological and hydrological data to calculate run-off at the watershed outlet. Analysis was carried out in HEC-HMS to determine peak stream flow and occurrence time. SCS (Soil Conservation service) method can be used for flood stimulation in HEC-HMS. From the values of R2 (coefficient of determination) and from stimulated Qpeak (discharge) and observed Qpeak the flood model can be derived in HEC-HMS. Satellite image of area near Tapi region is selected and with the help of software we could analyse the flood prone areas. Parameters like population Density, resources availability, Elevation of geographical area, etc. database can be collected using GIS. Software like ArcGIS can be used to get the data of flood. From the data obtained using HEC-HMS and GIS the area of surat are divided into High risk and Low risk zones. Based on this study it will be helpful in identification of low lying & flood prone areas in Surat city and also helpful in Surat urban planning near Tapi River.

Abstract

The quality of river water is enfeebling day by day due act of increasing urbanization and industrialization in Ahmedabad city. The surface and sub-surface water samples were collected from different locations along the length of Sabarmati river. In this study water samples from six different sites namely Sant-sarovar, Gandhi Bridge, Vasna Barrage, Vasna-Narol Bridge, Miroli Pumping station and Vautha Bridge along the Sabarmati river basin were collected and numerous physical test like pH, turbidity, temperature, electrical conductivity, TDS and chemical test like alkalinity, chloride content, sulphate content, hardness, BOD, COD, Dissolved Oxygen and biological test such as E-coli and total Coliform were performed to determine WQI (Water Quality Index) of the Sabarmati river. WQI is one of the most effective tools to communicate information on the quality of water to the concerned citizens and policy makers or water resource managers. Water Quality Index allows for a general analysis of water quality on many levels that affect a stream’s ability to host life and whether the overall quality of water bodies poses a potential threat to various uses of water. The results of each test is graphically represented for simplification. The sites located in highly urban area showed the worst water quality followed by the station located in moderately urban area and lastly station located in a moderately rural area. Water quality index combines all the different water quality parameter and communicates the facts to the individuals concerned. The main cause of deterioration in water quality at these monitoring stations was due to the high anthropogenic activities, illegal discharge of sewage and industrial effluent, lack of proper sanitation, unprotected river sites, and urban runoff.

Abstract

This research developed a small-scale flood model that integrates Geographic Information and hydrological models. HEC-RAS model helped in simulation and to develop a relationship between runoff and rainfall in Banas River, Gujarat, India. Banas River has been taken as the study area because it is a region which was mostly flooded and having a severe effect on the Gujarat 2017 flood. This model compromises two models, a rainfall-runoff model that converts rainfall excess to surface flow and river runoff, and a second model as a hydraulic model that covers unsteady state flow through the river channel network. In HEC-RAS model, new GIS tool RAS Mapper has been used which is compatible with GIS facilities and modelling has been done with this tool. Results are also available in different parameters such as flood inundation depth, flood water velocity and time. Validation of the model is important, the results at the end of the simulation were compared with the previous observed flood water level data from past flood events in a particular fixed location. The results of this research will benefit in flood management and also used in future modelling for flood disaster forecasts.

Abstract

Composite structures are becoming a part of modern construction practice. Composite columns sections such as Concrete Filled Tube (CFT), Concrete Filled Double Skinned Tube (CFDST), Concrete Encased Steel (CES), etc. have made the high rise buildings and long bridges, reasonably safer and lighter. Newly evolved CFDST sections, where concrete sandwiched between two steel tubes has shown improved performance under earthquake loading. The concrete infill enhances the load carrying capacity & energy absorption and limits steel tube to get locally buckled. Furthermore, these sections provide high bending stiffness, better local and global stability and enhanced post peak behavior. Currently, in many countries like China and America, composite structures are constructed in a considerable extent. However, in India, utilization of composite columns is very limited because of lack of committed Indian standard stipulations. Acknowledging multifaceted nature in investigative answer for column element, utilization of Load - Moment (P - M) interaction curve plays a crucial role in design of composite column. Currently, available composite structure design codes predict the load – moment capacity based on either plastic design or strain compatibility design method. The present study aims to develop theoretical formulations for design of Circular Concrete Filled Double Skinned Tube (C-CFDST) composite column section using plastic method of design approach following Eurocode-4. Computer Aid has been developed in Visual Studio 2019 with VB .net language based on proposed theoretical formulations to have a great advantage of computers in obtaining a solution for such complicated problems.

