Title	:	Analysis of Lateral Loads for a Framed Model with Tuned Liquid Damper
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Namrata Yannawar

Abstract:Earthquake resistant study is an area of concern since ancient period. Researchers are studying structures which are tall yet flexible, light weight and also problems from service abilities of structures. These structures are called as Smart structures. Scientist has invented types of smart structures for mitigation of winds and earthquake induced vibrations in tall buildings and many other structures. Seismic resistant tall buildings are a growing need in the civil engineering sector. One of the types of smart structure is a tuned liquid damper based on a passive system mechanism which is an inertial secondary effect.Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLD) is
properly designed liquid tanks.

Title	:	Study on use of Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis in decision making
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Mrs.M.M.Joshi || Dr. S.S. Shahapure

Abstract:Flood is one of major natural disaster, many nations experience injuries, property damage, economic and social disruption due to flood. Flood related problems could be solved through planning studies and detailed projects about flood prone areas. Determining the flood vulnerable areas is important for decision makers for planning and management activities. Decision making is a choice or selection of alternative course of action in many fields, both the social and natural sciences. The unavoidable problems in these fields necessitate detailed analysis considering a large number of different criteria. All these criteria need to be evaluated for decision analysis.

Title	:	Analysis of Elevated Water Storage Structure Using Different Staging System
Country	:	India
Authors	:	M. S. Mhetre || G. R. Patil

Abstract:Elevated tanks are structures of high importance which are considered as the main lifeline elements. i.e. operation during and after earthquakes. Many researchers have worked on the behavior, analysis, and seismic design of tanks, particularly ground tanks, while only a few of these researchers have concerned with the reinforced concrete elevated tanks. From the very upsetting experiences of few earthquakes, like Bhuj earthquake (2001) in India R.C.C elevated water tanks were heavily damaged or collapsed. This might be due to
the lack of knowledge regarding the proper behavior of supporting system of the tank due to the dynamic effect and also due to improper geometrical selection of staging.

Title	:	Effect of Vertical Ground Motion on Reinforced Concrete Structures
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Narayana Murthy. T || Prof. Patil. G. R

Abstract:The characteristics of the horizontal components of earthquake ground excitation have been studied extensively in the last few decades with both the earthquake engineering and engineering seismology research focusing primarily on these components to mitigate seismic risk. In contrast, the vertical component of earthquake ground motion has been virtually ignored in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology. However, with the considerable increase in near-source strong motion recordings and field evidence from
recent earthquakes, awareness of the importance of vertical ground motion has gradually increased. For example Papazoglou and Elnashai (1996) amongst a few others drew attention to the significance of vertical ground motion and its damaging effects on structures.

Title	:	Analysis of Column Retrofitted With Fiber Reinforced Polymer in Civil Infrastructure
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Poonam A. Patil || Prof. G.R. Patil

Abstract:The present paper deals with the verification of experimental results in terms of load-carrying capacity and strains, by using software. Also to check the load carrying capacity with different shapes of columns with same cross sectional area. Parameters considered are the number of composite layers and the corner radius for a square shape. The number of layers of FRP materials and the corner radius are the major parameters, having a significant influence on the behavior of specimens. The test results from preliminary
testing proved that the benefit of confinement could be enhanced by increasing the stiffness of external confinement applying multiple layers and by a good corner radius for square shape. Depending on the selected radius of edge, the section varied from square to circular. The primary variables are corner radius and lap length of FRP. The test result shows that smoothing the edge of square cross section plays a significant role in delaying the rupture of FRP composite at these edges, and efficiency of FRP confinement is directly related to the radius of cross section edges.

Title	:	Removal of Heavy Metal from Landfill Leachate Using Vertical Flow Construction Wetland
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Mrs. Meenakshi A. Khapre

Abstract:Landfill leachate is a highly contaminated wastewater consisting of organic and inorganic matter and heavy metals. Heavy metals are present in high concentration in leachate. The direct release of heavy metals into the environment contaminates the soil and water bodies and causes health hazards. Most of the conventional methods used for leachate treatment do not give good results as per standard norms of Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM). Construction wetland (CW) is one of the alternative methods for landfill leachate treatment. This study is aimed at evaluating the efficiency of CW to treat landfill leachate using Cyperus altinofalius plant.

