The coastal Orissa, India with frequent flood and cyclone causes
water logging in most part of the year, so flexible pavements are
being found not to be suitable. The coastal areas being thickly
populated and due to above calamities people are forced to have
their houses close to the embankments and hence required rigid
concrete pavements. In India, till date only 35-40% fly ashes are
being used and unused fly ash covers vast track of valuable land as
ash pond. There is a need to use fly ash in large quantities and
high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete may be the need of the time. In
this report, the rigid concrete pavement is designed as per IRC:
SP:62-2004 (Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Cement
Concrete Pavement for Rural Roads) using HVFA concrete and a cost
comparison is made with respect to that of concrete with 0% fly
ash. Design mix for M30 grade concrete with different percentage of
fly ash replacement are studied in laboratory to find out the
effect of fly ash content on fresh concrete and hardened concrete.
The effect of curing and durability is also studied and discussed.
The rapid advance in information processing systems in recent
decades directed engineering research towards the development of
various soft computing techniques that can model natural phenomena
automatically. The new soft computing techniques (SVM, LSSVM, RVM,
MARS) is being applied successfully to solve different engineering
problems. But, the application of these new soft computing
techniques in geotechnical engineering is very little. The proposed
book will give an idea of these new soft computing techniques to
geotechnical community. The application of these new soft computing
techniques in geotechnical engineering will also be described. The
book is aimed at researchers and practitioners who are engaged in
developing and applying soft computing tools to solving
geotechnical engineering problems. It is also suitable as wider
reading for geotechnical engineering postgraduate students.
