| Group members | VIKAS SINGH(38) UTSAV SINGH(37) ANKUSH NIRALA (21) RAJ VELHAL (47) |
| Abstract | As due to global warming the temperature on earth increases rapidly, as temperature get increases it affects the hydrological cycle on earth. The term climate change is basically increases or decreases in global temperature, extensive snow and ice melting and raising a sea level over past several decades. Hence we can going to analyses the change in hydrological parameters like rainfall, runoff, precipitation, discharge, humidity, soil erosion, sedimentation and evaporation etc over a few decades. In the present study we are going to do hydrological modeling of Cauvery river basin by using GIS based Arc SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) Model. This Model can help us to quantify all hydrological parameters which can impacts climate change over whole watershed. GIS Hydrological model can provide us spatial information regarding with slope, aspect and watershed or catchment area. As well as it also can gives the terrain analysis which includes DEM (Digital Elevation Model) it can gives slope of land surface and shoes the direction of flow, terrain roughness, vegetation types and soil types, which can gives infiltration and evapotranspiration rates, and hence we can get actual surface flow of water. The present study is simulating the monthly runoff using Arc SWAT model. Various types of data are used for calculation of runoff, Effect of precipitation on Stream flow and Direction of stream flow. Remotely sensed data and GIS have been used to prepare thematic maps of the watershed. |

| Abstract | We cannot imagine civil engineering structures without concrete. Concrete is a backbone of infrastructural development and hence manufactured in large quantities. In the last decade the use of mobiles have increased manifold and their average life is less than two years because of the introduction of newer and updated mobiles. Mostly they are not in use and discarded. On the other hand large amounts of e waste is generated every year and out of which a very small percentage of e-waste is treated by either recycling it or reusing it. E-waste like non-metal parts in PCB’s (printed circuit boards) can be recovered & used as an ingredient in concrete. Our project suggests that we can use these e-waste as an ingredient in green concrete. By using e-waste in production of green concrete we can improve the strength and durability properties. This green concrete reduces almost 30% C02 emission and helps in sustainable development without environmental pollution. |

| Abstract | This paper investigates on analysing and improving the road drainage system of the city of Mumbai by either increasing the capacity of drains or by providing more openings. As we all know drainage is a big concern to the city of Mumbai when it comes to monsoon season and any season overall the corrupt and negligent action shown by the government authorities has crippled the overall waste and water management of the city and the condition gets worse by the coming of the monsoon every single year. One of the main hurdle in achieving the project is the amount of organisations which govern the city of Mumbai. The multiplicity of these agencies result in delay in permissions and also sometimes no permission is granted. For this project to be successful, the agencies must keep their differences aside and work as one unit. This project will increase the capacity of drains by 3 times and the floods of the city will never occur again. Every time Mumbai becomes idle due to excessive rainfall, a loss of 100 crores a day is estimated, by preventing this we will save a lot of money. Drainage systems can prevent water accumulation that can lead to flooding by directing the water away from your home. Water that over-accumulates in your yard may kill plants. Drainage systems also prevent the accumulation of stagnant water, which can encourage mosquitoes to breed. This study addresses modern problems which require modern solution hence this topic is titled as modernization of road drainage system. |

| Group members | Shubham Khetal 17 Harshit Tripathi 42 Vikas Ingole 12 Yash Thakkar 40 |
| Abstract | Soil stabilization is a process which improves the physical properties of soil, such as increasing shear strength, bearing capacity, etc. Expansive soils such as black cotton soil have always problem of swelling, shrinkage & unequal settlement. Soil stabilization is the process which enhances the properties of soil by mixing of plastic in various proportions. Stabilization increases the load bearing capacity of soil by mixing of plastic fiber in different percentage in expansive soils. Effect of mixed plastic in varying proportion on Mass Dry Density (MDD), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), specific gravity and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) on Black Cotton Soil. By using the above test on the black cotton soil the compressive strength and its property is increased by using plastic. Plastic waste is become one of the major problems for the world. We have selected a soil find the specific gravity, liquid limit, Plastic limit, standard proctor test is carried out to find the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content. Then triaxial test is carried out to find the shear strength of the soil. We have to check the changes in soil parameter by varying the percentages of plastic to get the proper shear strength and bearing capacity. By better stabilization soil it improves it strength minimize the plastic index, reduction in swelling potential and resistance to erosion, surface deflection, improving stiffness of soil, durability, workability and also by densification air is expelled from soil voids without much changes in moisture content. The plastic is one of the dangerous materials which is getting eliminated by using in soil Stabilization which results in good quality of soil. |

| Abstract | With the advent of civilization, open field/soil-based agriculture is facing some major challenges; most importantly decrease in per capita land availability. In 1960 with 3 billion population over the World, per capita land was 0.5 ha but presently, with 6 billion people it is only 0.25 ha and by 2050, it will reach at 0.16 ha. Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization as well as melting of icebergs (as an obvious impact of global warming), arable land under cultivation is further going to decrease. Again, soil fertility status has attained a saturation level, and productivity is not increasing further with increased level of fertilizer application. Besides, poor soil fertility in some of the cultivable areas, less chance of natural soil fertility build-up by microbes due to continuous cultivation, frequent drought conditions and unpredictability of climate and weather patterns, rise in temperature, river pollution, poor water management and wastage of huge amount of water, decline in ground water level, etc. are threatening food production under conventional soil-based agriculture. Under such circumstances, in near future it will become impossible to feed the entire population using open field system of agricultural production only. Naturally, soil-less culture is becoming more relevant in the present scenario, to cope-up with these challenges. In soil-less culture, plants are raised without soil. Improved space and water conserving methods of food production under soil-less culture have shown some promising results all over the World. Approximately seventy percent of all freshwater is used for agriculture globally, thus threatening food security especially in developing countries where access to water is potentially volatile. To overcome the threat of scarcity of fresh water for agriculture use of treated grey water comes in place for hydroponic and use in day to day life for common use. |

| >Abstract | >Usually, Waste generation is increasing day-by-day with the growth of population which directly affects the environment and economy. Consequently, there are millions of tons of solid waste being produced every year which have to be safely disposed without any negative impact to the environment. On the other hand, as one of the driving forces for economic and social development the availability of energy in sufficient and sustainable amount has been becoming world’s main interest. However, depending on the way the energy is produced, distributed and used, it may contribute to environmental problems such as water, land and air pollution or even global climate change. Organic Waste (OW) from the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) contributes towards maximum waste generation in India. Thus, management of organic waste is very much essential with the increasing demand for energy. This paper mainly focuses on reviewing organic waste management potentials, its technologies, and the associated challenges. Organic waste has good potential to attain sustainable energy yields with and without affecting the environment. (Dhar H.et al., 2017). (Satoto E.

