The construction industry in India is an integral part of the nation and can be identified as one of the rapidly growing sector which gives employment to maximum of the workers after agriculture. Construction workers are the backbone of the Indian economy as they create the infrastructure necessary for industrial growth. Construction work provides employment and growth of other parallel industries such as cement, paint, wood, electrical work, hardware etc. It is basically a labour intensive industry which provides livelihood to many people in India. Increasing number of population living in urban areas and towns have taken up construction work as a means of immediate employment beside rural population as it assures for at least day to day sustenance of their family life.

In order to provide practical reference for the practical application of Permeable polyurethane stabilized recycled gravel aggregate (PPSRA), which is made of polyurethane glue and cement stabilized gravel milled material, its strength and road use. The effects of performance were studied. Firstly, the unconfined compressive test and the flexural test were used to analyze the effect of porosity, glue dosage and glue component ratio on its strength. Then, the water stability and water permeability of PPSRA were tested by water immersion Marshall test and permeability test. The road is evaluated by performance. The results show that the strength increases with the increase of the amount of glue; when the distribution ratio of A and B is 1:2.5, the strength of PPSRA peaks, and the strength of PPSRA increases with the increase of porosity. The compressive modulus of PPSRA is 800-1300 MPa, the residual stability is 85%-90%, and the permeability coefficient is 0.8-1.0 cm˙s-1.

The effect of 6 wt.% Ni addition on the morphology and static micro-hardness of Al-20Si-9Fe- 1.2Nb and Al-20Si-9Fe-1.2B (at wt. %) alloy ribbons was investigated in the present study. Alloys with mentioned nominal compositions were prepared by conventional casting and further processed melt-spinning technique. The resulting ribbons of studied alloys were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) together linked with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in order to analyse the morphology and chemical composition of samples, while the hardness was synthesized utilizing Vickers microhardness test device. Results exhibited that with Ni addition Si solubility in α-Al matrix was increased in both studied meltspun Al-alloys. Furthermore , the mechanical properties of both investigated melt-spun alloys has been improved by 6 wt. % Ni addition.

This paper presents visualization of the data set lying in a higher dimensional space using commute time embedding. However, commute time embedding involves computing spectral decomposition of the graph Laplacian matrix, which requires computational burden proportional to O(n³), which might not be suitable for large scale dataset. Recently, many methods have been proposed to reduce the computational burden. These methods, which usually involves sampling the affinity matrix of the graph, might be suffered from the distortion induced by computing spectral decomposition of the normalized graph Laplacian from the sampled affinity matrix. This paper proposes how to reduce the distortion by preserving the properties the normalized graph Laplacian matrix should be symmetric and positive semidefinite even after its approximation by sampling process. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed by checking the embedding results on a patch graph in both geometric and topological ways.

Aggregate types and gradation are one of the characteristics of aggregates that affected the properties of HMA performance. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to investigate the effects of aggregates types on hot mix asphalt performance. In order to get the desired objective, a systematic methodology was adopted which includes field investigation, and laboratory tests was carried. While the purposive techniques was used to collect aggregate samples. The laboratory test results of aggregate types were fulfilled and achieve the requirement of Ethiopia Road Authority (ERA). The laboratory test result of basalt, rhyolite and limestone aggregate HMA mix design volumetric properties, stability and flow value are affected by aggregate gradation. The same gradation of laboratory test result of HMA mix design volumetric properties, stability and flow values are impressively affected by aggregate types............

Frictional properties of road surface play a major role in road safety; as the friction between tire and pavement is considered an essential contributing factor in reducing potential crashes. Due to the increase in the percentage of traffic accident rates in Egypt; the assessment of friction values of the surface layer became one of the main problems which needed to be studied. This paper presents the evaluation of pavement friction values for major types of Egyptian roads; desert, agriculture, and urban roads. In this study, tested roads have been evaluated by a portable skid resistance mechanism using a British Pendulum (B.P.) tester according to the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM E303-93)............

Structures in high seismic risk areas may be susceptible to severe damage in a major earthquake. For the variety of structures and possible deficiencies that arise, several retrofitting techniques can be considered. Bracing system is one of the retrofitting techniques and it provides an excellent approach for strengthening and stiffening existing building for lateral forces. Also, another potential advantage of this system is the comparatively small increase in mass associated with the retrofitting scheme since this is a great problem for several retrofitting techniques. Our ability to build seismically safe structures with adequate seismic resistance has increased significantly in the past few decades. Manyreinforced concrete frame structures built in seismically active areas are expected to perform inadequately in a seismic event............

The geology of the Gulf of Guinea, at the southeastern foot of Mount Cameroon presents a transition from a sedimentary terrain to a volcanic terrain marked by the presence of anactive Cameroon Mountain. The presence of seeps at the foot of this Mountain could serves as an indication for more onshore exploration in the area. Samples from these seeps were collected for rheological studies at temperatures ranging from 20.4oC to 60.1oC using a Brookfield DV-II Pro viscometer. Such studies were necessary to investigate the change in rheological properties of seeps after long exposure to the surface. The measurements provided for the percentage torque at given speeds, shear stress and the apparent viscosity data at various shear rates and at different temperatures.............

The performance of the video concept detection method depends on, the selection of the low-level visual features used to represent key-frames of a shot and CNN based Model. Video Concept detection is the task of assigning an input video one or multiple labels indicating the presence of one or multiple concepts in the video sequence. In this paper we have implemented video concept detection using a deep CNN and the low level visual features modeled using GMM supervectors. In the experiment, CNN achieves better classification accuracy on TRECVID dataset due to the capability of feature and classifier learning.

In energy transmission systems, effective equipments on power control are generally known as Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). In addition, the power electronics-based equipment, which are called power conditioners are used to solve power quality problems. Since the topologies of these equipments are similar to those used in FACTS equipment, power conditioners are also called Distribution FACTS (DFACTS). The principal operating modes and applications whichever one of equipment in transmission and distribution system (such as UPFC, and DVR) will be discussed and compared. In this work FACTS based equipment are implemented and the comparative study has been done to underline the special features of each. The nonlinear load and complexity of control system in industrial processes have triggered the power quality problems in the distribution network. The major aim of power quality enhancing techniques is to maintain a specified voltage magnitude at a desired frequency for sensitive....
