Sugarcane bagasse ash is an offshoot of sugar factories found after burning of sugarcane bagasse which itself is found after the extraction of sugar from sugarcane. The disposal of this material causes environmental problems surrounding sugar factories. Sugarcane bagasse ash is rich in silica that can play the role of an effective pozzolana which leads to improve pozzolanic reactions resulting in better performing building materials. Light weight concrete can be prepared from low density bagasse ash. Surface reactions are improved due to its high specific surface area. Some percentage of cement is replaced with bagasse ash to determine the fresh and hardened properties of the concrete mix. Compressive strength of the concrete can be improved tremendously on later stages of addition of bagasse ash. Incorporating sugarcane bagasse ash in concrete can further alter the other various performance of concrete. Keywords—sugarcane bagasse ash, pozzolana, fresh and hardened properties.

The overall production of the cement has greatly increased which results lots of problems in environment as it involves the emission of CO2 gas. Environmental concerns, stemming from the high energy expense and carbon dioxide emission associated with cement manufacture have brought about pressures to reduce cement consumption through the use of supplementary materials. Materials such as Metakaolin, fly ash have good pozzolanic activity and are a good material for the production of high strength concrete. Copper slag is a by-product of copper extraction by smelting. Copper slag can be used in concrete production as a partial replacement for sand. However, it is expected that the use of Metakaolin, Fly ash and Copper slag in concrete improves the strength properties of concrete. Keywords: Supplementary cementitious material, Cement, Fine aggregate

Failure loads of sheet pile having various profiles such as U, Z and Omega/Hat profiles under compression was carried out by using equations of strength of materials and compared the failure load under various modes such as Euler’s buckling, torsional buckling and failure load due to yielding. Compared the strength of various profiles under flexure by using finite element analysis. Sheet pile can be analyzed as a unit cell for the simplified finite element analysis. For selecting the unit cell sheet pile with omega/Hat section was analyzed for profile containing one to eight numbers and checked the convergence of bending stress and maximum lateral deflection. Interlocks were analyzed for three different conditions such as plane interlock, interlock filled with bitumen and welded interlock. Location of interlock and neutral axis of the wall will affect the stability of the structure. Sheet piles with various cross sections were analyzed and studied the shear stress and bending stress along the cross section. From the structural performance of various cross sections omega/hat section can be considered as the most efficient cross section for the cold formed steel sheet pile because of its more load carrying capacity under compression and high torsion resistance and less bending stress. Results from the finite element analysis for the selection of unit cell shows that the stress and deflection value was converge at the sheet pile having 6 numbers of profiles. Keywords: sheet piles, building, resistance.

Kerala has a rich source of inland waterways, which can be used for the betterment of the state and country. One side of Kerala has a stretch of coastal line of the Arabian Sea and when it comes to the inland areas, the National Waterway 3 lies parallel to the Arabian Sea from Kollam to Kozhikode. This study deals with the actual potential of National waterway 3 which plays a prominent role in the commutation of goods and people. The inland waterways are the healthiest option in contrast to roads and railways, however it’s actual potential remains invisible for most people. The possibility of national waterway 3 is much higher if we deal with it in a better way. This study deals with the facilities, potential, relevance and challenges faced by the national waterway 3 and is presented from the information based on secondary data and information has been sourced from various books, trade journals, government publications newspapers and observations.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a widely used technology in many kinds of geological survey. It’s a geological method that uses radar pulse to image the surface. It is a non- intrusive method of surveying the subsurface to investigate underground utilities such as concrete, asphalt, metals, pipes, cable etc. To add onto these properties of GPR, here a drone and several sensors, which will make GPR surveys more efficient and accurate. The GPR is mounted over a drone (DJIM600 Pro) which will give more precision in work and exploring difficult areas. A GPR mounted on a drone enables to see the underground surface of ground without compromising safety and providing more efficient surveying. Also, it can be used for surveying in unreachable areas and make our job easier. In order to increase the application level of GPR drone integrated system several sensors such as pressure, thermal, humidity, snowfall, rain, gas, infrared sensors are also mounted. In short, GPR drone integrated system with sensors is the easiest and safe solution for geological surveys, archaeological surveys, weather forecasting etc. Keywords: GPR; geology, drone.

The Kerala State is a narrow strip of land in the southwest of India, with the Arabian Sea on the west and the Western Ghats in the east. Recent studies related to contaminant transport in the soil and groundwater in Kerala have reported Fluoride contamination in the aquifers. Due to the poor quality of the surface water sources in the state, the majority of the population in the state depends on groundwater resources for domestic and agricultural uses. When using groundwater for domestic purposes, it is highly important to analyze the quality of the groundwater. This study focuses on the analysis of the Fluoride transport in the soil and groundwater in two different lithological units (laterite and coastal alluvium) in the State. The study concluded that the aquifer in coastal alluvium formation is more susceptible to Fluoride contamination compared to the laterite formation. Keywords- Groundwater contamination, dispersion, diffusion, HYDRUS-1D

The efficient movement of materials at sites in fair quantity at fair time without any interruption is called material flow. Operation and flow of these materials is a challenge experienced in sites today due to material scarcity, delivery delays, inadequate transportation facilities, loss and wastage, insufficient storage space etc. Data on material flows and inventory levels is intended to promote circular economy and resource efficiency in the construction sector. This paper presents a case study in Kerala, India with the purpose to quantify the flow of materials and stocks in the construction site. A questionnaire survey was conducted to find out the main factors that can affect the flow of materials in the building industry. Out of 65 respondents labour, equipment, material, time and cost are identified as the main factors which can contribute towards material flow. Based on the identified parameters, a material flow pathway is developed for the case study. It demonstrates the management of logistics and factors influencing the movement of materials on work sites. It therefore helps in the analysis of factors concerning the efficient use of materials in infrastructure projects. Keywords-material flow, logistics management, material scarcity, infrastructure projects.

Construction industry is an important growth indicator because it generates investment opportunities across multiple related sectors. The construction task or work environment is very risky and hazardous and its susceptibility to accident. The major cause of the accident is the employees' poor safety performance in construction sites. These root causes of accidents and factors influencing them need to be studied in order to improve safety results. In pipeline sleeper construction, safety is a dynamic decision issue close to normal construction cases. The study identifies the critical risk factors affecting the safety performance and ways to achieve sustainability in pipeline sleeper construction to counteract the risk of accident occurrence. Based on the evaluation of the questionnaire survey, the study explains twelve most important factors and sub factors, which were rated to have more than a moderate effect on safety performance. The six keys to sustainable success for integrating worker protection in the assessment of sustainable construction is also discussed. Keywords-Hazards, pipeline sleeper, safety performance, risk
