    Partial replacement of steel slag aggregates in concrete as fine aggregates (induction blast furnace slag)
    (Springer, 2019) Sundaramoorthi, S.; Hemalatha, T.; C, C.
    In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of partial replacement of conventional river sand with steel slag aggregate. The replacement of river sand by slag aggregate provides dual advantage of reducing disposal problems in steel industries and conserving the natural resources. In this study, slag aggregate originated from induction blast furnace has been used. The physical and chemical properties of slag aggregate evidenced the feasibility of using this material as a substitute for river sand. Total of three mixes made with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), cement replaced with fly ash and river sand replaced with slag aggregate have been considered for this study. The mix is designed for M40 grade. First mix (Control mix 0M0) made of OPC as a binder and 100% river sand, second mix (0M50) made of OPC and 50% slag aggregate and third mix (25M50) made of 25% OPC replaced by fly ash and 50% river sand replaced by slag aggregate. Mechanical and durability properties of all the three concretes are studied. It is found that the strength results of 0M0 and 0M50 are comparable indicating the suitability of using slag aggregate as an alternative for river sand. However, the third mix with fly ash replacement in binder showed reduced strength in comparison with control concrete. Hence, it is concluded that when slag aggregate is used as a partial replacement for river sand (50%), it is advisable to use OPC than the Pozzolanic Portland Cement (PPC). © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

    Stress Analysis of a Member of Jacket Structure with Different Types of Stiffeners
    (Springer, 2024) Sreejith, T.S.; Kaliveeran, V.
    Jacket structures are subjected to very challenging environmental conditions and thus require certain reinforcements to ensure the resistance against the challenging conditions. The present study deals with the stress analysis of a member of a jacket structure with triangular type stiffener and another with second order curved stiffener. The specimen considered is of steel with dimensions 800 mm × 100 mm × 10 mm. The member is considered as a fixed bar subjected to a concentrated load of 500 N at the mid-span. The idea is to reinforce the member to strengthen up which in turn increases the life of the structure. The configuration of the stiffeners is such that the stress concentration is avoided. The triangular stiffener has a length of 200 mm and height of 20 mm and thickness of 10 mm. The second order curved stiffener has the same length, height and thickness and follows the variation y=20-x5+x22000. Four stiffeners are provided, one at the top and one at the bottom of each end. The structure is simulated and analyzed in a Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software and the necessary results are obtained. The results from this analysis are validated using the experimental results. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Experimental Investigation of the Behavior of Tubular T-Joint of Jacket Structures
    (Springer, 2024) Murugan, N.; Kaliveeran, V.; Kundapura, S.
    This study deals with a preliminary experimental study to examine the behavior of tubular T-joint of Jacket structures under compressive load, which is helpful for further study of reinforcement in T-joints for strengthening. A specimen of T-joint with geometric dimensions of chord length = 494 mm, chord diameter = 141 mm, chord thickness = 5 mm, and brace length = 237 mm, brace diameter = 90 mm, brace thickness = 4.5 mm was considered for this study. The specimen is subjected to axial compressive load which is applied from the top end of the brace member. The ends of the chord member are in simply supported condition. The experiment is conducted in a 40 T UTM machine. The loads are applied with an interval of 50 kgf starting from zero to the yield load of 9,600 kgf. The experimental setup, specimen details, and the relevant results (load-deformation relationship and failure mechanism) are presented. The findings of the study, i.e., local joint deformation behavior under compressive load, are presented graphically. © 2024, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
