As catastrophic bridge collapse accidents not only cause significant loss of property, but also have a severe social impact. Therefore, the structural health monitoring of bridges for damage detection by vibration analysis gets more attention. Reinforced concrete bridges are the most common and extended structures present in the worldwide. These structures are often characterized by Piers, Abutments, deck slabs. This paper looks on the work of modelling and analysis of bridge in STAAD.Pro software, and the specific bridge model is taken of a particular span. It is subjected to vary Young’s modulus (E) in the mid span of bridge deck slab to induce damage in order to obtain maximum bending moment, as the structural strength reduces. From the analysis Mu/bd2 values from SP 16 code is used to identify the damage on the bridge deck slab, then natural frequency of the bridge, mode shapes, variation of the deflection and node displacements of bridge deck slab under the action of static and dynamic load at different aspect ratios with original design parameters and at failure is carried out in this project.
The world of manufacturing world is broadly classified into two main categories such as cold working and hot
working process. The process in the manufacturing world which is conducted above the recrystallization
temperature are called as hot working process while the process which is conducted below the recrystallization
temperature of the work piece is called cold working process.in the above categorization, the casting and
forging process is considered as the hot working process while other processes were kept under cold working
process category. The process for our review is forging and in our research paper, we are focusing on the
forging process, the types of forging process and the various parameters that are considered as a tool for the
process optimization of the forging.
IRJET - Research on Design of Semi-Polygonal Segment of Submerged Floating Tu...IRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on the design of semi-polygonal segments for a submerged floating tunnel. Key points include:
- The tunnel would float due to buoyancy and be held in place by tethers or bracings between two tunnels.
- Materials used include aluminum 6061 for the outer layer, reinforced concrete for the inner layer and structure, and expanded polystyrene foam as an insulator.
- Calculations were done to determine buoyancy to weight ratios for different segment lengths (100m, 250m, 450m) to ensure stability and proper submergence under water. Ratios of over 1 were achieved, allowing the segments to float safely.
The document provides a literature review on the properties of concrete with fractional replacement of recycled coarse aggregates. It discusses 3 main points:
1) Several studies have shown that replacing natural coarse aggregates with recycled concrete aggregates can reduce the compressive strength of concrete, but treating recycled aggregates with water and acid can improve strengths.
2) Other studies found that replacing sand with copper slag as a fine aggregate and using recycled concrete aggregates as coarse aggregates can increase compressive strength up to 30% replacement.
3) The literature review concludes that compressive strength generally increases with higher quality recycled aggregates and copper slag, and workability increases with more copper slag. Strengths are also improved by the hardness of recycled aggregates and copper slag.
Mechanical and Physical Performance of Concrete Including Waste Electrical Ca...Salih Taner YILDIRIM
This document summarizes a study on the effects of adding waste electrical cable rubber (WECR) as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete. The following concrete mixtures were tested: a control concrete without WECR, and concretes with 5%, 10%, and 15% fine aggregate replacement with WECR. Test results showed that workability increased with higher WECR content due to its shape and hydrophobic properties. However, mechanical properties like compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and ultrasonic pulse velocity decreased as WECR content increased due to the rubber's porous nature. While unit weight decreased with more WECR, water absorption increased. The study concluded that WECR can be used in concrete while expecting reductions in

Composite materials are becoming popular in various industries such as aerospace industry, automotive industry, and wind energy. We have seen global surge in the demand of composites particularly carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites, which has led to huge volume of manufacturing and end-of-life waste material. The most common way for disposing of composite waste is through landfills. However, current, and impending legislations such as Directive on Landfill of Waste, have limited the amount of composite waste permitted for landfilling. Also, for making of pristine carbon fiber requires high amount of energy if we compare it to other materials like steel and aluminium. This generates a need to find out a way to recycle and reuse the waste material or the end-of-life material in different sector applications. This study mainly focuses on the strength comparison of pristine(virgin) CFRP with recycled CFRP and conducting finite element analysis on some parts made from virgin and recycled material. Also, details about mechanical recycling, cost estimation for producing virgin material as well as for recycling the material must be taken into account.

Simulation of Stir Casting Process Using Computational Fluid DynamicsIJERA Editor
This document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to analyze how stirrer speed affects particle distribution during the stir casting process for producing metal matrix composites (MMCs). The simulations modeled copper as the semi-solid metal and silicon carbide as the reinforcement particle. Two simulations were run with stirrer speeds of 200 rpm and 400 rpm, while keeping viscosity and blade angle constant. The results showed that higher stirrer speed of 400 rpm produced a more uniform particle distribution with fewer low volume fraction regions compared to the 200 rpm simulation. Therefore, stirrer speed is an important parameter that influences particle distribution during stir casting of MMCs.

