    Hi, sunlight is the best source of light and energy. So to use effectively, the placing of windows and other openings and reflective surfaces matters a lot.

    As a civil engineer, it’s our aim to maximize the comfort of the user and reduce the energy consumption for saving electricity.

    The design of the building should be like this the rays of sunlight it will be scattered from the wall and reflect and cover a maximum area of the house. There will be no direct sunlight on polar sites of the walls that are north facing and south-facing. Providing large Windows is a good option to maximize the use of natural sources of light.

    In the present scenario, translucent concrete is been used as concrete which transfers the light in various commercial buildings to reduce the use of artificial electricity. This is a great gift from nanotechnology.

    the position of lights inside the room must be at the middle of the wall and not at the corners so that lights spread 180 degrees.

    Asphalt Tile and Induction Heating :


    One of the most advantageous methods of quick repair of road pavement is Asphalt tile and induction heating.


    Brief introduction of Asphalt tile and induction heating technique for road repair :

    • In this system, Asphalt Tile is present which is composed of a bonding layer made up of polymer modified bitumen and steel fibres
    • The polymer-modified bitumen and steel fibres are heated using induction energy

    How to apply Asphalt tile and induction technique :

    • Whenever a pothole appears, then clean up at the surface
    • Fill tile in that pothole, so that it is bonded to the old payment by means of induction in energy.

    A speciality of asphalt tile and induction heating :

    • Asphalt tiles are used to fill potholes and bonded together using induction heating.
    • The shared strength of the bond is higher than the original material
    • The rutting resistance is 40 times higher than cold mix asphalt

    Hi,

    Ballast types depend upon the traffic and spacing and size of ties.

    The following are the materials used as a substitute for ballast :

    Ballast is a base for rails that are made up of stone used to hold the railway track on its position when loading from the railway’s impact on the railway track.

    • Now it is instead of stone a cement concrete ballast is used. It has a long life and High durability.
    • In ancient days, wood ballast was used.
    • Steel sections are also used as a ballast for railways tracks.

    Yes, correct.

    Sand can be replaced by Quarry dust without any problem.


    • Based on several references, I concluded that sand can be replaced by Quarry dust without highly compromising its durability property.
    • By the experimental investigation, 40% replacement of sand with Quarry dust shows maximum compressive strength and later on, it will decrease after increasing percentage of Quarry Dust in the sand.
    • Workability of concrete decreases as increasing the percentage of Quarry dust
    • Quarry dust is Waste. If we use quarry dust as a replacement of sand, then waste will ultimately reduce.
