EFFICIENT APPLICATION OF A TERTIARY MIXTURE OF CONCRETE IN RIGID PAVEMENT

Abstract

Concrete is the building material that is utilised the most often all around the globe. Because of how simple it is to put together, it is the primary building material for every kind of structure. Compressive strength, shear strength, and durability are all characteristics of concrete\'s physical makeup. In this particular piece of research, we looked at the ternary blended system, which refers to the practise of combining conventional portland cement with silica fume or other types of cement replacement additives. It should be noted that this is not a precisely valid ternary combination that comprises an efficient system. It is possible to get higher early strength by using fly ash in the cement mix. When both silica fume and fly ash are used, the resulting combination has a strength that is much more than the sum of the contributions made by each component, taking into account their respective percentages. Together, silica fume and fly ash provide a synergistic effect that strengthens both the microscopic structure and the overall performance of concrete. The design calls for the substance that reinforces concrete to be placed randomly throughout the matrix of the concrete. It is possible that the compressive strength and durability of concrete will enhance with the inclusion of these additional fibres. This mixture also contains a super plasticizer known as Glenium B233, which helps to minimise the quantity of water while simultaneously improving the mix\'s workability features. We investigated the qualities of ternary blended concrete, namely its compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, by means of the experiments that we carried out. The purpose of the current experiment is to explore the compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength of ternary blended steel fibres reinforced concrete and the addition of various percentages of crimped steel fibres with aspect ratio, such as 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5%. The compressive strength of concrete may be determined by conducting tests on standard cubes (150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm) at ages 7 and 28 days after they have been placed.
KEYWORDS : Compressive strength, ternary blended material, super plasticizer, and steel fibres are some of the key things to keep in mind here.

POWER SHARING AS A CATALYST FOR PEACE: A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS

Abstract

Power sharing has emerged as a critical mechanism for resolving conflicts and promoting peace in diverse societies worldwide. This research paper delves into the concept of power sharing, its various forms, and its effectiveness as a tool for mitigating conflict and fostering reconciliation. Through an examination of case studies and theoretical perspectives, this paper aims to elucidate the nuanced dynamics of power sharing arrangements and their impact on peacebuilding processes in conflict-affected regions.
