Experimental Study on Light Weight Concrete Block with Granulated Corn Cob

experimental studies on gfrp repaired hollow-block concrete sections

this study evaluates two different types of techniques for concrete hollow-block sections reinforced with traditional steel rebars and wire meshes, and compares their structural behaviour to that of an ordinary reinforced concrete beam section. the comparisons are based on the responses both before and after they were repaired with glass fibre reinforced polymers (gfrp). the specimens were subj...

Study of Energy Absorption in Automobile Light Weight Composites Subjected to Impact: Numerical-Experimental

Automobile light weight structural composites are subjected to the various loadings in their service lives. Honeycombs are increasingly used as core structures in automobile light weight structures as energy absorbers. In this paper the energy absorption of honeycomb panels under impact of cylindrical projectile is numerically and experimentally studied. The effect of the core materials and cro...

Experimental Study on TGA, XRD and SEM Analysis of Concrete with Ultra-fine Slag (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The performances of cementitious materials as well as the efficiency of construction are adversely affected at high temperatures. Previous studies have already demonstrated that ultra-fine (alccofine) material accelerates the hydration of cement particles and subsequently improves the mechanical and durability properties of the concrete at normal temperature. Moreover, at higher temperatures th...

BEST - 1 : A Light Weight Block Cipher

The demand for applications involving Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) or RFID systems is increasing. The sensor in a WSN and RFID tag/reader in a RFID system are called resource constrained devices because these devices have limited processing power, memory size and energy supply. The information transmitted among these low resource devices must be protected from unauthorized access using specifi...
