Corrosion of reinforcement in the concrete is the main reason in concrete deterioration. This effect may further increase and severity of damage may increase. The need of the present study is to have a time saving and accurate methods to analyse the structural health of the infrastructure and also to suggest preventive measures to increase the service life of the structure.

So, the need for establishing a systematic risk assessment for construction projects has increased more than ever before with the additional fact that the construction projects are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic. The aim of this paper is to provide a risk assessment methodology that provides a decision support tool, directed for the commercial construction projects. By the study of the risk registers of commercial construction projects, key risk factors category and their attributes which affects the project are identified based on the project objectives. The objective of this study is to perform risk assessment considering the project objectives and propose a risk index for the attributes which are identified, and rank them to prioritize the risk factors. The commonly identified factors from risk registers of various projects are subjected to survey and collected from project managers of an organization through mail or through personnel meeting. The survey questionnaire is designed to derive the relative importance of factors one over other by pair-wise comparison. By assigning a scale of values to rate the importance and by converting those to triangular fuzzy numbers, the fuzzified values are obtained. Those fuzzy numbers are aggregated, defuzzified and applied into analytic hierarchy process to obtain the priority vectors, by which ranking for the attributes is done. </em></span></span></p> <p class="western" style="margin-left: 1.27cm; margin-right: 1.27cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY"> </p> <p class="western" style="margin-left: 1.27cm; margin-right: 1.27cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Keywords: </strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em>Risk assessment, commercial construction projects, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, risk index</em></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Cite this Article</strong></span></span></p><p class="western" style="margin-left: 1.27cm; margin-right: 1.27cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%;" align="JUSTIFY"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sadhana C, Shanmugapriya S.

These plants release byproduct in major quantity which effects the environment. In this paper, an experimental work has been done on the conventional concrete with pond ash as replacement of fine aggregate. The grade of the concrete is M-40 and nine concrete mixes named as F1, F2, F3, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and G6 were prepared with different replacement ratios (10, 15 and 20 percent) of pond ash using alccofine 2.5 and 5 percent as replacement of cement. Each set of concrete mix comprised of 6 cubes, tested at the age of 7 and 28 days of curing period. it is concluded that optimum replacement of fine aggregate in M-40 is achieved at 15% pond ash using 5% alccofine.

Best performance is unachievable with poor productivity resulting in time over-run and consequently cost escalation of projects. Hence, productivity is of critical importance to the profitability of most construction projects and it is essential that attempts to be made to improve productivity. Any improvement in productivity cannot be achieved without understanding the factors that adversely affect productivity. The objective of this research, therefore, is to identify and rank factors perceived to influence productivity of construction projects in Indian context with respect to their relative importance and to determine the importance percentage of main factors and sub factors of productivity. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire survey was carried out targeting respondents from four distinct projects, namely, residential, commercial, infrastructure and industrial. The questionnaire comprised 39 sub factors, classified under the following 10 main factors: manpower, motivation, time, material/tools, leadership, supervision, project, safety, quality, and external. The findings show that, among the factors explored, the subsequent 10 are discerned to be the most significant factors influencing productivity: (1) Lack of availability of electricity, power and water at project site (2) Lack of labour experience (3) Frequent revisions and alterations in design, drawings and specifications (4) Rework due to field error committed by craftsmen (5) Working overtime (6) Material shortage at site (7) Increasing number of labors in the site, so as to accelerate work (8) Payment delay (9) Low quality of raw materials used for construction operations (10) Shortage of tools and equipment necessary to do the job on site. This research’s findings will provide better insights to construction practitioners into productivity issues in India and more effectively direct future efforts to achieve productivity improvement to enhance the performance of construction project.</span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Productivity, construction projects, relative importance, rank, importance percentage</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Darwin Princy J, Shanmugapriya S.

The first is the decision stage and other stages ending with the maintenance phase of these projects, which leads to increase in the length of the period of completion, and privacy enjoyed by construction projects and distinguishes them apart from the rest of the projects. This uncertainty appears in the uncertainty of control to achieve the objectives of the projects which are, the time of completion, the cost and quality of work, in addition to the safety of these projects professionally. This uncertainty can be overcome through analysing risk to these projects and then managing them and studying the results. Several studies have been made in this field, including this study. The aim of this research is to study the different types of risk and its impact on a variety of construction projects and then determine the most important risk in order to confront it by identifying its maximum and minimum index of importance; and so correctly using the project budget and not wasting it in facing of other risks with less importance; as well as study the most important procedures of response to these risks. The achievement of these aims was through the views of a number of experts in the construction industry in the field of risk management through questionnaire (exclusively) for the purpose of reaching a certain strategy in how to manage them correctly. One of the main conclusions reached by the research is that the two risks: lack of plans for the networks service passers through the site electrical such as a chart, telephone, water, etc. and differences between the required implementation specifications as a result of a misunderstanding of the drawings and specifications have the most important influence on construction projects, and put contractual conditions is the most appropriate procedure in response and confrontation risks.</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: center; line-height: normal;" align="center"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;" lang="EN-IN">Construction industry, analysis and risk management, uncertainty, risk index</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cite this Article </span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-language: AR-IQ; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Rasheed Entisar K.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"> Determination of the Priority in Risks Management of Construction Projects.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-language: AR-IQ; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> </span><em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Journal of Construction Engineering, Technology & Management</span></em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. 2017; 7(1): 45–54p.</span><sup></sup></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;" lang="EN-IN"><br /></span></em></p>Entisar K.

