The roads are the dominant mode of transportation in India today. India has dubious distinction of nation with about 8-10% towards road death which is nearly one lakh every year. Pavement surface quality is a primefactor which enhances the serviceability of a road. Pavement surface quality is spoken in unevenness and assessed in terms of the automobile wheels movements and suspension arrangement along with the drivers' understanding of speed and acceleration. Though, notwithstanding the rapid high-tech advancement of high-speed roughness checking apparatus, it should not be ignored that highway pavements are constructed for the drivers, who have ever been keenly aware of the relative degrees of ease or distress felt in traveling. Mostly, travellers believe in three basic things from the pavement surface; even trip, sufficient resistance to slipping, and enough power to shift the traffic to the following section of the highway configuration. Hence their insight on road surface quality should also be considered. In this case study an attempt has been made to maintain the roads by monitoring the roughness of road surface whether they exist in good, average or poor condition at specific reach of Chandigarh city in India.

Confusions in different land conditions in normally delicate Quartzite rock regions represent various issues for architects and organizers to go through for development exercises particularly the development of Hydro Power Plants. This paper clarifies that how the complete geotechnical examination program attempted at the site guides in battling the topographical varieties and intricacies to guarantee the achievement of solidification grouting performed at Power Tunnels viz. Head Race Tunnels, Tail Race Tunnels. The information about the presence of discontinuities like flaws, deficiencies, gaps, number of weak zones, exceptionally changing topographical conditions with over trouble of thick vegetative cushion which presents danger to development exercises in delicate quartzite rock mass should be surveyed prior to undertaking the Consolidation Grouting activity. Solidification Grouting under high tension is normally led to make up for shortfalls in rocks and to combine the stone mass around the fringe of passages so the delicate stone mass around the passages should act as a solid construction and become impermeable. The porousness tests are then led to dissect and survey the productivity of combination grouting. This paper uncovers how the different geographical tests embraced at site not just assistance the designers and organizers in keeping up with noteworthy improvement in porousness esteems in delicate quartzite rock mass around the head race burrows yet additionally help in setting aside cash, labor and material.

Energy consumption has become the challenge especially in developing countries such as India and China. In recent times, increasing fears about the environmental impressions of energy consumption and global warming has exaggerated this concern. The building sector is consuming one-fourth of the share at state level power consumption in Punjab where the procurement of coal even becomes the challenge and thermal plants needs to be stopped leading to almost blackout in the state. This paper examines the energy saving conformations leading to reduction in energy management of the building. To achieve this, a residential building is modeled in Design builder software and simulation is carried with Energy Plus integrated tool. In this paper, simulation were carried out with variety of double glass formations with infill material such as argon and air in gap of 12 mm. Full year simulation was performed for the composite climate. Simulation results indicated the considerable reduction in solar gains by 28.28% and cooling load by 27.08%. Further, initial assessment was carried out by calculating approximately the cost of double glass unit and payback period for different window formations. It is recommended to use the double glass unit empanelled window formation which has the potential to reduce the electricity bill considerably. The initial cost is approximately 2.12 times more than traditional window which be offset by the savings over energy consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present work concentrates on different blend plans of the pervious concrete according to IS10262-2009 and IS456-2000 in order to accomplish blend plans of M20 concrete by changing water to ratio of cement proportion and various extent of fine totals. The analyses were completed using tierce water-cement proportion i.e 0.420, 0.460, and 0.500 and coarse to fine total aggregates were saved equivalent to 6.0:1.0, 5.5:1.5 and 5:2. The experimental work pointed toward accomplishing an extent which gives sufficient compressive strength as well as is adequately permeable to deplete water through the blend. Because of broad test works, it was reasoned that blend having water-cement proportion 0.460 with coarse total to fine total proportion of 5.5:1.5 was permeable enough as well as shown compressive forte equivalent to 20.287 MPa in 28 days.
