Urban Development of Bhopal City- Challenges and Recommendations
type: item
description: Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has experienced rapid and largely unplanned urban growth over the past two decades, resulting in significant stress on its infrastructure, environment, and public services. The expansion of peripheral areas such as Kolar Road, Misrod, and Ayodhya Bypass has intensified issues including inefficient solid waste management, water shortages, incomplete sewerage systems, rising pollution, and degradation of vital water bodies like the Upper and Lower Lakes. Although initiatives under the Smart Cities Mission have been introduced, their impact remains limited and uneven. This study critically analyzes these urban challenges and advocates for a holistic, integrated planning approach. Drawing from successful practices in cities like Indore and Odisha, it proposes multi-layered planning, decentralized infrastructure, smart technologies, and enhanced citizen participation. The study emphasizes sustainable resource management, inclusive growth, and environmental conservation to transform Bhopal into a resilient and sustainable urban model.

Development of Sustainable Porous Concrete Using Recycled Waste Materials for Permeable Pavement Applications: “Rain to Recharge – Porous Concrete with a Purpose”
type: item
description: Rapid urbanization has increased impermeable surfaces, leading to reduced groundwater recharge and increased stormwater runoff. This research presents the development of sustainable porous concrete using recycled waste materials under the slogan “Rain to Recharge – Porous Concrete with a Purpose.” The porous concrete was prepared using recycled hollow block aggregates, waste plastic bottle pieces, rubber pieces, silica, ordinary Portland cement, water, and super latex without the use of fine aggregates. The mix was designed for M15 grade concrete with a water-cement ratio of 0.3. Experimental investigations were carried out using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to determine compressive strength, tensile strength, permeability, and density after 7 days of curing. The developed porous concrete achieved compressive strength of 6.4 N/mm², tensile strength of 0.63 N/mm², permeability of 9.74 mm/sec, and density of 1400 kg/m³. The results indicate that the developed porous concrete exhibits excellent water infiltration capacity while maintaining sufficient strength for low-volume pavements, sidewalks, parking areas, and groundwater recharge systems. The incorporation of waste materials contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing solid waste disposal and promoting eco-friendly construction practices.

ABC Analysis in Construction Material Management: A review
type: item
description: ABC analysis is a widely used inventory management technique that helps in classifying materials based on their importance and cost. This study focuses on the application of ABC analysis in construction projects along with its structured flow framework, benefits, and limitations. The integrated system flow framework includes stages such as inventory data collection, classification of items into A, B, and C categories, application of suitable control strategies, and regular review for continuous improvement. This method helps in prioritizing high-value items, ensuring better control, and reducing unnecessary costs. The study highlights that ABC analysis improves resource utilization, minimizes wastage, and enhances decision-making efficiency. However, it also has certain limitations such as the need for continuous updating and focus only on cost factors. Overall, ABC analysis provides a systematic approach for effective inventory management in construction projects.

An Analytical Review of Risk Management in Construction Projects
type: item
description: Risk management in construction projects is an essential process that helps in identifying, analyzing, and controlling risks that may affect project performance. Construction projects involve various uncertainties such as financial issues, design changes, environmental conditions, and labor problems. Effective risk management improves decision-making, enhances planning, and increases the chances of project success. It includes key steps such as risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring. Proper risk management helps in achieving project objectives related to time, cost, and quality. It also builds trust among stakeholders and reduces financial losses. However, risk management has some limitations, such as incorrect risk assessment and inability to eliminate all risks. Therefore, a systematic approach and proper coordination among stakeholders are required. Overall, risk management plays a vital role in improving project efficiency, minimizing uncertainties, and ensuring successful completion of construction projects.

Assessing the Variations in Flow Number (FN) of Asphalt Concrete (AC) Under Dynamic Compressive Stresses (DCS)
type: item
description: ABSTRACT The flow number (FN) of asphalt concrete (AC) pavement is the number of dynamic loading cycles at which the Visco-plastic strain hardening of the AC mixture reaches saturation. It varies among the deformation types (resilient, permanent, and total). An attempt has been made in the present work to identify such variation in the FN when the AC mixture is subjected to dynamic compressive stress (DCS). Cylindrical specimens of AC were prepared with optimum binder content, conditioned and tested at 25˚C environment at the chamber of the pneumatic repeated load system (PRLS). Linearly Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) was used to monitor the deformation (total, permanent, and resilient) of the AC beam under each load cycle. The DCS was applied (0.1 sec. load duration and 0.9sec. rest period) to the specimen and the compressive deformation of the specimen was measured under each load repetitions. It was observed that the FN is (200, 150, and 160) at (resilient, permanent, and total) deformation respectively. The deformation at failure was (0.05, 0.76 and 0.9 mm for (resilient, permanent, and total) parts of deformation respectively. It was concluded that linear regression model is formed before reaching the FN with high coefficients of determination. However, after reaching the inflection point which represent the FN of the AC mixture, a power regression model is formed with high coefficients of determination. It is recommended to use the obtained mathematical models for prediction of FN of AC mixtures and to distingush between the types of deformation when practicing DCS processes.