In some highly populated areas does not gather any natural ventilation and lightings inside the buildings. The main study of the project is how to get natural energy gains into the buildings. Ventilation and lighting plays a vital role not only in buildings but also psychology and comfort level of occupants using the building. Building without ventilation and lighting will be a bad design and also called as sick building. Natural lighting and ventilation is mandatory part of today’s design to save energy. It can also be called as heart of a building design. The main aim of our study is to give a conclusion for gathering natural ventilation and lighting inside the buildings.

GFRC is the widely used material in structures, over other materials to resolve the problems in concrete structures. They provide strength and stiffness to concrete beam. ANSYS has been utilized in the present work to the problem. Effect of thickness of the GFRC has been studied in the present paper by studying the deformation and strain generated. Four different sets have been modeled, all having the same outer dimensions. To change the thickness of GFRC concrete, beam dimensions have been reduced and results have been compared with the beam which is made of concrete only. Base beam dimensions are 250×450 mm<sup>2</sup> and length is 3000 mm. Three thicknesses of GFRC have been considered 2, 3 and 4 mm. From the results it has been found that beam with 4 mm thickness GFRC shows less deformation compared to the other beams, which indirectly means that GFRC beam has higher strength compared to simple concrete beam. Weight comparison of all the beams has also been carried out which represents that with 4 mm thickness, GFRC is lighter in weight compared to the others.</em></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="keywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Keywords: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Strenght, GFRC, Ansys, concrete beam</span></p><h1 style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; mso-list: none; tab-stops: .5in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-transform: uppercase;" lang="X-NONE">C</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="X-NONE">ite this<span style="text-transform: uppercase;"> </span>Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></strong></h1> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="keywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Pratap Dhakad, Rakesh Patel. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase;">GFRC </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Beam Thickness Analysis Using</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase;"> FEM.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-caps: small-caps;"> </span></span><em style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">Journal of Construction Engineering, Technology and Management</em><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">. 2017; 7(1): 22–29p.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>Pratap DhakadRakesh Patel

Building materials, technologies and building practices have evolved through ages signifying quality and reliability. It is widely known that housing and building sector represents the living standards of society. Some of the building materials namely stone, mud, thatch, leaves and timber are extensively used in construction of buildings. Energy in different forms is used in manufacturing and transportation of these natural materials for construction. Burnt bricks, lime, cement, steel, metal products, paints and PVC are the manufactured materials (using external energy) commonly used for construction industry. Extensive use of these materials can drain the energy resources and adversely affect the environment. It is difficult to meet the ever-growing demand for buildings by adopting only energy efficient materials and construction methods. The raw materials to produce simple, energy efficient, eco-friendly and sustainable building materials and techniques to satisfy the increasing demand for buildings and decrease the consumption of energy in buildings. For this purpose a study is considered.</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Energy, sustainable materials, alternative technologies, green buildings</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Cite this Article</strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Vijaya Bhaskar S, Nagendra Prasad K.

With creating competition between various private firms, quality control and quality assurance has grown to accomplish its significance in the construction industry. Quality administration has been inserted in as a part of the framework for quite a while now but still defects arise. This conflict arises due to difference in the management’s and the consumer’s perception of a quality product. This study has been carried out as an endeavor to understand if there really is any distinction or not. Just when this is seen accurately, can quality genuinely be judged? In other words, one should differentiate between the factual definition of quality and quality as a perception. The providers of services or goods that meet specifications achieve quality in fact. In other words, a product can be of high quality and yet it may not meet customer's needs and vice versa. Thus, a hypothesis testing using t-test has been carried out in this study to comprehend if there exist a difference in perception of people belonging to different age groups and educational backgrounds.</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Hypothesis testing, t-test, quality, client-contractor, relationships</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: 205.0pt; line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Ujjwal Prabhakar, Purnima Bajpai.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Understanding Quality in Construction. <em>Journal of Construction Engineering, Technology & Management</em>. 2016; 6(3): 70–74p.</span></p>Ujjwal PrabhakarPurnima Bajpai

Steel slag and fly ash are the two materials used in concrete. Most concrete produced nowadays includes one or multiple materials. That is why their properties are usually compared to each other by mix designers, needed to optimize concrete mixtures. In the present work, a number of tests were carried out to make comparative studies of mechanical properties of concrete mixes prepared by using ultra tech brand Portland cement, fly ash in 20, 25, 30 and 35% proportions of replacement, steel slag in 20, 25, 30 and 35% of replacement. The fine aggregate used is natural sand belongs to zone II as per IS 383-1982. The coarse aggregate used is of 20 mm size. The properties were studied for 150 days for compressive and flexural strength. </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 23.85pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; tab-stops: 2.0in;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Concrete, fly ash, steel slag</span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cite this Article </span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Patil RS.

