Item Stabilization of subgrade using geotextile(AIKTC, 2020-05) Sarvade, Shivaji M.; Turekar, Sufiyan (17DCES71); Waquar Ahmed, (17DCES72); Shah, Arbaz Husain (17DCES57); Patel, Punit Hasmukh (17DCES49)Soil stabilization is the process of improving the load bearing capacity and engineering properties of subgrade soil to support pavements and structures. This work examined the stabilization of two soil samples (with geotextile & without geotextile). CBR were conducted with and without geotextile. Geotextile were placed at various depths (top & bottom, middle, 1/3, 1/4). The experimental results give a clear indication that the presence of geotextiles increases the CBR value of the soil thus, geotextile should be employed as a modernized form of improving road construction on poor soils and to reduce the layer thickness of pavements. Key words: stabilization, geotextile CBR, pavement, soil.Item Resuse of grey water(AIKTC, 2020-05) Shah, Dhaval; Shaikh, Sana Ahmed (17DCES66); Shaikh, Razi Osi Ahmed (17DCES65); Abdus, Salam Md Suleman (16CES03); Khan, Bilal Mohammed Hanif (16CES16)Both water scarcity and the desire to increase the sustainability of domestic water resources have stimulated the search for efficient water use practices. These reasons drove our exploration of greywater—its characteristics and potential uses. Freshwater scarcity is a serious issue that affects at least one-fifth of the world's population and more will be affected due to population growth, mismanagement, increased urbanization and climate change. Innovative concepts and technologies are straight away needed to close the loop for water. Greywater reuse is one of the main alternatives for reducing potable water consumption in households, industries and commercial buildings. This article aims to review some of the principle greywater treatment technologies and their applications. This will also help to reduce the load on the sewage treatment plant It is absolutely necessary to study the Characteristics and behavior of grey water, this will help in determining the degree and type of treatment required to be study involves the analysis of pH value, total solids, total suspended solids, hardness, alkalinity, chloride, chlorine, BOD and DO. The samplings of the greywater will be done in different times of the day to have an average data of the measured parameters. A greywater treatment plant will be designed with the treatment units. Keywords: Characterization, greywater, treatment procedure. millions of people worldwide recycle greywater to irrigate tpeheir gardens and flush their toilets.Item Slope stabilization by piles(AIKTC, 2020-05) Marlapalle, Vedprakash; Shaikh, Ateequr Rehman (17DCES60); Shaikh, Mohd Tahir (17DCES62); Shaikh, Mohd Salman (17DCES63); Shaikh, Mohd Umer (17DCES64)It is a comprehensive analysis on various experimental and numerical studies on slopes. Small scale physical modeling of slopes under surcharge loads was performed on loose sand slopes. Digital image was captured during the incremental loading from the model’s side. Particle image velocimetry and 3D numerical model were applied to investigate the slope under surcharge loading: several important factors that control pile performance are investigated. safety factors and location of slopes are obtained and compared. The results show, the 3D failure surface of various reinforced and unreinforced slopes are obtained and compared. The results show, the 3D failure surface shape in front of piles is from its conical shape in laterally loaded piles. This paper also analyzes the effect of soft bound interlayer, soil properties, pile spacing, pile position, and surcharge distance on the safety factor and slip surface shape of the stabilized and non-stabilized slopes. The results indicate that the distance of soft soil layer from ground surface and its horizontal direction angle strongly influence the optimum location of the piles. The numerical modeling results show that increasing the distance between the piles prevents instead, increases the failure volume in the slope.Item Net zero energy building(AIKTC, 2020-05) Jadhav, Umesh; Rampure, Sachin S. (17DCES51); Bhosale, Amit A. (17DCES35); Zimal, Mayur P. (17DCES74); Chorat, Ashish S. (17DCES37)The main objective of this paper is to study and analysis the existing building and also to give an overview on an existing building to make it a perfect Net Zero Energy Building. It is much difficult to understand the overall concept of a net zero energy building. As all we know that the building has significant impact on the energy use and the environment which is turn affect on the development of the present era. In present the lack of conventional energy sources encourages in developing the NZEBs. According to the survey a major effect of