| Group members | Ms. Rajvi A. Dharod Mr. Ravi Barai Ms. Shristi Tripathi Mr. Indrajeet Upadhyay |
| Abstract | Water logging is a major issue at parking and walkways, especially during rainy season, as pavements and floors are normally impermeable. This result in post construction activities like excessive repairs and providing unnecessary storm water drain systems, which are not only costly but may also get clogged during peak flow. Thus, it becomes very important to think of an economical solution which helps in getting rid of all above problems. The best solution to above problem is pervious concrete. No fine Concrete is a special concrete used to allow water to intentionally pass through the surface of a pavement and allow storm water to eventually absorb back into the surrounding soils or evaporate. Metakaolin in 20% and glass fibre in 2% of cement will be added to no fine concrete to check the effect of it in the compressive strength and cubes will be casted. Compressive strength will be evaluated at 7 days and 28 days. |

| Abstract | Project R3 CAMPUS, the Solid Waste Management action plan for SHREE L.R TIWARI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING is visualized as a comprehensive action plan for sustainable living in the campus of an educational institution. Widespread awareness and sensitization about waste management are the necessary conditions for creating a society that exhibits environmentally conscious behavior. The project has the potential to succeed in reducing the waste generation and in efficiently organizing scientific disposal of the waste for recycling through significant behavioral changes. The project aims at meeting the recent national agenda as well as achieving multiple of the global developmental goals. The entire college community is expected to benefit out of the project. Students, teachers and staff form a large body who will have a safer and more resilient living condition. While the resident members will have a cleaner environment at their residential areas, the non-resident members are going to enjoy a cleaner environment at workplace. Moreover, it is expected that the benefits thus generated will extend to communities through the members who will spread awareness outside College and help forming the necessary habits. Thus, the sustainable waste management practices of Indraprastha College will go beyond the campus and create a larger environment for sustainable living. |

| Abstract | Climate change is redefining the rules by which we live and at a pace we never expected. Because of the rising sea level, several areas of the globe are in danger of vanishing from the map, disappearing under water. Society must adapt and maybe, one day, live in floating houses. Depending on their geographical situation, some countries are more advanced than others in their adjustment to the effects of global warming, and particularly the rising level of the seas. Architects and city planners across the world are starting to look beyond the traditional confines of the city, towards building on water as one of the answers to reducing inner-city population density and also developing flood-resilient designs. The objectives of our project were to design a floating residential building moored to soil bed and to analyze the structure using Ansys software. |

| Abstract | The main objective of this study is to investigate the potential use of various solid wastes for producing construction materials. The paper is based on the comprehensive review of available literature on the construction materials including different kinds of solid wastes. The traditional methods for producing construction materials are using the valuable natural resources. Besides, the industrial and urban management systems are generating solid wastes, and most often dumping them in open fields. These activities pose serious detrimental effects on the environment. To safeguard the environment, many efforts are being made for the recycling of different types of solid wastes with a view to utilizing them in the production of various construction materials. This paper discusses the environmental implications caused by the generation of various solid wastes, and highlights their recycling potentials and possible use for producing construction materials. In addition, this paper shows the applications of solid waste based construction materials in real construction, and identifies the research needs. This study is aimed at educating the engineering public and professionals on the importance and necessity of waste management, reuse and recycling and also awareness on the benefits of conserving our environment through the reuse and utilization of waste within it. The study has been able to identify the different types of waste with potential of utilization towards construction and several key research factors and criteria which can provide focus and direction towards the choice of waste-type to be used and ensuring that they have utilization potentials in the construction industries. |

| Abstract | The use of concrete in the building industry is very prominent, but in this modern era of rapid construction, costing and time play an important role. Thus to fulfil the needs of people the concept of voided slab came into action. These slabs are nothing but lightweight hollow plastic balls embedded with steel reinforcement, which thus reduces the concrete content to minimum. Voided Slabs are efficient and gives us rapid construction. In comparison with solid slabs they are equally stiff. The main advantage of this construction type is that the beams throughout the structure are eliminated which gives us more height and a better chance to improve the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, & Air Conditioning). Apart from the removal of beam, longer spans of slabs can also be achieved by this method. By the use of this method 35-40% columns can be reduced in the design. Also around 30-40% concrete is saved in this work. The overall weight of the structure is reduced. Hollow plastic balls used in this are made of waste plastic material, thus giving a touch of environment friendly usage. These types of slabs are also seismic friendly as it lowers the total weight of the concrete. |

| Abstract | This paper analyses the societal cost of electrifying all road transport under four different scenarios. The first scenario considered in this study is based on today’s approach of having electric vehicles with high battery capacity and fast charging stations, the remaining scenarios study the cost of implementing different ERS at a national level. The results clearly show the benefits of implementing road bound electric road solutions that can be used both by commercial and passenger vehicles. Electrification of the transport sector has been pointed out as a key factor for tackling some of today’s main challenges, such as global warming, air pollution, and eco- system degradation. While numerous studies have investigated the potential of electrifying passenger transport, less focus has been on how road freight transport could be powered in a sustainable future. This study looks at Electric Road Systems (ERS) in comparison to the current diesel system. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development was used to assess whether ERS could be a stepping stone on the way towards sustainability. Strategic life-cycle assessment was applied, scanning each life-cycle phase for violations against basic sustainability principles. Resulting sustainability “hot spots” were quantified with traditional life-cycle assessment. The results show that, if powered by renewable energy, ERS have a potential to decrease the environmental impact of freight transport considerably. Environmental payback times of less than five years are achievable if freight traffic volumes are sufficiently high. However, some severe violations against sustainability principles were identified. Still, ERS could prove to be a valuable part of the solution, as they drastically decrease the need for large batteries with high cost and sustainability impact, thereby catalyzing electrification and the transition towards sustainable freight transport. Electrifying vehicles is seen by many as a possible solution to reduce environmental emissions and the dependence on fossil fuel. Unfortunately, most environmentally friendly energy storage systems, such as batteries, have less energy density compared to fossil fuel, which will have a negative impact on the vehicle range. A battery with enough capacity for long distance transports will therefore often imply a substantial increase in cost and weight, and reduced transport volume. An alternative would be to continuously transfer energy from the road to the vehicle both for propulsion and charging. A development of an electric road system (ERS) between cities would mean that most of the route could be driven on electricity from the road and the remaining distance can be driven on energy from potentially smaller batteries optimized for city routes. |

| Abstract | Usually, life of a residential structure is up to 50 years. It also depends on site location geological and environmental conditions. For this project the selected residential structure was in humid and heavy rainfall zone so the structure starts showing distress in 8 to 10 years. There are many factors which causes deterioration of structure such as earthquake, flood, cyclone, carbonation, chloride attack, environmental pollution, lack of regular maintenance, faulty construction, improper design, etc. For this reason, optimal rehabilitation works are vitally necessary for an accurate preservation process. In most of the cases it is observed that the material used at that time of construction are well graded up to the mark but due to environmental condition building can suffers numerous deterioration process during their service life. Structural heath monitoring is mandatory to identify the strength of the structure. In this a technical survey of the building component in order to check it strength and stability. This project shows the requirement for maintenance and repairs of older building. Also, we are going to discuss various NDT’S in this project with respect to visual inspection. Based on visual inspection and from interpretation of the test results rehabilitation work of the society is to be done . The society can also be suggested for micro-concrete jacketing on some columns, beams and for slab polymer modified mix mortar can be used. |

| Abstract | The interlinking of rivers involving water transfer from one basin to another through canals, tunnels or water lifts, hence using the excess of water of some region to another region where the water is deficit. India almost depended on the south-west and north-east monsoons or on the shallow cyclonic depressions and disturbances and on violent local storms which forms in region where cool humid winds of the sea meet the dry winds from the land and occasionally takes cyclonic dimension. Hence few areas of country are affected by the droughts while other areas are affected by occasionally seasonal floods. This is true that with growing human population and rising living standard, the demand for supplies of fresh water will increase and due to limited resources it. Will be insufficient to meet demand. Hence, it is of utmost importance to plan efficient method that can cop up with upcoming water scarcity problems. Flood impact is one of the most significa nt disasters in the world. More than half of global flood damages occur in Asia. Causes of floods are due to natural factors such as heavy rainfall, high floods and high tides, etc., and human factors such as blocking of channels or aggravation of drainage channels, improper land use, deforestation in headwater regions, etc. Floods result in losses of life and damage properties. Population increase results in more urbanization, more impervious area and less infiltration and greater flood peak and runoff. Problems become more critical due to more severe and frequent flooding likely caused by climate change, socio- economic damage, population affected, public outcry and limited funds. Flood loss prevention and mitigation includes structural flood control measures such as construction of dams or river dikes and non- structural measures such as flood forecasting and warning, flood hazard and risk management, public participation and institutio nal arrangement, etc. This paper describes concepts, policy, plan and operation on integrated urban flood disaster and risk management. In most developing countries, flood disaster management activities are handled by government. Sustainable development has become a guiding principle of human activities nowadays. Sustainable transport can take a great part in future development. Today this is not the case, and road transport contributes to this above all. For sustainab le transport development the necessity of modal shift is inevitable and the inland waterway navigation should get the higher share of the total transport where there is an alternative. This presentation shows the reasons why the inland waterway navigation can increase the level of sustainability. |

