The strength of a material is defined as the ability to resist stress without failure.
It is important to note that High strength and High-performance concrete are not synonymous.
Concrete is defined as High strength concrete on the basis of its compressive strength measured at a given age.
In early 1970’s any concrete mixture that showed 40MPa or more compressive strength at 28 days were design as High strength concrete.
Later 60-100MPa concrete mixture was commercially developed and used in the construction of high rise buildings and long-span bridges in many parts of the world.
The reduced CO2 emissions of Geopolymer cements make them a good alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement.
Produces a substance that is comparable to or better than traditional cements with respect to most properties.
Geopolymer concrete has excellent properties within both acid and salt environments
Low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete has excellent compressive strength and is suitable for Structural applications.
The document discusses the potential for geopolymer concrete to reduce CO2 emissions from the concrete industry. Geopolymer concrete is made from industrial byproducts like fly ash rather than Portland cement, and can offer benefits like higher strength, fire resistance, and durability while reducing CO2 by up to 90% compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete. The document outlines the production process of geopolymer concrete and its advantages over traditional concrete, as well as opportunities for its future use in infrastructure projects.
This document discusses different types of light weight concrete, including light weight aggregate concrete, aerated concrete, and no-fines concrete. Light weight concrete has lower density than normal concrete, ranging from 300-1850 kg/m3 compared to 2200-2600 kg/m3. It has advantages like reduced dead load, improved workability, and applications in pre-stressed concrete and high-rise buildings. The main methods to produce light weight concrete are using porous aggregates, incorporating air bubbles, or omitting fine aggregates. Properties depend on the type and density, with compressive strengths ranging from 0.3-40 MPa.
Permeability is the property that governs the rate of flow of a fluid into a porous solid like concrete. The main factors affecting permeability in concrete are the water-cement ratio, cement properties, aggregate size and grading, curing methods, and age of the concrete. A higher water-cement ratio results in more capillary pores in the concrete, increasing permeability. Proper curing and the ongoing hydration process over time causes the permeability of concrete to decrease as capillary pores reduce in size and number. High permeability in concrete can lead to issues like corrosion of reinforcement and damage from frost.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON PROPERTIES OF GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE WITH GGBS AND FLY ASHIAEME Publication
Objective: This paper manages the quality properties of geopolymer concrete. The primary point of this anticipate is to utilize ground granulated impact heater slag and fly fiery remains set up of common Portland concrete, keeping in mind the end goal to decrease carbon dioxide emanation. Method: From this, we can look at the properties of geopolymer concrete with bond concrete. The fixings utilized as a part of this anticipate are GGBS and Fly cinder. Sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate are utilized as basic activators. The molarity of sodium hydroxide is 8M and 10M. The proportion of soluble activators is 1:2. Calcium silicate is framed when GGBS gets responded with sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. This calcium silicate goes about as a cover for coarse total and fine total. Findings: The response is said to be exothermic since the warmth is developed when calcium silicate is framed. Henceforth, the underlying warmth is not required to begin the polymerization procedure. The fly fiery remains and GGBS are supplanted in 5 distinctive extents (100% GGBS, 75% GGBS &25% Fly cider, half GGBS &50% Fly slag, 25% GGBS&75% Fly powder,). The curing is finished by putting examples at room temperature. Application: The examples are tried at 7 years old and 28 days, the test incorporates compressive quality, split elasticity, and flexure quality to contrast the outcomes and bond concrete.

