Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag - An Overview
-Rahul Mahajan ; Avinash Mahajan
Concrete is one of the most important materials in today's construction industry. In today's construction industry demand of concrete is increasing rapidly. As per the common practice concrete is made up of cement, aggregates and water. Cement is the major constituent material of the concrete which produced by natural raw material like lime and silica. Cement has very vast consumption in today's world. Once the day will come that there will be no natural resources available for making cement and hence there will be a need to find good alternative or replacement for cement which should have similar properties to cement. Industrial waste like Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag shows many chemical properties similar to cement. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag has designated as GGBS, GGBFS, Slag or Slag cement. Use of GGBS as cement replacement will simultaneously reduces cost of concrete and help to reduce rate of cement consumption. GGBS is the by product of iron industry.

Split-Source Inverter using SPWM and THPWM
-Bincy Aleyas ; Neena Mani; Reenu George
in electrical DC-AC power conversions, some applications need the AC output voltage to be higher than the input voltage. Thus single-stage DC-AC power converters are recently gaining higher popularity due to their features. They are in terms of size, weight, and cost. They are also less complex in nature. Different topologies exist, where the Z-source inverter, the buck-boost voltage source inverter, and the Y-source inverter are the common topologies. Another single-stage DC-AC power converter, named the split-source inverter (SSI) has some merits over the other topologies, the main being the possibility to use the common modulation schemes of the conventional voltage source inverter without any modiï¬cation. Here Sine PWM (SPWM) and Third Harmonic Injected PWM (THPWM) are given as the modulations and they are compared. The simulation is done in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The prototype of split-source inverter is setup and gate pulses are obtained from Arduino Mega2560. Read More...

Study on Strengthening of Deep Beams with Openings with GFRP
-Kethapaka Pravitha ; Deeptikar Behra
Innovations in reinforced concrete are increasing day by day. Reinforced concrete beams are largely used as trade props as a piece of toward the marine structures and foundations, dividers of fortresses and load bearing dividers in structures. The strengthening of beams with fibre reinforced polymer is seen very reliable where the beam doesn’t have any shear or torsion resistance. The fibre provides shear and torsion resistance to beam. The closeness of web openings in such beams is once in a while required to give accessibility, for instance, passages and windows or to oblige key organizations, for instance, ventilating and circulating air through and cooling conductors. Widening of such openings in light of auxiliary/mechanical necessities and/or an alteration in the building's ability would diminish the part's shear limit, thusly rendering a genuine prosperity hazard. Compelled ponders have been represented in the written work on the behavior and nature of RC significant beams with openings. Right when such improvement is unavoidable attractive measures should be taken to fortify the pole and adjust the quality reduction. The openings in Deep beam are provided as a passage for a duct pipe. The openings near beam cause the stress concentrations in beam. To resist these stress the beams are strengthened by fibre reinforced polymer. The present exploratory examination manages the investigation of profound beams containing openings and the approval of results with FEM model utilizing ANSYS. An aggregate of 5 profound beams with openings are threw without shear reinforcements and are tried under three-point stacking. Test example has a cross segment of 150x460 mm and an aggregate length of 1200 mm. Two roundabout openings, one in every shear range, are put symmetrically about the mid-purpose of the bar. The basic reaction of RC profound beams with openings was essentially reliant on the level of the interference of the normal burden way. Remotely reinforced GFRP shear fortifying around the openings was discovered exceptionally successful in redesigning the shear quality of RC profound beams. The quality addition brought about by the GFRP sheets was in the scope of 68–125%. Limited component demonstrating of RC profound beams containing openings reinforced with GFRP sheets is considered utilizing ANSYS and the outcomes are contrasted and trial discoveries. Read More...

Bridgeless SEPIC Rectifier
-Meera K R ; Sija Gopinathan; Ninu Joy
A Single phase AC-DC bridgeless rectifier with multiplier stage improves the efficiency at low input voltage and reduce the switch-voltage stress. The absence of an input rectifier bridge in the Bridgeless SEPIC Rectifier and the presence of only two semiconductor switches in the current flowing path during each switching cycle result in less conduction losses and improved thermal management compared to the conventional full bridge topology. Lower switch voltage stress allows utilizing a Mosfet with lower RDS-on. The Bridgeless SEPIC Rectifier is designed to operate in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to achieve almost zero-current turn-on in the power switches and simple control circuitry. Bridgeless SEPIC Rectifier is simulated and verified in MATLAB 2014a. Experimental results for a 20 W/40Vdc bridgeless PFC rectifiers are detailed. Read More...