| Abstract | This study is concerned with stabilization of gravity dam on soft soil. An earthen dam is made of earth and resists the forces exerted upon it mainly due to shear strength of soil. Whereas gravity dam are massive concrete or masonry structure which counteract the force of water pressure with its self-weight. Thus gravity dams are preferable in modern construction purpose. Key problem in gravity dam is to check its stability on soft soil. Soft soil does not provide enough stability to such heavy structure and difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in foundation. Soft soil improvement in-situ sanitation and stabilization techniques designed to improve the overall properties of soft soil. These techniques help to stabilize the foundation structure and immobilize heavy metals and other soil contaminants. Changes in soil structure were used to determine the basic properties of soil. These changes included properties such as liquid limit, plastic limit, optimum moisture content, CBR, maximum dry density. The forces, by various soil tests, were plotted and calculated. |

| Abstract | 1. The rapid increase in population has led to a very wide use of underground space for various purposes. The underground structures like tunnels are considered as an important mode of transportaton as well as a channel for life line utlities. Tunnels are basically classified into underwater and underground tunnels. The stability of the underground structures is dependent on many factors. The reported studies on underground tunnels have showed the various factors affectng the stability and the mechanical behaviour of these structures. However, studies reported on tunnel segments subjected to fatigue loading are very few. Tunnels may be subjected to fatigue loading in the case of shallow underwater tunnels where in the seasonal variations of water level plays a very important role. 2.With the urban population increasing, conurbation is getting more and more crowed, traffic jam happens everywhere. In this case, utilization of the underground and underwater space has become an effective way to undertake this set of problems. Tunnel construction is one of the important infrastructure projects, which is vital for enhancing the transportation networks, especially in congested cities. This review project presents a framework for selecting the appropriate tunneling method and transportation network with respect to the induced ground surface settlements. Parameters which have significant influence on the ground surface settlement will also be discussed in this project. This paper will help the contractors, engineers and designer in selecting appropriate method and estimating the required cost and time for construction of a tunnel. Keywords: Settlement, tunneling method, tunnel geometry, geological condition, parameters effecting tunnel. |

| Abstract | Recently, taking into consideration the work done by Mr. Afroz Shah, of cleaning Versova lake. He tried collecting the waste manually with the help of his team. However, it was a manual work, consuming a plathora amount of time. But we have seen very drastic and beautiful changes in the environmental cover of Versova. Growth of tortoise has been also seen in the vicinity of that area. But if the same work is done technically, we can clear maximum area within short period of time. To provide the same work a bit technical view a mechanical device is necessary which could gather all the waste at rapid pace. The expanse including varieties of waste is quite large hence plastic and oil are the basic aspects to be focused on. These wastes are non-degradable. Sea being a mother of large living organisms it is necessary to keep it safe as early as possible. Sea wastes are marine debris which are created by humans that has deliberately or accidentally been released in different water bodies. This disposal must be cleaned in order to avoid excess accumulation which may in future not even provide space for we human beings to survive due to increase in water boundaries. In the following project we have studied the technical ways to prepare a device to collect the sea waste more rapidly and effectively. |

| Abstract | The high cost of conventional construction materials is a dominating factor affecting housing system around the world. Green approach refers to a use of natural and renewable source of energy replacing or reducing environmentally unfrie ndly materials. The present study discusses about the importance of reinforcement of concrete to be used as a damp proofing material. The fiber obtained from the dry outer covering of the coconut fiber is termed as “c”. These coir fibers have the tendency to be used as reinforcement in low-cost concrete structures particularly in earthquake regions because of their property of toughness and sturdiness. Some advantages of coir fibers include insect proof, resistant to fungi and decay, provide good insulation against temperature and sound. Coconut fiber is available in abundance at the test site, which makes it quite viable as a reinforcement material in concrete. Further, it acts as a new source of income for the coconut producer who gets the benefits of the new demand generated by the construction industry. In addition to this, it is an effective method for the disposal of coir mattress waste which will reduce the demand for additional waste disposal infrastructure and decrease the load on existing landfills and incinerators. The problem of high rate of water absorption of the fiber could be reduced by coating the fibers with oil. Moreover, the fibers being natural in origin is ecologically sustainable and can bring down the global carbon footprint quite effectively. |

| Abstract | The objective of this paper is to use the solar energy in powering density based traffic control system with remote override facilities. Since solar energy is one of the major renewable sources and is non-polluted an attempt is made to utilize this energyin the traffic control system. A photovoltaic system is utilized for powering the system continuously. During normal time the signal timing changes automatically on sensing the traffic density at the junction by IR interruption method. But in the event of any emergency vehicle like ambulance, fire brigade etc. requiring priority are built in with RF remote control unit to override the set timing by providing instantaneous green signal in the desired direction by blocking the other lanes by red signal. Higher traffic density at one side of the junction demands longer green time as compared to specific allotted time. The proposed traffic control system using a microcontroller of 8051 family duly interfaced with photo sensors, changes the junction timing automatically to accommodate movement of vehicles smoothly to avoid unnecessary waiting time at the junction. The density of the vehicles is measured in three zones i.e., low traffic zone, medium traffic zone, high traffic zone based on which timings are allotted accordingly. The override feature in this unit is activated by an on board RF transmitter operated from the emergency vehicle which in turn provides a high priority for all emergency vehicles.

| Abstract | Throughout the human history floods have been an integral part of the civilization. Still humans have not quite coped well to live with floods. Flood hazards result from a combination of physical exposure and human vulnerability to a geophysical process. Physical exposure reflects the type of flood events that can occur and their statistical pattern at a particular site while human vulnerability reflects key socioeconomic factors such as the number of people at risk, the extent of any flood protection works and the ability of the population to anticipate and cope with the hazard. Recently, the advancement in computer-aided technologyhas been extensively used in formulating models used for flood calculation and hazard analysis. This study focuses on using GIS and Remote Sensing environment for the affected areas of India, generates the inundation area and the flood depth for the specified flood events. Since the ‘80s, the interest for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has been rising both in the private and the no- profit/humanitarian sectors, as a tool to monitor land use changes, rivers patterns, evolution of disaster risk areas, etc. The great advantage of GIS is the possibility to merge different information from several sources and visualize them on a unique map thanks to a georeferencing process. This project illustrates a wide range of integrated GIS data sets and explains how GIS can be used in manipulating and processing the various forms and types of spatial data for strategic flood risk assessment. |

| Abstract | Civil engineering is the field which involves the introduction of the new ideas and concepts especially in construction stream for smooth and effective execution of large as well as small scale construction projects. Whereas, construction of building not only involves the utilization of large amount of materials but also investment of time and money. So in order to overcome such factors, it becomes necessary to explore new techniques and methods for smooth construction. Slab is the essential as well as core component of building structure where the load transmitted on the slab is more and the clear span between the columns is large which results in usage of massive amount of concrete and steel. So in order to reduce the self-weight and cost of construction, Hourdi Slab method is executed. Hollow Block Slab techniques of slab construction which is introduced in Dubai as well as in China. In the central portion of slab which is filled with concrete is replaced by Hollow concrete Blocks. Hollow concrete blocks are the lighter weight blocks which are produced not only by concrete but also with addition of filler such as waste, scrap or recyclable materials like rice husk, fly ash, agricultural waste, etc. so as to enhance the properties of Hollow Concrete Block. The main aim of this thesis is about theoretical and practical approach of the Hourdi Slab and also to compare it with Conventional Slab in order to find the difference of the output achieved from both the slab. |