This document discusses seismic retrofitting of buildings. It begins with an introduction to the need for retrofitting structures due to factors like material deterioration over time or damage from earthquakes. The main steps in retrofitting are assessing damage through non-destructive testing and then strengthening the structure. Two case studies of retrofitting projects are described involving a water tank damaged in an earthquake and a commercial building with cracks. For both, non-destructive tests were conducted to evaluate material strength and appropriate retrofitting measures like jacketing columns and beams or adding bracing were implemented to strengthen the structures. Retrofitting can restore durability and seismic resistance without disrupting existing properties.

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs), routinely prepared from Ceramic based compositions (typically 8%Y2O3-ZrO2or 8YSZ) are being engineered to protect the metallic components from degradation in applications like gas turbines, jet and automotive engines. With a goal of finding improved TBC materials a wide variety of ceramics are being researched worldwide. Before physically preparing the TBCs of uncommon compositions in the laboratory, their suitability to perform can be predicted. Limited accessibility to detailed and realistic information on the influence of newer compositions (other than 8YSZ) on TBCs warrants methods to obtain this information.
In this paper, 8YSZ TBCs coated onto aluminium substratesare studied for thermal fatigue, thermal barrier and materials characteristics to determine the reliability of the coating configuration to withstand the harshness of test conditions under the framework of experiments. Thereafter, the results have been used to corroboratethe developed simulation model. Results obtained via thermal tests confirm the suitability of the model and we can predict the thermal barrier effects of TBCs when prepared from materials other than YSZ.

Analysis of rc bridge decks for selected national a nd internationalstandard ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
The paper presents the comparison of the effect of different standard loadings on a set of reinforced concrete bridge decks using the
finite-element method. The parameters investigated include the aspect ratio (span/width) and type of loading. The investigations are
conducted on two lane slab bridge decks of span 5m to 9.5m and two lane T beam bridge decks of span 7.5m to 20m. A total of 36
bridge models were analyzed. The variation of different critical structural response parameters such as deflection, longitudinal
bending moment, transverse moment, shear force and torsional moments are evaluated for IRC loading (IRC Class A and 70R
loadings), AASHTO loading (HL93) and Euro standard loading (LM1). The results shows that the maximum difference in deflection
and longitudinal bending moment for the two IRC standard loading ranges from 5 to 15%. While the difference between
corresponding values for the AASHTO loading in the range of 5 to 17%. The maximum axle load of euro standard loading is found to
be 2.2 times higher than IRC class A loading maximum axle load hence the values of structural response parameters are increased by
1.7 to 1.8 times. Therefore there is a need for adopting simplified and more realistic standard loads in the future.
Keywords: Bridges, Concrete deck slabs; Finite element method; T-beam bridge decks; Aspect ratio; Live load, IRC code,
AASHTO code and Euro code.

Simulation of Stir Casting Process Using Computational Fluid DynamicsIJERA Editor
This document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to analyze how stirrer speed affects particle distribution during the stir casting process for producing metal matrix composites (MMCs). The simulations modeled copper as the semi-solid metal and silicon carbide as the reinforcement particle. Two simulations were run with stirrer speeds of 200 rpm and 400 rpm, while keeping viscosity and blade angle constant. The results showed that higher stirrer speed of 400 rpm produced a more uniform particle distribution with fewer low volume fraction regions compared to the 200 rpm simulation. Therefore, stirrer speed is an important parameter that influences particle distribution during stir casting of MMCs.

It begins with an introduction to the need for retrofitting structures due to factors like material deterioration over time or damage from earthquakes. The main steps in retrofitting are assessing damage through non-destructive testing and then strengthening the structure. Two case studies of retrofitting projects are described involving a water tank damaged in an earthquake and a commercial building with cracks. For both, non-destructive tests were conducted to evaluate material strength and appropriate retrofitting measures like jacketing columns and beams or adding bracing were implemented to strengthen the structures. Retrofitting can restore durability and seismic resistance without disrupting existing properties.

