Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an important issue in the field of civil engineering especially large infrastructures. In this project, an innovative piezoceramic based approach is developed for the structural health monitoring of various structures. The piezo-electric property of the PZT is used for Structural Health Monitoring and Damage detection. A ceramic based piezoelectric material PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) and piezoceramic based disc is used for compressive and seismic stress monitoring. Piezoelectric material converts the mechanical strain applied on it into electric charge, and vice-versa. Hence, both the properties will be used alternatively in actuator and sensor. The results will be used for damage analysis and categorization.

The innovations originated in more than 20 countries, and cover all facets of construction, including design, fabrication, construction, rehabilitation, labor, management, equipment, and materials. From simple tools to complex systems, innovation makes construction of higher quality that is less expensive, safer, more beautiful, less environmentally intrusive, and better understood and accepted. It helps preserve and renew the old and makes the new more enduring, it provides much of the spirit and challenges that excites and rives the great industry. One of the major issues to be addressed when coming to construction is the choice of the appropriate material. An already, classical implementation of the field techniques, widely used for construction is Cement, Steel, Glass, Wood etc are the main components of any construction now a days. In recent years, several emerging high strength materials have attracted enormous attention as potential candidates for construction. High strength steels has been used as main part of building for more than 40 years because of its manufacturability and ability to deliver continued tensile improvements as it has been made ever stronger. The innovations in construction here are such that they have helped us improve quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness of construction.

Turkish geophysicist and earthquake scientist Ahmet mete lsikara’s famous observation “QUAKES DON’T KILL PEOPLE, BUILDINGS DO” sums up the potential danger of compromised earthquake resistant design that looms over most of us. Poorly designed building contributed most to the recent catastrophe in Nepal. Thus it echoes the need for resilient and earthquake–resistant structural design and building materials. Builders and developers today are giving more focus to the quality of construction materials used in construction and are focusing on disaster resistant architecture that can withstand such natural calamities. For India to realize the prime minister’s visionary idea of smart cities, it would require not only safe architecture, but also smarter materials and solutions which make construction process easier and fasters. Steel as structural material provides respite to structural engineers and architects alike since it is ductile and is thus resilient. Buildings using steel structures are lighter than concrete once thereby attracting lesser seismic forces and also allow the flexibility of complex shapes. It is important that whenever comfort mobility, energy resources and respect for the environment are challenged by the situation, smart, eco-friendly and innovative construction solutions to harness the need for a lighter, faster and easier method of construction should be activated and start functioning.

Improvement of soft ground deposit s near the coastal areas, delta and black cotton soil areas of the country has been the challenge for infrastructural development. Rapid urban and industrial growth demands more land for further development. In order to meet this demand reclamation and utilization of unsuitable and environmentally affected lands have been taken up. These useless lands for construction have been converted to useful ones by adopting one or more ground improvement techniques. A wide range of techniques have been employed for the load settlement response of weak soil deposits. The field of ground improvement technique is rapidly expanding. It requires lots of investigation and monitoring some of the field problems related to compaction characteristics and feasibility of construction material.

Engineering structures are often very complex and difficult to analyze for their dynamic, or vibrational, behavior. With the immense loss of life and property witnessed in the last couple of decades alone in India, due to failure of structures caused by earthquakes, attention is now being given to the evaluation of the adequacy of strength in RC framed structures to resist strong ground motions. Modern performance-based design methods require ways to determine the realistic behavior of structures under such conditions. Enabled by advancements in computing technologies and available test data, nonlinear analyses provide the means for calculating structural response beyond the elastic range, including strength and stiffness deterioration associated with inelastic material behavior and large displacements. In general, the study of the inelastic seismic responses of buildings is important to provide economical design by making use of the reserved strength of the building as it experiences inelastic deformations. In the present paper, Performance evaluation of R.C.C. Symmetric frames located in Seismic Zone V is done using Non Linear Dynamic Analysis. It is widely recognized that Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis constitutes the most accurate way for simulating response of structures subjected to strong levels of seismic excitation. This analytical method is based on sound underlying principles and features the capability of reproducing the intrinsic inelastic dynamic behavior of structures. Thirteen Ground Motions are selected in present paper, in which there are seven past Indian ground motions and six artificial ground motions. For this paper 4, 6, 9 storey R.C.C frames is selected for performance evaluation. Due to faster solver system and fiber based concept among all software’s SeismoStruct software is chosen to perform Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis. Finally, Performance evaluation is carried out in terms of displacement profile and drift limit from performance criteria mentioned in ATC-40 and Fema-356.