| Abstract | Tire production is increasing every year due to the increase in vehicle sales. The generation and disposal of waste are inherent to life itself and have presented very serious problems to the human community in India. Recently, some research has been devoted to the use of tire-recycled , bottle caps ,steel fibers in concrete. This study is focusing on the use of tire-recycled, bottle cap, steel fibers. Several volume ratios of scrab Rubber, bottle cap, steel fibre were used in concrete mix to fabricate and test. Reinforced concrete obtains evidence and satisfactory improvement by adding scrab Rubber, bottle cap, steel fibre , mostly in compressive strength, splitting strength, flexural tensile strength, and flexural toughness. The strength and flexural toughness of the scrab Rubber, bottle cap reinforced concrete are lower than those of industrial steel fibers. To obtain concrete with approximately the same strength or toughness, the content of steel fibers should be about 1%-2% higher than that of industrial steel fibers. The steel fiber reinforced concrete is getting closer to the ideal elastic- plastic material. |

| Abstract | If the structural audit isn’t been carried out at a specific interval of time or is been not properly done, this affects the servicebility criteria of the building or even it may happen that the building collapses. Reduction of the serviceability criteria indicates that the building or a particular part of the building has became unserviceable i.e. the building is no more capable for providing the assigned services. This affects the routine of the people. They need to take a day off from their routine for repairment of the uncerviceble part. The another problem has become quite commonly now-a-days, that is the collapsing of the building and is very frequently been heard by all of us. This is the atmost danger that can arise if auditing of the structure is been avoided. |

| Abstract | We know that every structure is designed for a specific life period, generally 100 years. The existence of the structure after the service life period is very dangerous to its occupants and surrounding buildings. Therefore, it becomes essential to demolish the building. Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings which involves taking a building apart while preserving the valuable elements for re-use. There are various methods of demolition. The building is brought down either manually or mechanically depending upon the method used for demolition of buildings. Equipment’s used for demolit ion work are hammers, rammers, excavators, bulldoze rs, wrecking ball and the explosives used are dynamites and detonators etc. which is generally preferred for tall buildings. The various steps involved before the demolition process includes surveying of the demolition site, removal of hazardous material and safety precautionary measures. The study also includes the precautionary measures regarding machinery or equipment’s, scaffolding, public safety and worker safety. Various strategies of demolition waste have been reported in literature for implementing good practices for demolition of buildings. |

| Abstract | This innovative technology titled "Soil Biotechnology" uses soil as the reaction medium for the treatment of waste-water. (In contrast to other technologies till date, wherein all the reactions are carried out in aqueous phase). This is a new and more efficient treatment technique, implemented in several cities of India wherein soil is used as the media, earthworms as culture, plantation, gravels and certain other additives and thereby carries out the complete treatment of waste-water. The treated water, unlike the other methods of treatment, gets purified to such an appreciable extent that it can even be reused for agricultural or gardening purposes, in construction sites, automobile washing yards, hydropower electricity generation, etc. This project includes the design of an SBT plant for treating the waste-water of a residential building situated in Mumbai, which includes the complete design of one septic tank, two bioreactors, a storage tank and a network of pipes and pumps. This technique of waste water treatment re-engineers and provides a relook at soil chemistry and soil biology. This project is expected to meet a growing need for cleaner and safer water disposal and even water reuse in the area. |

| Abstract | Decreasing the pollution level is now the main aim for many. Pollution is in many forms; almost every natural thing is now affected by the term pollution. Air pollution is one of the hardest challenges to the humans as it is beyond our hand limits. So there must be a technology for that to decrease the alarming levels of air pollution. The discussed method also aims to bring the increased levels of pollution back to the bottom. In this method the air is being purified by the use of distilled water only, without the use of any synthetic material and/or chemical substance. Here, the air ismade passed through the water so by reaction with water, pollutants stay in it results in clean air. In this method air is being purified by polluting water, but the fact is cleaning water is easy and there are many methods for this but cleaning air needs some boost up in the technology level. |

| Abstract | This study is concerned with stabilization of gravity dam on soft soil. An earthen dam is made of earth and resists the forces exerted upon it mainly due to shear strength of soil. Whereas gravity dam are massive concrete or masonry structure which counteract the force of water pressure with its self-weight. Thus gravity dams are preferable in modern construction purpose. Key problem in gravity dam is to check its stability on soft soil. Soft soil does not provide enough stability to such heavy structure and difficulty increases if there are several weak structural planes in foundation. Soft soil improvement in-situ sanitation and stabilization techniques designed to improve the overall properties of soft soil. These techniques help to stabilize the foundation structure and immobilize heavy metals and other soil contaminants. Changes in soil structure were used to determine the basic properties of soil. These changes included properties such as liquid limit, plastic limit, optimum moisture content, CBR, maximum dry density. The forces, by various soil tests, were plotted and calculated. KEY WORDS: stabilization, liquid limit, plastic limit, optimum moisture content, CBR, maximum dry density, self-weight |

| Abstract | Structural Audit is a technical survey of an engineering structure to assess its health. Now a days structural Auditing is necessary because of poor quality of construction, carelessness in supervision during construction, use of poor quality of materials, carelessness by labours during work, because of such reasons the quality of the building goes down and then automatically life of the building goes down. Now adays life of the building comes 60 years from 100 years, because of such reasons we need to do Structural Auditing of the building after 60 years to check whether it is safe or not if not then remedial measures to be provided. Now while performing the audit of a structure and we will conduct nondestructive testing on the structure like Rebound hammer and Ultrasonic Pulse velocity test after getting test results we will decide the structure is safe or not and if not safe then remedial measures will be provided to increase life of the building. |

| Abstract | This study is related treatment of waste water by using constructed wetlands. The conventional methods used for treatment of waste water (canteen kitchen water) are either uneconomical or requires huge space for their function. Conventional methods used, need a specified plant or desired space for their functioning. Whereas a constructed wetland can also be made in the backyard of house if needed on small scale. Moreover, constructed wetlands use helophytes (plants growing on water) to treat the waste water this enhances the aesthetic look of society. Thus, constructed wetland could turn out to be really beneficial in order to treat the waste water effectively and economically. Water can be treated within 4 to 5 days using constructed wetland method and it emphasizes on use of natural process like sedimentation which takes place under action of gravity, and use of natural materials like soil and gravels. The water is made to pass through sedimentation and filtration tank and thus treated by action of sedimentation and microbial activities taking place from root zone of plants. After testing standard parameters this treated water is free to be disposed in the environment and could be reused for day to day activities like flushing, car washing, lawn sprinkler etc. Various tests conducted on water like pH test, turbidity test, COD, BOD, DO test proves that water treated using constructed wetlands is safe for reuse or disposal in environment. Key words- constructed wetlands filtration sedimentation by pH test, turbidity test, COD, BOD, DO, (Oil and Grease testing from outer laboratory in future) |

| Abstract | Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete with high porosity used for concrete flat work applicationsthat allow waterfromprecipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing ground water recharge. This porosity is attained by a highly interconnected void content. Typically pervious concrete has little or no fine aggregate and has just enough cementing paste to coat the coarse aggregate particles while preserving the interconnectivity of the voids. Pervious concrete is traditionally used in Parking areas, areas with high traffic, walk ways in parks and gardens, Residential streets, Pedestrian walkways and Green houses, Basket ball and volley ball courts etc. Pervious concrete is an important application for the sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to protect water. |

