THESIS/PROJECTS
Masters Thesis:
The increasing landfill sites and other environmental concerns about the demolished debris of construction infrastructures need to be tackled technically. Masters thesis is how to enhance the quality of this Recycled Aggregate so that it can further be used in different construction applications. Demolished and Recycled Aggregates are obtained from different sites and are evaluated under the specification of AASHTO and ASTM for physical and mechanical properties with different proportions of Recycled Aggregates. The optimum proportion of was further evaluated in the broad perspective of quality and cost.
Bachelors Thesis:
During Bachelors studies a nearby village was attacked by a water-born epidemic. I collected the water from different sites, investigate water quality parameters and compared the results with WHO guideline values. The water found to be unfit. The relative authorities were informed.