Title	:	Waste Minimization at construction site
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Lalita Patila || Bharati Mahajan

Abstract:Construction waste results from the construction of buildings ,roadways ,bridges ,and other man made. It is estimated that construction industry in India generates about 10-12 million tons of waste annually. The projections for building material requirement of the housing sector indicate a shortage of aggregates to the extent of about 55000 million cu.m. An additional ,750 million cu .m. aggregate would be required for achieving the targets of the road sector .Recycling of the aggregate material from construction waste might reduce the demand – supply gap in this sector. While retrievable items such as bricks, wood, metal ,tiles are recycled ,the concrete and masonry waste ,accounting for more than 50 % of the waste from the construction activities ,are not being currently recycled in India. In this research work one case study is taken .In that case study for estimation of different types of construction waste in field. A survey of generation of construction waste in construction of residential houses is done .The observations and results obtained from the survey of the construction waste are presented in the tabular and graphical forms.

Authors	:	R S Deshmukh || L S Kendre || L C Chaudhari || S S Hirve || S P Shinde

Abstract: Plastics are everywhere in today's lifestyle and are growing rapidly throughout particularly in a developing country like India. waste plastics are burnt for apparent disposal which cause environmental pollution. As these are non-biodegradable material there is a major problem posed to the society with regard to the management of these solid wastes. Utilization of waste plastic bags in bituminous mixes has proved that these enhance the properties of mix in addition to solving disposal problems. Plastic waste which is cleaned and
cut into a size such that it passes through 4.75-2.36mm sieve using shredding machine. The aggregate mix is heated and the plastic is effectively coated over the aggregate.

Title	:	Experimental Study of Steel Fiber Prestressed Concrete Beam for Shear, Bending and Torsion
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Satyajeet B. Mopari || Ajinkya D. Raut

Abstract:In this modern age, civil engineering constructions have their own structural and durability requirements. Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a composite material made primarily from hydraulic cements, aggregates and discrete reinforcing fibers. Fiber incorporation in concrete, mortar and cement paste enhances many of the engineering properties of these materials such as fracture toughness, flexural strength, resistance to fatigue, impact, thermal shock and spalling.The FRC is a composite material made of cement, fine and coarse aggregates and discontinuous discrete steel fibers. Recently developed an analytical model to predict the shear, tensional strength and bending torsion behavior of fiber reinforced concrete beam with experimental substantiation.

Title	:	Use of Rc Shear Walls In Strengthening Of Multistoried Building With Soft Storey At Different Level
Country	:	India
Authors	:	P.M.Thorat || A.R.Rasane

Abstract::Due to increasing population since the past few years car parking space for residential apartments in populated cities is a matter of major concern. Hence the trend has been to utilize the ground storey of the building itself for parking. Also for offices or for any other purpose such as intercourse hall etc. soft storeys at different levels of structure are constructed. Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building structures are vulnerable to severe damage or collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. An earthquake with a magnitude of six is capable of causing severe damages of engineered buildings, bridges, industrial and port facilities as well as giving rise to great economic losses. Experience in the past earthquake has shown that a building with discontinuity in the stiffness and mass subjected to concentration of forces and deformations at the point of discontinuity which may leads to the failure of members at the junction and collapse of building.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	Akhinesh K || Jithu G Francis || Junaid K T || Jishnulal K || Jeril Netto Joseph || Remya Neelancherry

Abstract:Industries are the major sources of wastes. Disposal of these wastes is found to be one of the serious issues. Most of this waste causes severe health, environmental and dumping issues. Continuous efforts have been made for the effective use these wastes in various purposes. Mill scale is a waste by product of steel industry, which is produced at the rate of 35–40 kg per ton of produced steel. In the present study, attempts were made to use the mill scale as a replacement of sand in cement concrete. The studies show that the compressive strength of concrete has increased by the replacement of sand with mill scale. The concrete with 15% replacement of sand with mill scale shows an optimum strength of 28.11N/mm2

