1.7.2 Coal Bottom Ash in Self-Compacting Concrete Coal Bottom Ash has gained a great consideration as an alternative for replacing fine aggregates. Coal Bottom Ash has physical characteristics are same as that of naturally found sand which makes it suitable for replacing sand in concrete. Coal Bottom Ash represents good pozzolanic element reactivity when it comes in contact with finer elements. Many researchers in their research work claimed that the properties of Self-Compacting Concrete comprised

Work Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources &Fuels: Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly and sustainably replenished. The most common renewable energy sources are biomass‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal‚ wind power and solar power. Sunlight is the source of most renewable energy power; the sun can be used to produce solar energy which is electricity for heating‚ cooling‚ lighting homes and transportation.

THE THREE METHODS OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION Throughout history‚ there have been three primary mechanisms for allocating resources. • In a traditional economy‚ resources are allocated according to the long-lived practices of the past. Tradition was the dominant method of resource allocation for most of human history and remains strong in many tribal societies and small villages in parts of Africa‚ South America‚ Asia‚ and the Pacific. Typically‚ traditional methods of production are handed down

Selection of Topic: Energy Crisis is a shortfall in or interruption to the provision of energy supplies. The planet is progressively marching towards a serious electric energy crisis‚ owing to an escalating desire of electric energy becoming greater than its supply. We have always accepted that the energy we make use of each day is not unrestricted‚ still we take it for granted. Coal‚ petroleum‚ electrical power‚ even water has inadequate availability. Nevertheless‚ we have not taken sufficient

Energy Fossil Fuels Good Bad and Ugly Abstract Energy is an important part of our everyday lives. Energy can come in many different types‚ and forms it can be used for many different purposes. Energy has many different usages and can be converted from one form of usage to another form of usage depending on what the need is. One form of energy conversion is the use of food to supply people ’s bodies with energy. Another form of energy

Conserving energy is very important because there is a limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources available on earth such as coal‚ oil‚ and gas. If people do not conserve the nonrenewable resources we have now‚ there might not be any left for future generations. In addition‚ energy conservation is important because when nonrenewable energy sources are consumed this impacts the environment. The combustion of oil‚ gas‚ and coal in power stations produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global