Water is the basic need of all living being of world. Demand of water is increase day by day. Water supply system is a system of engineered hydraulic and components which provide water supply. For the development of nation, water distribution network are very important for development of an area as they serve many purposes in addition to provision of water for human consumption. The water distribution network plays a virtual role in preserving and providing desirable life quality to the public, of which reliability of supply is the major component. It is difficult to provide safe water to the rural people in sufficient quantity, quality and at satisfactory pressure head with achieving economy constraint. EPANET software is used to design and analyze the multi village supply system with reference to technical sustainability. EPANET is computer program that performs extended period simulation of hydraulic behavior within pressurized pipe network. The study presents the hydraulic analysis of pipe line network of Punagam area near Surat city using EPANET 2.0. The area has 600.83 Ha area and 2, 22,252 Population (2016). Source supplies water to city by 109 junction having 144 Pipes divided in two different zones. The water from this source is taken via network of pipes to the GSR (Ground Services Reservoir) across the area. The water from these GSR is then pumped to the Adjacent ESRs (Elevated Storage Reservoirs) during the supply hours and water is supply to the area by gravity. Simulation has been carried out for hydraulic parameter such as had pressure and flow rate. The result obtained verified that the pressure at all junction and the flows with their velocities at all pipes are feasible enough to provide adequate water to the network of study area. The findings will help to understand the pipelines system of the study area in a better way. The study also deals with the future demand of the area.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is an advanced composite material that has been identified as a potential new construction material. Since it is a non-corrosive material it may be used as reinforcement in concrete member. However, there is limited experience with the design and construction of GFRP reinforced concrete structures. An analytical method is used to predict the deflection of the rectangular reinforced concrete beam strengthened by GFRP bars. To achieve the aim, finite element modelling has been carried out. All the work and modelling of beam is carried out in the software called ATENA 3D, a product of CERVENKA CONSULTING. During the study, experimental analysis of the beams were carried out and results from analytical and experimental works were compared. For such study, efficiency and effectiveness of different but very practical GFRP scheme for flexural and shear strengthening of RC beam has been analyzed. Here the beam reinforced with appropriate number of GFRP main bars and steel bars and combination of both were analyzed in the software and experimental work.

The scarcity and availability at reasonable rates of sand and aggregate are now giving anxiety to the construction industry. Over years, deforestation and extraction of natural aggregates from river beds, lakes and other water bodies have resulted in huge environmental problems. Erosion of the existing topography usually results in flooding and landslides. Moreover, the filtration of rain water achieved by deposits of natural sand is being lost, thereby causing contamination of water reserves used for human consumption. Hence, to prevent pollution authorities are imposing more and more stringent restrictions on the extraction of natural aggregates and its crushing. The best way to overcome this problem is to find alternate aggregates for construction in place of conventional natural aggregates. Rubber aggregates from discarded tyre rubber in sizes 20-10 mm, 10-4.75 mm and 4.75 mm down can be partially replaced natural aggregates in cement concrete construction. About one crore 10 lacks all types of new vehicles are added each year to the Indian roads. The increases of about three crores discarded tyres each year pose a potential threat to the environment. New tyre is made of natural rubber (also called virgin rubber), styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR), Poly-butadiene Rubber (PBR), Carbon black, Nylon tyre cord, rubber chemicals, steel tyre card and Butyl rubber.

