This book presents the select proceedings of the international conference on Sustainable Practices and Innovations in Civil Engineering 2021 (SPICE 2021). The topics covered include the addition and replacement of cementitious materials in concrete, thereby enhancing the strength and durability characteristics of concrete, instrumentation and testing in structural engineering, ground improvement techniques, water management, waste management, and energy efficiency and sustainability in construction. It also includes few papers in the area of environmental civil engineering and discusses key issues in the field of water resources and the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry. This book is a valuable reference to the students, researchers, and professionals in the field of civil engineering.
The performance of industrial waste incineration bottom ash and quarry dust in controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is investigated and presented in this work. The experimental investigation was carried out in two phases; preliminary and detailed. The preliminary investigation was aimed at finding the feasibility of industrial waste incineration bottom ash in CLSM application and to study the effect of refined kaolin as an additive on the performance of CLSM. Results indicated good potential for the use of bottom ash in CLSM, the addition of refined kaolin reduced the strength, but increased the concentration of contaminants and hence use of kaolin was discontinued. The detailed investigation concentrated on the study of engineering and leaching properties of CLSM. CLSM mixtures were made using bottom ash, quarry dust and cement with strength ranging from 0.4 MPa to 8.3 MPa. Results pertaining to the behavior, performance, and environmental impact of CLSM are presented in detail. Various parameters are analyzed to evaluate the performance of incineration bottom ash and quarry dust in CLSM.
"Learn Yourself STAAD.Pro V8i" is developed for the learners of the software to provide easy and clear understanding of various features and facilities available in this software. This book can be useful for students and practicing engineers of civil and structural engineering. Topics covered include model generation, loading and specifications, analysis methods, post processing of analysis results, concrete and steel design using Euro code and BS codes, report generation, wind load generation, seismic load generation, and error checking. The contents are presented a simple and lucid manner with screen shots of models wherever necessary. Each chapter contains various problems which are solved with step by step instructions. Sufficient review problems have also been listed at the end of each chapter. Key board short-cuts for various frequently used commands have been included in appendix.
