Happy New Year 2016!!! And More...

Hello there!!!

I have been completely inactive with regard to my blog for close to 6 months now. I would like to change that in the new year. First let me wish you all, a very Happy and Successful New Year 2016! I know you all will be busy writing your semester examinations, so wishing you all success in that as well. Every time I write a post, I usually want to post something useful. So this time around as well, I would like to give you something beneficial. The upcoming semester is going to be very short, especially, the final semester students are going to find themselves in a tight spot due to very limited time for their projects. In this regard, I would like to suggest one broad area of research that has some practical relevance. 

Journal Article: Engineering Performance of Lime Stabilized Soil Admixed with Natural Materials

Hello!!!

Here is another article for the research collection.

Citation:

James, J., Lakshmi, S.V., Pandian, P.K., and Vanitha, S., (2014), "Engineering Performance of Lime Stabilized Soil Admixed with Natural Materials", International Journal of Applied Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 1209-1217

I would like to just put up the abstract as the paper details are already given in the citation format given above instead of cluttering the post with too much details as I have been doing in earlier posts with research tag. Also for posts with research  tag, there no longer will be a download counter. (As it is a bit tedious to set it up and I am not finding the time to do it as well.)

Journal Article: Effect of Lime on the Index Properties of Rice Husk Ash Stabilized Soil

Hello!!!

Here's another addition to the research collection.

Journal Article: Performance Study on Soil Stabilisation using Natural Materials

Hello Again!!

Here is another of my journal publications. This is related to the effect of utilizing natural materials in stabilization of soil.

Citation:

Journal Article: Cost Effective Bricks in Construction: A Performance Study

Hello There!!!

This is my first post related to Research. This post is about a journal article published in the International Journal of Applied Engineering Research regarding use of waste materials in manufacture of bricks. This was the very first paper that I had published along with my colleagues then. I am sharing this now so that students and faculty alike have better access to research articles. Hope you find this useful. Your feedback is welcome. Please use the comments section below or contact me via e mail.
