Efficacy of Quasi Agro Binding Fibre on the Hybrid Composite Used in Advance Application

The choice for natural fibre obtained from agricultural products is on the rise due to its solution to eco-friendly, environmental and improved mechanical properties concerns. Its abundant availability, low cost, emission reduction and adaptability to base material for composite make it a prime material for selection. This review explores diverse perspectives to the future trend of agro fibre in terms of the thermo-mechanical properties as it applies to advanced application in building structures. It is important to investigate the ecofriendliness of the products of composites from fibres in agricultural wastes so as to achieve a green and sustainable environment. This will come to fore by the combined efforts of both researchers and feedback from building stakeholders

On Saint-Venant's Problem for an Inhomogeneous, Anisotropic Cylinder-Part I: Methodology for Saint-Venant Solutions

In this paper, the first in a series of three, a procedure based on semi-analytical finite elements is presented for constructing Saint-Venant solutions for extension, bending, torsion, an

Federal Highway Administration Manual

At the heart of all concrete pavement projects is the concrete itself. This manual is intended as both a training tool and a reference to help concrete paving engineers, quality control personnel, specifiers, contractors, suppliers, technicians, and tradespeople bridge the gap between recent research and practice regarding optimizing the performance of concrete for pavements. Specifically, it will help readers do the following: • Understand concrete pavement construction as a complex, integrated system involving several discrete practices that interrelate and affect one another in various ways. • Understand and implement technologies, tests, and best practices to identify materials, concrete properties, and construction practices that are known to optimize concrete performance. • Recognize factors that lead to premature distress in concrete, and learn how to avoid or reduce those factors. • Quickly access how-to and troubleshooting information. 17. Key Words 18. Distribution Statement Concrete pavement, concrete materials, construction, hydration, materials incompatibilities, QA/QC, optimizing pavement performance 19.
