For storage of large quantities of liquids like water, oil, petroleum, acid and sometime gases also, containers or tanks are required. These structures are made of masonry, steel, reinforced concrete and pre stressed concrete.Reinforced concrete tanks are very popular because, besides the construction and design being simple, they are cheap, monolithic in nature and can be made leak proof.
Elevated Tanks:-These tanks are supported on staging which may consist of masonry walls, R.C.C tower or R.C.C. column braced together- The walls are subjected to water pressure from inside. The base is subjected to weight of water, wt- of walls and wt. roof. The staging has to carry load of entire tank with water and is also subjected to wind loads.

Highway and pavement design plays an important role in the DPR projects Regarding the pavement design, it forms an important part of detailed engineering study. The satisfactory performance of the pavement will result in higher savings in terms of vehicle operating costs and travel time, which has a bearing on the overall economic feasibility of the project. This project discusses about the design methods that are traditionally being followed and examines the relative merits of flexible pavement.Currently, majority of the Indian roads are flexible pavements, the ones having bituminous layer/s. earlier, there used to be scarcity of cement and India went for flexible pavements with bituminous toppings. Now, flexible pavement are preferred over cement concrete roads as they have a great advantage that these can be strengthened and improved in stages with the growth of traffic. Another major advantage of these roads is that their surfaces can be milled and recycled for rehabilitation. The flexible pavements are less expensive also with regard to initial investment and maintenance.

Concrete is a versatile widely used construction material. Ever since concrete has been accepted as a material for construction, researchers have been trying to improve its quality and enhance its performance. Recent changes in construction industry demand improved durability of structures. There is a methodological shift in the concrete design from a strength based concept to a performance based design. At present there is a large emphasis on performance aspect of concrete. One such thought has lead to the development of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC). It is considered as “the most revolutionary development in concrete construction”. SCC is a new kind of High Performance Concrete (HPC) with excellent deformability and segregation resistance. It can flow through and fill the gaps of reinforcement and corners of moulds without any need for vibration and compaction during the placing process.Download Project with report on Effect of Size of Aggregate on Self Compacting concrete of M70 grade for final year Civil Engineering.

To find out the geotechnical properties of copper slag to replace the soil in constructions.Industrial waste is a type of waste produced by industrial activity, such that of factories, mills, mines. Copper slag is the one of the industrial waste available. It is a by product of copper production from copper core. During smelting, a molten pool of copper forms at the bottom of the furnace while a layer of impure metal, which is the slag, is drained off from the top. Copper slag and lime form cementateous material on hydration. Lime is a general term for calcium containing inorganic material, in which carbonates, oxides and hydroxides predominate. Lime provides a comfortable environment. Lime mixes have good workability. Lime binders can be durable and have stood the test of time.So download complete project report on INFLUENCE OF COMPACTION ON COPPER SLAG WHEN ADMIXTURE IS ADDED.

Copper slag is an abrasive blasting grit made of granulated slag from metal smelting processes (also called iron silicate). Copper slag is a by-product created during the copper smelting and refining process. As refineries draw metal out of copper core, they produce a large volume of non-metallic dust, soot, and rock. Collectively, these materials make up slag, which can be used for a surprising number of applications in the building and industrial fields.This material represents a popular alternative to sand as a blasting medium in industrial cleaning. Using blasting or high-pressure spraying techniques, companies can use copper slag to clean large smelting furnaces or equipment. Slag blasting is also used to remove rust, paint, and other materials from the surface of metal or stone. This helps to prepare the surface for painting, or simply to remove unwanted finishes or residue.

Few things are more aggravating to produce on a worksite than concrete. Bags of cement, sand, aggregate (gravel) and possibly other additives must be delivered to the construction area. A supply of clean water is also necessary, along with a rented concrete mixing hopper. Even after all the dusty and heavy ingredients have been loaded into the hopper, one small error in the wet/dry ratio can render an entire batch of concrete unusable.One common solution to this messy and time-consuming problem is “READY MIX CONCRETE” Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a ready-to-use material, with predetermined mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water.RMC is a type of concrete manufactured in a factory according to a set recipe or as per specifications of the customer, at a centrally located batching plant.
