350Experimental Investigation of Floating slab with Incorporated Pumice stone and Vermiculite PROJECT ABSTRACT This Project deals with the development of Floating type of concrete by using lightweight aggregate Pumice stone and Aluminium powder as an air entraining agent There are many types of lightweight concrete which can be produced either by using lightweight aggregate or by using an air entraining agent In this study we have to work on combination of above mentioned types This concrete is a non structural concrete In this study comparison has be made between plain cement concrete and lightweight concrete having different proportion of Aggregate size and fix quantity of Aluminumcontent i e 2 8 by the weight of cement has been taken into account It helps to increase volume of concrete and hence reduce the weight Keywords Floating concrete Pumice stone Aluminium powder Density Compressive strength OBJECTIVE The main objective of the floating concrete is to increase the resisting capacity of the concrete while the external loads acted on it and to set them in stable condition without disrupting the environmental surroundings The floating concrete provides the solution for the land reclamation and it also promotes the protection for the coastal area region from the high wave s intensity and therefore minimizing the damage in the coastal body caused due to the intensity of waves
RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE To reduce the self weight of the structure Constructions on water bodies Used as an acoustic medium Low thermal conductivity LITERATURE SURVEY 1 Floating Concrete by using LightWeight Aggregates and Air Entraining Agent Mukesh D Ghadge 2015 Mukesh worked on the development of Floating type of concrete by using lightweight aggregate Pumice stone and Aluminium powder as an air entraining agent There are many types of lightweight concrete which can be produced either by using lightweight aggregate or by using an air entraining agent In this study we have worked on combination of above mentioned types This concrete is a non structural concrete In this study comparison has be made between plain cement concrete and lightweight concrete having different proportion of Aggregate size and fix quantity of Aluminium content i e 2 by the weight of cement has been taken into account It helps to increase volume of concrete and hence reduce the weight 2 Experimental Study on Light Weight Aggregate Concrete with Pumice Stone Silica Fume and Fly Ash as A Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate Lakshmi Kumar Minapu 2014 Lakshmi Kumar Minapu worked on the light weight concrete and light weight aggregate concrete and its classification It is also reported on properties of various light weight aggregate concrete It is also discussed on proportioning of light weight aggregate concrete by weight method 3 Process for the manufacture of aerated concrete construction materials and construction materials GiorgioMassa et al
Their presence is largely due to a severe shortage of land and the sky rocketing land costs in recent times After providing a description of a VLFS and highlighting its advantages under certain conditions over the traditional land reclamation in creating space from the sea the authors bring to attention the early the present and future applications of VLFS The input design data hydro elastic analysis and design considerations for very large floating structures are discussed albeit in the most basic forms METHODOLOGY Materials Aluminium Powder From Jayam Chemicals Gandhipuram Coimbatore Plastic Polypropylene GGBS Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Gypsum Expected Outcomes The project will have the following impacts in the construction field and society Floating breakwaters are less expensive structures than fixed structure in deeper water Floating breakwaters are not as intrusive as fixed backwaters can be more aesthetically pleasing Excellent behavior in cold weather High fire resistance and inherent rigidity at low temperature
