Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 5, Issue 4, ( Part -7) April 2015, pp.117-120 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Experimental study on compressive strength of concrete by partially replacement of cement with sugar cane bagasse ash Jayminkumar A. Patel*, Dr. D. B. Raijiwala** *(M. Tech Student, Applied Mechanics Department, S. V. National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, INDIA-395007) ** (Associate Professor, Applied Mechanics Department, S. V. National Institute of Technology, Surat, Gujarat, INDIA-395007) ABSTRACT Use of waste material in concrete is important for environmental aspect. Sugar cane bagasse ash is a waste by product of sugar mill. Present study is to investigate impact of sugar cane bagasse ash in concrete. In this experimental work sugar cane bagasse ash which is taken from Maroli sugar mill, Navsari, Gujarat, INDIA is partially replace with cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight in concrete. The grade of concrete is M25 and w/c ratio is 0.49 taken as a reference. 150*150*150 mm cubes are casted and tested for 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. Compressive strength result shows that up to 10% replacement of sugar cane bagasse ash in concrete gives comparable result with normal concrete without any admixture, but 5% replacement give maximum compressive strength. Also the amount of sugar cane bagasse ash increase, workability of concrete increases. Keywords - Compressive strength, Concrete, Partial replacement, Sugar cane bagasse ash, Workability I.

    PLP 2016-17 - NAVSARI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Introduction Navsari is primarily an agricultural district with Paddy, Sugarcane and horticulture as the predominant crops. The other major crops cultivated are Jowar, Tur, Groundnut, etc. About 47% of land holdings are with small and marginal farmers and the average size of the holdings is 0.55 Ha. The Potential Linked Credit Plan (PLP) for 2016-17 has been prepared aligning with the revised RBI guidelines on Priority Sector Lending. It estimates credit flow of `148170.16 lakh, of which, Crop Production sector has a major share of 26.8% at ` 39607.85 lakh. Term loan under agriculture is assessed at ` 54080.72 lakh accounting for about 57.6% of Total Agriculture and 36.5% of Total Priority Sector. Under MSME, `22580.75 lakh has been assessed as potential forming 15.2% of Priority Sector and balance at ` 31900.84 lakh has been estimated for other sectors like Exports, Education, Housing, etc. The activity- wise and block-wise assessment of potential is presented in Annexure I. The PLP projection for 2016-17 is lower by `23342.79 lakh when compared to the PLP for the year 2015- 16 representing an decrease of 13.5%. The PLP projection has been reassessed taking into consideration of disbursement made during last three years, availability of Infrastructure for exploiting the potential and capacity of the line department to provide extension support. Further, the PLP projection is higher by `24461.72 lakh when compared to the ACP target for the year 2015-16.

  • Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Biodiversity of Coastal Areas of Valsad, South Gujarat Ayantika Das1, Jigna Desai2 1, 2Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Department of Biosciences, Surat, India Abstract: The present study documents the diversity and quantitative assessment of fringing mangroves in these nine different estuarine regions of Valsad district of South Gujarat. The most outstanding feature of our study is that we observed four species of mangrove and sixspecies of mangrove associate namely Avicennia marina, Sonneratia apetala, Salvadora persica, Acanthus illicifolius, Ipomoea pes caprae, Sesuviarum portulacastrum, Clerodendrum inerme, Derris heterophylla, Cressa cretica,and Aeluropus lagopoides.The dominant mangroves in these areas are Avicennia species and Acanthus illicifolius.Earlier works included Rhizophora mucronata which was not found during this study in any of the nine spots of mangrove forests.We have used the Jaccardian similarity index to analysis the floral diversity of our mangrove sites. Our studyhighlighted the relation between water quality parameters, environmental and anthropogenic stress and speciescomposition and structures of mangrove.

The market study hinted at the fact that raw safed musli is unprofitable to sell, so the farmers should go for value addition, like making musli powder, packaging, branding and selling either in wholesale or retail markets. For this in Dang district, some villages have made sincere effort in value addition through purchasing of machineries by jointly /co-operative basis. This effort helped these villages in terms of more production, quality improvement, process improvement and higher earnings. For marketing, villagers have tied up with some retailers. They are also thinking to establish their own wholesale and retail counters at Waghai, Saputara (major tourist centers) and Surat (major market for medicinal plants in south Gujarat). However, to start with, it was decided that farmers would be educated to start collective marketing of safed musli at a better price at terminal markets in India. A number of big traders were identified in Indore, Nasik and Mumbai; their terms and conditions were compared and a trader was finalized.