This document presents an experimental study on enhancing the strength of concrete by using magnetic water and coconut fiber. Magnetic water was produced by circulating water for 1 hour using a PERMAG N406 magnetic instrument. Coconut fiber in amounts of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% was added to the concrete mixtures. The fresh and hardened properties of concrete, such as slump, compaction factor, and compressive strength were tested according to appropriate standards. The results showed that the workability of concrete increased with the addition of magnetic water and coconut fiber. The combination of magnetic water and 1.0% coconut fiber provided the highest compressive strength of concrete compared to normal concrete and other mixtures. Therefore, the study

The document investigates the effects of adding calcium chloride and geogrid on the compressive and tensile strengths of concrete. Various ratios of calcium chloride (0.2%, 0.5%, and 0.8%) were added to plain concrete and geogrid reinforced concrete. Testing found that the strengths increased with the addition of calcium chloride up to 0.5%, which provided the highest compressive strength of 33.3 MPa in geogrid concrete. Geogrid reinforcement also improved the tensile strength compared to plain concrete. The study concluded that using calcium chloride and geogrid can improve concrete strengths and that 0.5% calcium chloride provides the optimum strength increases.
Thermal and Metrological Studies on YTTRIA Stabilized Zirconia Thermal Barrie...msejjournal
Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs), routinely prepared from Ceramic based compositions (typically 8%Y2O3-ZrO2or 8YSZ) are being engineered to protect the metallic components from degradation in applications like gas turbines, jet and automotive engines. With a goal of finding improved TBC materials a wide variety of ceramics are being researched worldwide. Before physically preparing the TBCs of uncommon compositions in the laboratory, their suitability to perform can be predicted. Limited accessibility to detailed and realistic information on the influence of newer compositions (other than 8YSZ) on TBCs warrants methods to obtain this information.
In this paper, 8YSZ TBCs coated onto aluminium substratesare studied for thermal fatigue, thermal barrier and materials characteristics to determine the reliability of the coating configuration to withstand the harshness of test conditions under the framework of experiments. Thereafter, the results have been used to corroboratethe developed simulation model. Results obtained via thermal tests confirm the suitability of the model and we can predict the thermal barrier effects of TBCs when prepared from materials other than YSZ.

This document analyzes the dynamic behavior of a steel truss bridge under various combinational moving loads. A truss bridge model is created in STAAD Pro software and subjected to dead loads, live loads, seismic loads, and moving vehicle loads according to Indian codes. Natural frequencies of the bridge are determined for different load combinations including seismic loads alone and with moving loads. It is observed that natural frequencies are higher for load combinations of seismic and moving loads compared to seismic and static vehicle loads. Mode shapes of the bridge are also identified under seismic loading.

Abstract
The paper presents the comparison of the effect of different standard loadings on a set of reinforced concrete bridge decks using the
finite-element method. The parameters investigated include the aspect ratio (span/width) and type of loading. The investigations are
conducted on two lane slab bridge decks of span 5m to 9.5m and two lane T beam bridge decks of span 7.5m to 20m. A total of 36
bridge models were analyzed. The variation of different critical structural response parameters such as deflection, longitudinal
bending moment, transverse moment, shear force and torsional moments are evaluated for IRC loading (IRC Class A and 70R
loadings), AASHTO loading (HL93) and Euro standard loading (LM1). The results shows that the maximum difference in deflection
and longitudinal bending moment for the two IRC standard loading ranges from 5 to 15%. While the difference between
corresponding values for the AASHTO loading in the range of 5 to 17%. The maximum axle load of euro standard loading is found to
be 2.2 times higher than IRC class A loading maximum axle load hence the values of structural response parameters are increased by
1.7 to 1.8 times. Therefore there is a need for adopting simplified and more realistic standard loads in the future.

Analysis of rc bridge decks for selected national a nd internationalstandard ...eSAT Journals
The document analyzes the effects of different national and international standard loadings on reinforced concrete bridge decks using finite element modeling. 36 bridge deck models of slab bridges and T-beam bridges were analyzed under loadings from IRC, AASHTO, and Eurocode standards. The results show maximum differences of 5-15% in deflection and bending moment between IRC loadings, and 5-17% difference for AASHTO loading compared to IRC. Eurocode loading causes increases of 1.7-1.8 times for slab bridges and 1.3-2.2 times for T-beam bridges over IRC due to higher load magnitudes. Transverse and torsional responses also vary significantly between standards.

IRJET-Parametric Study of Bridge Piers IRJET Journal
This document presents a parametric study of bridge piers conducted using the Midas Civil finite element analysis software. Various integral pier models were analyzed with different widths and thicknesses but a constant height of 10 meters. The study aims to understand the effects of changing pier width and thickness on displacement, stresses, concrete quantity, and steel quantity. Linear static analysis was performed and results were extracted for different pier cases. The findings show that total displacement and stresses increase with decreasing pier width. Concrete and steel quantities also vary with pier width and thickness.

