The word construction comes in light then we can say that it is a way of assembling, altering or building anything. In Construction several types of material are used like bricks, sand, cement, wood, steel and so on. Construction industry is a kind of process industry that manufactures the buildings, bridges, roads, hospital, commercial buildings, cinema hall, etc. Construction industry plays a big role in the development of a country. If we want to check the development of any country we can find this out very easily by its construction & development, because the level of country’s development is reflected by its infrastructure. The infrastructure is in the form of roads, airports, buildings, commercial buildings, offices etc. As we know that construction industry is the most hazardous industry, almost daily an accident occurs on site. Hazards in construction industry are fall from height, falling of material, failure of lifting appliance, scaffolding collapse, soil collapse, vehicle struck, electric fire, unwanted material stacking at height, ergonomic effect and temporary structure failure. In this project we are using job safety analysis (JSA) methodology to control risk factor in construction industry mainly we are using JSA for this high risk activity. In JSA methodology three main components are there Job steps : in job steps the risky activity steps are splits in to parts and we dictating every steps of an activity due to this steps we split the risk and after that, Hazard identified : in job steps how to do that work activity and in this activity hazard is identified just because of their nature and we calculate the hazard, Control measures: after that we control the hazard by the control technic and control activity to reduce the hazard. In these project can apply JSA in different type of construction activities like tower crane erection, height work (form work), slab concreting, manual material handling due to job safety analysis methodology we control the high risk in construction industry. after that from this activity we are implemented them on construction site and calculate data from last five years than the accident ratio decreases and implemented the high risk activity covers by edge protection and fall protection system (ex. edge protection hard barricading, life line, floor opening close for fall protection system we are using full body harness, fall arrestor, safety net).

The nature of explosive equipment failures, and the rate of serious burn injuries in the electrical industry has been studied for many years. Detailed investigation into the arc flash phenomena by many researchers has led the NFPA to adopt arc flash guidelines in NFPA-70E (2000) for work on or near energized electrical equipment. The 2002 National Electric Code also adopted Arc Flash Hazard labeling requirements. In September of 2002, IEEE-1584 “IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations” was released, providing the detailed equations for determining arc flash energies. Proposed NFPA-70E (2003) due for adoption in May 2003 enhances the original 70E guidelines and adopts IEEE-1584 as the basis for determining arc flash energies. Arc-flash hazard studies require knowledge of both the electrical power system in a facility, and the systems electrical protection. Arc flash studies can be considered a continuation of the short circuit and coordination aspects of a power system, since the results for each are required to assess flash hazards. The effort required to perform an arc hazard assessment is greatly reduced the closer the integration between the short circuit, protective device coordination, and the arc-flash.

As we know that, plastic creates a lot of pollution in terms of solid waste; if it burns it creates abundant air pollution. We also know that, plastic is non-biodegradable. It is very essential to manage the plastic waste to save the earth, from solid plastic waste. This paper deals with the management of plastic waste, material and methods. In this study the plastic waste is reused in construction of roads. The experimentation at several institutes indicated that the waste plastic when added to hot aggregate will form fine coat of plastic over the aggregate. When this aggregate is mingled with the binder gives higher resistance to water, higher strength and far better performance over a period of time. Hence it is proposed that the use of waste plastic in construction of roads should be enhanced.

Presently a-days mishaps are overwhelming and the majority of them prompt spinal string damage. Spinal cord injury causes information travelling along spinal nerves below level of injury will completely or partially cut off this leads to paralysis. Paralysis is of two types: Quadriplegia, Paraplegia. Quadriplegia is derived from two words quadric means four and plegia stands for paralysis. When a person has spinal string damage. Above first thoracic vertebra paralysis usually affects cervical spinal nerves resulting dis-functioning of four limbs. These quadriplegic patients are suffering with many problems such as the person cannot walk himself and cannot be able to do his work with his own. In some cases the patient suffering from quadriplegic could not even speak. To help these quadriplegic patients to communicate we wish to propose a new mechanism where they will be able to communicate to anyone by various types of head movements as that is the only controllable part in their body.

The human body is comprised of numerous cells which have their own uncommon qualities. The vast majority of the cells in the human body develop and split to frame another cell of an indistinguishable kind from they are required for appropriate working of the human body. At the point when those cells lose control and create in a wild way, it ascends to a mass of undesired tissue shaping a cancer. Mind cancer is the human mass of tissue in which cells develop and duplicate wildly. These mind cancers might be installed in the zones of the cerebrum that gives the delicate working of the body to be incapacitated. Its area and dynamic spreading limit gives its treatment extremely unpredictable and hazardous. X-ray is for the most part utilized as a part of the biomedical to recognize and conceive better subtle elements in the inner structure of the human body. This technique is fundamentally used to distinguish the distinctions in the tissues which have a far enhanced strategy when contrasted with figured tomography. So this makes this system an extremely unique one for the mind cancer identification. This framework, a programmed division strategy in view of Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), investigating little 3X3 portions is recommended. The utilization of little portions permits planning a more profound design, other than having a beneficial outcome against over fitting, given the less number of weights in the system. Additionally utilization of force standardization as a pre-preparing step examined the, which however not normal in CNN-based division strategies, turned out to be extremely viable for cerebrum cancer division in MRI pictures. Cancer is a standout amongst the most widely recognized cerebrum infections on the planet.