building on the total worldwide energy consumption level i.e. around 40% of the total energy is consumed by only buildings and becoming a major primary energy consumptive part of the worldwide structure. The ZEB definition can be describe significantly the demand and fuel supply strategies and conversion accounting are appropriate to meet a ZEB goal.Item Construction site layout planning using BIM(AIKTC, 2020-05) Jadhav, Umesh; Mirkar, Shaibaz Mansoor (17DCES46); Borkar, Sharia Shaukat (17DCES36); Darwesh, Saqlain Sharafat (17DCES39); Golandaz, Avesh Kutbuddin (17DCES41)Having an efficient construction site layout can significantly impact the productivity, cost and safety of a construction project. Construction site layout planning is therefore recognized as a critical step in construction planning by researchers. In literature this is often described as an optimization process where some objectives (e.g. safety, cost savings) are pursued within the constraints of the site and facilities requirements. Such models are usually complex and difficult for practitioners to apply, and usually result in each project having its unique site layout plan. Each participant in a building construction project requires a dedicated work space in which to execute their activities. In this environment, inappropriate work-space planning in a construction site causes work-space problems, which results in a loss of productivity, safety hazards, and issues of poor quality.Item Optimization of welded plate girder without stiffener as per IS 800:2007(AIKTC, 2020-05) Hawelikar, Shoukin C.; Khan, Akram (17DCES43); Lotankar, Siddhi (17DCES45); Sayyed, Kahef (17DCES43); Tamhane, Akansha (17DCES70)Steel as a structural element for construction are widely used in construction of bridges, silos, furnaces, trusses and building floor, etc. Plate girder are made up from separate structural steel plates which are welded, bolted and riveted together to form flanges and web of the beam. Plate girder are often used in steel bridges and providing economical solutions in cases of large and heavy loads or in other words varies in its length under various loading conditions. Generally, optimization aims towards the best results in a given circumstance to maximize the benefits and to minimize the inputs. They are governed to improve structural properties under consideration of specified constraints. Nowadays number of optimization technique has been used in various fields. Along with the optimization techniques, various experimental works on without stiffened plate girders has also been discussed. Number of optimization techniques exists and it is inconvenient to discuss about all those techniques. Considering that, an effort is made to concentrate on techniques that are commonly adopted for the past two decades. The usual method of selecting a girder is based upon loading. Since these sections often shows that the web resists shear forces, while the flanges resist most of the bending moment experienced by the girder. Plate girder theory shows that the I-shaped section is a very efficient form for carrying both bending and shear loads in the plane of the web. Mainly while considering designing of both girder i.e. with stiffeners and without stiffener the design procedure is same and it's observed that the selection of the girder depends upon the intensity of loads, length of the girder and economy. As per structure requirement as engineer we have to select any one of these two i.e. girder with stiffener or without stiffener. So our aim is narrowed towards the study of behavior of plate girder with stiffeners on various combinations of loading and length and accordingly the cost of the girder on stability criterion as per (IS 800:2007). Also we will try to predict length, depth of girder on the basis of amount of loading and for that purpose we will generate equations which can help designer and engineer to select a suitable girder.Item Design of high rise building including dynamic wind analysis(AIKTC, 2020-05) Sarvade, Shivaji M.; Ansari, Mohammad Zaid Nigar Ahmad (17DCES33); Ansari, Sohail Kamil Ishaq (17DCES34); Pandhre, Farhan Khalil Ahmed (17DCES48); Shaikh, Banafsha Mohd Naeem (17DCES61)The elastic plastic dynamic analysis of high rise building under strong wind load will help engineers to evaluate the performance. The considerable changes in the building techniques have tended to make tall and flexible structures more susceptible to action of wind. Wind load are now assumed at greater significance in relation to other forces imposed on the structure and thus now become an important consideration in the design of low as well as high tall flexible structure. Gusts at ground occur because of turbulence due to friction, wind shear, or by solar heating of the