Item Alternate low cost construction materials(AIKTC, 2018-05) Magar, Rajendra B.; Ansari, Musharraf Qayyum (14CES07); Malik, Sohail Yunus (14CES25); Pathan, Salman Noor Mohammad (14CES36); Shah, Mohammad Rahim (14CES40)Low cost housing is a different concept which deals with effective costing and following of techniques which help in reducing the cost of construction through the use of faraway available material beside with and technology improved skill without losing the power, performance and life of structure. There is huge misconception that low cost housing is suitable for only subnormal works and they are built by using cheap building material of low quality. The fact is that low cost housing is done by proper management of resources. Economy is also achieved by postponing finish work or implementing them in phases. Cost of reduction is achieved by selection of more efficient material or by an improved design. Construction of low cost housing by using low cost construction material increases the access to building by low income group peoples. Advantage of low cost building material are pollution prevention, reducing energy consumption and use of natural materials, and reusability of building materials. The review on various low-cost building design management are presented in this paper. Keywords: Low cost, building materials, construction.Item Influence of accelerated curing on the compressive strength of concrete incorporating fly ash(AIKTC, 2018-05) Magar, Rajendra B.; Shaikh, Sohel (14CES45); Siddiqui, Shanwaz (14CES49); Cheulkar, Nihal (15DCES62); Choudhary, Danish(15DCES63)Quality of concrete is an important factor in assimilating the strength of a structure. The factors that influence the quality of concrete more or less depend on the curing conditions. The type of curing used in this study are normal water curing and accelerated curing by boiling water method. The important aspect of any construction is time constraint that leads to the high impact on the economy of any project. The strength and the curing of concrete can be expedited by raising the temperature and thereby increasing the rate of hydration. This study aimed to investigate the behavior of the strength of M30 grade of concrete when cured under both conditions. The mix design was prepared by referring IS 10262:2009. The types of sample that were prepared was nominal mix and binary mix that incorporated fly ash with varying percentage i.e.25%, 30% and 35%. The specimen was prepared and tested according to IS 516:1959. The results obtained were then tabulated and compared. The comparison was done according to the curing conditions and respective percentage of fly ash. The optimum dosage of fly ash was concluded.
