The handmade tiles are manufactured in Athangudi, Sivagangai district. We observed that these tiles are reducing foot pain and appearing aesthetic look. But one disadvantage was that these Athangudi tiles were getting easily cracked. We studied that these tiles are getting cracks. Due to its lesser resistance. It shows some cracks on surface of tiles after setting and hardening process. In this project, we gave solution to rectify the problem for this purpose we adding the zirconium di oxide to cement paste at the time of manufacturing process. Because the zirconium di oxide possess high crack resistance property in these tiles. The field test (water penetration test), abrasion test, water absorption test and acid resistance test were conducted on Athangudi tiles with zirconium di oxide and without zirconium di oxide. Then the test result was compared between normal tiles and zirconium di oxide used tiles. Hence we conclude that zirconium di oxide used tiles are somewhat better than normal Athangudi tiles from the above result. We will conduct more tests and come with the conclusion that zirconium di oxide used tiles having better cracking resistance in future.

The utilization of post-consumer papers in the production of new paper products is increasing all over the world in recent years. Recycling of photocopier paper is a major problem due to difficulty in removal of non-impact ink. Enzymes offer potential advantages in ecofriendly deinking of recovered paper. In this study the deinking of photocopier paper was examined using chemicals and a commercial cellulase enzyme. Parameters of deinking experiments were optimized for hydrapulping. The ink was removed by flotation and washing processes. Then these parameters were compared in terms of ink removal ability of the process, as well as optical and strength properties of the deinked paper. The application of enzymatic deinking improved ink removal efficiency by 24.6% and freeness by 21.6% with a reduction in drainage time of 11.5% in comparison to those obtained with chemical deinking. The physical properties, namely burst index and tensile index, were observed to improve by 15.3% and 2.7%, respectively and brightness and tear index decreased by 2.1% and 21.9%, respectively. Results of deinking efficiency of photocopier paper showed that the enzyme used in the present work performed better than the conventional chemicals used for deinking.

Geopolymer concrete plays a major role in concrete industry by replacing cement and using the industrial wastes. In this study, the cement is completely replaced by GGBS and strength properties are analyzed. An M30 mix design is prepared and the specimens are cast and tested. For this, sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate are used as activator and its ratio is fixed as 1:2.5. Sodium hydroxide of 12 molarity, 550kg/m3 of GGBS is used in the study. Admixture La Hypercrete S25 (HTS code 38244090) is added in the mix by 1% of weight of GGBS to obtain the required workability. For compression study, cubes in 100 mm size are cast. Cylinders with 100mm dia and 200mm height are tested for splitting tensile strength and beam specimens of 500mm long and 100mm cross sections were cast for determining the flexure behaviour. The beams are subjected to ambient curing and tested at 3, 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. The test result shows that there is a gradual increment in all the strengths from 3 to 56 days and it proves that geopolymer concrete with GGBS cured at ambient temperature performs well in the strength properties.

VVOIP is an extended application from VOIP, and just because of the video function VVOIP is more complicated than VOIP, for video processing, video capturing, video codec and video transmission need more CPU processing power and net bandwidth. In this paper, a hardware codec solution is proposed to improve the performance of the VVOIP application based on Android OS. Video hardware codec can help decrease the load of mobile devices CPU, leaving users enjoying more applications at the same time. The hardware-codec VVOIPs performance of VGA-size is 15%-20% better than the unimproved one through the test result.

Abstract The high mechanical properties of the Al-Li-X alloys contribute to their increasingly broad application in aeronautics, as an alternative for the aluminium alloys, which have been used so far. The aluminium-lithium alloys have a lower specific gravity, a higher nucleation and crack spread resistance, a higher Young’s module and they characterize in a high crack resistance at lower temperatures. The aim of the research planned in this work was to design an aluminium alloy with a content of lithium and other alloy elements. The research included the creation of a laboratorial melt, the microstructure analysis with the use of light microscopy, the application of X-ray methods to identify the phases existing in the alloy, and the microhardness test.

The deterioration of concrete durability seriously affects utilization and lifespan of concrete constructions. This paper presented a novel method to improve concrete durability by synthesizing Super-absorbent Resins (SAR) in micro-cracks or capillary-pores of concrete, i.e., the synthesized SAR swell after absorbing water, fill micro-cracks or capillary-pores and prevent water penetration into concrete. The main performance of impermeability, freeze resistance and sulfate resistance related to concrete durability were studied. The results show that the impermeability, freeze resistance and sulfate corrosion resistance of cement mortar handled by SAR are obviously better than cement mortar unhandled by SAR.

Natural pozzolan is being widely used as cement replacement. Despite the economic, ecological, and technical benefits of its adding, it is often associated with shortcomings such as the need of moist-curing for longer time and a lower early strength. This study is an attempt to investigate the effect of adding limestone filler on the compressive strength and durability of mortars/concrete containing scoria. Sixteen types of binders with different replacement levels of scoria (0, 10, 20, and 30%) and limestone (0, 5, 10, and 15%) were prepared. The development of the compressive strength of mortar/concrete specimens was investigated after 2, 7, 28, and 90 days’ curing. In addition, the acid resistance of the 28 days’ cured mortars was evaluated after 90 days’ exposure to 5% H2SO4. Concrete permeability was also evaluated after 2, 7, 28, and 90 days’ curing. Test results revealed that there was an increase in the early-age compressive strength and a decrease in water penetration depths with adding limestone filler. Contrary to expectation, the best acid resistance to 5% H2SO4 solution was noted in the mortars containing 15% limestone. Based on the results obtained, an empirical equation was derived to predict the compressive strength of mortars.