This document presents a study on the seismic response of wall-type bridge piers with varying superstructure widths. Finite element models of piers were developed in MIDAS Civil for superstructure widths of 8m, 10m, 12.5m, and 16m. Response spectrum analysis was conducted according to Indian codes to obtain bending stresses, natural periods, and modal mass participation. Results showed natural periods decreased for the first two modes as width increased. Stresses also decreased with increasing width. Modal mass participation saw little change with varying width. In conclusion, wider superstructures led to improved seismic performance of wall-type piers.
Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Mechanisms on Integral Abutment BridgeIRJET Journal
This document analyzes soil-structure interaction mechanisms on integral abutment bridges through 3D finite element modeling. The modeling assesses vertical displacement and bending behavior of pile foundations and main girders in different soil types (dense sand, medium sand, stiff clay, soft clay) under static loads. Results show that pile displacement is within permissible limits in dense and medium sand but exceeds limits in soft clay. Girder displacement is within code limits for all soils except soft clay. Bending moment and stress in pile foundations increase from dense to soft soils. The analysis provides insights into how soil properties influence the structural performance of integral bridges.
Parametric Comparison of Rectangular and Trapezoidal Box Girder Bridge Deck S...IRJET Journal
This document compares the structural behavior and cost of rectangular and trapezoidal box girder bridge cross-sections. A finite element analysis was conducted on each section using MIDAS Civil 2016 software. The analysis found that the trapezoidal section had 7.6% more central deflection but lower shear forces compared to the rectangular section. A manual design of the transverse sections found that the trapezoidal section used 7% less concrete and 25% less steel, resulting in lower material costs. Therefore, the study concluded that the trapezoidal cross-section represents a more cost-effective option for the box girder bridge design.
Analysis of Deck Bridge with Pre Stress Deck Bridge under IRC Loading Conditi...ijtsrd
A bridge deck is the portion of a bridge that acts as the roadway in the support of vehicular or pedestrian traffic. While deck parts like trusses, girders, rails, arches, posts and cantilevers assume a number of forms and types, there are relatively few bridge deck types given the utilitarian nature of the component. Deck types are defined by the materials from which they are made and the manner in which those materials are fit together.

This document analyzes the effect of skew on stress resultants in T-beam bridges under various Indian Road Congress (IRC) loading conditions. T-beam bridge models with spans of 14m and varying skew angles from 0-45 degrees were modeled and analyzed using CSi Bridge software. The results show that bending moment, shear force, and torsion increase with higher skew angles and heavier loadings. Specifically, IRC AA tracked loading produces 10-15% higher bending moments than IRC 70R loading. IRC AA tracked and wheeled loadings also produce significantly different stress responses, with up to 40% variation. The analysis provides guidance on the behavior of skewed T-beam bridges under IRC standard loadings.

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the dynamic behavior of a cable-stayed bridge using finite element analysis in ANSYS. A 3D model of a cable-stayed bridge was created using beam, shell, and link elements to model the deck, tower, and cables. Modal analysis was performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Time history analysis was also conducted using ground motion data to understand the bridge's response under earthquake loads. The results showed the bridge has complex vibration modes due to coupling effects and is more flexible in the vertical direction than transverse or longitudinal directions.

This document presents a study comparing the static analysis of conventional and oblique prestressed concrete bridge superstructures. The study models and analyzes both types of bridge designs using CSi Bridge software. Conventional prestressing uses tendons running longitudinally along the girders, while oblique prestressing orients the tendons at a 45 degree angle to apply prestress transversely. The analysis found that oblique prestressing can eliminate the need for transverse joints and reduce slab thickness compared to conventional methods. Increasing the spacing of oblique tendons was also analyzed to study its effects.
GIRDER DESIGN OF A BALANCED CANTILEVER BRIDGE WITH ANALYSIS USING MIDAS CIVILAM Publications
Balanced cantilever bridges are used for special requirements like 1) Construction over traffic 2) Short lead time compared to steel 3) Use local labour and materials. If continuous spans are used, the governing bending moment can minimised and hence the individual span length can increase. But unyielding supports are required for continuous construction. Hence for the medium span in the range of about 35 to 60 m, a combination of supported span, cantilever and suspended span can be adopted and bridge with this type of superstructure is known as balanced cantilever bridge. This chapter include the analysis and design of a 50m span prestressed balanced cantilever bridge which comprises of 6 numbers of Pre-Cast Post Tensioned-I Girder 38m long Simply Supported at one end and connected through a Cast-in-Situ Stitch Concrete to a Continuous Balanced Cantilever Box Girder (2x11m). The bridge structure has been modelled by Finite element Technique using MIDAS Civil and analysis has been performed to get various output such as primary and secondary bending moment, shear forces and torsion quantities at various locations of the bridge. The design of super structure is performed as per IRC standards.