ground.Item Experimental investigation on stone column using waste materials(AIKTC, 2020-05) Nadaf, Maheboob; Gupta, Prince Dipchand (16CES10); Khan, Arbaaz Maqsood (16CES15); Patil, Yadnesh Ekanath (16CES24); Pawar, Aditya Subhash (16CES25)Among various ground improvement technique, soft soil reinforcement by stone column is one of the most common and convenient method with numerous benefits including increased bearing capacity and consolidation reduced post construction settlement and lateral movement and improved slope stability and liquefaction control ,among others. They are mainly used for stabilization soft soil such as soft clay, silts, and silty sands. The stone column consist of compacted gavel (debris) and waste plastic bottle casing to reduce the clogging of material within the gap between debris particles. This article present installation methods, design and failure modes of stone column.Item Net zero energy building(AIKTC, 2020-05) Parkar, Fauwaz; Shaikh, Jahangir (15CES44); Bagwan, Saif Ali (15CES13)The proposed Net zero residential building is located at NASIK. The NZEB has G+3floor. The total land surface covered by the Net zero energy residential building is around 170 square meters. A complete design shall be done for the proposed NZEB using Indian standard codes. There are three main phases in a construction project which are planning, designing, modeling, quantity estimation and costing. The first stage in a project is planning, in which preparation of layout of plot has to be done. To conclude the project a detailed estimate of the residential building has also been prepared.Item Experimental study on inclined pile(AIKTC, 2020-05) Marlapalle, Vedprakash; Ansari, Abdullah (15CES07); Tamboli, Munazza (15CES04); Shaikh, Naushad (16DCES85); Sahani, Hemant (13CES43)When a structure is subjected to large amount of lateral load, incline piles are used. Incline piles convert overturning moment into compression and tension forces. Little literature is available about the behaviour of batter piles in group. In present study tests were conducted on inclined pile groups under lateral load with batter pile inclined at 20º, 30º, 40º, 50 ºand 60º. Further as batter angle increases from 60º to 50º pile capacity increases. The uplift capacity of pile with inclined uplift load was observed that the uplift capacity of pile depends upon inclination of pile and load. The uplift capacity of pile varies with inclination of pile angle. The uplift capacity also varies with inclination of load. The uplift capacity increases with increase in length of pile. The uplift capacity of pile depends upon the L/d ratio.Item Prediction of pavement unevenness using bump integrator(AIKTC, 2020-05) Kazi, Tehsin; Sayeed, Guhagarkar Mubeen (14DCES58); Kazi, Danish Abdullah (16DCES68); Khan, Aslam Nasir (14CES15); Pugavkar, Puja Dipak (17DCES50)Pavement surface unevenness plays a pivotal role on roughness index of road which affects on riding comfort ability. Comfort ability refers to the degree of protection offered to vehicle occupants from uneven elements in the road surface. So, it is preferable to have a lower roughness index value for a better riding quality of road users. Roughness is generally defined as an expression of irregularities in the pavement surface which can be measured using different equipments like Merlin, Bump integrator, Profilometer etc. Among them Bump Integrator is quite simple and less time consuming in case of long road sections. A case study is conducted on low volume roads in West District in Tripura to determine roughness index (RI) using Bump Integrator at the standard speed of 32 km/h. But it becomes too tough to maintain the requisite standard speed throughout the road section. The speed of Bump Integrator (BI) has to lower or higher in some distinctive situations. So, it becomes necessary to convert these roughness index values of other speeds to the standard speed of 32 km/h. This paper highlights on that roughness index conversional model. Using SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences) software a generalized equation is derived among the RI value at standard speed of 32 km/h and RI value at other speed conditions.Item Intelligent traffic control system at intersection: Case study(AIKTC, 2021-05) Kazi, Tehsin A.; Shaikh, Mohamed Ishaque Rafiq (18DCE15); Qureshi, Mohammed Usama (17CE45); Shaikh, Salah Raisuddin (18DCE16); Chougule, SaifAli Shabbir (18DCE03)Traffic jam and accidents are one of the major problems in a densely populated cities, whereas population and number of running vehicles are much more than the road capacity. Due to traffic jam a substantial portion of working hours have to be left on streets which indirectly put adverse impact on economy and unavoidable road accident