The fly ash is one of the waste materials of thermal power stations, a Coir Fiber (CF) is an abundantly available waste material in coastal India. This paper presents the influence of the inclusion of fly ash and coir fiber on strength properties of soft soil. The review is performed on clayey sand(SC), admixed with class C fly ash and reinforced with coir fibers of aspect ratio(l/d=40) and it is exhibited that discrete as well as randomly distributed coir fibers are instrumental in enhancing the bearing capacity of soil. The soil considered here contains varying percentage of fly ash (range from 5- 20% by weight of soil) and the Coir fibers are added at 3% and 5% for investigation of the relative strength gain in terms of unconfined compression and CBR. Using standard Proctor’s maximum density of fly ash and coir fiber, soil was compacted. The present investigation is to evaluate the maximum dry density (MDD), unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of soil utilizing varying percentage of fly ash and coir fiber mixtures. The test outcomes explain that the inclusion of fly ash and coir fibers in soil increases UCS, CBR value and furthermore increase the MDD of soil. The result showed that the optimum percentage of fly ash and coir fiber for achieving maximum strength is 10% fly ash inclusion with 5% coir fiber of the weight of oven-dried soil.<#LINE#>Puppala A., Hoyos L., Viyanant C. and Musenda C.

Recycling of CDW to produce recycled aggregates can minimize the gap between demand and supply of natural aggregates in construction sector. Use of recycled aggregates in structural applications has not gained momentum due to non-availability of standard guidelines pertaining to specifications, concrete mix design procedures for producing structural grade concrete i.e. M35, M40, M45, M60 and self compacting concrete. The present study is aimed to develop the above guidelines for producing structural grade concrete i.e. M35, M40, M45, M60 and self compacting concrete from the locally available commercial RCA.<#LINE#>Pacheco-Torgal F., Tam V., Labrincha J., Ding Y. and de Brito J.

The AVR without any controller does not ensure robust stability of the system. To ensure this characteristic, PID controller is used in conjunction with voltage regulator and PSO algorithm is used to tune the parameters of PID to get the better outputs. MATLAB turned out to be a useful tool and it is used for the optimization process. The paper also shows us the comparison of AVR output without controller and with PSO tuned PID controller.<#LINE#>Yoshida H., Kawata K., Fukuyama Y., Takayama S. and Nakanishi Y.
