Comparative Study of PSC Spun Pole using Higher Grade

Concrete without and with Discontinuous Glass Fiber

M. B. Varma, S. T. Patil* Department of Applied Mechanics, Government College of Engineering Aurangabad,

Maharashtra, India

Abstract This experimental study was carried out on the prestressed concrete spun pole of length 13 m with and without use of anti-crack discontinuous glass fiber in high-strength

concrete. The pole is having outer diameter at top and bottom as 206 mm and 379 mm

respectively. The pole is having thickness 50~55 mm. The investigations were done to study the effect of use of high dispersion discontinuous glass fiber on deflection of spun

pole when design load of 350 kg is applied to it. The investigations were also done to

study final recovery of deflection after removal of the load. The horizontal load is applied and increased in specific fractions up to design load and corresponding deflections of the

pole is measured. Simultaneously, the pole is observed for the appearance of the cracks on the surface area. Final recovery of the deflection is noted after removal of the design

load. The same procedure was repeated by increasing the load beyond the designed load.

All the above parameters (deflection, crack pattern, recovery) were observed. Considerable improvement in the properties of PSC spun poles was observed during

practical investigations.

History and Development of Design of Regime

Channels: A State of the Art Review

Govardhan1*, Allolli C. M.

1Department of Civil Engineering, NIT Raipur, Raipur, India

2Karnataka Irrigation Department, Karnataka, India

Abstract Channels carrying sediment laden water and constructed in erodible alluvial materials

must be designed to be silt stable or in regime such canals by definition neither scour nor silt. The design of channel involves the selection of channel alignment, shape, size

and bottom slope. In general, a channel changes incessantly in its position, shape and

slope, as a consequence of hydraulic forces acting on its bed and banks. The design of irrigation system was first introduced based on the theory regime put forward by

Gerald Lacey during the period 1924–1934. Some canals that were designed using Lacey theory have not been satisfactory. A common problem found in the design of

channels was siltation. In this paper the history and development of “theory of regime

channels” has been discussed. Several theories were proposed since from last three century. Brief review on all regime theories based on literature available has been

presented.

Keywords: design of channel, sediment, Regime theory

Development of Controlled Concrete by using

Hypo Sludge

N. Sivakumar*, R. Manikandan, C.K. Sidhardhan, S. Saravanan, P. Dinesh Department of Civil Engineering, Jay Shriram Group of Institutions, Tirupur, TamilNadu, India

Abstract Over 300 million tones of industrial wastes are being produced per annum by chemical

and agricultural process in India. These materials pose problems of disposal and health hazards.The wastes like phosphogypsum, fluorogypsum and red mud contain obnoxious

impurities which adversely affect the strength and other properties of building materials

based on them. Out of several wastes being produced at present, the use of phosphogypsum, flurogypsum, lime sludge, hypo sludge, red mud, and mine tailing is of

paramount significance to protect the environment.Paper making generally produces a large amount of solid waste. Paper fibers can be recycled only a limited number of times

before they become too short or weak to make high quality paper. It means that the

broken, low- quality paper fibers are separated out to become waste sludge. All the inks, dyes, coatings, pigments, staples and “stickies” (tape, plastic films, etc.) are also

washed off the recycled fibers to join the waste solids.The shiny finish on glossy magazine-type paper is produced using a fine kaolin clay coating, which also becomes

solid waste during recycling. This paper mill sludge consumes a large percentage of

local landfill space for each and every year. Worse yet, some of the wastes are land spread on cropland as a disposal technique, raising concerns about trace contaminants

building up in soil or running off into area lakes and streams. Some companies burn

their sludge in incinerators, contributing to our serious air pollution problems. To

reduce disposal and pollution problems emanating from these industrial wastes, it is

most essential to develop profitable building materials from them. Keeping this in view, investigations were undertaken to produce low cast concrete by blending various ratios

of cement with hypo sludge. This project is concerned with experimental investigation

on strength of concrete and optimum percentage of the partial replacement by replacing cement via 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 % and 70 % of Hypo Sludge.

Study on Variation of Bond using Anti Corrosive

Reagents on Reinforcing Steel Bar

K.M. Bipul Shahriar *, Sakia Azam, S. M. Hasan Ibna Mizan Design division, ACE Consultants Ltd., DOHS Baridhara, Dhaka-1206, Bangladesh

Abstract Variation of bond stress with different anti corrosive reagent was determined. When bar

is embedded in concrete it is corroded in course of time and corrosion products form pit or holes on the surface of reinforcing bar and reduce cross sectional area of steel and

also reduce bond capacity. To protect corrosion, different anti corrosive reagent are

available in the market. But the effect of bond, of reinforcing bar with surrounding concrete depending on product type is not known to users. A study are therefore felt

important in this study. It is seen that if anti corrosive reagent is used to protect corrosion as the companies claim reduces bond stress from 13-37% depending on type of

material (Brick aggregate or stone aggregate) and ratio (1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3).

Development length of rebar for situation when anti corrosive reagent is used should be increase.
