Abstract: This paper focused on the effect of the addition of polyethylenes on the behaviour of bituminous concretes. A methodology for the formulation and mechanical characterization of asphalt concrete modified by using the addition of recycled wastes plastics (mineral drink preservation bottles) were investigated. Different binder content was performed in order to determine the optimal value with the Marshall test. Afterwards, Thus, for a given granular composition, we have for a given granular composition, varied the binder content in order to determine the content giving the optimal performance in the Marshall test. With this binder content, we varied the polyethylene......

Abstract: Automobiles frequently utilize rack and pinion steering because of its ease of use, portability, and effectiveness in converting rotational motion into linear motion for accurate steering control. In order to assess a rack and pinion steering system's performance under various loading scenarios, this study focuses on structural modeling and stress analysis. Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to ascertain the stress distribution, deformation, and factor of safety once a 3D model of the mechanism is created using CAD software. To guarantee the system's dependability.....

Abstract: With the population increase necessitates the construction of multi-storey buildings on sloping terrain. Due to the lack of plain land in hilly regions, most of the structures are built on the slopes of hills with irregular structural layouts and varying foundation levels. Because of their unbalanced vertical and horizontal layouts, structures in mountainous regions are more susceptible to earthquake loads. In most situations, when analyzing and designing structures, the response of soil-structure interaction (SSI) is neglected. in present work the seismic....

Abstract: This project endeavors to tackle the pressing public health and safety concerns stemming from road traffic accidents. A primary objective of this research is to pinpoint and scrutinize high-risk locations, colloquially referred to as blackspots. These blackspots are designated as 500-meter stretches of road that have witnessed an alarming number of accidents involving serious injuries or fatalities over the past three calendar years. To identify blackspot locations, this project employs the Weighted Severity Index (WSI) method. This systematic approach enables us to.......

Abstract: This paper investigates the effectiveness of Electro-Hydro-Dynamic (EHD) techniques in enhancing heat transfer performance in various thermal systems. EHD methods exploit the interaction between electric fields and fluid dynamics to improve convective heat transfer, reduce thermal boundary layer thickness, and enhance fluid mixing and turbulence. The study demonstrates that applying electric fields to fluids can significantly increase heat transfer rates without requiring substantial mechanical energy input. Experimental results show that the heat transfer coefficient improves dramatically as voltage increases, increasing overall system efficiency. The findings indicate that EHD techniques can potentially overcome limitations in traditional heat transfer methods, offering an energy-efficient alternative for electronics cooling, automotive, HVAC, aerospace, and power generation industries.......

Abstract: Black Cotton Soils are known for their high swelling and shrinkage potential due to moisture fluctuations, resulting in severe volumetric changes. These behaviours lead to excessive settlement and structural instability, posing significant challenges in construction over such soils. Black cotton soils need to be improved to make them suitable for construction. Soil stabilization is the process employed to improve these soils' characteristics is called soil stabilization. Chemical stabilization, which entails adding chemicals to increase the soil's strength........

Abstract: The improvement of soil strength is a critical aspect of geotechnical engineering, especially for weak or problematic soils. This study investigates the potential of natural fiber reinforcement—specifically sisal fibers—in enhancing the strength characteristics of cement-stabilized soil. An experimental program was conducted wherein unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were performed on soil specimens reinforced with varying sisal fiber contents (0.4% and 0.8% by weight), fiber lengths (2.5 mm, 5 mm, and 10 mm), and cement contents (4%). The........