A Differential Inverter using Buck Converters
-Tony Joy ; Neetha John ; Rajan P Thomas
Differential inverters are DC-AC bi-directional converters that are capable of stepping up/down and inverting the DC voltage in a single-stage. Single-stage conversion results in a more compact design, higher power density and lower cost compared to two-stage conversion. A differential inverter mainly consists of two converters. It can be buck, boost or buck-boost, according to the output requirements. Controlling of the two converters is done such that difference between their output results in an A.C voltage of required frequency. Here a differential inverter using buck converters is discussed. AC output voltage of required frequency with output voltage less than or equal to input voltage can be obtained by using this converter. The construction and controlling of this converter is very simple, which is one of the main advantages of this type of converter. Switching pulses to the converters are generated by using a control voltage which has frequency same as that of output. Two control voltages are needed which will be phase shifted by 180 resulting in 180 phase shift between the output of the two converters. As the name indicates final output is the difference of two converters. Also the magnitude of the output voltage below any input voltage value can be obtained by varying the magnitude of the control voltage. Read More...

Multispeed Right Angle Friction Gear
-Suraj Dattatray Nawale ; Prof. Vijay L Kadlag
Multispeed right angle friction gear which works on the principle of friction gear. This drives enable us to have a multi speed output at right angles by using a single output at right angles by using a single control lever. The design of the drive is based on the principle of friction, hence slip is inevitable, but in many cases the exact speed ratio is not of prime importance it is the multiple speed that are available from the drive that are to be considered. In this typical drive the power is transmitted from the input to the output at right angle at multiple speed and torque by virtue of two friction rollers and an intermediate sphere. The drive uses a singular control to effect the speed change, thereby making the operation of the drive extremely simple. Another important feature of this drive is its compactness, low weight and obviously its low cost. Read More...

Development of Light Weight Coir Reinforced Cement Concrete for Casting of Building Components
-Manoj Kumar ; Rashmi Rajput
Natural fiber like coir is available in abundance all over the world. Properties of cement concrete can be improved with an addition of natural fiber derived from coconut covering. This covering fiber (coir) has excellent tensile strength and sufficient resistance to degradation. This fiber can be used as reinforcement in place of traditional steel reinforcement for building components like lintels over door and window openings, almirah shelves etc. The outer covering of fibrous material of a matured coconut, termed coconut husk, is the reject of coconut fruit. The fibers are normally 50–350 mm long. Due to its high lignin content, coir degradation takes place much more slowly than in other natural fibers. The fiber is also long lasting. The water absorption of that is about 130–180% and diameter is about 0.1–0.6 mm. The degradation of coir depends on the medium of embedment, the climatic conditions and is found to retain its tensile strength for long time. Read More...

Studies on Fiber Reinforced Concrete
-Rachit Silawat ; Anil Kumar
Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. Concrete possesses a very low tensile strength, limited ductility and little resistance to cracking. Various types of fibre reinforced concrete are being used against plain concrete due to their higher flexural strength, better tensile strength, modulus of rupture and crack resistance. In the present investigation properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete like flexure and compressive strength are studied. Tests were conducted to study the flexural and compressive strength of steel fibre reinforced concrete with varying aspect and varying percentage of fibre. In the experiments conducted four aspect ratio were selected i.e. 40,50,60,70 and percentage of steel in each case varied from 0.5% to 2.5% at interval of 0.5%. The various strength parameters studied are compressive strength and flexural strength as per the relevant IS standards. From the exhaustive and extensive experimental work it was found that with increase in steel fibre content in concrete there was a tremendous increase in Flexural strength. It also indicates that at constant percentage of fibre, that is 1.5% by increasing the aspect ratio of fibre from 40 to 70, flexural strength increased from 36.7% to 58.65%. The research paper proposes that due to these properties of steel fibre reinforced concrete. Read More...

