Effect of Size on Compressive Strength of Concrete Cylinder Specimens using Sand and Sulfur Cap
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 8 In the majority of structural concrete design, the compressive strength is obtained from testing of 150x300 mm concrete cylinders under standard laboratory controlled conditions with different capping system. Some testing machines are unable to produce the force needed to break high-strength 150x300 mm concrete cylinders. If 100x200 mm cylinders are to be used in quality assurance testin...

Flexural Behaviour of Reinforced Low Calcium Fly Ash based Geopolymer Concrete Beam
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 8 The production of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) causes pollution to the environment, due to the emission of CO2. Geopolymer Concrete,an alternate materialis introduced to replace OPC. Low Calcium Fly ash, a by-product from the coal industry, is widely available in the world. Silicate and Alumina are rich inFly ash.Hence it reacts with alkaline solution to produce Alumina silicate gel th...

Estimated Ecological Flow of the PRETO River by the Wetted Perimeter Method
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 7 The ecological flow is the minimum flow of a river necessary to maintain its aquatic fauna. In the present study, this flow was estimated for the Preto River, which belongs to the Piabanha River Basin, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Because the Preto River’s entire length is within the state, its management is under the responsibility of the Rio de Janei...

Doppler Shift Estimation of Signals Modulated by Pseudorandom Sequences
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 7 The problem of estimating Doppler shifts and delays of signals modulated by pseudorandom sequences is discussed. It is shown that signals reflected from slow-moving targets hidden among optically opaque wreckages contain some information on targets in the variations of the full phase of a signal over the period that exceeds considerably the pseudorandom oscillation period. For example, t...

Engineering Applications of the Newly Available Roughness-Length Measurements by AOML at 213 ASOS Stations
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 7 Most recently, the Hurricane Research Division of the U. S. Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) has made extensive surveys of the roughness length (Zo) in each of the 213 Automated Surface Observation Stations (ASOS) located in tropical-cyclone prone regions. The original 8 values of Zo for each of the 45 degree segments within the 360 degree compass in each ASOS ...
Water Requirement for Crops in Barind Area- Before and After Implementation of BIADP, Bangladesh
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 7 This project work was conducted in Rajshahi district under Barind area of Bangladesh to estimate the consumptive use (Cu) and crops irrigation water requirement (C.I.R) from irrigated rice and wheat fields. The work was carried out to compare the Cu and C.I.R at maximum and minimum temperature during pre (1964-1985) & post (1986-2008) implementation of Barind Integrated Area Development ...

Construction Cost Modeling CCM an Ideal Tool for Value Engineering
Published In: GJRE Part: E: Civil & Structural Volume: 13 Issue: 6 Value Engineering is a systematic method to improve the value by examining different nctions.â€ÂValue“as defined is the ratio of function to cost. Value can therefore be increased by either improving the functions or reducing the cost by saving. The difference between the function-cost and function-worth indicates the measure of the potential for cost saving th...