| Abstract | Food waste has significant environmental, economic, and social costs. The majority of food waste occurs at the point of household consumption in the developed world. We explore the literature on the determinants of household food waste generation, redistribution, and reuse. We use metabolism as a conceptual framework with the household as the unit of analysis. The household food metabolism is characterized by inputs which includes food from gardening or retail, metabolic processes. We present factors contributing to the negative environmental effects of food waste as external and internal to the household, as well as demographic, behavioral, and social factors. Many have identified food waste-relevant behavior as planning, shopping, storing, cooking, eating, managing leftovers, and assessing edibility. Using the Composter, we designed, waste can be managed, and we can overlook the 'output' processes which can be further useful for plant fertilizers, contributing to the environmental impact of household food waste including food sharing and food waste diversion. Existing and proposed solutions at all the of household food metabolism process are covered by us. |

| Abstract | Constructed wetlands are artificial wastewater treatment system of shallow experimental tanks, ponds or channels that are planted with locally available wetland plants. They work on natural capacity of plants to treat wastewater from different sources. In view of rising concern about pollution of water bodies due to discharge of waste in them, it is necessary to initiate alternative thinking as conventional methods through STPs (Sewage treatment Plants) have had limited success. In recent years the application of specifically designed wetland based technology (popularly known as Phytorid technology) for treatment of wastewater- municipal, urban and agricultural, is becoming widely acceptable. It treats the wastewater in natural manner without the use of chemicals. In short, Phytorid technology is an improved wetland system for treatment of wastewater. The main objective of present research work is to provide and popularize a simple, feasible, practically sound, ecofriendly and cost effective technology for wastewater treatment. Phytorid technology is such a type of system, which reduces the impact of sewage and converts into useful water for gardening and irrigation purpose. |

| Abstract | Construction field requires new technique in order to enhance the construction procedure of road. As the traditional methods of constructing the road requires high consumption of materials and also the time invested is more (on field). Thus it becomes necessary to search new approaches for construction of roads. Reinforcement is one of the important element of the road consuming large amount of concrete .The load transmitted on the surface course is more which results in formation of road cracks and pot which is eventually the reason for water logging on the road . Due to this, the dead weight and the cost of maintenance increases So to surpass the above issues, Asphalt Hollow Block Road technology could beused. Hollow Block plastic Road is construction of a prefabricated, modular and structure based on (recycled) plastic. In this method concrete is been replaced by mixture of shredded waste plastic, aggregate and bitumen. High density polyethylene are recycled materials which are produced from gasoline products under controlled temperature and thus prove to be ecofriendly. This road has a hollow space that can be used to (temporarily) store water, thus preventing water logging during extreme precipitation. The light weight and the modular design of the plastic road makes construction and maintenance faster, simple and more efficient. |

| Abstract | In past few years reviews were made in design practices of bituminous mixes at various levels. Bituminous mix composes of binder, filler and aggregates which plays an important role in the performance of the pavement system. Bituminous mixes used in India for different courses have different terminologies, proportion and properties of material, and gradation of aggregates. Aggregate confirms a major part of bituminous mix and the properties, size and type of aggregate have considerable effect on performance of mix. Past researches witnessed the effect of aggregate gradation on performance of mix like rutting and other Marshall parameters. In present work efforts will be made to assess the effect of nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) on stability and flow value of bituminous concrete (BC) mix with VG-30 grade bitumen by changing the bitumen content and filler material. The present study will focus on the comparison of the Marshall parameters by changing bitumen content and filler content. The selected gradation having NMAS of 19.00mm will be used with VG-30 grade of binder for preparing BC mix. Bituminous Mix design for Bituminous Concrete BC needs to be done for the study of stability and flow value. |

| Abstract | India has a major agribusiness sector which achieved remarkable successes over the last three or four decades. India is an agricultural driven economy where more than 50% population is engaged in cultivation of agricultural products. Production just doesn’t feed the country but generates enough agriculture products to export to the outside world. India is one of the leading countries in production of crops such as wheat, rice, sugarcane and many more. With million tons of agriculture crops producing every year, it also produces tons of agriculture waste.With high amount of agriculture wastes, it becomes difficult for the farmers to dump that waste. With reaping of paddy fields, large quantities of husk are generated that needs dumping. Farmers generally gather husk and put them to fire. Burning husk is the easiest of ways to dump the husk. But burning husk has several demerits. It is one of the major contributors in air pollution. Air pollution due to crop residue burning in northern India causes an estimated economic loss of USD 30 billion annually, and is a leading risk factor of acute respiratory infections, especially among children, according to a study unveiled. The air quality in Delhi, the capital of India, according to a WHO survey of 1600 world cities, is the worst of any major city in the world. Air pollution in India is estimated to kill 1.5 million people every year; it is the fifth largest killer in India. India has the world's highest death rate from chronic respiratory diseases and asthma, according to the WHO. In Delhi, poor quality air irreversibly damages the lungs of 2.2 million or 50 percent of all children. Stubble burning in Punjab and Haryana contribute to more than 32% in Delhi’s air pollution according to AQI by SAFAR. Clearly rice stubble burning is a colossal problem now and by this project we aim to come up with a solution to the problem faced and hope to contribute in some way to curb the menace even if the contribution is on the scale equal to the 12th man in a cricket team. |

| Abstract | Concrete is a 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. This concrete has a light colour and open-cell structure because of which they do not absorb heat from the sun; they also do not radiate the heat back into the atmosphere, which reduces heating in the environment. Pervious concrete has low installation costs. In addition, it filters the storm water thus reducing the number of pollutants entering the rivers and ponds. Pervious concrete also improves the growth of trees. In the present study the behavior of pervious concrete has been studied experimentally. Various mix proportions were prepared by replacing cement with silica fume (6% by the weight of cement), by adding super plasticizers (0.13% and 0.25%) and varying size of aggregates. The water-cement ratio was kept constant 0.34. Different properties of pervious concrete e.g. workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength test at 7, 28 and 56 days and bond strength tests at 28 and 56 days have been studied experimentally. Experimental results showed that strength of pervious concrete decreased with the addition of silica fume (6%) and super plasticizers (0.13% and 0.25%). The mix proportions with aggregates size (4.75 mm to 10 mm) gives higher strength when compared to mixes with aggregates size (10 mm to 20 mm) and (4.75 mm to 20 mm) respectively. Keyword- concrete , water cement ratio, permeable, aggregate ,flexural strength |

| Abstract | RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) is a latest technology in the field of construction of bituminous pavements. RAP is being widely adopted all over the world as it has several benefits over virgin mixes. By using RAP the cost of project is marginally reduced and it also has a favourable effect on environmental impact. RAP also leads to optimization of resources. Old road pavements due to repeated overlays being placed over the years, result in the increase of the road levels compare to adjacent built up areas, so RAP becomes a necessity is some cases. Over a period of time the technological improvements have resulted in reclaiming the bituminous pavement in usable condition. Earlier the old pavements were excavated using excavators which resulted in availability of bituminous mix in form of chunks. In modern times, the scarifying process using diamond cutters result in removal of pavement in sizes nearly aggregate size. The results given by RAP mixes are either similar or better than virgin mixes. Hence the use of RAP is justified. |