Studies on Repair of Concrete Elements
-Bijay Pratap Singh ; Rajendra Singh Dangi
Structural concrete is one of the most commonly used construction materials. Due to changes in the design specification for bridges, increases in legal loads, potential for over-height vehicle impacts, and general bridge deterioration, there is need for new procedures for strengthening and/or rehabilitating existing reinforced and prestressed concrete bridges. In this investigation, strengthening and rehabilitating are considered to be specific means of repairing. The problems previously noted occur in the superstructure as well as in the substructure and are commonplace for state bridge engineers, county engineers and consultants. In the past, several different materials and procedures have been used for strengthening/ rehabilitating structural concrete with varying degrees of success. Some of the procedures used may be effective initially, however, they may not be effective long term especially if the deterioration is due to chloride contamination. Thus, research was needed to develop successful repair methods/ materials for strengthening/rehabilitating various structural concrete bridge elements. Read More...

In recent years Blast Furnace Slag when replaced with cement has emerged as a major alternative to conventional concrete and has rapidly gain the concrete industry’s attention due to its cement savings, energy savings, cost savings, socio-economic and environmental benefits. The present study reports the results of an experimental study, conducted to evaluate the strengths and strength efficiency factors of hardened concrete, by partially replacing the cement by various percentages of ground granulated blast furnace slag. The optimum GGBS replacement as cementitious material is characterized by high compressive strength, low heat of hydration, resistance to chemical attack, better workability, good durability and cost-effective. The vision of being a developed nation is today’s scenario wherein considering the lowest level of individuality; everyone is focused towards ones benefits rather being philanthropists. The field of concrete technology runs in the same track wherein lot of advancement has come in where still basics play the major role. The changes adopted with respect to construction and building materials made a scope for change in the traditional way of concrete and bitumen. This is a study based on effects of Admixtures on concrete; where in the natural behavior of such is compared to that of changes in their behavior when such substances are added. It definitely causes an impact to its physical, material and characterized properties, but its implementation to the advantage of human environment makes a sensible part wherein the adverse effects are either reduced or omitted dependently. Most of the construction companies today prefer RMC from Concrete mix plants being transported to sites adding to an advantage of suitable properties of the concrete as required. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag is taken as admixture used in the concrete of respective grading and following its suitability for various purposes is categorized depending upon the results obtained. In this work we are going to study the effects of GGBS on the compressive strength of the cements concrete by replacing cement with GGBS by 10%, 15%, 20%, and 40%. This project work also includes the benefits of using GGBS and its effects on the cement and concrete properties and its durability, and its sustainability. The utilization of supplementary cementitious materials is well accepted because of the several improvements possible in the concrete composites, and due to the overall economy. This report introduces studies and the properties of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). As concrete being important constituent in construction industry, improvements need to be done in concrete. Use of GGBS improves the quality of concrete. GGBS concrete is characterized by high strength, lower heat of hydration, and resistance to chemical corrosion. In recent years GGBS when replaced with cement has emerged as a major alternative to conventional concrete and has rapidly drawn the concrete industry attention due to its cement savings, energy savings, and cost savings, environmental and socio-economic benefits. The optimum GGBS replacement as cementitious material is characterized by high compressive strength, low heat of hydration, resistance to chemical attack, better workability, and good durability and cost-effective. From this study it can be concluded that, since the grain size of GGBS is less than ordinary Portland cement, its strength at early ages is less but continues to gain strength over a long period. This report includes effect of GGBS on various physical and chemical properties of concrete. Low carbon concrete (LCC) can be produced by replacing OPC with GGBS thus reducing emission of carbon dioxide by about 60% and at the same time quality of concrete is improved. Read More...

Use of Coir Fibers for Sustainable Development
-Mahendra Shriram Golde ; L. N Malviya
Natural fiber like coir is available in abundance all over the world. Properties of cement concrete can be improved with an addition of natural fiber derived from coconut covering .This covering fiber(coir) has excellent tensile strength and sufficient resistance to degradation. This fiber can be used as reinforcement in place of traditional steel reinforcement for building components like lintels over door and window openings, almirah shelves etc. The outer covering of fibrous material of a matured coconut, termed coconut husk, is the reject of coconut fruit. The fibers are normally 50–350 mm long. Due to its high lignin content, coir degradation takes place much more slowly than in other natural fibers. The fiber is also long lasting. The water absorption of that is about 130–180% and diameter is about 0.1–0.6 mm. The degradation of coir depends on the medium of embedment, the climatic conditions and is found to retain its tensile strength for long time. Read More...