A presentation on concrete-Concrete TechnologyAbdul Majid
Concrete is a composite material made from cement, sand, gravel and water. It is one of the most commonly used building materials due to its advantages like durability, fire resistance and ability to be easily formed. Fresh concrete must be properly mixed, placed, consolidated and cured. Mixing ensures uniform distribution of ingredients while consolidation removes air pockets. Curing keeps concrete saturated to allow continued hydration and improve strength over time. Proper mixing, placing and curing are necessary to achieve the desired properties of hardened concrete.
This document provides details on concrete mix design according to Indian Standard IS 10262:2009. It discusses determining proportions of cement, water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate to produce concrete with specified properties like strength and durability at lowest cost. The key steps in mix design include: selecting water-cement ratio based on strength requirements; determining water content based on workability and aggregate type; calculating cement quantity based on water-cement ratio; estimating coarse and fine aggregate proportions; and conducting trial mixes to verify mix meets requirements. The end of document shows an example mix design calculation and results.
The document discusses the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. It describes workability, segregation, and bleeding as important fresh properties. Workability is affected by water content, mix proportions, aggregate size and shape. The slump cone test and compaction factor test are described for measuring workability. Hardened properties discussed include compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity. The compression test, flexural strength test, and stress-strain relationship determination are described for evaluating hardened properties.
Lightweight concrete has a density of 300-1850 kg/m3 compared to 2200-2600 kg/m3 for normal concrete. It is made with lightweight aggregates which can be natural like pumice or artificial like expanded shale. Lightweight concrete has applications in structural and non-load bearing construction due to its strength while also providing benefits like reduced weight, improved insulation, and easier construction. Proper mix design is important due to the variable water absorption of aggregates.
This document discusses ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), a byproduct of steel production that can be used in concrete production. It has several benefits over traditional Portland cement concrete including greater strength, durability, and sustainability. GGBFS concrete exhibits improved sulfate and chloride resistance, reduces temperatures in large pours, and results in a lighter colored, smoother finish. It also enhances workability and pumpability while requiring less water. Overall, incorporating GGBFS in concrete delivers higher performance while reducing costs and environmental impact.
The document provides the specifications and design steps for a concrete mix with a target compressive strength of 25 MPa. It specifies the materials to be used including cement, fine and coarse aggregates, and their properties. An 8 step process is outlined to determine the mix proportions: (1) target strength calculation, (2) water-cement ratio selection, (3) water content determination, (4) cement content calculation, (5) aggregate volume proportions, (6) mix proportions by volume, (7) adjustments for material properties, and (8) final mix quantities. The resulting mix has a water-cement ratio of 0.467 and proportions of 1:1.5:2.696:0.467
1. The document discusses various types of special concretes including lightweight concrete, foam concrete, self-compacting concrete, vacuum concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, ferrocement, ready mix concrete, slurry infiltrated fibre concrete (SIFCON), and shotcrete.
2. Lightweight concrete uses lightweight aggregates like shale, clay, or slate to reduce density while maintaining strength. Foam concrete is made by injecting air or gas into the mix to create a cellular structure.

B-Tech Construction Material Presentaion.pptmosesnhidza
This document provides an overview of concrete, including its definition, properties, composition, testing, and uses. Some key points:
- Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates (sand and gravel), and water that can be used for load-bearing construction.
- Its properties depend on the mix proportions, water-cement ratio, and type of aggregates used. Good compaction and curing are important for strength.
- Concrete has high compressive strength but low tensile strength, so it is often reinforced with steel bars or prestressed using steel tendons.
- Aggregates make up the majority of a concrete mix by weight and influence properties like strength and durability. Proper testing of aggregates is
Analysis the Effect of Steel Fibre and Marble Dust with Strength of Pavement ...ijtsrd
The thrust nowadays is to produce thinner and green pavement sections of better quality, which can carry the heavy loads. The high strength steel fibre reinforced concrete is a concrete having compressive strength greater than 40MPa, made of hydraulic cements and containing fine and coarse aggregates; and discontinuous, unconnected, randomly distributed steel fibres. The present study aims at, developing pavement quality concrete mixtures incorporating marble dust as partial replacement of cement as well as steel fibres. The aim is to the design of slab thickness of PQC pavement using the achieved flexural strength of the concrete mixtures. In this study, the flexural, compressive and split tensile strength for pavement quality concrete mixtures for different percentage of steel fibres and replacement of cement with marble dust are reported. It is found out the maximum increase in flexure strength, compressive strength and split tensile strength is for 0% Marble Dust and 1% Steel fibre. Also it has been possible to achieve savings in cement by replacing it with marble dust and adding fibres. This study also shows that in view of the high flexural strength, high values of compressive strength and high values of split tensile strength, higher load carrying capacity and higher life expectancy, the combination of 10 to 20% marble dust replacement along with addition of 0.5 to 1% steel fibres is ideal for design of Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC).

