Abstract: Geopolymer is a novel binding material produced from the reaction of fly ash with an alkaline activator liquid; ensure durability and environmental sustainability and is emerging greener alternative to Ordinary Portland cement in the construction field. In this research, the influence of various parameters on the consistency and setting times of low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer cement under varied heat curing temperature were investigated. Systematic trials were carried to optimise the normal consistency and setting times over a number of parameters. The consistency of the geopolymer cement does not show any variation when mixed with different combinations of alkaline activator solution; whereas the setting times were observed to be dependent on the concentration of NaOH solution, ratio of alkaline activator liquid and variation in temperature. The test results revealed that the normal consistency of the fly ash-based geopolymer paste is found to be at 28% of alkaline activator solution for all the selected mixtures. Wherein, increase in concentration of NaOH solution increases setting times; increase in alkaline liquid ratio decreases setting times up to certain limits viz; increase in alkaline liquid ratio from 1.5 to 2.0, decreases setting times; further increase in alkaline liquid ratio from 2.0 to 2.5, increases setting times. The setting times were observed as decreased when the alkaline liquid ratio increased from to 2.5 to 3.0.

ABHISHEK SHARMA AND K.K. PATHAK  National Institute of Technical Teachers’ Training and Research, Bhopal (M.P.), India Email: abhishek08887@gmail.com Abstract: Many project suffers time and cost overruns due to improper planning, scheduling and execution works that results in several issues like delay in providing facilities, development, reduction in quality of construction and making the project more expensive. A little consideration shows that the time required to complete the project is inversely proportional to the supply of manpower. As the manpower is increased, the completion time of the project is decreased and on the other hand if the manpower is decreased, the completion time of the project is increased. The present study deals with the manpower planning, scheduling and tracking of “Construction of a Residential Block at Mahadev Parisar, Bhopal”, a six storied (G+6) building project whose construction is in progress at Shivaji Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.

SHEENA ANGRA, SACHIN AHUJA  Ph.D Scholar, Chitkara University, India Associate Director, CURIN, Chitkara University, India E-mail: sheena.angra@chitkara.edu.in, sachin.ahuja@chitkara.edu.in Abstract: Data mining offers a new advance to data analysis using techniques based on machine learning, together with the conventional methods collectively known as educational data mining (EDM). Educational Data Mining has turned up as an interesting and useful research area for finding methods to improve quality of education and to identify various patterns in educational settings. It is useful in extracting information of students, teachers, courses, administrators from educational institutes such as schools/ colleges/universities and helps to suggest interesting learning experiences to various stakeholders. This paper focuses on the applications of data mining in the field of education and implementation of three widely used data mining techniques using Rapid Miner on the data coll...

M Sh saleh* , A A El-Betar, A M El-Assal  Mechanical Engineering Department, Benha Faculty of Engineering, Benha University AL Qalyubiya, Egypt *Email: Mohamed.saleh@bhit.bu.edu.eg Abstract: In this paper, a review of past and recent developments in the wind turbine drive train is being studied. The objective is to review some of the basic approaches of drive train configuration in wind turbines and to identify drive train models including the modeling and simulation results of these models. In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to modeling, design, and control of wind turbine including drive train .The number of publications on computational strategies (multibody dynamics) are widely used for design and simulation of wind turbines components has been steadily increasing. Lists and reviews many contributes of design and simulation method are given in survey papers [1], [2]. DOI: 10.15415/jotitt.2014.22009 LINK:   http://dspace.chitkara.edu.in/jspui/b...