Village agriculture is very important in Bangladesh. In emerging nations like our own, agriculture has a significant impact on national GDP. Basically, because of our current circumstances, the monsoons, which are agriculture's primary source of water, are insufficient. The irrigation system is used in agriculture as a solution to this issue. In this technique, the agricultural field will receive water depending on the type of soil. In agriculture, there are two factors to consider: the soil's moisture content and its fertility. There are already a variety of irrigation options available to lessen the demand for rain. An electrical power on/off schedule controls this kind of method. The use of IOT to create a smart irrigation system is covered in this article. Our method uses hydropumps to regulate multiple pumps at once, which saves time and energy. This system will have a significant impact on the national economy if we implement it.

For the agriculture sector, detecting and identifying plant diseases at an early stage is extremely important and
still very challenging. Machine learning is an application of AI that helps us achieve this purpose effectively. It
uses a group of algorithms to analyze and interpret data, learn from it, and using it, smart decisions can be
made. For accomplishing this project, a dataset that contains a set of healthy & diseased plant leaf images are
used then using image processing we extract the features of the image. Then we model this dataset with
different machine learning algorithms like Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, Naïve Bayes etc. The aim is
to hold out a comparative study to spot which of those algorithm can predict diseases with the at most
accuracy. We compare factors like precision, accuracy, error rates as well as prediction time of different
machine learning algorithms. After all these comparison, valuable conclusions can be made for this project.
Due to diagnosis problem in detecting lung Cancer, it becomes the most dangerous cancer seen in human being. Because of early diagnosis, the survival rate among people is increased. The prediction of lung cancer is the most challenging cancer problem, due to its structure of cells in human body. In which most of tissues or cells are overlapping on one another. Now-a-days, the use of images processing techniques is increased in growing medical field for its disease diagnosis, where the time factor plays important role. Detecting cancer within a time, increases the survival rate of patients. Many radiologists still use MRI only for assessment of superior sulcus tumors and in cases where invasion of spinal cord canal is suspected. MRI can detect and stage lung cancer and this method would be excellent of lung malignancies and other diseases.

As concrete is the most abundant material used in the world, it contains aggregate content of around 60 to 70 %. Since aggregate are being used rapidly there has been a scarcity in the avaibility of these materials. This research investigates the effect of partially replacing aggregates by burnt brick bats and lateritic fines in concrete respectively for M25 grade concrete. The incorporation is done for 5%, 10% and 15% of burnt brick bats for coarse aggregate and by talking 15% of lateritic fines as constant for fine aggregate by conducting compressive strength test which gave the optimum value of 15% for natural sand. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength was conducted. The results showed density of of the concrete incorporating brick and laterite was lower compared to conventional concrete, the concrete with 5% burnt brick and 15% lateritic soil showed increased strength for 7 days compared to normal concrete but when 28 days test was conducted the strength was similar to conventional concrete. The split tensile and flexural strength of replaced concrete was found to be lower than the nominal concrete.
The power supply system is completely hooked into three major parts. First one is generation, second one is
transmission and the last one is distribution of electricity supply at the range of 415V to 400V approx. But while
the fault occurs it affects other lines additionally, and this causes difficulties for local people and additionally
perturb the flow of current in different areas. This eccentric and perturbed supply of nuisance is very
hazardous as it cannot be ceased when it comes to equal distribution of electricity. The area suffering from
faults and the other both get affected. So to stop all these we have implemented this project of Coordination of
over current relay utilising optimisation technique. We have utilised crow search algorithms with Kennedy as
swarm perspicacity algorithms which are very auxiliary in storing excess electricity supply and can be used
when needed. With the avail of this we can renovate the potency supply and this will conclusively implement
our main objective of this project.
The classification of different types of tumors is of great importance in cancer diagnosis and its drug discovery. Cancer classification via gene expression data is known to contain the keys for solving the fundamental problems relating to the diagnosis of cancer. The recent advent of DNA microarray technology has made rapid monitoring of thousands of gene expressions possible. With this large quantity of gene expression data, scientists have started to explore the opportunities of classification of cancer using a gene expression dataset. To gain a profound understanding of the classification of cancer, it is necessary to take a closer look at the problem, the proposed solutions, and the related issues altogether. In this research thesis, I present a new way for Leukemia classification using the latest AI technique of Deep learning using Google TensorFlow on gene expression data.