Varying efficacies of Fenton’s oxidation treatment on pharmaceutical industry effluents of contrasting viscosity profiles

Title of PaperVarying efficacies of Fenton’s oxidation treatment on pharmaceutical industry effluents of contrasting viscosity profiles

PublisherWiley Online Library

Volume Number49

Page Number2000335

Published YearJanuary 2021

Indexed INScopus

Abstract

The present study investigates the applicability of Fenton's oxidation for the treatment of a highly refractory, viscous, bulk drug industry effluent. The effluent is found to behave as a Newtonian fluid, thrice as viscous as water. Fenton's oxidation experiments on the undiluted effluent are conducted in accordance with central composite design (CCD), considering the operating factors of pH (3–11), FeSO4 dosage (3–15 g L−1), H2O2 dosage (7–19 mL L−1), and treatment time (30–150 min). The treatment yielded a maximum total organic carbon (TOC) reduction of 28% at neutral pH, FeSO4, and H2O2 dosages of 9 g L−1 and 13 mL L−1, respectively, for 150 min of operation. The maximal treatment efficacy observed at neutral pH is explained by the non-radical mechanism of Fenton's oxidation, and further correlated with viscosity and type of fluid (here, Newtonian), as judged from the generated viscosity profiles. Upon comparison with previous effluent samplings, differing treatment efficacies are observed for different fluid types, that is, Newtonian and non-Newtonian (shear thinning), with the latter obtaining twice the TOC reduction, under similar experimental conditions. Hence, the effect of viscosity and fluid type on the effectiveness of Fenton's oxidation treatment is experimentally validated and discussed.

Volume Number8

Abstract

This study aims to provide non-biological treatment solutions to the pharmaceutical industry, depending on the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the wastewater. Commonly overlooked aspects of industrial wastewater such as its fluctuating characteristics, selection of suitable sampling points, and adopting an appropriate treatment methodology are addressed. Different units in a drug-producing industry and chief ingredients at each stage were identified. An appropriate sampling point was finalized following a series of systematic and repeated samplings of prominent industrial locations, at different periods. High organic and solids strength industrial wastewater samples were characterized and subjected to various physico-chemical and oxidative techniques, namely electrocoagulation (EC), chemical coagulation, photocatalytic oxidation, electro-Fenton’s (EF), Photo-Fenton’s (PF), and Fenton’s oxidation. The highest total organic carbon (TOC) reduction efficiencies about 47, 23, and 62 % were obtained from Fenton’s oxidation for distinct samplings. The variation in quality of effluent heavily influences the treatment efficacies of individual treatment schemes. Hence, rigid treatment protocols are inadvisable to propose for industrial perspectives to handle diurnal variations in effluent characteristics. Rather, industry-specific solutions may be provided, depending on the type of wastewater generated.

Abstract

The present study investigates the oxidative technique of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for the treatment of a highly refractive, bulk drug industry effluent with an initial total organic carbon (TOC) content of 69960 mg/l. A qualitative insight into the pharmaceutical industry, drug production, and effluent characteristics is presented. Experiments on the undiluted effluent were conducted in accordance with central composite design (CCD). For the venturi-based HC studies, variation of pH (3.63-10.36), inlet pressure (2.95-13.04 bar), and treatment time (26.36-93.63 min.) were studied, besides investigating their effects on treatment efficiency. HC treatment yielded a maximum 25% reduction in TOC with a cavitational yield of 65.69 × 10-3 mg/J for an optimum combination of pH 7, inlet pressure 8 bar, cavitation number of 0.242, and treatment time 60 minutes (17 recirculations). Furthermore, synergetic effects of increasing inlet pressure and effluent temperature were quantified, and found to effectuate a maximum increase of 1781% in vapour pressure, and decrease of 77% in cavitation number. Lastly, effects of operating factors on treatment efficacy and the success of HC system were summarized.