| Abstract | Facade Engineering is the art of resolving aesthetic, environmental and structural issues to achieve the enclosureof habitablespace. Today lightness and transparency are properties that both architects and clients try to obtain. This has rapidly increased the use of glass in facades. By using steel as a load bearing structure, it is possible to keep the transparency restricting structures slim. The aim of this master’s thesis is to gather together information on research, design and codes about the structural design in steel-glass facades. The use of glass in facades causes many problems due to the material properties of glass. Glass differs from other building materials in aspect of being an extremely brittle material and breaking without a forewarning. This material property of brittleness has to be taken into account when designing large glass facades. The requirements of designing load- bearing structures are normally gotten from either the glass supplier or the producer of glass pane elements, who both are thereby responsible for the strength and functionalityof the fastening. The project aims at Designing Glass façade panels for the commercial building including the estimation of cost of installing Glass façade Panels |

| Abstract | An energy efficient building is a residential or commercial building with greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies. Despite the excitement over the phrase “energy efficiency,” we lack a common definition, or even a common understanding, of what it means. In this project, we try to give the methods of achieving energy efficient building: what it means and how we have progressed toward the energy efficiency of a building. The way the energy efficiency goals are defined, affects the choices designers make to achieve this goal and whether they can claim success. More than 90% of our time is spent in buildings i.e. either in the office or at home. Energy used in buildings (residential and commercial) accounts for a significant percentage of a country’s total energy consumption. This percentage depends greatly on the degree of electrification, the level of urbanization, the amount of building area per capita, the prevailing climate, as well as national and local policies to promote efficiency. In many countries, buildings consume more energy than transport and industry. The International Energy Agency (IEA) statistics estimate that globally, the building sector is responsible for more electricity consumption than any other sector, 42%. In general, building energy consumption is higher in industrialized countries. Thus, development has an important effect on energy demand from the building sector, implying that building efficiency becomes more significant as countries become more prosperous. In this project, we explore the concept of “energy efficiency” and implications that it may have on regulations, economics, energy demand, and the environment. Proposals to improve the current situation based on 3R principle are also proposed, adopting innovative technologies and market models, and implementing targeted economic incentives. |

| Abstract | The steady increase in the number of vehicles on the road has increased traffic congestion in most urban cities of the world especially Mumbai. One approach most countries are taking to address this issue is the expansion of roadways. However, this approach still comes with its share of challenges. Demolition of older roads can be quite costly. Most urban cities lack the free space required for such a venture. Even with the improvements in road infrastructure, it is evident that the rate at which travelers buy vehicles has surpassed that of new infrastructure development. Also due to expansions, roads are able to serve more vehicles; consequently utilizing the additional capacity. In this study we are introducing bollards which are commonly used as vehicle barriers. A bollard is a short post that guides traffic, deters vehicle intrusions, and protects people and structures.During peak hours on going traffic is heavily packed. So to curb this traffic issue, by- pass of traffic from the opposite side with the help of automatic bollards are introduced in order to form a safe diversion of traffic. Bollards act as visual guides, reminding drivers to drive safely and responsibly in extra lane. |

| Abstract | In India, most of the pavements are of flexible pavement as they are economical compared to rigid pavements but its maintenance causes more trouble and also increases cost of flexible pavement construction. Bitumen and aggregates being an important aspect of flexible pavement should be modified by mixing it with different materials in order to prevent the pavement from cracking and deterioration of the pavement. Plastic wastes from both industrial and household sectors can be used in the asphalt mix. Bitumen acting as a binding material in the pavement when mixed with the plastic waste brings more stability to the roads and helps in resisting the forces from the vehicles. Plastic waste in the shredded form when mixed with the aggregates also helps providing better results for pavement. The Plastic Coated Aggregates (PCA) forms better raw material as they have very less void present in between them. As the waste product like plastic which is non- biodegradable material is utilized in this process it also solves the problem of disposing of plastic waste in safe and more useful way. Hence in this study different test is to be done regarding more stable and effective proportions to be used between bitumen and plastic waste comprising of Marshal Stability test, Ductility test, Penetration test and Stripping test for aggregate. Plastic waste being in different forms when come in contact with rain water, UV-rays, fuel, etc can cause reaction with them and also may cause degradation of pavement. Basically, the plastic waste used in the bitumen mix will not show the inert properties. So as preventive measure thin layer bitumen mixed with zycosoil is used as a cover over the bitumen mix with plastic waste. Tests like Marshal Stability test is performed with mix of zycosoil in proportion of 0.03%, 0.04% and 0.06% of dosage and compare its properties as per IRC codes. |

| Abstract | A construction industry plays vital role in India which leads into the economic development. Solid waste management has gained a lot of attention to the research community now-a- days. Use of solid waste in construction industry holds a high potential of reducing global environmental pollution. The materials like a cement, fine aggregate (sand) and coarse aggregate which is used to prepare concrete were once easily available in our country, but now there is a high demand in materials which has gone to high scenario. In this project, an experimental investigation is done on the partial replacement of concrete materials which reduces our sole dependence on traditional materials of concrete. Partial replacement of coarse aggregate with coconut shell, sawdust, rubber (Tire tubes), glass and demolition waste like debris makes construction process economical and also improves the properties of concrete. |

| Group members | BRAHMBHATT NIKHIL PRAJAPATI KISHAN BALDEV JHA RAHULKUMAR RAJGOR BHARAT |
| Abstract | Due to rapid growth in construction activity, the available sources of natural sand are getting exhausted and also, good quality sand and aggregate may have to be transported from long distance, which adds to cost of construction. In some cases, natural sand and aggregate may not be of good quality. Therefore, it is necessary to replace concrete ingredients by alternate materials partially, without compromising the quality of concrete. This can be done by utilization of waste materials in concrete works. Materials such as Rubber powder, Cockle Shell, Bagasse Ash, Coconut Shell. Tire production in India is about 1416.5 lakh/nos, also cockle and coconut shell, Bagasse ash as waste are available in abundance. This materials can be replaced in concrete in order to reduce overall cost of concrete and to improve environmental health. We designed concrete for characteristic strength of M30,M40 for 7,28 days for continuous curing. We studied the procedure for material analysis, gradation, calculation of mix, mixing of ingredients, casting of cubes and testing of cubes for their respective strength expected. |

| Abstract | Aim of this study to determine Compressive strength and Flexural strength of M20 grade concrete with use of cotton fiber and silica fume. 15B-SP is used to improve the workability of concrete which is based on Sulphonated naphthalene polymers. Efforts for improving the performance of concrete over the past few years suggest that cement replacement materials along with mineral and chemical admixtures can improve the strength characteristics of concrete. Silica fume can be utilized to produce high strength and durable concrete composites. The Concrete specimens were cured on normal moist curing under normal atmospheric temperature. The Compressive strength determined at 7 and 28 days and Flexural strength at 28 days. The addition of Cotton fiber by the weight of concrete shows an increase strength property and Silica fume as cement replacement material shows early long- term strength. This system that is Ordinary Portland Cement - Cotton fiber - Silica fume concrete was found to increase the Compressive and Flexural strength of concrete on all ages when compared to concrete made with Cotton fiber and Silica fume and GGBS. |

| Abstract | In the construction sector around the globe, lot of new technologies and methods are emerging to tackle the traditional construction problems and to obtain a faster speed of construction and a better coordination between the Architecture Construction and Engineering (AEC) industry. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is one such technology or process for a better planning, analysis and design of the construction projects. More coordination is achieved using BIMthan conventional methods. Efforts are being taken by the AEC industry to adopt more BIM technology in their respective areas for a better output and time saving which would indirectly save cost of project. The purpose of this project is to analyze BIMadoption in Mumbai, India which is metropolitan city by doing a questionnaire survey through various modes like Google forms and personal interviews. The survey is conducted to determine the BIMusage in the construction sector in Mumbai and the challenges that are faced by the AEC industry for adopting BIM. Also to study the BIM software used in the industry like Autodesk Revit and to learn the software and application of it for a G+2 Office Building. The project study includes modeling of G+ 2 Office Building with all aspects of the planning like floor plan, site plan, sectional plans, 3D modeling and also scheduling of doors and windows in BIM software called Autodesk Revit which shows all the elements of the Office Building with a 3D view. Thus understanding the advantages of it in the planning and execution of the project. The project study concludes that the construction market in Mumbai is realizing the importance of BIM in all stages of the construction projects and efforts have been taken for implementing BIMusage in construction companies. It also shows that BIM software like Autodesk Revit is a very useful tool for the planning and analysis of the construction project and changes can be made in the project anytime without causing many problems. Major benefits like clash detection can be done in this software which was not possible earlier. |
| Title | Vertical farming proposal in India |

