FDI in Retail Sector in India: Challenges and Opportunities
Kahkashan Khan
ABSTRACT- The Retail Sector of India is very vast, and has capability for development, as the majority of its constitutes are un-organized. The retail sector of India contributes of about 15% to the national GDP, and employs a huge workforce of it, after the agriculture sector. The retail sector of India handles about $250 billion every year, and is expected by veteran economists to reach to $660 billion by the year 2015.The business in the organized retail sector of India is expected to grow at the rate of 15-20% every year, and reach the level of $100 billion by the year 2015.....>> Read More
Shredded Scrap Tires as Drainage Materials in Landfill Cover System Ajay Kum
Ajay Kumar Verma & Dr. S.M. Ali Jawid
ABSTRACT- Shredded Scrap tire serve as good drainage material and have durability since tires are made up of such material that are indestructible. Over 280 million use, bikes, truck and automobiles tire discarded each year nationwide. Disposal of whole tires in landfills was the common practice in many countries for many years. However whole tire tend to float to the surface. Breaking the landfill cover and causing increased leachate production which can contaminate groundwater. Because of this many states have banned the disposal of tires in landfill.....>> Read More
Comparison of Different Traffic Noise Prediction Models
Swati Tiwari & Dr. R.K. Shukla
ABSTRACT- The incessant growth in the number of vehicles and the ever expanding road network, results in the increase of road traffic noise, which has led to the gradual degradation in the quality of the environment. Also, the management of road traffic noise is a challenging task for environmental managers and urban planners. For the assessment of traffic noise, urban planners often have to rely on road traffic noise prediction models. A review of various traffic noise studies and the number of traffic noise .....>> Read More
Behaviours of Reinforced Concrete Skew Slab under Different Loading Conditions
Kanhaiya Lal Pandey
ABSTRACT- Behavior of reinforced concrete skew slab under different loading condition is reported in this paper a total of three slabs were tested in structure and concrete laboratory of Madan Mohan Malviya Engineering College Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. All the test slab were full scale model of prototype skew slab having opposite edges simply supported. For all the slabs same steel arrangement was used, Main steel was parallel to free edge and distribution steel was parallel to support line. Aspect ratio 0.625 were.....>> Read More
Improving the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beam With Varying Lap Splices Length
Ashish Singh
ABSTRACT- The main objective of this paper is to study the behaviour of lap splice of steel reinforcement in tension zones in reinforced concrete beams. An experimental program is conducted on fifteen simply supported concrete beams. The main studied variable is splices length in the splice zone. There is an increase in ductility of beams when transverse reinforcement was used......>> Read More
Study on the Behavior of Pile Cap Model with Various Type Failure of Concrete Cap
Ambareesh Kumar
ABSTRACT- The ability of pile caps to resist vertical loads is often neglected in the design of pile groups to support buildings and bridges, although these caps are often massive and deeply buried. Neglecting cap resistance can result in excessively conservative estimates of pile group deflections and bending moments, exceeding the actual deflections and bending moments by 100% or more of pile cap failure. This paper present the result of pile cap failure of deferent type cracks and the show cracking load and failure load of concrete pile caps.....>> Read More
Analysis of Finite Element Mesh Spacing Influence On Modeling Results
Rohit Rai
ABSTRACT- In the present work the modeling of curved deck slab was done with computer program which was done with the help of finite element method .In model the mesh spacing was varied and its influenced on various properties i.e. deflection, bending moments, and torsional moments are discussed. In this only quadrilateral meshing is taken. And it was found that the mesh spacing changes the results of FE Analysis. However, it also was found out that after certain value of mesh divisions the results start to .....>> Read More