Softmax function is an integral part of object detection frameworks based on most deep or shallow neural
networks. While the configuration of different operation layers in a neural network can be quite different,
softmax operation is fixed. With the recent advances in object detection approaches, especially with the
introduction of highly accurate convolutional neural networks, researchers and developers have suggested
different hardware architectures to speed up the overall operation of these compute-intensive algorithms.
Xilinx, one of the leading FPGA vendors, has recently introduced a deep neural network development kit for
exactly this purpose. However, due to the complex nature of softmax arithmetic hardware involving
exponential function, this functionality is only available for bigger devices. For smaller devices, this operation is
bound to be implemented in software. In this paper, a light-weight hardware implementation of this function
has been proposed which does not require too many logic resources when implemented on an FPGA device.
The proposed design is based on the analysis of the statistical properties of a custom convolutional neural
network when used for classification on a standard dataset i.e. CIFAR-10. Specifically, instead of using a brute
force approach to design a generic full precision arithmetic circuit for SoftMax function using real numbers, an
approximate integer-only design has been suggested for the limited range of operands encountered in realworld
scenario. The approximate circuit uses fewer logic resources since it involves computing only a few
iterations of the series expansion of exponential function. However, despite using fewer iterations, the function
has been shown to work as good as the full precision circuit for classification and leads to only minimal error
being introduced in the associated probabilities. The circuit has been synthesized using Hardware Description
Language (HDL) Coder and Vision HDL toolboxes in Simulink® by Mathworks® which provide higher level
abstraction of image processing and machine learning algorithms for quick deployment on a variety of target
hardware. The final design has been implemented on a Xilinx FPGA development board i.e. Zedboard which
contains the necessary hardware components such as USB, Ethernet and HDMI interfaces etc. to implement a
fully working system capable of processing a machine learning application in real-time.
Flood is the most devastating environmental hazard throughout the world causing loss of precious human lives
and damage to infrastructure. They occur by unusual overflow of water over the banks of rivers or channels
thus inundating the surrounding area. The magnitude and intensity of floods depends on hydrological and
physical characteristics of the catchment and river channel. Adverse effects of these floods can be alleviated
through mapping of floodplain which is essentially the area around the channel which is likely to be flooded.
One of the methods of floodplain delineation is modeling the river flow using computer models such as the
Hydrologic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS). In this study the application of 2D HEC-RAS
river model is used to develop a floodplain map of river Kabul.
Alur Ilmu is a concrete-cement drainage canal built since the construction of the Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia in 1970s for rain, storm, and groundwater; flowing towards the main discharge point that joins the
Langat River Selangor. In this study, water quality parameters (i.e. DO, BOD, COD, Ammoniacal Nitrogen, TSS,
pH) and heavy metal (i.e. Zinc, Cadmium, Copper, Plumbum, Manganese, Ferum, Chromium, Nickel) were
assessed along the Alur Ilmu canal at five stations from upstream to downstream and compared with Malaysian
Water Quality Index. Overall, all the research stations were in Class III (slightly polluted), and there were
highly significant differences for all the water quality parameters (p <0.001) across five stations except for BOD,
COD and TSS. The concentration means of heavy metals analyzed were below the recommendation of Standard
for Water and Packaged Drinking Water (Food Act 1985) for Malaysia except for Fe (>0.30 mg/L) and Mn
(>0.001 mg/L). However, the mean concentration of Fe and Mn in Alur Ilmu were still acceptable by USEPA; Mn
(<0.50 mg/L) and Fe (<1.0 mg/L). In conclusion, this study gives a baseline toward future better conservation
and management of Alur Ilmu as it has potential as cultural identity and recreational uses in UKM.
The compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength of Reactive Powder concrete are all
investigated in this study (RPC). The lack of ductility in ordinary concrete is considered a key concern in this
research. RPC is being explored as a solution for the aforementioned challenge as the building industry's
technology advances. Cement, sand, water, admixture, and superplasticizer are all included in the RPC. The
reactive powder concrete mixture is made by changing the percentages of super plasticizer (2%, 3% and 4%),
silica fumes (10%, 20%, and 30%), while maintaining the dose of quartz powder constant. At the outset of this
study, compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength targets of 140-160Mpa, 20-30Mpa, and
15-20Mpa were set. However, due to a change in material qualities that were locally accessible and of low
quality, the results produced after the investigation were unsatisfactory to get the findings, the RPC was mixed,
cast, cured, and tested in the concrete laboratory using three different mix proportions.
150mmX150mmX150mm cube, 500mmX100mmX100mm beam, and 150mm diameter and 300mm height
cylinder are all made of fresh concrete. The casted RPC is then cured in a water tank at room temperature for 7,
14, and 28 days before being oven dried for 24 hours at 60 degrees Celsius. The final results were documented
and discussed, as well as conclusions and recommendations based on the findings.