STRUCTURE

Buildings and other structures have a certain useful life, which depends on the specifications adopted. The large numbers of monuments, which are cherished heritage structures have stood well over a period of time. But some of these have shown signs of distress due to age, aggressive natural environment/industrial pollution etc. Further, distress gets aggravated due to overloading and misuse of buildings. A few Buildings have also failed due to faulty design or construction. The various causes of structural failure and the principles of rehabilitation of structures are discussed. In the structures, the cracks are generated due to different causes e.g. in some cases cracks are caused after the structure has been completed for a few years which results in shortening of life and strength of structure. The main criteria is how to repair a reinforced concrete elements of structures and for this the skills, knowledge, and experience required to repair damaged or deteriorated structures are decidedly different from those required to build new structures. The purpose of this paper is to justify the latest techniques, advanced materials and various requirements of repairing work to obstruct the deterioration which is necessary and economical than to reconstruct the building.

Configuration of building is very much important for good seismic performance of the building. The important aspects affecting seismic configuration of a building are overall geometry, structural system and load part. Those parameters are behaving different way in flat slab structure and conventional slab structure. Research on the design of structure has started not only India but in other developed countries also. The building still damages due to some or other reasons due to earthquake. In spite of all the weakness in the structure either code imperfection or error in analysis and design, the structure configuration system has played a vital role in Calamity. In general normal frame construction utilize column, slab and beam .however it may be possible undertake construction without providing beams, in such a case the frame system would consist a slab and column without beam. In our study it has been planned to analyses a building having flat slab and conventional slab under the effect of various loading conditions. The focus of our project is to compare the behavior of building having flat slab and having conventional slab using software aid.

In India the vehicles are increasing day by day , in these vehicle the maximum number is occupied by two wheelers at the same time the service center for maintains of these vehicles are also increases. The activities done in service center generate waste water which includes oil and grease. These oil and grease are organic matter and also biodegradable but it takes more time to naturally degrade and separate out from water. That oil forms a layer on surface of water. In STP there is skimming tank are provided to separate out the oil from water, but this method is also not suitable for longer time as the oil gets clogged in skimming tank and other units of STP. It is difficult to clean, maintain and to run the units. Hence there is need to remove the oil and grease at source itself. Adsorption technic is effective method for removal of oil and grease from source. Corn cobs are the agricultural waste material used for the adsorption technic. In this technic adsorbate are cobs. The experiment is carried out by considering different parameter 1) flow rate 2) dose 3) contact period 4) length of channel. The efficiency of removal of oil and grease is up to 70% to 80%.

Amount of waste water containing heavy metals is increasing in the environment due to industrialization. Heavy metals treatment of waste water should be done due to increase in pollution and scarcity of water. Hexavalent Chromium is one of the heavy metal emitted from textile dye, tannery, nuclear power plants, and battery making steel and electroplating industries which cause chronic disorders in human. It is one of the most common metal present in the effluents. So it is necessary to remove heavy metals from waste water as it is very toxic. The study was carried out to increase the percentage removal of hexavalent chromium, characteristics, efficiency and economy of waste water by low cost adsorbent.

One of the major issues to be addressed when coming to construction is the choice of the appropriate material. An already, classical implementation of the field techniques, widely used for construction is Cement, Steel, Glass, Wood etc. are the main components of any construction now a days. In recent years, several emerging high strength materials have attracted enormous attention as potential candidates for construction. High strength steels has been used as main part of building for more than 40 years because of its manufacturability and ability to deliver continued tensile improvements as it has been made ever stronger. Being a good and responsible citizen of India we here are presenting the paper that tries to solve the problems of the Indian Army with the best of the technologies that we have so that they can have the good condition for the work and as they ensure our protection we can ensure that they are more safer while protecting us. We here have compared the tradition base camps and the condition of the work and tried to solve their problems with the use of Nanotechnology. The unique properties of nanomaterial’s have provide its beneficial use in various fields and have considerably grown to a large scale in field of defense for Developed nations. Here the nanotech concepts we have used to modify the tradition methods of national security and give sustainability to the defense industries. Although these materials have unique properties along with that few considerations like cost and economy is to be made.

The durability of concrete depends on its resistance to deterioration and the environment in which it is placed. The resistance of concrete to weathering, chemical attack, abrasion, frost and fire depends largely upon its quality and constituent material. It is generally accepted now that in designing structures the durability characteristics of the materials under consideration should be evaluated as carefully as other aspects such as mechanical properties and initial cost. A basic understanding of understanding causes of concrete deficiencies is essential to perform meaningful evaluation and successful repairs. As Concrete is more vulnerable to deterioration due to chemical or climatic attack, hence effect of aggressive chemical environment on different types of concrete is studied.

