    Design and cost economic analysis of self compacting concrete for mivan shuttering
    (International Journal of Engineering Development and Research, 2016) Syed, Mehdi Abbas (14CEM16); Magar, Rajendra; Patil, Dada S.
    This paper summarizes the experimental work performed to design a self-compacting concrete for Mivan shuttering and cost analysis of cost of the designed per m3 mineral and chemical admixtures. Workability tests such as Flow table test, V funnel test and U box tests were conducted. Compressive Strength test was performed out on hardened 150mm concrete cubes after 3, 7, & 28 days curing in water. The output of the research work was a highly workable concrete which could be used for densely reinforced sections of Mivan shuttering.

    Use of Rice Husk Ash in Concrete
    (International Journal of Scientific and Engineering Research, 2015-12) Syed, Mehdi Abbas (14CEM16); Patil, Dada S.
    This paper summarizes the research work on the properties of Rice Husk Ash (RHA) when used as partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in concrete. OPC was replaced with RHA by weight at 5%, 10% and 15%. 0% replacement served as the control. Compressive Strength test was carried out on hardened 150mm concrete cubes after at1, 3, 7, 28, 45 & 56 days curing in water. The results revealed that the Compacting factor decreased as the percentage replacement of OPC with RHA increased. The compressive strength of the hardened concrete also decreased with increasing OPC replacement with RHA. It is recommended that further studies be carried out to gather more facts about the suitability of partial replacement of OPC with RHA in concrete.