Pervious concrete is a type of concrete with little or no fine aggregate that has a high porosity which allows water to drain through it. It has a 15-25% void structure which makes it lightweight yet still able to support compressive strengths between 3-30 MPa. Its primary use is in pavements such as parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks where it helps reduce runoff compared to traditional pavements.

Ferrocement is a thin concrete made of cement mortar reinforced with closely spaced layers of wire mesh. It is composed of a matrix of cement mortar reinforced with steel wire mesh. Ferrocement can be formed into various shapes and exhibits high tensile strength and flexibility compared to conventional concrete due to the higher steel-cement ratio. It has applications in marine structures, water and sanitation infrastructure, housing, and agriculture due to properties such as lightweight, durability, and waterproofness.
Special concrete is used when special properties are more important than normal concrete properties. It is produced using chemical and mineral admixtures added to conventional concrete mixes. There are several types of special concrete including lightweight concrete, high strength concrete, fibre reinforced concrete, ferrocement, ready mix concrete, and others. Each type has specific properties and uses in construction where standard concrete is not suitable.

Paper Title
Particle Swarm Optimization–Long Short-Term Memory based Channel Estimation with Hybrid Beam Forming Power Transfer in WSN-IoT Applications
Authors
Reginald Jude Sixtus J and Tamilarasi Muthu, Puducherry Technological University, India
Abstract
Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) helps to overcome various difficulties in future technology wireless communications. NOMA, when utilized with millimeter wave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, channel estimation becomes extremely difficult. For reaping the benefits of the NOMA and mm-Wave combination, effective channel estimation is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced particle swarm optimization based long short-term memory estimator network (PSOLSTMEstNet), which is a neural network model that can be employed to forecast the bandwidth required in the mm-Wave MIMO network. The prime advantage of the LSTM is that it has the capability of dynamically adapting to the functioning pattern of fluctuating channel state. The LSTM stage with adaptive coding and modulation enhances the BER.PSO algorithm is employed to optimize input weights of LSTM network. The modified algorithm splits the power by channel condition of every single user. Participants will be first sorted into distinct groups depending upon respective channel conditions, using a hybrid beamforming approach. The network characteristics are fine-estimated using PSO-LSTMEstNet after a rough approximation of channels parameters derived from the received data.

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

15. HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE
HISTORY OF CONCRETE:
The word concrete comes from the Latin word "concretus"
Which means compact or condensed.
German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found concrete
floors, which were made of lime and pebbles, in the royal
palace of Tiryns, Greece, which dates roughly to 1400-1200
BC.

16. INTRODUCTION TO CONCRETE:
A building material made from a mixture of broken stone or
gravel, sand, cement, and water,which can be poured into
moulds and forms a stone-like mass on hardening.
It is strong in compression and very weak in tension.
TYPES OF CONCRETE:
1) Normal concrete 5) Self Compacting Concrete
2) High Strength Concrete 6) Shotcrete
3) Air Entrained Concrete 7) High Performance Concrete
4) Light Weight Concrete
16G.GUNA SRVEC
17. HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE:
High-strength concrete has a compressive strength greater than 40 MPa.
High strength concrete is made by lowering the water cement (W/C) ratio
to 0.35 or lower.

18. Aggregate:
Methods Of Making HSC:
Use Of Admixture
Use Of Cementitious Agg
Seeding
High Speed Slurry Mixing
18G.GUNA SRVEC
19. Guidelines for the selection of materials:
The higher the targeted compressive strength, the smaller the
maximum size of coarse aggregate.
Up to 70 Mpa compressive strength can be produced with a
good coarse aggregate of a maximum size ranging from 20 to
28 mm. •
To produce 100 Mpa compressive strength aggregate with a
maximum size of 10 to 20 mm should be used.
APPLICATION OF HSC:
Use of HSC in column section decreases the column size.
Use of HSC in column decreases amount of steel required for
same column.
In high rise building, use of HSC increases the floor area for
rental purpose.
In bridges , use of HSC reduces the number of beams
supporting the slab.