In flood, the water level rises to an extent in which water starts spilling over the bank and spreading to the flood plains. The frequency and intensity of floods has intensified in the country over the years primarily due to encroachment of flood plains because of obvious advantages of water supply and irrigation. Flood causes extensive damage to infrastructure, the economy and devastation to human settlements. Heavy rains during the monsoon season lasting between June and September are a common peril hazard in North-East India. Usually 80 to 90 percent of the annual rain falls over most parts of the country, due to monsoon circulation cause severe floods in some of the Indian rivers due to cyclonic precipitation. Out of the total geographical area of 329 mha of India, more than 40 mha is flood prone. In the past three decades, about 481 natural disasters struck India in which 184 were flood disasters affecting millions of people and took over 4000 lives. According to the climate change reports from inter-governmental panel, warn that the climate change in the country will lead to an increase in frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration, and timing of extreme weather events. For preparing to minimize the flood damages, many techniques can be adopted in which construction of flood resisting houses is an important step to be worked on. Measures to design of flood resistant houses and some case are discussed and described in the present paper.</span></em></p><p class="icsmkeywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Mitigation techniques, floating house</span></em></p><p class="icsmtitle" style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-GB">Cite this Article</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN-GB"></span></strong></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Subhan Ahmad, Mohammad Kamil Khan, Mohd.

Cantilevered frames supporting formwork systems with no need for extending the false work along the height of the building have been recently designed in previous studies. However, the need to design such cantilevers in order to withstand dynamic loads has emerged. Within this study, modal analyses of two different designs of cantilevered false works are performed with varying spans and during the different stages of construction. The results are used to judge whether these temporary structures are expected to resonate due to dynamic loads such as winds and earthquakes or not. Furthermore, the behaviors of these structures were studied under an actual earthquake through performing a time-history analysis and the adjusted designs of the members due to the new load combination were performed. </span></em></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in;"><em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></em></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in;"><strong><em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Keywords:</span></em></strong><em><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Structural engineering, structural steel, construction engineering, structural dynamics, earthquake engineering</span></em></p><p class="Abstract" style="margin-top: 6.0pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; tab-stops: 193.95pt;"> </p><h1 style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; page-break-after: auto; mso-list: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-weight: normal;"> </span>Cite this Article</h1> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Mohamed Mohamed Salah El-Din Darwish, Ahmed Hatem Romaih, Sama Tarek Taha</span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></strong><em><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">et al</span></em><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> Analysis and Design of Cantilevered Steel False Work Systems Subjected to Earthquake Loads. <em>Journal of Construction Engineering, Technology and Management</em>. 2016; 6(3): 35–47p.</span></p>Mohamed Mohamed Salah El-Din DarwishAhmed Hatem RomaihSama Tarek TahaKhaled Nassar

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It can flow under its weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. The hardened concrete is dense, homogeneous and has the same engineering properties and durability as traditional vibrated concrete. An important improvement of health and safety is achieved through elimination of handling of vibrators and a substantial reduction of environmental noise loading on and around a site. The composition of SCC mixes includes substantial proportions of fine-grained inorganic materials, and this gives possibilities for utilization of mineral admixtures, which are currently waste products with no practical applications. The primary objective of this study is to make use of the optimum percentage of fly ash in addition to cement and vary the percentage of fine aggregate in terms of total aggregate and understand its effects on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The workability of SCC increased as the percentage of fine aggregate is increased. The study also intended to find the optimum mix design ratio for the M20 grade that satisfies both the fresh and hardened properties. Slump flow, V-funnel, L-flow and compressive strength tests were carried out to examine the performance of SCC. Then the filler slab specimens were cast in different sizes and tested for their flexural behaviour, and the results compared with the theoretical values.</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;"></span></em></p><p class="keywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><p class="Abstract"> </p><p class="keywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Keywords: </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Self-compacting concrete, filler slab, superplasticizer, flexural behaviour</span></p><p class="papertitle" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Cite this Article</span></strong></p><p class="keywords" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: .5in; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-left: .5in; text-indent: 0in;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Ramya G, Sundari S, Sukumar S.

It is mainly used for housing purposes in rural areas. Bamboo has high strength and low weight, and can be easily worked using simple tools. It is widely recognized as one of the most important non-timber forest resources due to the high socio-economic benefits from bamboo based products. It can replace rebar in certain concrete applications, used as pins in straw-bale construction, to create trusses and other structural members, as decorative elements and has even been used as plumbing. This paper presents the various studies that deal with the use of bamboo as a reinforcement in concrete structures.</em></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in; line-height: 115%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;"> </p><p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em><strong>Keywords:</strong></em></span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><em> Bamboo, concrete, tensile strength, compressive strength</em></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Cite this Article</strong></span></span></span></p><p style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="justify"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">Akshat Dimri, Gaurav Sharma, Anshul Sheokand.
