Abrasive cut off wheels are commonly used in cutting different types of engineering materials, including both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The parting wheel consists of hard inorganic abrasive held in place by a binder phase or bond. The most common problem faced during abrasive cut-off operation is the premature failure of the cut off wheel due to its low strength. In the present work woven roving type glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin cut off wheels were developed with silicon carbide (120 grit size) as abrasives and the ball mill setup which is made in aluminium and silicon carbide introduced in this project. The reinforcement of glass fibre with epoxy resin provides high strength to the wheel and prevents the premature failure of the parting off wheel. A mild steel die was used for fabrication of the parting off wheel. The developed wheels were used to cut a wide variety of harder materials die steel, copper and aluminium the wear ratio was measured for each material. The glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin parting off wheels were found to have better cutting ratio for cutting of heavy grade materials.

Results of an experimental investigation on the effects of concrete materials-, mix- and workmanship-related variables, on the Rebound Number and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of concrete, are presented. The investigations aimed at developing a method of combined use of both the non-destructive tests for assessment of strength of concrete with greater accuracy. Workmanship variables included different lengths of moist curing, incomplete compaction and intentionally induced flaws. Rebound Hammer readings increased with the compressive strength of concrete. Ultrasonic pulse velocity values were greatly influenced by the cements and aggregate, extent of moist curing and presence of flaws and voids in concrete, more than their influence on the measured strengths. This demonstrates the limitation of using ultrasonic pulse velocity tests for estimating compressive strength of concrete.IS: 13311 advocates combined use of Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and Rebound Hammer tests for assessment of concrete strength in structures with greater reliability. However, the approach is qualitative. Adopting such an approach in a quantitative manner, multiple regressions of both Rebound Numbers and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity on compressive strength of concrete, led to a series of graphs for better assessment of strength.

The concept of U-shaped bridge girder is now being increasingly adopted in urban metro rail projects and for replacing old bridges where there is a constraint on vertical clearance. These bridge decks are commonly designed in practice using simplified methods that assume beam action of the webs in the longitudinal direction and similar flexural action of the deck slab in the transverse direction. However, such assumptions can lead to errors. This paper attempts to assess the extent of error in the simplified analysis, by comparing the results with a more rigorous three-dimensional finite element analysis (3DFEA). A typical prototype railway bridge girder has been taken as a case study. The results of the 3DFEA, in terms of load-deflection plots, have been validated by field testing. It is seen that simple beam analysis generally predicts good results, except for some local stress concentrations. Deformation increases as span increases and results are validated with both methods SBM and FEM.

In this project, the concept of cold energy storage with flooded tube is discussed. Special attention was paid to the design and analysis of flooded tube. Demands for energy savings and improved energy efficiency are becoming increasing day by day. A very promising possibility is the storage of energy whose main objective is to deliver the cold energy when the system is running on peak load. Cold thermal energy storage by itself is not ultimately an energy savings technology; first of all it is a cost savings technology. By shifting chilling operations to off-peak times, when demand and energy rates are decreased, significant money savings can be realized. Among built environment, buildings are maximum energy intensive consumers of energy and main contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. Maximum demanded energy for buildings is thermal energy because of its thermal energy-consuming appliances such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and domestic hot water (DHW) systems. In order to supply the achieved amount of energy to these appliances, most of the time conventional energy sources are used which are not eco-friendly and hazardous.

The test procedure and structural behavior are discussed and compared to predictions from alternative methods of analysis. The prototype satisfied primary design objectives for behavior and could offer significant advantages relative to current design practice for power transmission structures. Currently, many resources exist to help designers accurately define and apply transverse loads to power transmission structures. However, there is less guidance available for longitudinal loads such as those applied by broken conductors. Current practice focuses on mitigating the effects of cascade events rather than stopping them altogether. An alternative approach for considering longitudinal loading is discussed that could prevent cascades through the use of the prototype structure that can sustain high loads while undergoing large longitudinal deflections. Such an approach could increase system reliability and security while reducing both initial and life-cycle costs of the power transmission infrastructure.
