Risk assessment and safe handling practices while using Asbestos in industries

Asbestos is the name given to a group of mineral fibers that was widely used as a building material prior to 1990s in a variety of products due to excellent strength, insulation, and fire resistant properties. The chrysotile fiber is also known as “White Asbestos” is used in the manufacturing of asbestos cement roof sheets and asbestos fiber cement sheets by implementing the “INDIAN STANDARDS” ( IS 11451, IS 11767, IS 11768, IS 12078, IS 12079, IS 12080). The principal concerns are the development of Asbestosis, Lung cancer, Pleural thickening, and mesothelioma. These concerns can be controlled and prevented at a minimum level.

Home automation and security systems using IoT and open source platforms

This paper discusses the design and implementation details of home automation, monitoring, and security system using the Internet of Things (IoT) and some open source technologies. The IoT is the network of physical objects or “Things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and exchange data. The user here can interact directly with the system through a web-based interface over the Internet, while monitoring and control of domestic home appliances such as lights are remotely controlled through a user-friendly web page. Monitoring is carried out by sending the sensor data to an open source platform called Thinger which shows the status of the device and also the location of the device with values of the sensor.

Analysis of multistoried building using E-Tabs

The main objective of this project is to protect the building by designing it as earthquake resistance structure. “Base Isolation’’ is one of the most widely accepted seismic protection system used in building a structure in an earthquake-prone area. There are many types of base isolation systems but Lead rubber Bearing (LRB) is used as base isolation system in this project, LRB is most widely used as isolation system for a building. So, in this paper, we analyzed the structure with base isolation by using E-Tab software & by adopting a Time History Analysis Method. Base Isolation system for the building is introduced to decouple the building structure from potentially damaging effect by earthquake motion and to make a comparison between the isolated base & fixed base building.

Design and development of planetary gearbox for variable performance

In the commercial cars, the generally conventional gearbox is used, but in an all-terrain vehicle and military combat vehicle automatic transmission is used, where continuous variable transmission (CVT) is coupled with the epicyclic gearbox or generally recognized by the planetary gearbox. In this type of gearbox, we are establishing a gear train with high torque in a compact and light package. Here we are designing single stage planetary gearbox with co-axial alignment. Epicyclic gearing arrangements are comprised of four different elements that produce a wide range of speed ratios in a compact layout. These elements are: (1) Sun gear, an externally toothed ring gear co-axial with the gear train; (2) Annulus, an internally toothed ring gear co-axial with the gear train; (3) Planets, externally toothed gears which mesh with the sun and annulus; and (4) Planet Carrier, a support structure for the planets, co-axial with the train. The name "epicyclic" is derived from the curve traced by a point on the circumference of a circle as it rolls on the circumference of a second fixed circle.

Data governance in smart factory: Effective metadata management

Most of the enterprises recognized the importance of Data governance and started data governance programs either at the Enterprise at the individual Business units level. Data governance councils at various levels in an enterprise define and enforce data quality and security, using policies, standards, and Procedures. The success of Data governance program is heavily relying on people or team who is governing the data governance council. However, Data governance is best implemented by leveraging people, process, and Technology. In the past, subject matter experts of individual data domains maintained the metadata, which is a critical component of data governance. Efficient and automated metadata management, which can be established today by leveraging technology and process not just SMEs, has the potential to mitigate the risk of people dependency. Smart factories, which are heavily automated, generates data at a scale and speed which were never seen before by manufacturing industry, and face the crisis to maintain the data quality, and to make the data available for analytics for any further use. Data generated by smart factories are diverse and are mostly stored in distributed systems, which further increases the complexity of data governance through metadata management. Efficient metadata management, mostly automated, can help smart factories to achieve Data governance goals, and help to provide data as a service. This paper discusses the shortcomings of Hybrid data governance model – acknowledged as the better model for data governance by industry – and proposes a system architecture which has all the benefits of the hybrid model in addition to improvements that are necessary for a smart factory.

Investigation on permeability characteristics of pervious concrete

Abstract: Concrete is widely used structural material consisting essentially of a binder and a mineral filler. Concrete has been the leading material since it was used and is bound to maintain its significant role in the upcoming future due to its durability, adaptability to any shape and size and many other applications. It is a composite material produced by mixing cement, inert matrix of sand and gravel or crushed stone. Pervious concrete is a type of concrete that has a low water-cement ratio and contains none or very little amount of sand. In the present paper the behavior of pervious concrete has been studied experimentally to reduce urban heat island effect and sustainable solution. Various specimens were prepared with Cement/Aggregate (C/A) ratio of 1:3 and 1:5 by adding super plasticizers (0.2% & 0.3%) and varying size of aggregates. The water-cement ratio was kept constant 0.30. Different properties of pervious concrete e.g. compressive strength, split tensile strength, rebound hammer test at 28 days and Infiltration rate test for C/A ratio of 1:3 and 1:5 have been studied experimentally. Experimental results showed that strength of pervious concrete decreased with the increase in C/A ratio and also the permeability is decreasing with the increase in strength i.e., with the decrease in C/A ratio.