Abstract

This work reports the elimination of the emerging contaminant cefixime, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from Indian based drug effluent. A sequential two step electrocoagulation (EC) and photocatalytic oxidation treatment is proposed to eliminate the API below its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). This study is prominent due to the treatment of high strength crude drug effluent, with total organic carbon (TOC) of 7395 mg/l, in order to reduce the organic load with complete elimination of pre-existing microbial population. Treatment processes were conducted in batch reactors, in which, EC was carried out by two electrodes viz. Aluminum and Iron. On optimization, at 10 V and 24 V for aluminum and iron electrode, TOC was found to reduce by 14% and 22% respectively. By Fenton’s reaction with iron electrode, 41% TOC removal was observed, with reduction of cefixime to 0.01 mg/l. On step two EC with H2O2, a further 2% TOC removal facilitated in reduction of cefixime to 0.001 mg/l, determined by HPLC-MS (High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry). The sequential EC treated-diluted effluent, subjected to TiO2 and H2O2 assisted photocatalytic oxidation by natural sunlight and UV source, separately, resulted in further TOC reduction of 30% and 33% respectively. EC treatment effectively reduced the API below MIC (6 mg/l), determined by antimicrobial activity and EC-Fenton’s reaction allowed elimination of pre-existing bacteria in effluent, below the lower limit of detection (LOD) i.e., 0.5 colony forming units (CFU)/ml. Thus, this work highlights the significance of non-biological treatments of drug effluents to prevent microbial drug resistance in environment.

Abstract

Little ran of kutch is situated in Gujarat. Little ran of kutch is a deserted area. Rivers like Banas, Kankavati, Rupen, sarswati, machchhu is coming into the little ran of kutch. Water from these rives stored into little ran of Kutch. Saline water intrudes with fresh water from Suraj Bari creek area. In the month of the July to December, fresh water stored in little ran of Kutch but it becomes brackish water because of sea water intrusion. By barricading Suraj Bari creek through Suraj Bari bridge we can stop sea water intrusion in creek area. Objective of study is to check the feasibility of fresh water storage in little Rann of Kutch by storing river & primary storm water. Using ArcGIS, satellite images from Landsat 7/8 are analysed on the temporal basis from year 1995 to 2019 with temporal period of 5 years. Reservoir area is calculated from ArcGIS. Digital Elevation Modelling (DEM) is used to find the mean depth of area and after that water storage capacity is calculated. This methodology is being used to determine the storage capacity. The area of the storage is 3541 Sq. Km. and the volume of storage is 29.03 trillion liters. This study helps to find fresh water potential in little ran of kutch and it will be Asia’s biggest fresh water storage. It may end the water scarcity problem of Saurastra & Kutch region.

Abstract

Launch of Sentinel-1B satellite in April, 2016 completed the two satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation of European Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission. Calibration of this sensor was executed by European Space Agency during commissioning phase and an independent calibration by German Aerospace Center (DLR) in 2016. To assess the stability of the instrument, monitoring of the calibration parameters is required. This study reports the results of temporal stability assessment of radiometric calibration and image quality parameters of Sentinel-1B SAR data using the Corner Reflector (CR) array, Surat Basin, Australia. Impulse response functions (IRFs) generated from the CRs in the satellite images were used to derive the image quality parameters. The mean deviation of the Radar cross-section (RCS) from the theoretical value (38.40 dBm2) of 1.5m CRs (for all the dates), derived from the images, was found to be 0.53 dBm2, which is as per the absolute radiometric accuracy specified for the Sentinel-1 SAR system. Derived image quality parameters viz. the mean peak to side-lobe ratio (PSLR), mean integrated side-lobe ratio (ISLR), spatial resolutions in the range and azimuth directions were found to be as per the specified value for Sentinel-1 SAR system. The results indicated the good quality of Sentinel-1B data.

