LOW COST RIGID PAVEMENT DECK SLAB CONSTRUCTION USING REINFORCED PRECAST CONCRETE
This paper aims to point out the use of precast dense concrete rigid pavement slab deck construction using precast dense concrete trapezoidal reinforced beams, precast reinforced marble mosaic tiles and plaster of Paris. While application of full-depth precast bridge deck panels may be appealing because of an accelerated construction schedule and improved safety conditions, corrosion of steel rein...

IMPACT OF WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT IN SELECTED AREA OF JHARKHAND
Watershed has been adopted as an approach for the implementation of area development programs namely DPAP, DDP, IWDP and HARIYALI. A watershed is a natural geo-hydrological area that drains out rain water to a common point. Based on available budget, local people support and intervention with technologies, the watershed area is developed. Such viable watershed unit aims at conservation, developmen...

PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES
Fire response of concrete structural members is dependent on the thermal, mechanical, and deformation properties of concrete. These properties vary significantly with temperature and also depend on the composition and characteristics of concrete batch mix as well as heating rate and other environmental conditions. In this chapter, the key characteristics of concrete are outlined. The various prope...

CAUSES OF EARLY AGE CRACKING ON CONCRETE BRIDGE DECK EXPANSION JOINT REPAIR SECTIONS
Cracking of newly placed binary Portland cement-slag concrete adjacent to bridge deck expansion dam replacements has been observed on several newly rehabilitated sections of bridge decks. This paper investigates the causes of cracking by assessing the concrete mixtures specified for bridge deck rehabilitation projects, as well as reviewing the structural design of decks and the construction and cu...

NEW ACTIVE CONTROL METHOD BASED ON USING MULTIACTUATORS AND SENSORS CONSIDERING UNCERTAINTY OF PARAMETERS
New approach is presented for controlling the structural vibrations. The proposed active control method is based on structural dynamics theories in whichmultiactuators and sensors are utilized. Each actuator force is modeled as an equivalent viscous damper so that several lower vibration modes are damped critically. This subject is achieved by simple mathematical formulation. The proposed method d...

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF PRECAST LIGHTWEIGHT FOAM CONCRETE SANDWICH PANEL WITH DOUBLE SHEAR TRUSS CONNECTORS UNDER FLEXURAL LOAD
This paper presents the structural behaviour of precast lightweight foam concrete sandwich panel (PFLP) under flexure, studied experimentally and theoretically. Four (4) full scale specimens with a double shear steel connector of 6mm diameter and steel reinforcement of 9mm diameter were cast and tested. The panel’s structural behavior was studied in the context of its ultimate flexure load, crac...
