Evaluation of Geogrid Reinforced Sand Bed Performance Under Static and Dynamic Loadings
type: item
description: Geogrid-reinforced Soil (GRS) can improve the bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of foundations and has been widely applied to the treatment and improvement of soft soil foundations. Civil engineering structures are subjected to static load in the foundation and dynamic loads like moving wheel, machine vibration, and seismic loads etc. This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests conducted on a square footing resting on the geogrid-reinforced sand bed under both static and dynamic load. Commercially available biaxial geogrid made up of polypropylene material having square aperture were used in the experimental investigation. The effect of reinforcement distribution parameters like spacing between the reinforcement (S/B) and the reinforcement layers number(N) are used as the testing parameters. The results of experiments are represented in terms of the non-dimensional parameters, for static load condition, Bearing Capacity Ratio (BCR); for dynamic load condition, the Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR), and Settlement Ratio (SR). The experimental results clearly demonstrated that these parameters have a significant influence on the performance of Geogrid-reinforced sand bed. In general, the Bearing Capacity Ratio (BCR) and Cyclic Resistance Ratio (CRR) increased and Settlement Ratio (SR) reduced with the increase in the number of reinforcement layers and reduced rein-forcement spacing.

Association Between Brands and Attributes of Various Project Management Softwares Used in the Construction Industry : A Correspondence Analysis
type: item
description: The present study aims to examine the association between various brands of various project management softwares used in the construction industry and their attributes. A survey of 164 project managers working in various organizations in the construction, manufacturing, chemical, and information technology industry was conducted. The data were gathered from project management professionals working in various organisation in seven different countries viz; India, the USA, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Egypt, and Germany. Correspondence analysis was conducted to analyze the data by using SPSS software. The results show that Primavera 6 and Microsoft Project are preferred by project managers to perform schedule management activities in the construction industry. For performing cost management and contract management functions, the project managers were found to prefer Primavera Unifier, SAP, Deltek, and EcoSys. For performing ‘risk management’ function, the project managers prefer Primavera risk analysis software. The results of this research study would be useful to the professionals working in the construction industry to select appropriate brands of PMIS for performing a specific project management activity in the construction industry.

Rooftop Cooling
type: item
description: Roof cooling methods reduce indoor heat and lower energy costs by limiting how much solar heat a building absorbs. Popular solutions include reflective or solar-white coatings, heat-resistant tiles, green roofs, and traditional techniques like lime wash or filler slabs with clay pots. The choice of method varies by climate and regional conditions. Some options are simple enough to implement yourself, while others require professional installation. Selecting the right approach depends on factors such as climate, budget, durability, structural capacity, and insulation requirements. This paper reviews different rooftop cooling strategies, highlighting their advantages, drawbacks, and how they are applied.

Sustainable Development of Eco-Friendly Tiles Using Plastic Waste and Discarded Polyester Fabrics
type: item
description: Bengaluru generates nearly 900 tonnes of municipal solid waste daily, which makes up to 20% of the city’s overall municipal waste. The growing use of plastic, with per capita consumption averaging 16 kg per month, has placed considerable pressure on the city's waste management system. Poor recycling practices and improper waste disposal contribute to drainage blockages, water pollution, and the degradation of air and soil quality, adversely affecting environmental and public well-being emphasizing waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and responsible end-of-life management through a circular economy framework can contribute to more efficient and sustainable use of resources. Following this sustainable approach, the study focuses on manufacturing eco-friendly outdoor tiles by incorporating waste materials such as polythene bags, discarded polyester textiles, and PET waste, thereby reducing waste accumulation and environmental degradation. This study investigates the use of processed plastic waste as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in proportions of 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight. The prepared tile specimens were tested for their performance, particularly water absorption, compressive strength, and compared with conventional cement tiles. The results show the potential of utilizing plastic and textile waste in construction applications, contributing to waste reduction, cost efficiency, and sustainable infrastructure development.
