As per the 2011 census, 31.3 per cent of the country is urbanized, resulting in a change in the landscape of cities and changes in land use, causing the transition from a rural to a more urban society. As urbanization increases, it reflects the loss of vegetation, agricultural land, open space, etc. These changes in the landscape pattern significantly impact the existing ecology, like water networks and other ecosystems. An ecological layer is embedded in the urban area to support all the ecosystem services needed for the cities. This paper explores various ways to analyze the change in the landscape across different GI elements and its impact on the surrounding context in Bangalore city. GI elements in this paper refer to the town’s Green Blue network like Nala and lakes and green buffer spaces along the lakes and nala. Change in the landscape is natural and inevitable. In the scenario of forced urbanization or unplanned growth, the shift in landscape patterns may adversely affect the GI elements and surrounding spaces. In the era of ever-growing cities and Globalization, it is crucial to study the diversity of GI elements and associated urban spaces to protect the characteristics of these elements and spaces. Bangalore has many essential, unique GI elements that are getting lost in urbanization.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979808","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}

One hundred thirteen national folk settlements in the Shaanxi province of China were picked as the research objects in the paper. The spatial distribution characteristics for the selected national folk settlements located in the Shaanxi province of China were carried out to reveal the interconnection between the placement of folk settlements and the natural environment, social economy, history and culture, river distribution, and so forth by using the image registration technology of arcgis. The study found: There are apparent regional variances in the geographic arrangement of national folk settlements in Shaanxi, and two sizeable high-density agglomeration areas have been formed. There are differences in the preservation and protection of national folk settlements in different altitudes, and there are more national folk settlements in low-altitude areas. The existing national folk settlements are primarily distributed along the riverbanks or in the developed water system areas, closely related to production and life. Regional economic development and the protection of national folk settlements are not contradictory in theory, and localities should find suitable paths to protect national folk settlements.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"46 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980075","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}

Concrete manufacturing involves multi-aggregate, cement, water and granule aggregates. The quality of the materials employed is identified by conducting preliminary tests like fineness, initial setting schedule, particular gravity, plasticity, etc. Usually, as the grade surpasses, Super Plasticizers (SP) is generally mixed with the concrete for higher strength. An appropriate compaction process is necessary to improve conventional concrete’s stability. Moreover, in some instances, there are difficulties in the compaction process, leading to the impossibility of attaining full strength. Hence, a novel category of concrete called Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) prevents the abovementioned issue and does not require compaction. The SCC provides better compression and flowability, mainly when compactness is difficult. Besides, the addition of fibre-reinforced concrete improves the integrity of concrete. Similarly, the addition of rubber along with the SCC forms the Self Compacted Rubberized Concrete (SCRC), and the mixing of steel fibres or Polypropylene (PP) forms the Fibre Reinforced SCRC (FRSCRC). However, when subjected to elevated temperature, the concrete structures’ durability, elastic modulus, volume deformation and strength considerably decrease. Therefore, various materials are combined with the FRSCC to increase the concrete’s strength. In this paper, an analogization is carried out amid the different types of FRSCCs concerning elevated temperature to identify the optimal one.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135980092","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}

This study aims to identify the optimal replacement percentage that minimizes deflection compared to conventional concrete, consequently enhancing structural performance. This article presents the results of an experimental investigation into the impact of Ceramic Waste Powder (CWP) on concrete’s mechanical properties and performance. The study assessed concrete specimens’ compressive strength, split tensile strength, and deflection behaviour with varying CWP replacement percentages. The results demonstrated that adding CWP had a negligible impact on concrete’s compressive and divided tensile forces. However, the deflection behaviour of the concrete beams with 10% CWP replacement was superior to that of the conventional beams. This indicates that the incorporation of CWP into concrete can enhance structural performance. Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests demonstrate that incorporating 10% CWP into concrete preserves the structure’s integrity, presenting CWP as an environmentally friendly production alternative. The findings show the viability of CWP as an option for sustainable waste management in the construction industry. To achieve a balance between improved deflection behaviour and acceptable strength characteristics in concrete structures, a 10% CWP replacement level is recommended. This research contributes to understanding the advantages and limitations of CWP in concrete, thereby providing valuable insights for future sustainable construction practices.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"15 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979655","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}

Given the limited funding available to state and federal governments for infrastructure maintenance, a new approach to creating more resilient infrastructures is required. On a global scale, Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bars are gaining considerable attention for internal reinforcement in concrete structures. This paper uses experiment analysis to determine the mechanical behaviour of concrete with GFRP-reinforced beams. The proposed work can provide a superior building system with high sustainability, more durability, and suitable strength. Beginning cracking loads, maximum load capacities, load defect behaviour, load-strain curves and failure modes. Utilising ABAQUS, a numerical study of high-strength concrete beams is conducted. The proposed technique carried out the flexural beam test for GFRP, the Pull-out test for GFRP, and the tensile test for GFRP. As a result, this study compares the bond stress of the GFRP bar and HYSD bar; thereby, the proposed technique of GFRP attains lower strength than HYSD.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082407","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}

To improve the mechanical and durability qualities of High-Strength Self-Compacting Concrete (HSSCC), this study examines the application of nano minerals as a partial substitution for cement. Fly ash, Silica Fume, Phosphogypsum, and Alccofine are examples of nanomineral admixtures used to improve concrete performance while reducing the environmental impact of regular cement. The experimental program encompasses a series of laboratory tests to assess the fresh concrete and mechanical attributes of the nano-modified HSSCC. Concrete samples curing for seven, fourteen and twenty-eight days will be utilized for these strength tests. The RCPT test, which gauges chloride ion penetration in concrete for twenty-eight, fifty-six and ninety days of curing, is conducted similarly. Tests like Flowability, L\u0002Box, V-Funnel, J ring and V funnel at T5 minutes are among the tests on freshly built concrete. These tests are helpful for determining how well new concrete flows, passes over obstacles and resists segregation. The outcomes show that utilizing nanomineral admixtures dramatically improves the performance of HSSCC. Compressive strength and durability are notably increased, surpassing conventional HSSCC mixes, and the modulus of elasticity shows improvement, reflecting enhanced stiffness, durability and structural integrity.","PeriodicalId":496827,"journal":{"name":"SSRG international journal of civil engineering","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135082088","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}