| Group members | PANDEY ATUL SINGH ROHIT TIWARI SONU SONI SAJAY |
| Abstract | As the India’s population grows in a rapid manner, the land required to produce the food required also increases. The concept of a vertical farm was introduced to remedy this crisis. In vertical farming, farms are stacked on top of one another, instead of branching out horizontally. After the Industrial revolution carbon footprint produced from the industries has increased in rapid manner resulting in climate change and global warming which had adversely affected agricultural production in many ways like degrading the quality and quantity of crops. Many variables to consider are cultivation quantity and quality, design and supporting technology in order to have successful implementation of vertical farming in India. Vertical farming is the practice of producing food and medicine in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces or integrated in other structures such as in a skyscraper, used warehouse, or shipping container, terrace etc. The project study is basically restricted to propose a self sustained structure based on vertical farming using a modern farming technique of soil-less agriculture to counter the problems generated in current conventional farming i.e. horizontal farming practiced in India. The project study also concludes cost benefit of vertical farming over horizontal farming. Project focuses basicallyon use of technique of hydroponic in vertical farming. The resulting social benefit from project is that the future population gets fed with organic and nutritious food. The project implements optimum uses of resources such as land and water so that maximum output can be achieved to overcome the food scarcity in future. |

| Abstract | The amount of waste glass has gradually increased over the recent years due to an ever-growing use of glass products. Most of the waste glasses are being dumped into landfill sites. The land filling of waste glasses is undesirable because they are not biodegradable, which makes them environmentally less friendly. There is huge potential for using waste glass in the concrete construction sector. When waste glasses are reused in making concrete products, the production cost of concrete will come down. Crushed glass or cullet, if properly sized and processed, can exhibit characteristics similar to that of gravel or sand. In this report we are going to discuss how the GRP waste powder will have its significant effect on concrete and its properties. Cement replacement levels by GRP waste powder 0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5%. The compressive strength of concrete cubes is tested for 7, 28, days were found and the flexural strength of the concrete beams is tested for 7, 28 days were found. |

| Abstract | As sustainabilityincreasingly becomes a concern to society, it is in state transportation agencies’ best interests to embrace and adopt initiatives that will both educate their employees and the communities they serve on how transportation systems and system operations can be viewed within such a context. One of the strategies that can be adopted for providing a more sustainable approach to highway design is a “highways rating system.” Adopting a strategy such as the one proposed in our research will enable an agency to compare projects based on sustainability goals and outcomes. Such a rating system can provide several benefits to various departments of transportation. Comparing the ratings of proposed projects during the early programming process may also help in the selection of more sustainably effective and efficient projects. Additionally, a project in the project planning phase could use the green rating criteria to identify those areas where changes in design could result in more environmentally sensitive designs. A Roadways rating tool is an important means of fostering an environmental ethic in a transportation agency, one that could become more important in years to come. |

| Abstract | Soil stabilization is a technique of altering some soil properties by different methods such as mechanical or chemical stabilization in order to produce an improved soil material which has all the desired engineering properties such as increased shear strength, bearing capacity etc. Stabilization of black cotton soil can be done by using biomedical waste (syringe). Biomedical waste syringe which is produced in every hospitals but rarely reused, so by crushing the plastic after detaching the needle and using it in stabilization of black cotton soil, will not only reduce the burden of disposing of the waste but also help to reduce the environmental pollution which will be obviously caused by dumping it. Powders of syringe were added in different proportion (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) by dry weight of soil. The results showed that there is marginally increase in strength, CBR and UCS values of black cotton soil by the addition of powdered syringe. The proposed method can be used for small projects like construction of village roads. The thickness of the pavement can be reduced by using powdered biomedical waste (syringe). |

| Abstract | India is a developing country, therefore Infrastructure development is necessary for our country and concrete plays a vital role in it. Concrete is the world’s largest consuming material in the construction field. The emission of carbon-dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere from the operation and maintena nce of structures as well as production of building materials can be reduced by using renewable resources and construction materials. Conventional concrete is relatively strong in compression but weak in tension, in order to overcome the weakness, the use of a sufficient volume of certain fibers such as sisal fiber is used in this experiment, which is easily available, renewable and economical. Micro silica, an industrial byproduct which is a very fine non- crystalline material is very good as filler material to provide good strength. By utilizing these waste materials in construction activities which solve the environmental pollution problems, also safer and economical construction. The main objective of this project is to investigate effect of silica fume and fiber orientation of sisal fiber on performance of concrete, which ultima te ly solve the problems of waste disposal and reduces global warming. Here in the experiment an attempt has been made to increase the strength of concrete by replacing cement partially with silica fume and sisal fibers at varying percentage in a design mix of M30 and M40 at the specific ages of 7 days and 28 days. |

| Abstract | India has increased the investment in construction industry over the past years and its being increasing at a rapid pace. The haziness of construction projects are always related to its duration being very long, such characteristic would require the responsible personnel to coordinate and collaborate within the addressed parties. In construction projects, both academics and action takers have a dispute on the causes of construction projects’ problems, but both agree that the main problem is the company’s focus on optimization of the individual personnel rather than focusing on the long term efficiency of team performance. Productivity is an important aspect of construction industry that may be used as an index for efficiency of production. Efficient management of construction resources can lead to higher productivity which can help to achieve cost and time saving. Construction is labour oriented industry. It heavily relies on the skills of its workforce. The labour is industry’s most valuable asset. It is important to improve efficiency of production by improving productivity of labour. Decreasing productivity of project has always been major concern for construction Industry. Aim of this project is to study the importance of measurement of labour productivity in construction industry around Mumbai sector after finding the factors affecting labour productivity.Factors affecting labour productivity were analysed using RII method. Measurement of labour productivity is done using work study method. RII method revealed top ten ranked factors which affect labour productivity. The data collection is done by work study method shows skilled labour as highly important factor affecting labour productivity. From the analysis of data collected it is observed that measurement of labour productivity is helpful in saving the time of the project as well as cost of project without hampering the quality of work. |

Plastic wastes from both industrial and household sectors can be used in the asphalt mix. Bitumen acting as a binding material in the pavement when mixed with the plastic waste brings more stability to the roads and helps in resisting the forces from the vehicles. Plastic waste in the shredded form when mixed with the aggregates also helps providing better results for pavement. The Plastic Coated Aggregates (PCA) forms better raw material as they have very less void present in between them. As the waste product like plastic which is non- biodegradable material is utilized in this process it also solves the problem of disposing of plastic waste in safe and more useful way. Hence in this study different test is to be done regarding more stable and effective proportions to be used between bitumen and plastic waste comprising of Marshal Stability test, Ductility test, Penetration test and Stripping test for aggregate. Plastic waste being in different forms when come in contact with rain water, UV- rays, fuel, etc can cause reaction with them and also may cause degradation of pavement. Basically, the plastic waste used in the bitumen mix will not show the inert properties. So as preventive measure thin layer bitumen mixed with zycosoil is used as a cover over the bitumen mix with plastic waste. Tests like Marshal Stability test is performed with mix of zycosoil in proportion of 0.03%, 0.04% and 0.06% of dosage and compare its properties as per IRC codes. |

