Authors: Srijan  , Gupta A.K. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
The various geotechnical construction technique is being primarily used of the ground improvement. The current advancement of industrial and urban growth and also the need for the wider access to the land have resulted in the development of various soil improvement methods. Stone column happens to be one among the best possible available methods for the improvement of soft/weak soil. This paper tries to indicate the review of the ground improvement by one of the existing method of stone column from the already present literature and standards. In this method, the soft soil is being enforced with a column of stone which is installed in the system. The high permeability of the stone column’s material portion not only increases the soil’s load carrying capability, but also decreases soil settlement, up to a certain extent and thus minimizes the settlement to occur after the construction. In order to reach this goal, various essential characteristics of stone columns have been considered in relation to design parameters.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
In present study, different compositions of concrete mixes with marble dust and nano-silica have been prepared and studied with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to evaluate different phases formed during hydration reaction. Formation and extent of phases formed during hydration reaction occurring for different curing days can be successfully correlated with the shifting of FTIR bands in various concrete samples. FTIR results demonstrate the shifting in peaks in presence of marble dust and nano-silica as compared to control mix. Decrease in intensity of Raman bands at 1636 and 3400-3650 cm−1with curing time was observed due to hydration of C3S and C2S. The bands observed at 1475 and 890 cm-1also shift towards lower wave number side 1450-1460 cm−1with increasing nano-silica content. These peaks are correlated with extent of carbonation which gets decreased in the presence of nano-silica. In addition to this, bands corresponding to ettringite, monosulphate and C-S-H molecules at 1180, 1120 and 980 cm−1 also shift towards lower number side with increase in concentration of nano-silica and marble dust.

Abstract
Highway Development and Management (HDM-4) is comprised of decision-making tools used to assess the economic, social, and environmental viability of project development proposals to arrive at the best investment decisions. The entire system is built on various functions of pavement performing under numerous structural and environmental influences. The present work aims to study pavement distress and deteriorations prevailing on rural roads. At each stage, the road deterioration models predict impacts of distress at different rates and scenarios over each of the study sections. The analysis presents alternative maintenance and improvement strategies that could be implemented judiciously under scheduled or responsive routine assessments of road performance. Moreover, the analysis and output data for distress projection as obtained from HDM-4 is also validated from the existing pavement deterioration condition of the selected sections. The comparison of deterioration before and after works and the economic indicators delineated that Overlay for rural road sections is considered to be the most suitable alternative possible among others. Furthermore, the validation of the deterioration levels as predicted through HDM-4 indicates very low variation in the range of 2%-10% from the existing pavement deterioration levels. The results of this study are useful for developing pavement maintenance management strategies for rural roads network with similar characteristics.

Authors: Pareek Shubhra , Sharma Sachin , Behera Debasis 
Published: August 2021

AbstractGenerally, the metallic equipment is fabricated from copper metal due to its enormous application in various industries. Nevertheless, many applications of copper are confined just because it communicates with aggressive chloride ion present in seawater. The behavior of chloride ion accelerates corrosivity, for example, crevice and pitting corrosion initiation, and their circulation on metal surface and lessen the efficacy of the metal by reducing its life span. Notwithstanding, this review paper explicitly examines eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors (CI) in chloride contaminated Natural sea-water for the security of ‘copper metal’ from corrosion. In this review article, the emphasis has been given to green inhibitors owing to better protection ability, effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. The literature furnishes the recognition of the different behavior of green inhibitors and their execution in chloride contaminated marine environment with their polarization efficiencies.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
Water pollution is the major concern of this era. Industrial developments, agriculture patterns, construction processes and unsustainable mining have contributed to increased level of pollutants in most of the fresh water bodies across the globe. This review categorizes different sources of water pollution and focuses on remediation of wastewater through microbial applications. The point source pollutants can be remediated using ‘at source’ microbial bioreactor installations. This work concludes that hybrid biofilm reactors and membrane bioreactors can be utilize for the removal of micro-pollutants. However, anaerobic bioreactors are more efficient in treating wastewater having high concentration of organic matter.