Abstract

Estimation of LWin under overcast conditions like fog, has been one of the prime challenges of modelling the radiation budget. This is due to the lack of instrumentation and regular measurements at different space-time scales, especially in tropical and sub-tropical regions. In this study, two Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were developed for LWin flux estimation under foggy sky during daytime and nightime. The models were developed using half-hourly flux measurements over different agro-climatic settings and several atmospheric parameters, from satellite observations and numerical model outputs. A comparative evaluation was made between Radiative Transfer (RT) computations and ANN-based models. The ANN models were found to have consistent performance across different sites except slightly less accuracy in sub-humid or humid climate. The ANN models showed overall RMSE of 4.4% and 4.6% with correlation coefficient of 0.9 and 0.86 for daytime and nightime, respectively with reference to in situ measurements.

Abstract

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing is a sub-branch of remote sensing, which captures information in contiguous spectral bands over a very narrow wavelength range. Hyperspectral data cube captures a large number of datasets in the form of multiple contiguous bands Data Classification divides the datasets into multiple classes for feature extraction, material identification and temporal change analysis. Selection of proper classification technique is vital for higher accuracy. Single stage classifications sometime cannot extract sub fea- tures within a single class with required accuracy. The current study deploys a multi staged classification approach for the extraction of built up and road material over a study region. The study compares the performance between various classi- fication techniques like Support Vector Machines (SVM), Maximum Likelihood, Minimum Distance and Mahalanobis Distance. Out of all classification techniques, Support Vector Machines provided the highest accuracy of nearly 90% in both the classification stages. First stage classification using SVM delivered 89.3% accuracy and further 2nd stage classification i.e., Material Identification delivered 90.0% accuracy.

Abstract

Net surface radiation defines the availability of radiation energy on and near the surface to drive many physical and physiological processes such as latent heat, sensible heat fluxes, and evapotranspiration. One of the prime challenges of modeling radiation budget is estimation of net longwave radiation. Incoming or downwelling longwave radiation (LWin) flux is one of the two key components of net longwave radiation. Its estimation in cloudy conditions has always been a challenge due to lack of instrumentation and regular measurements at different spatial scales. In this study, two artificial neural network (ANN) multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models were developed for LWin flux estimation under cloudy-sky during daytime and nighttime using half-hourly flux measurements over different agro-climatic settings and several atmospheric parameters from measurements, satellite-based observations, and model outputs. A comparative evaluation was made between existing or newly developed multivariate linear regression (MVR) models and ANN-based models. The latter set of models were found to be superior to the best MVR model during both daytime and nighttime. The ANN models were found to have consistent performance across different sites and cloud types except less accuracy in sub-humid or humid climate and in deep convection cloud. The ANN models showed overall accuracies of 2.7% and 3.3% of measured mean and R2 of 0.86 and 0.85 for daytime and nighttime, respectively, when compared with independent data of in-situ measurements

Abstract

Accessibility Analyst tool of GIS is employed to analyze the optimum accessibility dis-tance to BRT station around its immediate neighborhood. The accessibility to transit net-work is a major issue in the planning of efficient bus transit, which affects the ridership significantly. The present study analyses the catchment area, a distance-decay buffer zone with actual street network and interoperates with GIS spatial data. Three corridors with 27 existing stations, field data was collected, which includes the distance between the sta-tions, intersection distance, walking distance of commuter from different modes, age, gender, type of employment, the purpose of the trip, travel time to reach station and in-come of users. The analysis showed that the station locations is an integral part and result-ing in spatial distributions of accessibility over a neighborhood. A GIS analysis gives an opportunity to BRT operators, commuters and authorities to spatial visualization of com-muter’s accessibility from stations to its neighborhood.

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

Abstract

Unprestrained NiTinol shape memory alloy wire based tension sling damper, SMA-TSD, is developed to produce passive damper force at ground story of three story modal building. Nonlinear hysteretic behaviour of superelastic SMA is represented by one dimensional Tanaka model. SMA-TSD is characterized by linear Voigt model with equivalent stiffness and equivalent viscous damping components under seismic excitations to implement it with linear modal building. Equivalent viscous damping ratio is evaluated by proposed instantaneous damping approach more appropriately simulating practical scenario as well as constant damping approach used in other studies. Uncontrolled and controlled response of modal building are obtained to prove efficacy of superelastic passive SMA-TSD. Seismic performance indices are found to reduce substantially for controlled modal building when design parameters of passive superelastic SMA-TSD are adjusted.