| Abstract | Due to rapid growth in construction activity, the available sources of natural sand are getting exhausted and also, good quality sand and aggregate may have to be transported from long distance, which adds to cost of construction. In some cases, natural sand and aggregate may not be of good quality. Therefore, it is necessary to replace concrete ingredients by alternate materials partially, without compromising the quality of concrete. This can be done by utilization of waste materials in concrete works. Materials such as Rubber powder, Cockle Shell, Bagasse Ash, Coconut Shell. Tire production in India is about 1416.5 lakh/nos, also cockle and coconut shell, Bagasse ash as waste are available in abundance. This materials can be replaced in concrete in order to reduce overall cost of concrete and to improve environmental health. We designed concrete for characteristic strength of M30,M40 for 7,28 days for continuous curing. We studied the procedure for material analysis, gradation, calculation of mix, mixing of ingredients, casting of cubes and testing of cubes for their respective strength expected. |

| Abstract | Aim of this study to determine Compressive strength and Flexural strength of M20 grade concrete with use of cotton fiber and silica fume. 15B-SP is used to improve the workability of concrete which is based on Sulphonated naphthalene polymers. Efforts for improving the performance of concrete over the past few years suggest that cement replacement materials along with mineral and chemical admixtures can improve the strength characteristics of concrete. Silicafume can be utilized to produce high strength and durable concrete composites. The Concrete specimens were cured on normal moist curing under normal atmospheric temperature. The Compressive strength determined at 7 and 28 days and Flexural strength at 28 days. The addition of Cotton fiber by the weight of concrete shows an increase strength property and Silica fume as cement replacement material shows early long- term strength. This system that is Ordinary Portland Cement - Cotton fiber - Silica fume concrete was found to increase the Compressive and Flexural strength of concrete on all ages when compared to concrete made with Cotton fiber and Silica fume and GGBS. |

| Abstract | As the India’s population grows in a rapid manner, the land required to produce the food required also increases. The concept of a vertical farm was introduced to remedy this crisis. In vertical farming, farms are stacked on top of one another, instead of branching out horizontally. After the Industrial revolution carbon footprint produced from the industries has increased in rapid manner resulting in climate change and global warming which had adversely affected agricultural production in many ways like degrading the quality and quantity of crops. Many variables to consider are cultivation quantity and quality, design and supporting technology in order to have successful implementation of vertical farming in India. Vertical farming is the practice of producing food and medicine in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces or integrated in other structures such as in a skyscraper, used warehouse, or shipping container, terrace etc. The project study is basically restricted to propose a self sustained structure based on vertical farming using a modern farming technique of soil-less agriculture to counter the problems generated in current conventional farming i.e. horizontal farming practiced in India. The project study also concludes cost benefit of vertical farming over horizontal farming. Project focuses basicallyon use of technique of hydroponic in vertical farming. The resulting social benefit from project is that the future population gets fed with organic and nutritious food. The project implements optimum uses of resources such as land and water so that maximum output can be achieved to overcome the food scarcity in future. |

| Abstract | The amount of waste glass has gradually increased over the recent years due to an ever-growing use of glass products. Most of the waste glasses are being dumped into landfill sites. The land filling of waste glasses is undesirable because they are not biodegradable, which makes them environmentally less friendly. There is huge potential for using waste glass in the concrete construction sector. When waste glasses are reused in making concrete products, the production cost of concrete will come down. Crushed glass or cullet, if properly sized and processed, can exhibit characteristics similar to that of gravel or sand. In this report we are going to discuss how the GRP waste powder will have its significant effect on concrete and its properties. Cement replacement levels by GRP waste powder 0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5%. The compressive strength of concrete cubes is tested for 7, 28, days were found and the flexural strength of the concrete beams is tested for 7, 28 days were found. |

| Abstract | As sustainabilityincreasingly becomes a concern to society, it is in state transportation agencies’ best interests to embrace and adopt initiatives that will both educate their employees and the communities they serve on how transportation systems and system operations can be viewed within such a context. One of the strategies that can be adopted for providing a more sustainable approach to highway design is a “highways rating system.” Adopting a strategy such as the one proposed in our research will enable an agency to compare projects based on sustainability goals and outcomes. Such a rating system can provide several benefits to various departments of transportation. Comparing the ratings of proposed projects during the early programming process may also help in the selection of more sustainably effective and efficient projects. Additionally, a project in the project planning phase could use the green rating criteria to identify those areas where changes in design could result in more environmentally sensitive designs. A Roadways rating tool is an important means of fostering an environmental ethic in a transportation agency, one that could become more important in years to come. |

| Abstract | Soil stabilization is a technique of altering some soil properties by different methods such as mechanical or chemical stabilization in order to produce an improved soil material which has all the desired engineering properties such as increased shear strength, bearing capacity etc. Stabilization of black cotton soil can be done by using biomedical waste (syringe). Biomedical waste syringe which is produced in every hospitals but rarely reused, so by crushing the plastic after detaching the needle and using it in stabilization of black cotton soil, will not only reduce the burden of disposing of the waste but also help to reduce the environmental pollution which will be obviously caused by dumping it. Powders of syringe were added in different proportion (2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%) by dry weight of soil. The results showed that there is marginally increase in strength, CBR and UCS values of black cotton soil by the addition of powdered syringe. The proposed method can be used for small projects like construction of village roads. The thickness of the pavement can be reduced by using powdered biomedical waste (syringe). |

| Abstract | India is a developing country, therefore Infrastructure development is necessary for our country and concrete plays a vital role in it. Concrete is the world’s largest consuming material in the construction field. The emission of carbon-dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere from the operation and maintena nce of structures as well as production of building materials can be reduced by using renewable resources and construction materials. Conventional concrete is relatively strong in compression but weak in tension, in order to overcome the weakness, the use of a sufficient volume of certain fibers such as sisal fiber is used in this experiment, which is easily available, renewable and economical. Micro silica, an industrial byproduct which is a very fine non- crystalline material is very good as filler material to provide good strength. By utilizing these waste materials in construction activities which solve the environmental pollution problems, also safer and economical construction. The main objective of this project is to investigate effect of silica fume and fiber orientation of sisal fiber on performance of concrete, which ultima te ly solve the problems of waste disposal and reduces global warming. Here in the experiment an attempt has been made to increase the strength of concrete by replacing cement partially with silica fume and sisal fibers at varying percentage in a design mix of M30 and M40 at the specific ages of 7 days and 28 days. |

| Abstract | India has increased the investment in construction industry over the past years and its being increasing at a rapid pace. The haziness of construction projects are always related to its duration being very long, such characteristic would require the responsible personnel to coordinate and collaborate within the addressed parties. In construction projects, both academics and action takers have a dispute on the causes of construction projects’ problems, but both agree that the main problem is the company’s focus on optimization of the individual personnel rather than focusing on the long term efficiency of team performance. Productivity is an important aspect of construction industry that may be used as an index for efficiency of production. Efficient management of construction resources can lead to higher productivity which can help to achieve cost and time saving. Construction is labour oriented industry. It heavily relies on the skills of its workforce. The labour is industry’s most valuable asset. It is important to improve efficiency of production by improving productivity of labour. Decreasing productivity of project has always been major concern for construction Industry. Aim of this project is to study the importance of measurement of labour productivity in construction industry around Mumbai sector after finding the factors affecting labour productivity.Factors affecting labour productivity were analysed using RII method. Measurement of labour productivity is done using work study method. RII method revealed top ten ranked factors which affect labour productivity. The data collection is done by work study method shows skilled labour as highly important factor affecting labour productivity. From the analysis of data collected it is observed that measurement of labour productivity is helpful in saving the time of the project as well as cost of project without hampering the quality of work. |
