Performance evaluation of drying shrinkage and durability in pavement quality concrete with recycled aggregate, ggbs and I-crete

by Chittibabu B. Durga Rani K.

Solid Waste Management

The study examines replacement of natural aggregates (NA) with Recycled Aggregate (RA) in Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) M40 grade (M1) with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% RA replacing NA in M2, M3. , M4 and M5 mixes. The compressive strength decreases with higher RA, but all mixes reach the target...

Fossil fuel emission prediction system using multiple kernel gaussian process

by Deborah S, A. Sivanaiah R. Rajendram S.M. Mirnalinee T.

Environmental data analysis and modelling

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 81% of greenhouse gas emission is due to Carbon-dioxide. When fossil fuels, solid waste, trees, and wood products are burnt, Carbon-dioxide emission occurs. The concentration of Carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere is reduced when it is...

Experimental Study of Hydrogen Use in a Diesel Engine in Automotive

by Balashowry K. Prasad kumar P. Aruna Prabha K. Sahithi V.

Global Environmental Change

The main objective of this experiment is to reduce the major pollutants NO and particulate matter that is emitted by diesel engines to avoid green house gases. The critical part is that reducing both the NO and particulate matter simultaneously is not possible. If we try to reduce PM, NO increases...