The planet is at the mid of a threat due to the waste generated by human beings all around the world. The production of an increasing quantity and complexity of wastes pose a serious question to the future of the planet. The estimated quantity of only Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) generated worldwide is around 2 billion metric tons. In many cases, municipal wastes are not well managed in developing countries, as cities and municipalities cannot cope with the accelerated pace of waste production. Waste collection rates are often lower than 70 per cent in low-income countries. More than 50 per cent of the collected waste is often disposed of through uncontrolled landfilling and about 15 percent is processed through unsafe and informal recycling. Electronic waste (e-waste) is also one of the fastest-growing pollution problems worldwide given the presence of a variety of toxic substances which can contaminate the environment and threaten human health, if disposal protocols are not well managed. The key to success in terms of waste management is to develop eco-design devices, properly collect waste, recover and recycle material by safe methods, dispose of waste by suitable techniques, forbid the transfer of waste to developing countries, and raise awareness of the impact of waste. No single tool is adequate but together they can complement each other to solve this issue.

Unprecedented growth of traffic volume has resulted in accelerated process of ambient air quality deterioration along major roadways. This paper is focused on determination of ambient air quality near a major traffic intersection and to determine the pollutant dispersion along major roadways of institutional and commercial study areas using CALINE4 Gaussian based dispersion model. Maximum traffic density was noticed near to the commercial area and peak traffic hours were noticed from 10:00 am to 11:00 am and during afternoon 04:00 pm to 05:00 pm. The NO2 and SO2 concentrations were found to be more in the commercial area than the institutional area. NO2 concentrations were more during winter season (14-23 µg/m3) than summer season (8-18 µg/m3). Statistical analysis revealed that, CALINE4 model prediction was poor in correlation with observed NO2 concentrations. However, based on statistical analysis model prediction was better during winter season than summer season.

Now days the high rise or multi story building, soft story construction is a typical feature because of suburbanization and the space occupancy deliberations. .Due to massive growth in population, parking spaces is big attentions for the apartments in the towns. Hence new tendency for utilize the ground story for a parking’s, also for office spaces or conference hall etc., soft story at different levels of structure are constructed. After 26th January 2001, Gujarat Earthquake and other earthquakes in India, there is a nation-wide attention to the seismic defenselessness assessment of existing buildings. In the past earthquake has shown that the buildings with simple and uniform shapes are subjected to less damage. Regularity and continuity of stiffness in the horizontal planes as well as in vertical direction is very important from earthquake safety point of view. A building with discontinuity is subjected to concentration of forces and deformations at the point of discontinuity which may leads to the failure of members at the junction and collapse of buildings. Opening in first story is a typical feature in the recent multistory constructions in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in buildings built in seismically active areas; this has been verified in numerous experiences of strong shaking during the past earthquakes. Though multistoried buildings with open (soft) ground floor are inherently vulnerable to collapse due to earthquake load, their construction is still widespread in the developing nations like India. This story level consisting with the concrete columns which are not able to provide tolerable shear resistance, hence damages and collapses are may often observe in soft story buildings during the earthquake. In this experimental study, the focus is on the investigation of the effect of a soft story on the behavior of a structure and effect of masonry infill on building construction.

The working of the reciprocating pump is very simple and just like an I.C engine. First of all the piston has the function of providing the suction force, so that the liquid can be lift up and can be sucked in with great force. After that comes the compression part which will bring the required pressure energy to the fluids. In this part of the phase the piston have to do a great work so that the liquid can be compressed properly and its pressure can be increased to the desired level. The inlet and the outlet valve open at a certain pressure which is set by the manufacturer. If the piston is of single acting type which means it can suck from one side and transmit to the same side only. But we can have the double reciprocating pump too which have the function of the giving suction and discharge simultaneously in each stroke. This pump can be used as the compressor also but for that we have to have a good valve arrangement which can operate with good efficiency. Note: It is to be noted that the reciprocating pump is a positive displacements pump which means that the fluid can only move in one direction and can never reverse back. So due to this the pump is always started with outlet valve open otherwise the pressure will keep on building and this will lead to rupturing of the pipeline or even the pump itself. But if relief valve is fitted then this pressure will come down.
