    Traffic characteristics evaluation and traffic management measures: A case study of Dharwad city
    (2018) Hanumappa, D.; Mulangi, R.H.; Kudachimath, N.S.
    Traffic problems in the urban areas are increasing at a rapid rate. Engineers, planners or the policymakers are having a tough time in dealing with their multiple constraints for getting the desired solution. Some of the main transportation planning problems are mixed traffic plying on the roads, inadequate parking areas, increasing number of vehicles and road users, the unbalanced pattern of land use with obsolete road system, increasing number of road facilities and environmental pollution. Since in India most of the cities are unplanned, we are only left with an option management of existing infrastructure. In this paper, one such case study is presented in which a detailed traffic management for the city of Dharwad is carried out. � 2018 Hanumappa et al.

    Utilization of Aluminium Refinery Residue (ARR), GGBS and Alkali Solution Mixes in Road Construction
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Kudachimath, N.S.; Mulangi, R.H.; Das, B.B.
    Manufacturing and the construction industries are on the boom with the growing economy of the world. Aluminium and steel are produced in very large quantities compared to other metals. These industries also produce by-products that are either partially utilized or unutilized. Aluminium refinery residue (ARR) with its colour known as Redmud, produced from bauxite by Bayer process, because of its high pH demands huge storage land. In road construction, a large quantity of material is required at the lower layers. In the present work wastes from both industries are tried for reuse. Ground-granulated blast furnace slog (GGBS) from the iron and steel industry makes complex compounds with sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide to increase the strength properties of aluminium refinery residue (ARR) and is verified with basic laboratory experiments for strength and durability tests on stabilized aluminium refinery residue (ARR). Ground-granulated blast furnace slog (GGBS) of 20–30% is used to stabilize ARR, and cured for up to 28 days, and the result of the various mix has shown an increase in strength with curing periods. The highest UCS test result of 4.01 MPa was observed for 28 days cured sample. For durability tests, the treated specimens are passed through wet/dry cycle and freeze/thaw conditions for various curing periods. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