which results loss of lives. As the number of road users constantly increases, and resources provided by current infrastructures are limited. Traffic control system has become a very important issue. The main objective of this study is to reduce the accidents at the cross junction point. For doing this a microcontrolleror barricade is used with the help of sensor based technology which will make the drivers bound to follow the traffic rules by controlling traffic system that brings the result of decreasing the rate of accident, controlling crowd, lowering the tendency of road blocking etc. This approach can be applied in cross road junction.Item Affordable housing using geographical information system(AIKTC, 2021-05) Parkar, Fauwaz; Khan, Ibrahim (18DCE06); Kokate, AbdulHadi (18DCE07); Asil, Rais (18DCE11); Shaikh, Sameer (18DCE17)Affordable housing is a problem that many countries are taking stock of, world over. In India, the problem is much more stark with an estimated shortage of around 18 million houses, with 99% of this in the economically weaker sections of society. This paper sets out the definitions of affordable housing in India and across the world; the issues with the various definitions of affordable housing; the institutions and agencies responsible for formulating and implementing affordable housing policies in the state; the opportunites and challenges in affordable housing as well as a discussion on learnings from international experience in this sector. The Government of India (GOI) had estimated a shortage of more than 18.78 million homes at the beginning of 2012, of which 95% were in the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) and LIG (Low Income Group) segments. Further, the country’s total urban housing shortage is projected to be about 30 million by 2022. The Indian Government currently faces an uphill task of providing for more than 2 crore dwellings by the year 2022, which translated to almost 3 million units per year to fulfill its electoral promise of ‘Housing for All by 2022’. To achieve this daunting target the government has taken various initiatives to make the affordable housing segment lucrative both for the private developers and the homebuyers. This research paper aims at assessing the impact of the government initiatives on both the parties, i.e., the private developers and the homebuyers and tries to encapsulate their views on the government policies to boost the segment. Affordable housing refers to delivering cost-effective dwelling units for those families whose income is below the median household income of the society. It is a crucial issue especially in developing nations where a majority of the population is not able to purchase houses at the market price. In the present scenario of complex, expensive and high-quality projects, profit margins have shrunk due to tough competition between developers. Hence for providing affordable housing solutions it becomes imperative to make best utilization of resources by employing efficient technologies and optimization techniques.Currently, a major drawback of the construction industry is lack of proper data flow and its management. Data is managed either on physically maintained drawing sheets or computer aided drawing and drafting tools, due to which various construction parties like the architect, the contractor, the structural engineer, the MEP, etc. Work on different platforms with their individual expertise. Hence, often the projects are impacted due clashes in members of the structural, non-structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and other service utility elements. Moreover, if any change is envisaged by a party, it needs to bring to the notice of all other concerned parties and all need to rectify their individual drawing plans, sections and elevations, which leads to loss of time or rework.One challenge that many projects face is the escalated construction costs. This is due to materials, equipment and other resources being procured and employed according to individual project needs, availability and expertise. Also, contractors invest a lot of their resources in construction of common utilities, which are piecemeal, and would otherwise be taken together with other projects. This is due to lack of data available with municipality and urban local bodies, let alone the contractors. Many activities are duplicated for different projects due lack of synchronization. Thus, if a group projects are brought on a common geographical platform where their spatial and non-spatial requirements can be serviced, it will lead to considerable saving for all the parties involved. Geographical Information System (GIS) is one such tool which can be used as it has the ability to create, store , manipulate and