This research is carried out in order to improve the production of eggs in indigenous chicken by reducing the
inter-sequence stopped days through use of anti-prolactin agent (Bromocriptine) and serum from laying hen.
Sixty-four indigenous (deshi) chickens of 20-22 weeks of age, were randomly assigned into four groups (i, j, k
and l) and each group consisting of 16 hens. Control was designated as Group I and Bromocriptine orally at a
dose of 641μg/bird/day was used to treat group j, group k was treated with serum of laying kadhaknath hen
serum at a dose of 1 ml intramuscularly/bird/day and group l was treated with both Kadhaknath serum and
Bromocriptine at doses given to group j and k for the period of 15 March, 2019 to 16 June, 2019 and egg
production, stopped days, prolactin level, hematological parameter and egg qualities were observed. A
significant increase (p<0.05) in Egg production was noticed in all treated groups in comparison to the groups
which were in non- treated control and group k showed the highest production. All treatment groups depicted a
significant decrease (p<0.05) in stopped days and prolactin levels and lowest were observed in hens of group l.
In hematological values between the chicken group, no significant differences were noticed. The present study
reveals that combined treatment with Bromocriptine and serum from laying kadhaknath hen increases egg
production without affecting the health of indigenous chickens.

ABSTRACT
As catastrophic bridge collapse accidents not only cause significant loss of property, but also have a severe
social impact. Therefore, the structural health monitoring of bridges for damage detection by vibration analysis
gets more attention. Reinforced concrete bridges are the most common and extended structures present in the
worldwide. These structures are often characterized by Piers, Abutments, deck slabs. This paper looks on the
work of modelling and analysis of bridge in STAAD.Pro software, and the specific bridge model is taken of a
particular span. It is subjected to vary Young’s modulus (E) in the mid span of bridge deck slab to induce
damage in order to obtain maximum bending moment, as the structural strength reduces. From the analysis
Mu/bd2 values from SP 16 code is used to identify the damage on the bridge deck slab, then natural frequency of
the bridge, mode shapes, variation of the deflection and node displacements of bridge deck slab under the
action of static and dynamic load at different aspect ratios with original design parameters and at failure is
carried out in this project.
Keywords: Natural Frequency, Mode Shapes, Maximum Bending Moment, Deflection, Node Displacement.
I. INTRODUCTION
Roads are the lifelines of contemporary transport and bridges are the foremost vital elements of transportation
systems. They are prone to failure if their structural deficiencies are remain unidentified. Due to aging of
existing bridges and the increasing traffic loads, monitoring of bridge deck slab during service time has become
more important than ever. The structural health monitoring of bridge refers to the process of implementing a
damage detection and characterization strategy. There is a need for Structural health monitoring techniques to
supplement visual inspections as more bridges are in need of in-depth assessments and ongoing monitoring to
ensure they are still fit for purpose. Vibration monitoring is a useful evaluation tool in the development of a
non-destructive damage identification technique, and relies on the fact that occurrence of damage in a
structural system leads to changes in its dynamic properties. The dynamic response of bridges subjected to
moving loads has long been an interesting topic in the field of civil engineering. The load-bearing capacity of a
bridge and its structural behavior under traffic can be evaluated using well-established modelling. Among the
tools available today for structural investigation, dynamic techniques play an important role from several
points of view. Particularly, by measuring the structural response, they allow us to identify the main
parameters governing the dynamic behavior of a bridge, namely natural frequencies, mode shapes and
damping factors. Modal analysis, usually based on finite element method, is commonly used to determine the
vibration characteristics, such as natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of a structure
II. METHODOLOGY

distributed over small areas of contacts of wheels and form patch loads and dealt with as concentrated loads
acting at centres of contact areas. This will acquire the maximum response resultants for the layout, different
positions of every type of loading system as per IRC 6:2017 is tried at the bridge deck. The load is moved
longitudinally and transversely in small steps to occupy a large number of various positions on the deck. The
largest force reaction is obtained at each node. As per IRC 6:2017 , 2 lane of class A or one lane of class 70R
should be considered to get most response under hypothetical vehicular loading systems.

