The main objective of this research is to study the design philosophy of primary and secondary support of NATM tunnel for an underground metro in urban areas. The designand analysis of tunnel portion by NATM method is only considered in this research. The location consists of the varying geological formations, from soil to weathered rock.Majorly the empirical methods like Rock Mass Rating and Q-system has played a major role in underground construction.This research completely covers the construction stage modeling in FEM based analysis with comprehensive geotechnical data of Mumbai metro line-3,package7.The study also describes the instrumentation and monitoring in NATM construction. The results demonstrate that the derived primary supports from analytical methods and numerical analysis are sufficient to keep the displacement at the surface and tunnel crown within permissible limits.&nbsp;

Scarce resources in a developing country like India calls for the optimal use of the road infrastructure using scientific pavement management tools. In the process of finding ways for modifying the traditional methods of making bituminous roads, the use of waste plastic as a substitute to a certain percentage of bitumen is a promising alternative. Gradual deterioration of road infrastructure is a major concern. A vast amount of condition assessment data must be collected to identify the major defects and their causes, to plan for an optimum maintenance alternative. This study evaluates the deterioration rates of waste plastic modified bituminous roads (also called plastic roads) as compared to normal bituminous roads in the metro city of Pune, India. Measurement of deterioration is done with field tests and distress surveys. Ranking of distress parameters was done using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) where the relative importance (on Saaty’s scale) assigned to each parameter in the hierarchy was given by the experts (transportation professionals). AHP was implemented using the MATLAB package. The study reveals that the deterioration rate for plastic roads is slower as compared to conventional bituminous roads.

Performance comparison of waste plastic modified versusconventional bituminous roads in Pune city: A case study

This work has focused on investigating the comparative performance of the conventional type of offshore jacket substructure and a modified twisted-tripod jacket type (MTJ) under static and dynamic loading environment. Conventional four-legged and four number of MTJ structures, with a finite number of leg twisting angles from 0° to 90°, for supporting 5 MW NREL wind turbine were analysed for a selected site. In order to compare performance under dynamic loading, the dimensions of the structures were designed iteratively using static stress analysis to ensure that all structures had a similar level of load-carrying capability. Static analyses were performed using SACS v8 and models were imported to SAP-2000 for dynamic response spectrum analyses. The results obtained here reveal that, in addition to savings in material costs, the modified twisted-tripod jacket performs more efficiently than conventional four-legged jackets. This study has established a framework of procedure for simplified analysis of wind turbine jackets under dynamic loading environment. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Structural performance assessment of offshore wind turbine jackets-a comparative study under dynamic loading environment

India owns second largest road network in the world, being so prominent asset indicates the prerequisite for preserving it. The paper is a step towards an effort to do the same. It provides a way to analyse the outstanding factors which are more headed for affecting the pavement performance. Knowing such factors may help one to work in a way to improve the pavement performance with an eye on that influencing factor. Along with it, the work has taken an initiative by carrying prediction and maintenance modelling as an enhanced way of pavement management and preservation.

The amount of plastic waste in India is reaching a gigantic scale. Wastes from household, industries and medical facilities contribute towards this. As the plastic waste is a cause of various environmental and health hazards, its proper management that leads to an effective reuse or disposal is a concern for the Government and civic bodiesWaste plastic, when added to hot aggregates, forms a fine coat of plastic over the aggregates and such aggregates, when mixed with the binder is found to give a mix that has higher strength and resistance towards the deteriorative actions of water.Thus, (the bituminous Roads using waste plastic in the wearing course) also called as plastic roads are now gaining popularity in India. With the Indian Road Congress bringing out a code of specifications on plastic roads (IRC SP: 98 -2013), many agencies are coming forward to implement plastic roads in India as it is a sustainable method and also need of the hour. However, for a large scale implementation, the performance and longevity of these roads need to be evaluated comprehensively.This paper presents the various properties of bituminous mix with 8% waste plastic when compared with normal bituminous mix with the help of a comparative case study. In Pune, Maharashtra, India ten city roads which were overlaid with normal bituminous mix and ten roads which were overlaid by bitumen mixed with shredded waste plastic were studied for their performance over duration of two years from the time of laying of the overlays. Laboratory experiments and on- field tests were carried out to evaluate their functional and performance characteristics after they were opened to traffic. The results report an improved performance of plastic roads over the conventional ones.

Concrete is a composite material made withcement, aggregates and water in construction industry. Newinnovations and developments in construction field, the globalconsumption of natural aggregates is increasing day by dayand at the same time production of solid wastes from themanufacturing units and demolitions are also very high. Theceramic industry generates about 30 per cent wastes everyyear. Its massive part is used into landfill. Use of ceramicwastes in construction industry is very low because of absenceof guidelines, prevention of risk, less information and skills.The water which is subjected to high intense and focusedmagnetic field is called magnetized water. Magnetic watershows significant results on workability, strength andmechanical properties of concrete. However, the research onceramic wastes as partial substitute for coarse aggregate aswell as the effect of magnetic water on compressive strengthand workability of concrete has not been studied. Thisresearch has been concluded with focus on examining use ofceramic tile wastes as partial substitute for coarse aggregatesand magnetic water can prove to be useful. This experimentcontains the preparation of standard cubes of various concretemixes of ceramic waste, magnetic water and tap water. In thisproject, we have attempted to replace the various proportionsceramic wastes as coarse aggregate with normal water andmagnetic water, compressive strength and workability of theconcrete was calculated as well as various properties of theceramic waste and magnetic water are studied.

Experimental Investigation of ceramic waste concrete using magnetized water

It is expected that in upcoming days, thecommunity of civil engineering have to produce structureswith the concept of sustainable development by using highperformancematerials and new concept with lowenvironmental impact which are produced at a reasonablecost. But With development of population pollution level andimpact of pollution on human life and human health are alsoincreasing. Plastic is one of the main components of pollutionas reason is multiple Use of plastic like packaging of verities ofproduct multi-fold in, due to low price and convenience inhandling, but however, community of people is not awareabout its impact on the human health and environment onlittering or dumping. So that it is one of the most importantchallenge and need of human is to improve the performance ofconcrete and dispose waste intelligently. For that solution tobe find out with use of technology to overcome these problemsAs the Magnetic water concrete, synthesized from the normalmaterials used for manufacturing of concrete which provides10% to 20% extra strength to concrete, provides one routetowards this objective. Good thing is normal water can easilyreplace with magnetic water and dispose waste plastic bywhich quantity of cement and sand used in any concrete mixreduces and we can made as new Eco-friendly material ofconstruction for future
