Building dams on rivers have severe impacts on livelihood of the indigenous people, altering the river ecosystems and wildlife habitats. The present study, therefore, focuses mainly on the HEPs in river Satluj and its tributaries in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. On the perception survey frequent natural hazards and their resultant tangible and non tangible loss on local communities due to construction of hydropower projects and its surrounding has been analyzed. Further, preventive measures to mitigate the adverse impacts have been suggested to strengthen these projects in eco-friendly manner in the highly fragile mountain ecosystem. The impacts due to hydropower development, especially reservoir and dams are always space extensive which covers catchment area of upstream, downstream and on site surrounding area of plants. Generally, HEPs in Kinnaur district have been given all attention regarding its technical design, economical issues and very least or almost negligible attention on social and environmental factors. The present study is the need of hour to protect rich tribal culture and very high earthquake sensitive zone (IV& V) of Kinnaur district. Community, Natural Hazards, Preventive Measures, Social and Environmental Impacts and Sensitive Zone.","PeriodicalId":344962,"journal":{"name":"International journal of Earth Sciences and Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116895212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of road surfacing is better than asphalt and rigid concrete pavements. These are made as small elements from plain cement concrete with zero slumps. An attempt has been made to replace OPC by fly ash for manufacture of paver blocks of M35 grade with thickness 60mm and 80mm. Fly ash is a byproduct of thermal power plant which is a waste material. OPC has been replaced by fly ash in varying proportions of 0%, 20%, 30% and 40%. This paper presents the study of compressive strength and flexural strength of paver blocks and it was found that 30% of OPC replacement by fly ash is optimum.","PeriodicalId":344962,"journal":{"name":"International journal of Earth Sciences and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132527060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