STATCOM Based Power Quality Improvement of Wind Farm Fed Multimachine System
-Gopal Rameshrao Gaikwad ; G. R. Gaikwad; P. C. Tapre; C. Veeresh
When integrated to the power system, large wind farms pose stability and control issues. A thorough study is needed to identify the potential problems and to develop measures to miti-gate them. Although integration of high levels of wind power into an existing transmission system does not require a major redesign, it necessitates additional control and compensating equipment to enable recovery from severe system disturbances. This thesis investigates the use of a Static Synchronous Com-pensator (STATCOM) along with wind farms for the purpose of stabilizing the grid voltage after grid-side disturbances such as a three phase short circuit fault, temporary trip of a wind turbine and sudden load changes. The strategy focuses on a fundamental grid operational requirement to maintain proper voltages at the point of common coupling by regulating voltage. The DC voltage at individual wind turbine (WT) inverters is also stabilized to facilitate continuous operation of wind turbines during disturbances. In recent years, with increase in the scale of wind power, the impact of wind power on grid aroused widely. Once large-scale wind power disconnect from the power grid, the stability of power grid will be seriously affected. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the wind farms remain connected to the grid in the case of grid fault in certain degree. This can be achieved by improving fault ride-through (FRT) capability of wind farm. So the aim of this dissertation is to improve Fault ride through capability can be improved by using FACTS devices.

Implementation of Novel Distribute Arithmetic Based Reconfigurable FIR Digital Filter
-G. Thanuja ; Mr. P. Ashok; Dr. V. S. R Kumari
In various telecommunication applications Digital Signal Processors are the key components in transferring the data between devices. The implementation of FIR filter on FPGA is based conventional methods increasing the need for considerable hardware resources, which in turn raises the circuit size and lowers the system speed. Most important operation performed in digital signal processing is multiply and Accumulation (MAC). Usually this operation is realized using novel hardware multipliers. The computations for sum of products can be performed more effectively using Distributed Arithmetic. This paper provides novel Distributed Arithmetic based technique to compute sum of products saving appreciable number of multiply and accumulation blocks and this consecutively reduces circuit size. In this technique multiplexer based structure is used to reuse the blocks so as to reduce the required memory locations. In this technique a Carry Look Ahead based adder tree is used to have better area-delay product. This brief presents efficient distributed arithmetic (DA)-based approaches for high-throughput reconfigurable implementation of finite-impulse response (FIR) filters whose filter coefficients change during runtime. Conventionally, for reconfigurable DA-based implementation of FIR filter, the lookup tables (LUTs) are required to be implemented in RAM and the RAM-based LUT is found to be costly for ASIC implementation. Therefore, a shared-LUT design is proposed to realize the DA computation. Instead of using separate registers to store the possible results of partial inner products for DA processing of different bit positions, registers are shared by the DA units for bit slices of different weight-age. Designing of FIR filter is done using Verilog and synthesized using Xilinx synthesis tool and Modelsim simulator. The power analysis is done using Xilinx X-power analyzer. Read More...

-Saranya Anand ; Dr. Siny Paul; Prof. Emmanuel Babu P
Lighting is an essential part of every household. Since its invention, incandescent lamps have been illuminating the whole world. In recent years, the use of energy-saving lamps such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and light-emitting diode (LED) lamps is being strongly imposed by the governments to reduce energy usage. Even these lamps require a system for providing the start-up voltage. Nowadays the electronic ballast is replacing the electromagnetic ballast almost for all types of lamps. Due to its numerous benefits over electromagnetic ballast, day after day high frequency electronic ballasts are replacing conventional electromagnetic ballasts. These benefits are mainly, higher lighting efficiency, smaller size, absence of audible noise, dimming capability, eliminating stroboscopic effect. Usually high PF electronic ballast is implemented using two power processing stages. Here single power stage circuits by integrating a DC-DC converter and an inverter is discussed. A comparative study of the performance of a bridgeless electronic ballast circuit and a bridge rectified electronic ballast circuit both supplied from a 230 V supply was done and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. The control methods using the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) and a PID controller was implemented for both the circuits. A hardware model of the basic bridge rectified circuit was designed. Arduino board was programmed for providing pulses to the hardware circuit using FLC technique was designed for a lower voltage of 12V. Read More...
