In the construction the main material is cement and brick. Bricks are normally made by clay. Clay is main part of productive land. To solve this problem we are making brick by using non conventional (fly ash). This brick is stronger, effective and also economical than the clay brick. This process also helps in converting industrial waste material into quality building material. In the present study we are making four types of non conventional (fly ash) bricks in different percentage of cement such as 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. And after making these bricks various tests were performed such as compressive strength test, water absorption test, efflorescence and these results were compared with conventional bricks results.

Considering the frequent tectonic activities around the globe, Bamboo seems to be an adequate replacement of steel for reinforcement in concrete. In Indian and Australian tectonic plate alone, 10 percent of world's seismic activities having magnitude M5 – M7 are observed on an average in a year. Also, with the type of explosion we are facing in terms of population increase, it is also required to provide economical and safer habitat to our common man. In view of the fact that multi-storeyed buildings are popularly constructed now a days to accommodate as much lives as we can, risk of rapid deterioration in the system of conventional construction material is rising its head. With the over consumption of construction material th...

For better coverage and network, installations of great number of towers are required to be installed. Network of mobile are mainly depends upon the location of tower. The ideal condition for placing a tower is a ground and also for better coverage height of mounted antenna is the main requirement. Because of urbanization there is scarcity for the ideal land. But there is alternative for this situation is to adopt the roof top towers. Due to height of towers, it is necessary to protect the towers during the severe earthquake. In present study we reviewed the effect of seismic waves on the rooftop telecommunication towers.

This is important for achieving maximum disposal of wastes and conservation of scarce resources and materials. The non conventional bricks produced were about 29% lighter than conventional clay bricks. The non conventional bricks manufactured possessed compressive strength higher than clay bricks. This exceeds the best of load carrying clay bricks available and is several times better than acceptable commercially available common clay bricks. Other important characteristics of the non conventional bricks have been evaluated too. The values of these characteristics for non conventional bricks are excellent and have exceeded those pertaining to clay bricks. Moreover, non conventional bricks have been produced with a naturally occurring reddish colour similar to that of normal clay bricks. The new bricks and...

Three types of fly ash bricks in the different percentage of cement such as 3%, 5% and without cement are designed and then various tests such as compressive strength test, water absorption test, efflorescence, weight test, structural test were performed in order to have comparison with conventional bricks. In the experimental study it is found that the compressive strength of fly ash brick containing 5% cement is 152.1 kg/cm2 which is more than that of class I conventional bricks by 40% approximately. Effort has been made by making different proportions of ingredients having composition of fly ash, cement, lime, gypsum, and sand.

The lack of skilled workers and need of good durability has led to its development but its growth throughout the world is somewhat hindered due to use of conventional filler materials like fly ash and silica fume, particularly at places where these are not available. The need of hour is the production of SCC at economical cost, so in this study work has been conducted for the production of SCC by the use of locally available aggregate and limestone as filler to take affordability in to account. The research work includes workability tests of SCC, their application in the development of mix design for SCC and finally exploring its hardened state properties. The various properties include compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, water absorption and finally tests like carbonation test and ultra sonic pulse velocity for durability study. The SCC showed be...

These thin walled sections are being used as columns, beams, joists, studs, floor decking, built-up sections and other components for lightly loaded structures. Unlike hot rolled sections, the design of Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) section for beam is predominantly controlled by various buckling modes of failure, thereby drastically reducing their load carrying capacity. Hence there is an urgent need in the CFS industry to look beyond the conventional CFS beam sections and investigate newly proposed innovative CFS beam sections, which seem to prove structurally much more efficient. Prior to any experimental investigation of innovative beam sections, there is a need to carry out theoretical design using some of the most appropriate available methods applicable to the case under consideration. This paper focuses on such theoretical designs for various...
