This waste can be repurposed as recycled aggregates in new concrete production, offering sustainable solutions and addressing resource management and environmental concerns. This literature review explores the utilization of construction and demolition waste as aggregates in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), with a focus on key areas, including the suitability of RAC, its fresh properties, mix design, mechanical characteristics, and durability. Researchers such as Khalaf and Oikonomou have endorsed demolition waste as a reliable alternative, particularly for fire-resistant applications. Additionally, Kumar Neeraj Jha has emphasized global challenges and the critical need for government support to promote the widespread adoption of recycled aggregates. Fresh property studies conducted by Girish and Panda have underscored the significance of yield stress and plastic viscosity for RAC's concrete performance. Notably, mechanical characteristics studies indicate that RAC can match the mechanical strength of conventional concrete, with potential improvements achievable through the incorporation of supplementary materials and innovative techniques. Durability studies have showcased RAC's potential for enhancements through surface treatments and the use of supplementary cementitious materials. This work provides insights into the current state of research on recycled aggregate concrete, emphasizing its potential to address environmental concerns while maintaining structural performance in construction applications.2024-03-05T07:56:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTCET/article/view/7549MODELING EARLY COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE PARTIALLY REPLACED WITH HETEROGENEOUS PALM KERNEL SHELL INFLUENCED BY VOID RATIO AND PERMEABILITY2024-02-18T07:01:11+00:00Eluozo S.

S.ndusolo2018@gmail1.comEgbebike Jndusolo2018@gmail1.com<p>The study monitored the partial replacement of palm kernel shell as an aggregate for concrete production, this was carried out using modelling and simulation techniques, such condition were applied to determine other parameters that their significance impact may have not determined its growth rates in terms of compressive strength. The study observed the void and permeability of the material, including heterogeneity, to influence the increase and decrease of compressive growth rate, such conditions monitored were examined in their various impact during the simulation of the system in determining the compressive strength, the simulation observed increase at 0% of the partial replacement and experience gradual decrease with respect to increase in percentage of replacement of palm kernel shell [PKS] as agg As a consequence, the obtained target strength may be used to component materials of light weight concrete ranging from [C 15-C20]. The study is necessary because the application of modelling concrete simulation techniques has explained the detailed impact of strength level of development on palm kernel shell as an aggregate in development of such target strength.</p>2023-12-28T12:34:24+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTCET/article/view/7548Experimental Investigation on Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Fly Ash2024-02-18T07:01:11+00:00Ushaa Eswarandrushaaeswaran@gmail.comJ. Saibabadrushaaeswaran@gmail.comN. Narasimhadrushaaeswaran@gmail.com<p>Fly ash is increasingly used as a supplementary cementitious material to partially replace cement in concrete. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the strength properties of concrete with varying percentages of fly ash replacement, from 0% to 25% by weight. The fresh, hardened, and durability properties of high performance concrete with fly ash percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% were studied. The test results indicate that 20% fly ash replacement showed highest compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths compared to other replacement levels. Microstructural analysis also revealed refined pore structures and reduced calcium hydroxide content with fly ash incorporation. Cost analysis indicates that 15-20% fly ash replacement can provide significant cost savings compared to plain cement concrete for construction projects. The environmental benefits in the form of reduced landfill disposal and carbon footprint are also noteworthy. Thus, fly ash can be a viable sustainable material to manufacture durable and high strength concrete while benefiting environment and economy.</p><p> </p>2023-12-28T12:33:27+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTCET/article/view/7547Enhancing Concrete Strength: Investigating the Impact of Glass Fines on Mechanical Properties2024-02-18T07:01:11+00:00Kishan Lal Jainkishan.jain@skit.ac.inShruti Bhargavashrutibhargava222@gmail.comMehul Agarwalkishan.jain@skit.ac.in<p>The global emission of CO2 from cement industries poses a significant environmental challenge, being a primary contributor to environmental issues. Numerous researchers have explored alternative cementitious materials to formulate robust and long-lasting concrete. This study focuses on utilizing waste glass powder (GlP), derived from rejected soda-lime glass bottles collected from various sources, for experimental purposes. The laboratory experiments investigate the behavior of concrete incorporating glass as a partial substitute for cement in varying percentages, ranging from 5% to 25% at intervals of 5% by weight of cement. The assessment of mechanical properties includes compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. Additionally, properties such as the modulus of elasticity of concrete (MoE) and resistance to abrasion are examined. Microstructural analysis is conducted using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The findings indicate that incorporating GlP up to 15% enhances the mechanical properties of concrete. Notably, the performance of GlP in terms of abrasion resistance and modulus of elasticity surpasses that of the control mix. These significant results underscore the suitability of glass fines for producing sustainable and environmentally friendly concrete. </p>2023-12-28T12:32:31+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTCET/article/view/7545STUDY OF EFFECT OF SSI ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF AN IRREGULAR RC STRUCTURE ON SLOPING GROUND AND ITS RESPONSE CONTROL BY USING BRACINGS2024-02-18T07:01:11+00:00Omkar Avinash Ratnaparkheratnaparkheo@gmail.comS.N. Deshmukhratnaparkheo@gmail.com<p><em>Structures located on sloping terrain surface are more susceptible to earthquake because of uneven plan and elevation irregularities. Lately, high-rise buildings have been design with various plan and elevation irregularities to elevate their visual aesthetics. In the most of cases, the structural analysis under an earthquake load has been done without considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), thereby it may not reflect the actual seismic response of the structures. In the present study an attempt is made to examine the effects of flexible base i.e. considering SSI and fixed base i.e. without SSI on the seismic response of an irregular structure on sloping ground and to regulate its seismic response by using bracings. A RC framed of G+14 structures on sloping ground by considering medium soil are considered for the study having regular rectangular shape and other having irregular T-shape in plan. Response spectrum analysis (RSA) including SSI has been carried out in ETABS software to obtain the response of building. It is observed that inclusion of SSI into the analysis shows the effect on response of structures and its effect on parameters like modal mass participation, storey displacement, max storey drift, torsional displacement, modal time periods and base shear. It is also seen that by placing the bracing at suitable location in a rectangular as well as t- shape building with inclusion of SSI, the seismic response of structure is reduces effectively.</em><strong><em></em></strong></p>2023-12-27T11:25:19+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technologyhttps://engineeringjournals.stmjournals.in/index.php/RTCET/article/view/7546Comparison of Estimates, BIM based software VS conventional method2024-02-18T07:01:11+00:00Pritam Patilpritampatil5662@gmail.comJaydeep Mohanrao Shindejms@amgoi.edu.in<p><em>Now a day technology is changing rapidly, from first computer to AI it is making our lives more simpler and less error prone. Construction is one sector that has adapted to new technologies swiftly and successfully. The long process of sketching quantities by hand from paper copy to CAD has been streamlined thanks to the introduction of BIM. It's common knowledge that the building industry uses a broad range of estimating tools, but there are always innovative ways to make the process easier. Research shows that including BIM in cost projections does not lead to any reduction. A new wave of QTO tools is on the horizon, as evidenced by the rise of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in recent years. This paper aims to approach BIM based software in a simpler way to achieve full cost for a building and comparing with a more practiced method.</em></p>2023-12-27T09:35:19+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Recent Trends in Civil Engineering & Technology
