Beam with Seeding Tray and Polythene Balls

 For simply supported reinforced concrete beam, the region below neutral axis is in tension and above neutral axis in compression. 

As concrete is weak in taking tension, steel reinforcement is provided in the tension zone. The concrete below the neutral axis act as a stress transfer medium between the compression and tension zone. 

Partial replacement of the concrete below the neutral axis is an idea that create reduction in weight and savings in materials. 

For this product, an experimental investigation on partial replacement of concrete below the neutral axis is done by using seeding trays and the results were compared with M35 grade concrete RCC beams and replaced beams by using polythene balls.

                                Fig: Beam with seeding tray and polythene balls

Fig :Testing of beam under loading frame

In the experiment, we found that the beam of seeding tray with polyethene balls with much reduced the volume of concrete has 3.25 % less weight than the conventional beam.

The load carrying capacity of beam of seeding tray with polyethene balls equal to 90 % of that of Conventional beam.

Simultaneously, the beam of seeding tray with polyethene balls also has improved elasticity property compared to the conventional beam which causes the conventional beam to deflect less than the beam of seeding tray with polyethene balls.

Online GDB

Introduction:  GDB is a debugger for C (and C++). It allows you to do things like run the program up to a certain point then stop and print out the values of certain variables at that point, or step through the program one line at a time and print out the values of each variable after executing each line. DB online is an online compiler and debugger tool for C, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, C#, OCaml, VB, Perl, Swift, Prolog, JavaScript, Pascal, COBOL, HTML, CSS, JS. Code, Compile, Run and Debug online from anywhere in world .   Execution Plan:   The teacher explains some topics by using this debugger and given demonstration regarding how to use GDB .    Outcomes:  1. Students can get knowledge of GDB it speed up programming.   User Manual 

Understanding Java: A Powerful and Versatile Programming Language

Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. It has a rich history and continues to play a pivotal role in software development across various domains. Whether you're building mobile apps, developing web applications, or working on enterprise-level systems, Java offers the tools and flexibility needed to create robust and scalable software. The Origins of Java Java was first developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s and was later acquired by Oracle Corporation. The language was initially designed to have a "write once, run anywhere" capability, meaning that code written in Java can run on any platform that supports Java without the need for recompilation. This cross-platform feature is made possible by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which interprets Java bytecode and executes it on the host machine. Key Features of Java Platform Independence : One of Java's standout features is its platform independence. Java programs are compiled into...

Tinkercad

    Tinkercad is a free, web-based 3D design and modeling software primarily geared towards beginners, educators, and hobbyists. Created by Autodesk, Tinkercad allows users to easily create 3D models, circuit designs, and simulations without needing any prior experience in CAD (Computer-Aided Design). The software emphasizes user-friendliness, providing a simple interface for designing 3D models and simulating electronic circuits, making it ideal for educational purposes and quick prototyping.   Tinkercad is widely used for various purposes such as 3D printing, creating design prototypes, and teaching electronics. It provides access to an online community where users can share their designs, collaborate with others, and explore various project ideas.   Installing steps: Since Tinkercad is a cloud-based platform, there is no installation required on the user's computer. It can be accessed directly through a web browser by following these steps: 1. Go to th...