analyze.Item Urban issues and mitigation measures: Case of developed cities(AIKTC, 2021-05) Dasgupta, Rohan; Jahagirdar, Sayyeda Zara; Shaikh, Faez Ahmed Mushtaq Ahmed (18DCE04); Shaikh, Akbar Mohammed Saeed (17CE50); Yelukar, Ahmed Mohammed Kasim (17CE61); Nakade, Makhdoom Abdulaziz (18DCE09)URBAN POPULATION has been sharply growing since last several decades, and the rate of growth has been steadily increasing due to various factors such as economic reasons. In the future, not only the population in cities but also the number and size of cities are expected to grow. This profound growth in urbanization is imposing several serious problems on human and earth, such as pollution, deforestation and food scarcity. In our project, to learn and understand about such problems, we have selected a few cities from different parts of the world and assessed them on a wide spectrum of various parameters ranging from land use to transportation to architecture to environment and sustainability. Based on this research, we have selected a few urban problems, such as lack of open spaces, for further analysis. Then, we have studied about some cities which have successfully tackled these problems. Finally, we have presented a comparison of the selected cities highlighting the similarities and differences between them in a tabular format.Item Preventive techniques for water logging between Sewri to Tilak nagar station(AIKTC, 2021-05) Shah, Dhaval; Ansari, Mohd Rehan (18DCE01); Rasalkar, Ammara Muzaffar (17CE07); Shaikh, Asad Asgar (18DCE12); Shaikh, Faizan Ahmed (18DCE13)In this project we have discussed about the problem arises on railway track due to submerging of water. This water gets choked up due to having no allowance of proper flow through pipeline available at the side of the railway track .As we done survey on the railway track we saw that there is no proper maintenance done for the drainage system at side of railway track due to which the water gets submerged on the railway causing problem. There are also some pictures showing in our project book about the drainage system conditions. This research focuses on the rainfall induced flooding that it is caused by high intensity storm, rainfall and runoff in the city area that is inundated due to lack of proper drainage system and inefficient management. It ascertains the water logging problem, its cause and its effects on the environment of the city from the perception of authorities of different organizations and people living in different wards of Kurla Corporation. A field survey has been conducted during 2008 in Kurla Corporation. This water logging becomes a burden for the inhabitants of Kurla and creating adverse social, physical, economic and environmental impacts. Disruption of traffic movement and normal life, damage of structures and infrastructure, destruction of vegetation and aquatic habitats and loss of income potentials are the encountered effects of water logging on city life. The storm water becomes polluted as it mixes with solid waste, clinical waste, silt, contaminants, domestic wastes and other human activities that increase the water born diseases.Item Treatment and recycling of greywater in AIKTC(AIKTC, 2021-05) Nalband, Irfan; Shaikh, Ayeesha Mohammed Shafi (17CES01); Mishra, Purnanki Shailendra (17CE04); Naik, Janhavi Vikas (17CE05); Golandaz, Nashra Afzal (17CE06)Safe and sufficient quantity of water is important for a healthy growth of citizenry. The gap between water demand and current water supply is increasing day by day. Proper sanitation, especially decentralized approach, can solve the matter of water system and wastewater management by reuse of greywater. Typically, from an institution, greywater (GW) flow is around 65 % of the total wastewater flow. The light greywater accounts for about 50% of the total GW. Therefore, GW has a high potential for recycling and reuse. The aim of this project is to show the current state of the art in GW treatment and to determine the further scope of research. Treatment systems with different treatment processes are discussed in detail with regard to the efficiency of pollutant removal, sewage concentrations and standards for reuse. Treated greywater can be used for non-potable purposes such as irrigation, toilet flushing, car washing and dust control as well as for recharging aquifers.Item Planning and scheduling of green residential building(AIKTC, 2021-05) Mahajan, Girish; Shinde, Aditya Ramchandra (17CE59); Pujari, Sourabh Vithal (17CE42); Ranjith, Neelan (17CE46); Sivalingam, Devraj (17CE60)This project work deals with the planning and scheduling of a (G+4) green residential building which is located in city area. In this project we have tried to provide all basic as well as modern amenities in residential green