Disposal of plastic waste in an environment is considered an important issue due to its very low biodegradability and presence in large quantities. Hence, recycled plastic is a major solution. Present investigation melt-densified material used as light weight coarse aggregate in concrete. Melt-Densified Aggregates (MDA) was prepared from post-consumer recycled plastic bags by melting. A comparative study was done with conventional specimens. Melt-Densified Aggregates can be used for partial replacement of aggregates in a concrete mixture. The unit weight of the concrete mix was reduced contributing to light weight structures and ecological sustainability. As much as 60 % of both industrial and urban plastic waste is recycled which obtained from various sources. Hence, MDA solves the 3-fold problem of pollution, light weight structure and economy.

In recent years, water pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems. The Mula, Mutha and Pavana rivers, flowing through the Pune City and Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial area, are polluted with untreated domestic sewage and partially untreated industrial waste from nallas. The city is under continuous stress due to population growth, industrial growth and waste generation. The river water quality has deteriorated with respect to some of major water quality parameters like Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and phosphates levels. In account of Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), all the pollution parameters are above permissible limits in Pune Rivers. Water pollution is caused mainly by the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated sewage, industrial effluent and waste-water runoff from households. Water pollution has its most immediate effect on human health, through water borne diseases also people living near the Pune Rivers and nallas suffer from bad odor, mosquito and other problems. Thus when highly polluted nalla water discharges to the river causes water pollution. Hence there is need to treat nalla water effectively so as to minimize this pollution. Artificial Floating Island is a cost effective and environment friendly method for removing pollutants from the water streams like river, lakes and nallas. Its core is utilizing aquatic plants and root’s microbes to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus elements, degrade organic matter. AFI has been applied to some water pollution control projects and has got several achievements. In this study, AFI has been proposed for treating nalla water from PCMC area. Various parameters like BOD, COD, TS, and pH is to be analyzed.

Urbanization and faster speed of our life have let us live a happy and smooth life but with accordance to the advancement there adds a discomfort to the city life. A city is considered developed when it have all the possibility to develop but as far as city’s now a day’s face many of development problems due to which the city’s development is incomplete. The urban population in India has increased significantly from 62 million in 1951 to 285 million in 2001 and is estimated to grow to around 560 million by the year 2021. It would be touching 37% of the total population in next 15 years. India’s urban population has growth rate of nearly 41% in last decade. This directly means providing additional shelters for around 65 million households, as well as places to shop, work besides number of administrative and entertainment complexes. We are focusing on sustainability in the realization the human rights to slum and its dwellers, the report examines how the rights of slum can and must be met for present and future generations. Using the human rights framework, the report analyses states’ common approaches to its water and sanitation, particularly in adopting measures both during times of normalcy and during economic and financial crises, and shows how those approaches often fail to incorporate sustainability. In this paper we tried to reach the stack holders and users to get the problems according to them rather than studying it or classifying it as a whole. The purpose reach from the classification of their problems and providing sustainable temporary solution to them such that the time till they are living there they should live not suffer their living. As a part of the conclusion to the paper we have declared the feasible sustainable solution to the problems they face. We also have enlisted points that slum users want to convey to the government. The design of the various sustainable solutions to the base problems is also given.

Solid waste generated at domestic level is the single largest component of all wastes generated in our country. A number of research studies have shown that somewhere 300 to 600 gm of solid waste is generated per person per day in our country. Eventually, Municipalities everywhere face the problems of waste collection, processing and disposal or treatment of voluminous solid waste produced by the cities. Moreover, the rains and humidity on the garbage promotes the bacterial multiplication and enhances the spread of infectious diseases. However, due to their rich organic contents, the solid waste can be a good resource to produce manure & energy. It has been estimated that about 70 MW equivalent power could be generated from urban & municipal waste alone. This potential is likely to increase further with our economic growth. The present study includes the current practices of waste to energy in various cities of India. Also challenges and suggestive measures are presented for these cities in this field to achieve sustainability.
