Review Paper on Utilization Potential of Rice Husk Ash as Supplementary Cementitious Material
No full textAn overview of the opportunities and challenges in sustaining the energy industry in Afghanistan
No full textEnergy access is not only crucial for economic growth but also important for any strategy to improve the health and social welfare of a nation. Afghanistan’s energy industry is in poor condition due to many years of war and negligence. Despite international agencies’ support and energy policies adopted in the last few years, Afghanistan has no universal access to power. Besides, the residences suffer from an irregular distribution of power supply. There is a growing gap between demand and supply, and the current predictions of demand do not show reality due to hindered economic growth. Afghanistan’s domestic power transmission is limited, which must be extended for the country to enjoy a stable and sustainable energy supply. Sustainability and security of Afghanistan’s power sector would rely on its ability to become self-reliant in power generation. Overall, the objective of this paper is to summarize the current energy status of Afghanistan and to identify energy opportunities for self-sufficiency and challenges in various aspects of energy sources. To meet energy demand, Afghanistan can develop its autochthonous hydrocarbon and renewable energy resources. By improving its domestic energy potential from natural resources, Afghanistan can fulfill its primary energy requirement. Further, along with policy formulation, appropriate and planned implementation of renewable energy policy, energy efficiency targets, and strategies, Afghanistan can reach energy self-sufficiency goals with socio-economic development
Damage identification in concrete under impact loading at varying temperatures using voltage strain relations technique: an experimental and numerical study
No full textImpact-loaded concrete structures cause severe and rapid damage, resulting in significant property and human life loss. As the temperature rises, the damage caused by impact loading becomes increasingly severe. Concrete structures need structural health monitoring (SHM) to avoid this damage and loss. In this study, the voltage strain relation technique was used to identify the damaged state of concrete under impact loads at various temperature conditions experimentally and numerically. For this purpose, an experimental study was performed on concrete cube specimens in which different piezo configurations (surface bonded, non-bonded, and jacketed) were installed to acquire the voltage data. Before applying an impact load to the top surface of the concrete specimen, it was preheated at 50 °C, 100 °C, and 150 °C to provide the temperature effect, and then a free-falling iron ball was dropped from 3 m heights on the top of the specimens. Furthermore, finite element analysis has been carried out to validate the experimental results with analytical results. The experimental results show that the voltage strain relation technique is well capable of detecting the damage in concrete under the temperature and impact loading conditions. The maximum absolute voltage value (Vp) of 17.11 V was recorded for the jacketed sensors under an impact height of 3 m at 100 °C. All the piezo sensor configurations are capable of finding the damage. Jacketed sensors are more efficient in the health assessment of concrete in terms of voltage strain relations. In terms of strain values, the analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental results
System Safety in Healthcare: The Right and Wrong Ways to Perform Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
No full textThe objective of performing Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is to use sound risk management principles, coupled with innovative solutions that can assure high return on investment (ROI). Quality Guru Philip Crosby wrote in his book, Quality is Free, that quality is free if you do the right things at the right time. Essentially, the savings from avoiding fixes, process changes and lawsuits are much higher than the cost of doing things right. The principles of sound risk management, experienced by this paper’s co-author Dev Raheja as an international engineering management consultant over 30 years, include:
Identifying risks
Assessing risks
Mitigating risks
Orchestrating risk management
Aiming at high ROI without compromising safet
Analysis of PCE-based Superplasticiser for the Different Types of Cement using Marsh Cone Test
No full textThe Marsh cone test is a direct and straightforward technique for examining the fluidity of cement paste using a superplasticiser. Polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based Auramix 400 superplasticiser, portland pozzolana cement, and ordinary Portland cement are used for finding the optimum dosage of superplasticiser with specific cement. The optimum dosage and the superplasticiser's efficiency are determined by the marsh cone test for two types of cement. The fresh and mechanical properties and non-destructive testing of the concrete mixes made by two cement types have been compared. The water-cement ratio is kept constant for both types of cement. Results show that the optimum dosage of superplasticiser depends upon the different types of cement. After the saturation point, the fluidity of cement paste doesn't affect increasing the quantity of superplasticiser. Both concrete mixes' fresh and mechanical properties of the same grade are similar, but the fine aggregate and coarse aggregate requirements are higher in OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) mix concrete than in PPC (Portland Pozzolana Cement) mix concrete. The requirement of superplasticiser is more when used with PPC than the OPC concrete mix
