Country	:	India
Authors	:	Reshma Mathew || Binu.P

Abstract: Jorgen Breuning invented the air space and steel within a voided bi axial concrete slab in the 1990.The world-wide first application is manifested in Netherlands. The Bubble deck slab floor system can be used for story , roof and ground floor slabs. A Bubble deck slab floor is a type of flat slab; therefore it does not require beams and column heads. The Bubble Deck is a two-way hollow deck in which plastic balls eliminating concrete that has no carrying effect. Currently, this innovative technology has only been applied to a few hundred of multi-story and residential floor slabs. This paper mainly concentrates the punching shear behavior of bubble deck slab. Compared to solid slab punching shear capacity of bubble deck slab is small. In this study GFRP strips with various orientation is used as a strengthening system for bubble deck slab .Finite element analysis was carried out using ANSYS software Keywords - Bubble deck slab, GFRP, Finite element analysis, ANSYS

Title	:	Finite Element Analysis to Compare the Deflection of Steel Beam with and without Web Openings
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Resmi Mohan1, Preetha Prabhakaran

Abstract: In order to decrease the cost of steel members and to increase its stiffness, several new methods have been adopted and castellated beams are one such method. In castellated beams, first the web portion of the beam is cut in a zigzag pattern, according to the shape of the castellation to be made and then the two halves are joined together by welding. During the process of welding, the two halves are moved in such a way that the desired hole shape is formed. These openings help to provide the passage of services through the beams. This helps to reduce the overall floor height. Aesthetic appearance may also be considered as an advantage. These castellated beams have same strength as that of a solid beam

Title	:	Durability Performance of Concrete Replaced with Pond ash as Fine Aggregate
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Sreelakshmi R || Reshmi P R

Abstract: An increased demand for river sand as fine aggregate in the construction industry has resulted in the reduction of resources and an increase in cost. Under such circumstances, the pond ash which is a residue and by-product of thermal power plant can be used as an economic alternative to the natural sand. This paper deals with the strength and durability performance of concrete replaced with pond ash as fine aggregate and also the effect of integral type inhibitor namely triethanolamine is carried out. The percentage of pond ash added by weight of fine aggregate was 0,10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and that of triethanolamine was added at the percentages of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% by weight of cement

Title	:	Study of base isolation using friction pendulum bearing system
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Tessy Thomas1, Dr. Alice Mathai

Abstract:Base isolation is a technique developed to prevent or reduce damage to buildings during an
earthquake. It is a design principle by which flexible supports (isolators) are installed beneath every supporting
point of the structure generally located between the foundation and the main structure. One type of base
isolation system is Friction Pendulum System (FPS) use the characteristics of a pendulum to lengthen the
natural period of the isolated structure so as to avoid the strongest earthquake forces. In this bearing type, the
superstructure is isolated from the foundation using specially designed concave surfaces and bearings to allow
sway under its own natural period during the seismic events. Since earthquake induced displacements occur
primarily in the bearings, lateral loads and shaking movements transmitted to the structure are greatly reduced.
In this paper, finite element model of the isolator is developed and its nonlinear static analysis is done. The
analytical response of the model is studied for buildings with various storeyes and the results are interpreted.

Title	:	Review of Developments in Estimation of Wave Reflection from Coastal Structures
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Roobin V. Varghese || Kiran G. Shirlal || Bindiya Hari P. || Sabna Mohanan

Abstract: Reflection of water waves is one of the major cause of poor performance of many minor ports especially during the rough weather season. Wave reflection increases the chances of bottom scour in front of the structures such as sea walls and quays. The waves enter the basin through the open navigational channel due to refraction and reflection from the protecting structures such as breakwaters, seawalls etc. Researches are being carried out to find methods to reduce wave reflection so that the harbour can be used more efficiently. This paper examines the contributions of various researchers in predicting as well as reducing the wave reflection using innovative methods. It is found that thorough mathematical as well as experimental study is to be conducted whenever we propose new type of coastal protection structures. Issacsons method of three static probes suits for monochromatic two dimensional wave studies.

Title	:	Assessment Of Surrouding Property Value Depreciation Due To Msw Landfills - A Case Study
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Joone Joy1, George K. Varghese2

Abstract: The most common means for disposing of municipal solid waste is burial in a sanitary landfill. The existence of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in a place will have a huge physical and social impact on the adjacent community. One of the most dominant and alarming social impact of the landfill existence and operation is the property value depreciation in the neighbourhood society. This paper proposes an approach to determine the cumulative property value depreciation of the surrounding areas due to landfill existence. All cost information is based on the prevailing economic conditions

Authors	:	Sisira Sugunan , Nisha Babu, Sowparnika M.

Abstract: In today's world, conventional aggregate like river sand are beyond the reach of majority of the population due to the non-availability. Hence it is of great importance to develop a new kind of building material, which integrates green energy with self-sensing properties of functional material. Using the excellent properties of optical fiber, translucent concrete is studied by arranging the optical fibers in the concrete. The majority of glass waste is not being recycled and is the cause of serious problems such as environmental pollution. In this paper, experimental studies were conducted in order to analyze the possibilities for recycling waste glass as fine aggregate for concrete

Title	:	Improvement Of Clayey Soil By Using Egg Shell Powder And Quarry Dust
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Geethu Saji1, Nimisha Mathew2

Abstract: Clayey soils with high content of clay particles are found very weak and they cannot be used as foundation layers or as a construction material. Different methods are adopted to stabilize these types of soils to suit the specifications of construction industry. Egg Shell Powder (ESP) and Quarry Dust (QD) were used to study the effect on the properties of clayey soil. Eggshell primarily contains calcium, magnesium carbonate and protein and the quantity of lime in eggshell is almost the same as in limestone on ton for ton basis. When quarry dust is added with expansive soil it is expected that it will make it more porous, less durable, reduce cohesion etc. The main objective of this

Title	:	Effect of Polypropylene Fiber on Interlocking Paver Block
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Anila P. V1., Deepa Ratheesh2, Eldhose Cheriyan

Abstract:Paver block is widely used in various applications in street road and other construction places.
Paver block has low maintenance and can easily replace with a newer one in case of breakage or damage. The
addition of polypropylene fibers in paver block shows the change in flexural strength, compressive strength and
water absorption in comparison with standard block. Also it is helpful to improve the life span of paver block.
This paper describes the effect of polypropylene fiber on paver block of two different layers. The layers are of
mix proportion 1:1:2.17:3 in the top and 1:1.6:2.15 in the bottom layer of the paver block. Both layers contain
the addition of fiber by 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5% in each mix proportion by weight. Test result
indicates that by addition of appropriate percentage of fiber enhances compressive strength and flexural
strength of paver blocks at 7, 14 and 28 days and also minimizes water absorption.
Keywords—Flexural strength, Compressive strength and Water absorption

Title	:	Geoinformatics in sprawl modelling- An overview
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Ammu Johny1, Maya Mary mathews2

Abstract:Urban sprawl refers to the extent of urbanization. It is considered one of the most potential threats to sustainable development of a region. Unplanned and unprecedented growth of urbanization has proven to consume important land-use such as vegetation, agriculture and wetland. Sprawl is known to curb balanced resource allocation and infrastructure facilitation. It is of considerable importance to have an idea about the magnitude, direction and potential sprawl that might occur, before preparing a master plan for development. With the advance of geospatial technology it is now possible to study the history of urbanization of a region and to predict the future sprawl