Abstract

Masonry buildings made from passive stone/brick materials are acceleration sensitive and vulnerable to seismic forces. Current construction practices see a surge in use of light weight Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks. This paper studies dynamic behavior of semi-engineered AAC block masonry building models under shock loading. Two half-scale models are constructed practicing half-block joint (English bond) and full-block joint (Stretcher bond) on a unique semi-automated shock table facility. Dynamic response of long and short walls of building models are measured with reference to base excitation. Building model built with stretcher bond survives despite suffered with heavy damage and perform better than model with English bond which collapsed under series of shock loading. Long walls of models observe major damage due to out-of-plane bending modes, shear cracks and vertical separation at wall junction. Peak acceleration response of long walls shows reduction with progression of damages with reference to base excitation. Performance of AAC block masonry building is found to be at par with red-clay brick masonry building studied previously.

Abstract

Passive Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based Tension Sling Damper (TSD) is proposed to control seismic re-sponse of building represented as dynamic SDOF system. Non-linear hysteretic behavior of SMA is character-ized by Tanaka model with seismic excitations as input. It is converted to equivalent piece-wise linear elastic viscous damping model described by stiffness constant ‘keff’ and damping constant ‘ceff’ to implement it with linear dynamic system. Damping constant ‘ceff’ is evaluated for TSD for given seismic excitation at each in-stance of time defined as instantaneous damping, unlike constant damping used in other studies, to derive ac-curate seismic response of the dynamic system. Seismic response control parameters – peak and rms perfor-mance indices (PI) for displacement and acceleration, peak damper force, maximum damping ratio are evalu-ated for flexible, moderately stiff and stiff dynamic systems fitted with TSD under pulse and strong ground motion type seismic excitations with varied PGA. Substantial reduction in PI is observed for controlled sys-tems through varying design parameters of TSD – cross-sectional area and length of SMA sling. TSD yields better seismic response control for moderately stiff and flexible system due to super-elastic properties of SMA. Further, it works efficiently for seismic excitations with low to moderate PGA.

Abstract

Damping ratio is an important and central parameter for the dynamic analysis of structures. The present study focuses on the estimation of the equivalent damping ratio in a post-yield region for RC frames, both with and without infills. One-story one-bay RC frames casted non-integrally with fly ash (FA) bricks and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks infills are considered and are tested under monotonic lateral half-cycle loading. Post-yield behavior parameters, displacement ductility and maximum drift ratio, are used to estimate the equivalent damping ratio at each cycle of lateral loading, and empirical relationships are established. Secant stiffness and stiffness degradation for RC frames are also extracted to determine the contribution and effectiveness of type of infills. Free vibration tests on RC frame specimens are conducted subsequent to each cycle of monotonic lateral loading, and the damping ratio is evaluated. It is found that the equivalent damping ratio substantially increases for RC frames with the onset of damage in the post-yield region. The major advantage of the infilled RC frame is a drastic reduction in the maximum drift ratio. However, types of infill are found to yield equivalent damping ratio at par, suggesting similar energy dissipation capabilities. RC frame infilled with AAC block is recommended due to its higher initial as well as secant stiffness vis-a`-vis FA brick-infilled RC frames and higher stiffness degradation that allows it to behave similar to RC frame without infill.

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 present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of externally bonded stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) in enhancing the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) flanged beams with T-shape cross-section. To identify appropriate SSWM as a strengthening material, tension test and bond test are performed on five locally available SSWM. An experimental investigation is conducted to study the behaviour of RC T-beams strengthened by externally bonded 40 × 32 type SSWM under transverse loading. Two beams are considered as control specimen, and four beams are externally strengthened by two different wrapping configurations. All beams are tested under the two-point loading until failure. Results of experimental investigation, in terms of cracking load, ultimate load, deflection, prove the effectiveness of SSWM in shear strengthening of beams. The numerical model of controlled and SSWM strengthened T-beam specimen is also developed using finite element based software ABAQUS to validate experimental results.

Abstract

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.

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