building which provides comfort and healthy environment. We are aiming to reduce the environmental impact, water consumption, maintenance cost and make the residential building energy efficient. For achieving this we are going to build rain water harvesting tank and provide solar panels. Also we are trying to make this building cost efficient & energy efficient. Realizing the situation about huge energy & water consumption, we need to use energy to its fullest & water sources in premises of building itself so that occupants need not to depend upon external sources which are not affordable. For achieving more accuracy, we are using Civil engineering software like AutoCAD for planning the green building. We have gone through the core principles of planning and building byelaws which helped us in proper preparations of design of green residential building. Further Scheduling of activities is to be done manually. As we know now a days building sector alone represents 35% energy consumption realizing the situation the need is to adopt a sustainable green building approach, which is the ultimate solution to reduce the energy demand of the building. Over usage of conventional material, not only harms the environment but also affects the natural resources hence we are proposing to use natural cost effective materials and some advanced techniques like rainwater harvesting and solar system to maintain the needs of environment and economy.

We will be doing the crushing of the samples that is the usual destructive test to determine the compressive strength.Item Effect of environment on the strength and shrinkage of concrete(AIKTC, 2021-05) Shaikh, Wasim; Qadri, Sayyed Altamash (17CE43); Kazi, Qais Bashir (17CE44); Khamkar, Naveed Naushad (17CE19); Shaikh, Mohammed Tauseef (17CE54)The most important constituent of any structure is concrete. It is widely used in every construction project because of its physical and chemical properties. Concrete has a long-life span but everything deteriorate with time and the main reason of deterioration of concrete structure around the world is the weathering effect or we can say the effect of environment. Our environment consists of lot of different constituents. These constituents place a major role in the deterioration and destruction of the structure. The main reason for the destruction of the structure is the decrement in the strength of the concrete because of various different environment agents such as pH, temperature and the shrinkage due to the various conditions. In this paper we are going to study and analyze the effect of different environmental condition on the strength and shrinkage of concrete. This will help us to understand more about the behavior of concrete even though the exact behavior of concrete cannot be determined accurately. By this data the estimation of strength will be predicted more accurately.Item Floating concrete using foaming agents(AIKTC, 2021-05) Jahagirdar, Sayyeda Zara; Pathan, Salman Abdul Razzak (17CE40); Khan, Shahnawaz Nafees (17CE27); Karel, Saif Ali Tayyab Ali (17CE47); Mirkar, Ateekulrehman Mubarak (18DCE08)The present day world is witnessing construction of very challenging and difficult civil engineering structures. Researchers all over the world are attempting to develop low density or lightweight concrete by using different admixtures in concrete up to certain proportions. The floating concrete is one of the concrete in which floats on water. Hence we know that the density of water is 1000 kg/cum. we supposed to be create a floating concrete it should have density of concrete lesser than density of water. This study deals with the development of Floating concrete by using lightweight aggregate (Pumice stone) and Aluminum powder as an air entraining agent. Floating concrete is made by introducing air or gas into concrete slurry, so that when the mix sets and hardens, uniform cellular structure is formed. We mix fine powder of Aluminum to the slurry and it reacts with the calcium hydroxide present in it thus producing hydrogen gas. This hydrogen gas when contained in the slurry mix gives the cellular structure and thus makes the concrete lighter than the conventional concrete. Pumice stone is a lightweight aggregate of low specific gravity. It is a highly porous material with a high water absorption percentage. In this we do not use the conventional aggregate and replace it by the pumice stone. Pumice is the specimen of highly Porous rocks having density approximately 500-600 Kg/m3. Pumice is produced when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from volcano. The unusual foamy configuration of pumice happens because of simultaneous rapid cooling & rapid depressurization. Pumice has an average porosity of 60-80% and initially floats on water.
