The duration of a construction project is significantly influenced by the formwork system, which is a crucial component. It utilizes a range of materials, including timber, steel, aluminum, plastic, and more. This structure needs to possess adequate strength to support both the weight of the materials used during the casting process, as well as any additional loads until the concrete sets and achieves a certain percentage of its intended strength. The selection/design of a formwork system for a project is influenced by the building design, site conditions, available resources, the contractor's experience with different systems, and their availability. The selection of a formwork system is made by a senior member of the contractor's organization. In the construction of traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) buildings, the expenses associated with formwork play a significant role. Based on a rough estimate, formwork costs can range from 40 to 60 percent of the total cost of the concrete frame, making it approximately equal to 10 percent of the overall cost of the entire building structure. The aim of this research is to examine the factors that impact the choice of formwork system. By conducting a questionnaire survey, both Conventional (traditional) and modular formwork systems are analyzed in order to evaluate the factors involved in their selection. When evaluating various formwork systems like traditional formwork, Peri, Mivan and Doka. Several essential aspects were taken into account including cost, quality, cycle time, number of repetitions, and safety. This research study aims to assist construction project contractors in making informed decisions when choosing a formwork system that is both safe and cost-effective for concrete construction purposes.

 Abstract

In order to estimate depth from a single image without labelled training data, unsupervised monocular depth estimation is the topic of this project. The model gains insight into depth cues from the structure and look of the images by using unsupervised learning algorithms. CNNs and GANs are examples of deep neural networks that iteratively train depth maps. This method is scalable and practical because it does not require human depth annotation. The findings improve depth perception in a variety of applications and have important implications for autonomous navigation, 3D reconstruction, and augmented reality.

 Abstract

Reinforced concrete is one of the most common materials used by the construction industry worldwide. The raw materials for its construction are widely available and the structures constructed are generally durable. Due to the wide variety of applications, strong concrete structures are vulnerable to a range of threat conditions, including marine, industrial or other critical environments. In fact, the need for high durability is not always achieved in practice due to which the corrosion of reinforcement in concrete occurs which is one of the main causes of deterioration in the RC structure. Corrosion of Reinforcement has been widely reported and is one of the main causes of durability threat in R C structures. In the present study an experimental investigation was carried out on flexural strength of M 20 grade corroded reinforced concrete beams at three different corrosion levels (5 %, 10% and 15%) and results obtained are compared with a non-corroded reinforced beam of similar configuration. It is found that initially (on 5% corrosion) the rate of reduction of ultimate flexural strength is more as compared to more corroded beams (10 % and 15 %).

 Abstract

The education background in India has perceived a tectonic shift this past year with the impact of the pandemic and the distressing second wave that hit closer to home. As schools and colleges across the country were suddenly mourning of the usual student conversation and in-person classroom lectures, India comprised a new age of remote learning with noteworthy speed and commitment. Curriculums were twisted almost overnight, teachers upskilled, and students adapted to the 'new normal'. What one assumed was a 'quick fix', has become the norm for the past year and a half, and it seems it is here to stay with many learning institutions adopting the fusion model. Thus, digital learning will continue to be the all-encompassing trend as we enter the new time, as well as learning gaps such as assessment effectiveness and curriculum efficacy taking centre stage.

 Abstract

Looking into the dynamics of Modern Fiction we find that it is one of the most valued essays of Virginia Woolf. On April 10, 1919 it was published as Modern Novels in The Times Literary Supplement. In 1925 it was further revised and published as Modern Fiction in The Common Reader. For modern writers this essay serves as a manifesto as it explores various themes and techniques that is absent in conventional and traditional mode of writing fiction. Thus, it can be said that it challenged the conventions of traditional fiction. In literary history this essay holds a significant position because it established a visionary perspective on the purpose and form of fiction in modern period. Literature has gone through various changing during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Linear plot structure, predictable characters along with traditional narrative has been openly challenged by writers like Virginia Woolf and James Joyce in modern period. The present essay entitled Modern Fiction provides fresh insights to modern writers and it can be one of the reasons that it gave immense popularity to Virginia Woolf. Critics and scholars are of the opinion that this essay was a response to traditional literary landscape which failed to capture the complexities of human behaviour. Virginia Woolf has tried hard to redefine the genre of fiction by following experimental and introspective form of writing. It is interesting to note that Modern Fiction also changed the perception of readers and they understood that a true fiction can project the complexities of human behaviour. A good fiction must project the intricacies of life and it can be one of the reasons that a linear and chronological method of storytelling was questioned by Virginia Woolf. She has stated that nothing is fixed in life and thus, there must not be any prejudices in fiction. The subjectivity of human consciousness has been well expressed in the essay Modern Fiction. Woolf has remarked that traditional form of storytelling failed to capture the true moments of life because life is unpredictable. In modern form of writing fiction, we can find that a character is analyzed by different perspectives. True essence of human thoughts and emotions are well expressed through techniques like stream of consciousness in modern form of writing. In traditional literature we cannot find such techniques because it is a result of continuous experimentation with different plots, narrative forms and characters.

 Abstract

According to the Tirthankaras, every living thing has a soul (Jiva), and each one is involved in a seemingly infinite cycle of reincarnation. The ultimate goal of Jainism is to achieve Moksha (freedom), which entails releasing the soul from this cycle of rebirth. Anuvrata, which is the voice of the lay people, followed in order to break the cycle of birth and death and to become the ideal Shravak or Shravika (lay people). Lay people (Shravak /Shravika), who are in household life, follow Anuvrata, whereas Sadhu and Sadhvi, who have given up household life, strictly adhere to Mahavrata throughout their lives. However, since householders are unable to adhere to Mahavrata completely, these Mahavratas are followed in the form of Anuvrata. Satya, Ahimsa, Acharya, Aparigraha, and Brahmacharya are the five fundamental vows. In the research paper, the researcher explains Anuvrata existence, applicability, and significance.
