Title	:	Strength And Durabilityassessment Of Bacteria Based Self-Healing Concrete
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Meera C. M.1, Dr. Subha V.

Abstract: In recent years, there is increasing interest in the phenomenon of mechanical property recovery in concrete construction using self-healing concrete. The study was motivated by the need to find a solution for the problem of cracking approaching the concept of self-healing concrete. The study was carried out on a bacteria based self-healing concrete using Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. The present paper describes the effect of this bacteria on the strength of concrete. An investigation on the strength assessment of the bacteria-based self-healing concrete by finding out the optimum amount of bacterial content to be added to obtain maximum strength is depicted in this. Keywords - Bacillus Subtilis, Bacterial concrete, Self–healing

Title	:	Comparison Between Paper Sludge And Rice Husk Ash As A Stabilizing Agent For Soft Soil
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Meenu Prakash, Rekha Raveendran

Abstract: Soil stabilization is the alteration of property of locally available soil to improve its engineering performance. Stabilization can increase the shear strength of soil and control shrink – swell properties of soil, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub grade to support the pavements and foundation. The objective of this paper is to expose the possibilities of paper sludge and rice husk ash in soil improvement and comparison of the results. Both paper sludge and rice husk ash are waste materials which cannot be disposed easily. The main objective of this paper is to check which stabilizing agent will give more strength. This paper involves the detailed study with various

Title	:	Studies On Properties Of Self-Curing Concrete Using Poly-Ethylene Glycol
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Basil M Joseph

Abstract: Curing of concrete is maintaining satisfactory moisture content in concrete during its early stages in order to develop the desired properties. However good curing is not always practical in many cases. Therefore the need to develop self-curing agents attracted several researchers. The concept of several self-curing agents to reduce water evaporation from concrete. And hence increase the water retention capacity of concrete compared to conventional concrete. It was found that water soluble polymers can be used as self-curing agents in concrete. Concrete incorporating self-curing agents will represent a new trend in concrete construction in the new millennium .

Abstract: The present study is an attempt to understand the behavior of Concrete filled steel tubular column under axial load. A concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) column is formed by filling a steel tube with concrete. It is well known that concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are currently being increasingly used in the construction of buildings, due to their excellent static and earthquake-resistant properties, such as high strength, high ductility, large energy absorption capacity, bending stiffness, fire performance along with favorable construction ability etc. Recently, the behavior of the CFST columns has become of great interest to design engineers, infrastructure owners and researchers, therefore to understand the load deformation characteristics of composite columns

Title	:	Developing A Fuzzy Rule Based Urban Trip Distribution Model On Income Criteria Basis At Zonal Level: A Case Study
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Salini P S, B.K. Katti, Patcy Paul, Silpa J Krishna

Abstract: Trip distribution as such is the process of estimating the interchange volumes between the pair of zones in a city in four step urban transportation planning process. Several conventional methods are available in literature for this purpose in growth factor or gravity based synthetic form. But they deal mostly at macro level of a city in a mechanical way and are missing the decision taking in human perception and expressions. Trip distribution modeling owe to impreciseness and vagueness. The present paper precisely focuses on this by considering Fuzzy Rule based modeling. West Zone across the river in Surat city has been considered as study area here for micro level analysis, trip productions; attractions and impedance between the sub-zones are considered as inputs for the developed model. The outcome of the model is frequency

Authors	:	Cherian Johny, Dr.K.RSivadas2

Abstract:The Fluid power system is primarily designed to perform work. These systems use pressurized fluids to produce some useful mechanical movements. The major advantage of fluid controlled hydraulic system is multiplication of small forces to achieve greater force. Thus hydraulic powers are used for heavier load application like hydraulic press, Scissor lift, automobiles etc. The hydraulic system also shows several malfunctioning during operation

Title	:	Improving The Crashworthiness Of An Automobile Bumper
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Arun Basil Jacob1, Arunkumar O.N2

Abstract:This paper proposes a new bumper modelwhich has more crashworthiness than the existing bumper.Rate of automobile accidents are increasing each year and the main reason for it being the lack of proper safety systems in the vehicle. In case of automobiles, frontal impact constitutes 60% of the total crash cases. The project aims at improving the crashworthiness of an automobile bumper. The automobile selected for the purpose is Toyota Camry model released in 2012. The bumper of the existing model had steel bumper. The energy absorbed by the existing model was found out utilizing PTC Creo, Hypermesh and LS-Dyna softwares. LS-Dyna is used to predict accurately the material behavior during impact. Two new designs were proposed. Model containing honeycomb inside the existing bumper being the first one and foam incorporated design as the second. The analysis of the new systems and also of the existing steel bumper was done. The material models used for the study included MAT_ PIECEWISE

Abstract: An analytical method is developed,using ray theory, to determine the interior acoustic field in an embedded fluid layer excited by an obliquely incident plane acoustic wave. The magnitude and phase of the field are shown to be correct by comparison with wave theory results. The method can be extended to analyze the pressure field inside sonar domes.

Title	:	Displacement Field in a Solid Layer Embedded in an Infinite Fluid
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Merin T. Saji || Jobeena Thomas || K. P. Narayanan

Abstract:The work done is a step towards analyzing the pressure field inside a sonar dome. Acoustic waves from afar are plane when they reach the dome but the wave that is transmitted into the dome is not plane. This occurs because the dome is doubly curved and the angle of incidence is a function of the coordinates of the dome. In this paper, a ray approach is presented to determine the acoustic field when a plane acoustic wave is incident on a solid layer embedded in an infinite fluid. Ray theory is used to determine the reflected and
transmitted waves and the field inside the solid layer.
Index Terms: acoustics, sonar dome, ray theory, wave theory.