Abstract
Revitalization of crafts is widely talked about as the need of time for the survival of crafts and crafts people, especially in India. Crafts are pertaining to practices of making objects with indigenous knowledge passed down from generations. In a country like India crafts make the backbone of the economy as majority of the population has their primary mode of income. Today, globalization and industrialization has caused a setback in crafts as there are cheaper alternatives available for the same in the market. Employment opportunities have paved way for migration of craftsmen to other work sectors. It is necessary for revitalize the crafts sector to avoid loss of indigenous knowledge and practice. This process of metal casting has been used for over 4000yrs in India and is still practiced in major clusters. The major clusters that practice bell metal casting in Chhattisgarh are in Bastar, Kondagaon, Surguja and Ektaal (Raigarh). Both Bastar and Kondagaon are well established at international levels, creating products infused with different materials and crafts such as wrought iron. Ektaal is comparatively backward, the artisans are not promoted at a large scale at international level but are slowly making their mark at the global market. In this paper we will discuss about the Interventions at Ektaal cluster, which were deemed necessary for the craft to survive in the present market conditions. The main objective is to understand the impact of revitalization in the cluster, through various social, technological and design interventions by Government scheme and organizations. The method adapted for the study is based on literature and one to one physical survey of craftspeople, and government officials. The study established the issues, impacts and setbacks of the technology and design interventions.

Authors: Singh Sandeep , Rajesh Vidya , Panda Rajesh Kumar , Moses Santhakumar S. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Many pieces of research have concentrated on traffic speed, time headway, space headway, and so on under non-lane-based heterogeneous traffic streams. In contrast, limited studies have been conducted for analyzing and modeling the vehicular lateral position. The lateral position of vehicles plays an equally vital role in the development of microscopic models. Moreover, the vehicle characteristics such as the lateral position and speed are considered independent in the traffic simulation modeling, ignoring their correlation. This study investigates the relationship between the lateral position of vehicles with traffic speed on rural highways. For this purpose, the traffic data related to different vehicles’ lateral positions and speed were collected using an infra-red sensor instrument from the National Highways in India. The relationship of vehicles’ lateral position with the traffic speeds under different ranges is analyzed to understand their dependence. The study results show that the relationship between vehicles’ lateral position is significantly associated with the traffic speed. The study findings help formulate a microscopic simulation model to reproduce accurate maneuvering in the traffic stream, which is useful for analyzing traffic characteristics.

Published: August 2021

Abstract
The study is focused at delineating the major causes of air pollutants in Delhi NCR region in different aspects specifically in terms of computation of Air Quality index. The major air eight pollutants are considered for calculation of Air Quality index i.e. CO, NO., SO2, PM2.5, PM10, O3, NH3, and Pb. The prediction of air pollution is performed in two phases. The first phase computes the Air Quality Index values for all the pollutants in a day. The second phase computes threshold value of Air Quality Index as an average of previous values. The air pollution for the days in chosen month is predicted by comparing the threshold value with the average of the previous two-month values. A computer aided program is drafted and compiled on JAVA programming language of Oracle Corporation using BlueJ development environment in order to compute the Air Quality index. The program uses pollutant level values user enters and it analyses the different levels for pollutants and thereafter computes the Air Quality index level of every pollutant and tells the prominent pollutants along with its final computed value. The AQI generated can be used to analyse the level of exposures a person faces in day-to-day life and how remedies can be opted to cure the exposure towards indoor air pollution. The collected pollutants data and computed Air Quality index shows that the people in DELHI-NCR region are exposed to huge air pollution and it is relevant to the indoor air quality also.
The study lessening that the air contaminations at indoor, individuals should utilise the clean energies and an improvement should be done in ovens to consume the fuel productively and vent outflows to the outside. Air cleaners that can improve the air quality productively can be helpful to cop up the scenario.

Analysis and design of axially loaded columns with ternary mineral admixtures and glass fiber for sustainable concrete composite
Authors: Badrinath N , Bramha Chari Kanneganti J 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Concrete is a composition of cement, aggregates, and H2O. An increase in the usage of cement for concrete leads to an increase in CO2 emissions and non-renewable resource usage is also increasing, which is very problematic for future generations. So, to minimize the CO2emission which is released from the cement, the cement should be replaced by the mineral admixtures. In this research Fly ash and GGBS are used in two different grades of concrete i.e., M20-Ordinary Concrete, M40-Standard Concrete by the weight of cement. The replacement of fly ash and GGBS proportions are CM (0:100), RM (25:25:50), these proportions are followed in the above two grades of concrete. To enhance the performance of research work, columns are using as casting specimens. The dimensions of the columns are 1000mm × 150mm × 150mm. The axially loaded column is tested under the loading frame for an axial compressive load. Respectively 0.5% of glass fiber is added to the proportional mix by volume of concrete for two different grades of concrete, to enhance the strength parameters of the concrete and to decrease the cracks that are obtained on the specimen. The final experimental results are compared with the analytical results with Finite Element Analysis (FEM).
