Item type:Publication, Incorporation of Steel Fibers to Enhance Performance of Sustainable Concrete Made with Waste Brick Aggregates: Experimental and Regression-Based Approaches(2023-11-01) ;Yooprasertchai, Ekkachai ;Bahrami, Alireza; ;Hussain, QudeerEjaz, AliEach year, an enormous amount of construction waste is produced worldwide. The reuse of construction waste in construction works is a sustainable solution. The present research work utilized recycled brick aggregates in the production of concrete. The resulting concrete exhibited substandard splitting tensile, flexural, and compressive properties. Steel fibers were used to improve these substandard properties of recycled brick aggregate concrete. The volume fractions of 1%, 2%, and 3% for steel fibers were mixed in concrete, whereas recycled brick aggregates were obtained from solid fired-clay bricks, hollow fired-clay bricks, and cement–clay interlocking bricks. The compressive strength was enhanced by up to 35.53% and 66.67% for natural and recycled brick aggregate concrete, respectively. Strengthened flexural specimens demonstrated up to 8765.69% increase in the energy dissipation. Specimens strengthened with steel fibers showed substantially improved splitting tensile, flexural, and compressive responses. Separate equations were proposed to predict the peak compressive strength, strain at peak compressive strength, elastic modulus, and post-peak modulus of recycled brick aggregate concrete. The proposed regression equations were utilized in combination with an existing compressive stress–strain model. A close agreement was observed between experimental and predicted compressive stress–strain curves of recycled brick aggregate concrete. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimal multi-path energy-aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks(2012-10-02) ;Tanessakulwattana, Sarayoot; ;Chakraborty, GoutamNaik, SagarA large portion of energy-aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks are cluster-based. In cluster based approaches, power of the cluster head (CH) nodes are drained more rapidly compared to other member nodes. Dynamic CH approach could partially alleviate this problem. But even with dynamic CH approach, energy is not uniformly dissipated among all nodes. In this paper, we propose a new energy-aware routing protocol where the communication protocol is such that, even when the clusters are fixed, power dissipation is same over all nodes (except CHs). Every node co-operates with each other to carry the payload to the CH so as the power dissipation is uniform. Therefore reconfiguration of cluster is not necessary, thereby saving a huge signalling cost and interruption in service. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol has longer node lifetime and better distribution of energy dissipation than the original LEACH protocol. © 2012 IEEE.1
