Drowsiness is observed to be a major contributor for road accidents, around 100,000 accidents per year.[1][2] Drowsiness is a silent killer as many are unaware of the risk entailing drowsiness unlike drunk driving as no system exist to measure drowsiness. Driver failing to concentrate on the road leads to a lesser reaction time and impaired steering behaviour. This paper proposes a low cost, ideal system to detect drowsiness unobtrusively and avoid accidents pertaining to the cause by taking preventive measures. Two primary inputs proposed in this work to accurately quantify the drowsiness are Camera Vision (CV) and Pulse rate sensor (PRS). CV quantifies the magnitude of eyelid closure and PRS obtained signal is used to detect pulse associated with the state of drowsiness. The proposed system uses Support Vector Machine (SVM) to classify the two states for drivers i.e. Drowsy State and Non-Drowsy State. When the driver exhibits alarming levels of drowsiness preventive measures are taken to avoid accident.

Expansive soil possesses peculiar properties such as swelling and shrinkage. In monsoon, these soils absorb water and swell, whereas in summer they shrink due to evaporation of water. Due to such behavior of soil it is inappropriate to rely on the strength characteristics of these soils. In order to improve the soil characteristics, different stabilizing materials are used in varying percentages, so that they can match the specifications of the construction industry. Generally, various waste byproducts of certain industries are required to be used as stabilizers in order to achieve the goal of their disposal as well as its utilization to improve the properties of the soil. One such waste, called as the Foundry Waste was used to study the effect of such stabilization on the black cotton soil which is an expansive soil. This study is an attempt to analyze the effect of Foundry waste on Expansive soils, for improvement in compressive strength and swelling-shrinkage characteristics and increase its suitability for effective use in construction. The swelling and shrinkage of a soil layer of expansive soil results into failure in the form of settlement and cracking. Use of foundry waste to stabilize soil is an attempt to establish how the waste material with no significant application, can be used in construction industry and replace their chemically manufactured counterparts. The proportion for addition of foundry dust was taken as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% for optimum utilization of waste material and to understand the behavior of Expansive Soil blended with it by performing various tests.

Building materials are always regarded as essential components for constructing living spaces which would help in good habitation of human beings. One of the most commonly used materials is brick that is used to construct any area. The cost & nature friendly is considered as one of the factors to decide the efficiency of the material along with other properties that contributes to the strength & durability of the whole structure. From ancient times our one of the major concern is related to housing and we have used many methods to build our homes using various materials & in that process the brick has also gone under a revolution of changes making it commercially more accessible along with making it more productive in terms of fulfilling the requirements. The concept of Adobe bricks came in the early days when there was little technological advancement took place though the quality of mud, made the prospect of using these type of bricks very famous for construction of houses which could be seen even in the present time especially regions of Sahara desert & areas which are less likely to be get any moisture trouble. The durability & its degradation in quality coming in contact with moisture posed a serious concern over the maintenance of the structure resulting in the decreasing value of Adobe bricks & at present the conventional brick we use for general construction work are considered far superior in terms moisture absorption & cost effective nature. With mud being the primary material for producing Adobe bricks it is seen that with addition to mud if the composition is altered by adding chemicals mainly fiber components would result in enhancing the ability of the brick to sustain the effects of moist climatic regions.