Title	:	Use of Saline Soil as option for Modeling Clay for Idol Making
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Subodh A. Mhamankar || Ambareesh K. Kshirsagar

Abstract:Ganesh chaturthi is one of the main festivals celebrated in India, it is the most celebrated festival in western India. After predetermined time the idol is immersed in water bodies every year. Idols made from Plaster of Paris have increasing demand for this festival for few advantages over traditional Modeling Clay. Low cost and toughness of idol are main reasons for increased use of Plaster of Paris idols in society. In the present study, in addition to Plaster of Paris and Modeling Clay, Saline Soil is introduced to make such Idols in lesser cost than Modeling Clay. Saline Soil found near creek areas can be used to make such idols in less expenditure. India has very large costal area and many creeks. This soil has nearly the same properties as the Modeling Clay.

Title	:	Study of Impact between Two Equal & Unequal Buildings during Earthquake
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Veppur Ganesh Pandian || Prof. G. R. Patil

Abstract:Increasing population and growing social and commercial activities but limited land resources available in a modern city lead to more and more buildings being built closely to each other. These buildings, in most cases, are separated without any structural connections. The ground motion during earthquakes causes damage to the structure by generating inertial forces caused by the vibration of the buildings masses. From previous studies it was observed that majority researchers did the work on the separation gap between two adjacent structures. Thus, after reviewing the existing literature it was observed that most of literature compares existing & low-rise structure. The project objective is to decrease the effect of earthquake responses on structures. The main objective and scope are to evaluate the effects of structural pounding on the global response of building structures and to determine the minimum seismic gap between equal and unequal but adjacent buildings. In this project using response spectrum analysis we have checked whether two models have displacement within the permissible limit for adjacent buildings as well as to determine & compare the seismic gap provided as per IS 1893-2002 and other codal provisions.
Keywords - Low-rise structure, adjacent building, Response spectrum analysis.

Title	:	An overview of the Fenton Process for Industrial Wastewater
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Vrushali Pawar || Sagar Gawande

Abstract:This paper is on 'An overview of the Fenton Process for Industrial Wastewater'. Fenton Reaction
applied to the treatment of industrial waste water. The importance of wastewater treatment to the environment is
discussed, followed by the benefits and limitations of treatment technique. Chemical fundamentals are focused on
the generation of hydroxyl radicals. This method is based on the use of radical generators like hydrogen
peroxide, Fenton's reagent. The aim of study is to introduce the Fenton processes for the reduction of chemical
oxygen demand in wastewaters from industry.

Title	:	A Review on Evaluation and Development of Effective Flood Forecasting, Warning and Response System
Country	:	India
Authors	:	M.S Waghmare || Rajendra Hire || Smita Hailkar

Abstract:To provide flood warning to the community involves significant uncertainty. Historically all the
uncertaintyrelatedto the data and models used. Also flood plain management is applied method at the river
engineering and essential for the purpose of managing river training practices. It is necessary to simulate
complicated hydraulic behavior of the river in a more simple way. The technology to bring in a number of
objective techniques to estimate uncertainty in hydrologic modelling is slowly gaining acceptance both
nationally and internationally. This review paper discusses how these technologies can be used within a flood
forecasting environment and explore ways on how this uncertainty can be communicated to the public.

Title	:	Comparative Study of Water Quality Parameters of Different Brands of Soft Drinks
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. S.S. Jahagirdar || Dr. V.K. Patki || Prof. R. M. Thavare || Mr. Somdutta Patil || Mr. Shubham Rangrej

Abstract:A soft drink is a drink that contains no alcohol but is usually referred to as a sugary drink. We overwhelmingly order Soft drinks or Soda cans as a part of the meal. It's a proven fact, that today's youth mostly prefers Soft drinks or Soda cans to fresh Fruit juices. Soft Drinks Impact on Health is getting adverse day by day. For determining bad effects of soft drinks, ten popular brands of soft drinks were collected from local market in Solapur & qualitative analysis is carried. The analysis included different testing carried in
chemistry lab viz. pH, Acidity, Dissolved Oxygen, Chlorides, Sodium (Na) & Potassium (K) content, Electrical conductivity & Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
