A review on analysis of characteristic behavior of the M35 concrete due to addition of crushed glass fibre

Many types of research have been currently going to modify and improved the concrete properties by the addition of different types of materials. This Experimental investigation represents the Optimum use of the fibres with the concrete mixture and will help in achieving the desired results. This Experimental work shows the investigation on M35 grade due to the incorporation of glass fibres. In this Experiment, we used the glass fibres of Filament diameter 14 microns with aspect ratio 857 at various percentages like 0%,0.4%.0.8%,1.2%.1.6 by the weight of concrete on M35 grade of mix proportion (1:1.60: 2.96) with water cement ratio 0.45. Hence, in this research, the Experimental investigations and analysis of results were conducted to study the compressive, tensile and flexural behavior of composite concrete with varying percentage of such fibres added to it. The concrete mix adopted were M35 with varying percentage of fibres ranging from 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2 & 1.6% by weight of concrete. On the analysis of test results, the concrete with straight glass fibres had improved performance as compared to the conventional concrete, which was readily available in the market. From the experimental investigation, It has been found that optimum dosage amount of glass fibre of concrete is 1.6 % by weight of concrete because at this point the compressive strength of GFRC increased up to 5 % as compared to plain concrete while the flexural Strength increased up to 53% and Split Tensile Strength increased up to 36% at 0.8% GF by weight of concrete The common person in their regular constructions could easily adopt these sustainable improvements or modifications.

Multilevel buck type DC-DC converter for high power and high voltage applications

Multilevel converters have been widely used in high voltage high power and high-frequency applications. Plenty of multilevel topologies have been developed. Medium (MV) and high voltage (HV) high power DC-DC converters have been intensively investigated to be used in several applications such as large offshore farms and subsea compressors. Normal buck converters are not suitable for HVDC applications. Thus a non-isolated buck-type multi-level DC-DC converter is introduced. The main features of this topology are the low voltage across the semiconductors, low switching losses and reduced volume of the output filter. A phase shifted PWM control method is used to avoid capacitor voltage unbalance problems. The converter is simulated successfully using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The hardware is implemented and the experimental results are verified.

Parametric analysis of multipliers

With the recent advancements, low power, low area and the quickest algorithms are in high demand. In this project, an effort is made to implement modular arithmetic operations like addition, multiplication is executed. The hardware description language used is Verilog. Each of these is implemented in Xilinx ISE 14.2 with Vertex 6 as the family and in Cadence 45nm technology. The area, power and the timings of each of these algorithms are tabulated. The layouts and the RTL schematic of these algorithms are also included. A designer whose objective is to design a system with arithmetic operations can make decision-based on these parameters. Therefore he has a stable and efficient system on his hands.

A study to assess the level of stress and coping strategies of employees among selected banks, Gwalior with a view to develop an information booklet

Occupational stress is one of the major health hazards of the modern workplace. It accounts for much of the physical illness, substance abuse, and family problems experienced by millions of blue and white-collar workers. Also, occupational stress and stressful working conditions have been linked to low productivity, absenteeism, and increased rates of accidents on and off the job. Stress and coping with stress have become important concern both in research and practice. This study conducted to assess the level of stress and coping strategies of bank employees and to associate the stress and coping with selected demographic variables. Objectives of the study are listed bellow 1. To assess the stress and coping strategies of bank employees. 2. To assess the relationship between stress and coping strategies. 3. To find out association between stress, coping strategies and demographic variables. 4. To develop an information booklet on stress and coping strategies. A descriptive research design and quantitative approach has been used in the study. Reliability of the tool was tested and validity was ensured in consultation with Guides and experts in the field of medicine and nursing. Purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the selected samples. The tool used for the study was modified job stress inventory and investigator developed coping scale. The data was collected from 100 bank employees who meet the inclusion criteria. The obtained data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of objectives of the study. Assessment of the stress level among the bank employees shows that the majority, 84% had moderate level of stress, 9% of employees had severe level of stress and 7% had mild stress. The mean was 47.93 with standard deviation of 0.04. Assessment of the coping strategies reveals that 68% of employees are having poor coping strategies, and 32%are having average coping strategies. The mean was 18.31 with standard deviation of 0.09. The study showed that there is relatively a significant negative correlation between stress and coping strategies. The correlation was found to be-0.82. Findings of the study revealed that there is significant association between the stress, coping strategies and some of the demographic variables. The study showed that the majority of respondents are suffering from a moderate level of stress and majority of respondents have poor coping strategies. The study also showed that there is relatively a significant negative correlation between stress and coping strategies of bank employees. The study found an association between stress, coping strategies and selected demographic variables such as age, marital status, duration of duty etc.

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete: Versatile building material

The lightest masonry material available in today's market is AAC blocks (Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks) whose density is about 1/3rd times of the clay bricks and fly ash bricks and about 1/5th times of the Concrete because of its foam-like structure made up of 80% of air voids while they are being used since the 1920s in most of the part in Europe still many are not accepting them in countries like India and America. Due to its lightweight and great thermal resistance, it is gaining popularity all across the world but not only it is gaining popularity because of its engineering properties but also because it is an eco-friendly product which is why even government and other organizations are promoting its usage. But this lightweight eco-friendly product is also economic as even after the initial costing is higher than clay bricks but its light weight causes the reduction in dead weight around 1/3rd times hence the total project cost decreases by 15-30%.