ANALYSIS
Pre analysis checks Before analysing the model, it should be checked to know whether there is any error. Then
the model should be rectified until no errors come.
Post analysis checks After a model is analysed by STAAD.Pro it is very important to check the basic
characteristics of the model.
The Maximum Bending moment in the deck slab under original design properties is noted and Mu/bd2 from SP
16 code provision for percentage of steel in tension and compression is considered.
The associated mode shapes, frequencies, and node displacement in the deck slab with the original design
properties are noted/considered for analysis.
For inducing damage/failure on the bridge deck slab, the Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in
percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) is changed in the mid span section of the bridge deck slab.
Under reduced Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck
slab of the bridge and due to change in strength property of concrete, the change in the maximum bending
moment in the deck slab at each percentage of reduction of young’s modulus of concrete(E) is noted and
considered for analysis.
The failure occurring in the deck slab of the bridge at particular percentage of reduced young’s modulus of
concrete (E) is identified by comparing Mu/bd2 value of the deck slab under original design properties with that
of the Mu/bd2 value of the deck slab under reduced Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of
5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck slab of the bridge.
Then, the associated mode shapes, frequencies, and node displacement in the deck slab with the reduced
Young’s modulus of concrete (E is reduced in percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,.etc. ) in the deck slab of the bridge

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1. The model of the solid slab bridge is done using STAAD.pro V8i (select series 6) software as per the design
details are available. The bridge in this project is analysed under the live load of class A 2-lane load. These
live loads are placed on carriageway for the analysis, based on carriageway width and number of lanes.
2. After the model is checked for the error free, the Mu/bd2 value= 6.4 N/mm2 is considered as reference, for
two way reinforced deck slab from SP 16 code for the percentage of steel in the deck slab in tension and
compression.(i.e., for Pt=2.102 and Pc=0.961)
3. A trial and error method is applied to induce damage/failure on the bridge deck slab by changing/reducing
the young’s modulus of the concrete (E) in percentages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 in the mid-span section of the
deck slab. Then, the obtained Mu/bd2 value of 6.261 N/mm2, 6.263 N/mm2, 6.3 N/mm2,6.4382 N/mm2 at
5,10,15,20,25 percentage of E reduction respectively are compared to Mu/bd2 reference value obtained
from SP 16 code.
4. It is noticed that the bridge deck slab fails at the 25% of E reduction in the deck slab of bridge. The Mu/bd2
obtainedat 25% of E reduction is greater than the reference value of the Mu/bd2.
i.e. (Mu/bd2
obtained =6.4382 N/mm2) > (reference value of the Mu/bd2=6.4 N/mm2)
5. At the failure it is observed that there is slight reduction in the frequency of vibration with respect to the
time period and there is significant increase in the deflection and node displacement values.
6. The maximum deflection in the bridge under original design parameters is 2.613mm, 2.586mm, 2.505mm…,
at the nodes 496, 498, 494 .., respectively. And the change in deflection values at the 25% of E reduction in
the bridge deck slab is 2.623, 2.595, 2.516.., respectively.
7. After the failure occurs at the node number 240, the difference in the node displacement value of the node
number 240 before and after failing under the action of static load is 13.06%. While, the difference in node
displacement value under the dynamic/live load at the aspect ratios 0, 0.50, 1.01, 1.52, 2.03 is 10.23, 16.27,
5.035, 4.6875, 0 percentages(%) respectively.
8. The frequency of vibration associated with the mode shapes of the bridge under original design parameters
is 13.510, 18.265, 19.938, 23.351, 42.434 Hz respectively. While, the frequency associated with the mode

shapes of the bridge under failure or at 25% of E reduction in the bridge deck slab is 12.929, 17.772, 19.592,
23.03, 41.169 Hz respectively. It is noticed that there is a slight variation in the frequency of vibration at
failure.
V. CONCLUSION
1. In the present study the bridge investigated is solid slab bridge with abutment type piers, under the self-
weight and live load considered of class A 2-lane type of vehicular load as per IRC: 6-2017 section Ⅱ, this
code book mainly deals with loads and load combinations for bridges. It specifies the different types of loads
and their combinations to be considered in the design of a bridge.
2. In this project damage/ failure identification in the bridge deck slab is done by Mu/bd2 values getting for
maximum bending moment in the deck slab from SP 16 code.
3. The difference in the node displacement value of the node number 240 before and after failing under the
action of static load is 13.06%. While, the difference in node displacement value under the dynamic/live
load at the aspect ratios 0, 0.50, 1.01, 1.52, 2.03 is 10.23, 16.27, 5.035, 4.6875, 0 percentages(%)
respectively.
4. The study can be extended to other types of RCC and PSC bridges with different live loads, and with other
combination of loads such as braking loads, impact loads, temperature loads and earth pressure as per IRC:
6-2017 section Ⅱ code.
5. The study can also be done on bridge piers and abutments by formulating appropriate methodology.
