Item ELECTRO-CHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF COATED REINFORCEMENT IN CEMENT CONCRETE.(1987) Patil, B.T.; Gajendragad, M.R.; Ramchandran, T.; Ranganna, G.; Nayak, H.V, SudhakerConcrete constructions exposed to marine environments eventually suffer from corrosion of embedded steel rods. In its advanced state, this corrosion can crack the concrete and weaken the structure. The authors studied the behaviour of paint-coated reinforcements in cement concrete containing different amounts of chloride through an electrode polarization technique. Coated steel rods perform better as far as corrosion of rebar is concerned.Item Complexometric determination of palladium (II) using hydroxylamine hydrochloride as releasing agent(1989) Shetty, A.Nityananda; Gadag, R.V.; Gajendragad, M.R.A method is proposed for selective complexometric determination of Pd(II) using hydroxylamine hydrochloride as a replacing (masking) agent. An excess of EDTA is added to Pd(II) solution containing associated diverse metal ions and the uncomplexed EDTA is titrated at pH 5-6 (acetic acid - acetate buffer) with lead nitrate solution using xylenol orange as indicator. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride is then added to displace EDTA from the Pd-EDTA complex. The released EDTA is titrated with standard lead nitrate solution. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained in the concentration range 0.3-15 mg of Pd with a relative error of 0.4% and coefficient of variation (n=6) not exceeding 0.4%.Item Complexometric titration of thallium(III), by use of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-propyl-1,2,4-triazole as replacing reagent(1988) Shetty, A, N.; Gadag, R.V.; Gajendragad, M.R.A simple and selective EDTA method using a masking and demasking technique is proposed for the determination of thallium(III). The thallium is complexed with excess of EDTA, the surplus being back-titrated (pH 5-6, hexamine buffer) with zinc sulphate solution (Xylenol Orange as indicator). 4-Amino-5-mercapto-3-propyl-1,2,4-triazole is then added and the mixture heated on a water-bath for 5-10 min to displace EDTA from its thallium complex. The EDTA liberated is titrated with zinc sulphate solution. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained in the range 5-75 mg of thallium with both the relative error and coefficient of variation not exceeding 0.4%. 1987.Item Complexometric determination of mercury(II) by use of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-propyl-1,2,4-triazole as replacing reagent(1982) Gadiyar, H.R.A.; Gadag, R.V.; Gajendragad, M.R.A simple, rapid, and selective complexometric method is proposed for the determination of mercury(II). Mercury(II) is first complexed with excess of EDTA and the surplus EDTA is back-titrated (pH 5-6) with zinc sulphate solution, with Xylenol Orange as indicator. 4-Amino-5-mercapto-3-propyl-1,2,4-triazole is then added to displace EDTA from the Hg-EDTA complex and the released EDTA is titrated with zinc sulphate solution. Reproducible and accurate results are obtained in the range 1-40 mg of mercury, with a relative error of approximately 0.4%. 1982.Item 4-Amino-3-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole as a gravimetric reagent for determination of silver in silver compounds, alloys and complexes(1978) Gadag, R.V.; Gajendragad, M.R.A simple, convenient and accurate gravimetric method for the determination of silver is presented. 4-Amino-3-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole precipitates silver quantitatively from ammoniacal tartrate medium. The complex is weighed as AgC3H5N4S after drying at 120-30 . Separation of silver from a large number of cations is described. Application of the method for quantitative analysis of alloys and complexes of silver is reported. The average relative error for the range 20-70 mg of silver is 0.25% and the relative standard deviation at the 40-mg level is 0.2%. 1978.Item Performance of plasticized/superplasticized concrete in the marine environment(1994) Patil, B.T.; Gajendragad, M.R.; Ranganna, G.; Wagh, A.B.; Sudhakaran, T.The use of admixtures, particularly plasticizers and superplasticizers in concrete, is gaining much attention now a days. Their use increases the workability of concrete which allows reduction in W/C ratio, resulting in reduced permeability. The major factor affecting durability of RCC in an aggressive environment like marine is the corrosion of reinforcement due to the corrosion inducing substances present in the media, which reaches its surface by ingression through concrete. Hence one can expect that the use of these admixtures can improve the performance of RCC in the marine environment provided proper W/C ratio is used. In the present study, the performance of RCC containing three indigenous admixtures namely, a plasticizer and two superplasticizers at different dosages with reduced W/C ratio was studied. The study was carried out by assessing the corrosion of reinforcement in concrete electrodes containing these admixtures by means of potentiostatic polarization technique. The results show that the corrosion resistance of reinforcement in increased by the use of admixtures.Item ELECTRO-CHEMICAL BEHAVIOUR OF COATED REINFORCEMENT IN CEMENT CONCRETE.(1987) Patil, B.T.; Gajendragad, M.R.; Ramchandran, T.; Ranganna, G.; Sudhaker, Nayak, H.V.Concrete constructions exposed to marine environments eventually suffer from corrosion of embedded steel rods, in its advanced state, this corrosion can crack the concrete and weaken the structure.

The Aladangadi Hole (river) basin is one such area. Although the basin receives very heavy rainfall, it faces water scarcity problems and thus has remained undeveloped. Intense development in the coastal region has created increasing demands for fresh water. As a pilot study, hydrological investigations for the yield, quality of water and soil, aquifer parameters, soil-water-crop compatibility, groundwater potential and Landsat imagery studies have been undertaken. This paper highlights several aspects of irrigation for an all-round development of the basin.
