A Comparative Assessment of Nano-SiO2 & Nano-TiO2 Insertion in Concrete
ABSTRACT One of the concrete that is becoming famous for its usage nowadays is nanoconcrete and our paper deals with the fact that nanomaterials (like nano-SiO2 & nano-TiO2) when added in optimized proportions to a standard M-40 Grade concrete improves its both fresh and hardened properties (both short term & long term).The results simply corroborated […]
Capsula Mundi: An Organic Burial Pod
ABSTRACT In ever growing populated world there is no enough space to accommodate the remains of the deceased, so the concept of capsula mundi has been developed by Italian designers Anna Cielli and Raoul Bretzel. Capsula mundi is an organic burial pod made of natural starch plastic in which body of deceased is placed in […]

Determination of the Search Direction in Quadratic Constrained Optimization
ABSTRACT This paper provides a method for computing search direction for constrained nonlinear optimization problems. We discuss some important differences in formulation and solution that arise in quadratic programming based methods for nonlinearly constrained optimization with particular emphasis on the treatment of inequality constraints. Some issues including incompatibility or ill-conditioning of the constraints determination of […]
Performance and Emission Characteristics of Exhaust Gas Recirculation System and Ethanol Operation in SI Engine
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the use of an Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR) system on a given Spark Ignition engine for studying the performance and emission characteristics. For various openings of EGR-Valve, experiments are carried out on a set of loads varying from 0 to 15 percent of engine loads at a cruising speed of […]
Studies on Effect of Mineral Admixtures on Durability of Self Compacting Concrete
ABSTRACT This paper presents durability study on self compacting concrete (SCC) with various partial replacements of fly ash, silica fume and combination of both fly ash and silica fume. The slump, V-funnel and L-Box test are carried out on the fresh SCC and in harden concrete compressive strength and split tensile strength values are determined. […]
