Cement Manufacturing
(a) Reclaiming Fly Ash for Use in Cement Manufacturing The drying and electrostatic separation equipment allows for Brunner Island basin ash to be converted to ProAsh and EcoTherm without relying on high temperature combustion of the residual carbon. Read More.
Concrete, Mineral and Chemical Admixtures
(a) Investigating Concrete Cracks There are two basic types of concrete cracks: intrinsic or non-structural and structural. Intrinsic are naturally occurring cracks that are related to concrete as a material such as plastic settlement and shrinkage, freezing of freshly placed concrete, crazing, thermal and drying shrinkage, seasonal temperature changes, corrosion of reinforcement, and alkali-aggregate reactions. Whereas, structural cracks are typically associated with overloads from either construction or service loads. Read more.
(d) Wheat Straw Ash as Partial Sand Replacement for
Production of Eco-Friendly Concrete
Environmentally
friendly solution is proposed to investigate the incorporation of wheat straw
ash (WSA) by replacing fine sand in concrete. Read more.
(e) Plastic Waste to Build Better Radiation Shielding Researchers added powdered plastic waste to concrete and improved its radiation shielding capacity. Read more.
(f) Longest Prestressed Girder The Washington State Department of Transportation teamed up with Concrete Technology to produce the longest prestressed girder of more than 223 feet for a bridge over the Puyallup River. Read more.
Books
(a) Mineral
Admixtures in Cement and Concrete, Author: Jayant D. Bapat, CRC Press, Taylor
& Francis Group
Written
for engineers, this book focuses on how to make more workable and durable
concrete using mineral admixtures. For each mineral admixture, the book looks
at manufacturing and processing, physical characteristics, chemical and
mineralogical composition, quality control, and reported experiences. It also
examines the provisions of national standards on the admixture’s addition to
cement and concrete. Offering a deeper understanding of mineral admixtures, it
encourages engineers to more effectively use these and other wastes in cement
and concrete to support more sustainable growth of the cement and construction
industry. Read More.
(b) Blissful
Souls All Of Us: Author: Dr Jayant D Bapat: Publisher: CreateSpace, USA.
The Book is a result of
author's quest to remain happy forever. It focuses on self-improvement through
meditation. The real and original nature of self, common to all human beings,
is empathic, pure and joyful. However, that ‘self’ has deviated considerably
from its original nature. Meditation is a time-tested tool to reach the
original nature of self. Like exercise is for the body, meditation is for the
mind. Practice controlled breathing or pranayam to assist meditation. The book
gives helpful tips to practice meditation for self-improvement. Blissful
experiences gained during meditation are useful resolving conflicts, reducing
stress, building durable personal relationships and recording improved
performance at the work. Meditation and controlled breathing balance the
intelligence. The exercise teaches to take a holistic view of life and life’s
problems. Book is available in both print and Kindle version. Visit the link to
buy/review the book.
