Abstract

In the fast moving world with the amazingly growing technology, character recognitions play a wide role by providing more scope to perform research in OCR techniques. Sanskrit handwritten recognition has been one of the challenging research areas in the field of pattern recognition. Character recognition is the electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten or printed text into a machine encoded text. The character recognition is a standout amongst the most generally utilized biometric attributes for authentication of persons and document. In this paper proposed an off line handwritten character recognition framework utilizing feed forward neural network. A handwritten Sanskrit character is resized into 20x30 pixels and this character is used for training the neural network. After the training process, the same character is given as input to the neural network with different set of neurons in hidden layer and their recognition accuracy rate for different Sanskrit characters has been calculated and compared. The results of the proposed system yields good recognition accuracy rates comparable to that of other handwritten character recognition systems.

Abstract

Honey combs were formed in structural members due to improper compaction, hence self compacting concrete can be used to get better strength. As the concrete gets compacted itself due to gravitational force, additional use of vibrators can be avoided. Provision of steel fibres in concrete can reduce the crack, impact and shrinkage. The mix ratio for self compacting concrete with steel fibres has been arrived with the reference of EFNARC*. The purpose of this project is to perform experimental and analytical investigation to explore the flexural behavior of steel fibre reinforced concrete beam and hybrid fibre reinforced concrete beam. The relationship between the various strength tests are established using the graphs.

Abstract

Self-compacting solid offers a quick pace of solid situation, with quicker development times and simplicity of stream around blocked support. The ease and isolation opposition of SCC guarantees a significant degree of homogeneity, negligible solid voids and uniform solid strength, giving the possibility to a better degree of finish and solidness than the construction. The improved development practice and execution, joined with the wellbeing and security benefits, make SCC an exceptionally alluring answer for both precast concrete and structural designing development. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a unique concrete that sets and compacts without the use of vibration. Except in the presence of clogged support, it will flow under its own weight, fully filling formwork and completing maximum compaction. The solidified concrete is dense, homogeneous, and has comparable design and strength properties to traditional concrete.

Abstract

High Performance Concrete (HPC) is a propelled sort of con crete that can increase the strength and versatility of concrete structures. For many years, High performance concrete (HPC) is the innovative type of concrete. It has been developed and used for many purpose in construction results in increased characteri stics compared to conventional concrete. Fly ash, Silica fume, Quarry Dust has been popularly used in as mineral admixtures and along with that water also used as natural admixture in HPC to improve the mechanical properties. The utilization of nearby mate rials is a principal venture to spare materials and vitality and lessen the cost of concrete. The cement has been partially replaced with silica fume, combination of coconut shell and eggshell ash (with equal proportions). In order to found out the mechani cal properties of High High-Performance concrete, concrete specimens were casted and tested for 7, 28 days up to failure. In this investigation the mechanical properties of HPC are compared to Controlled Specimens.

Abstract

The main aim of Engineering education is to impart intellectual development and promote technical skills to engineering students. Teaching methodology plays a major role in the teaching-learning process. The basic goal of engineering students is to nurture knowledge in the relevant areas. Engineering education is technology-oriented; the learners should apply his/her knowledge to a specific application. To develop their technical skills, the students should identify suitable learning styles for their potentialities. The proper teaching methodology is a key point to success in engineering education. The industry expects the students to be high-quality engineers and industry-ready after completing their courses. Due to lagging in technical training and syllabus provided by the university doesn't match with the real- time industry projects. To achieve these outcomes technical-based activity needs to be enhanced in engineering education. In this paper, we proposed a Tool Based Technical Activity (TBTA) teaching method that converges traditional teaching methods which improve the student's attention in learning. Students' feedback with TBTA improves students' learning, communication, technical skills, and knowledge.
