Abstract: Long-term performance of pavement structures is significantly impacted by the stability of the underlying soils. In situ subgrades often do not provide enough support required to achieve acceptable performance under traffic loading and environmental demands. NovoCrete® is a powder binder mineral for cement stabilized road pavements soils. NovoCrete® combined with Portland cement at optimum water content increases the crystallize formations during the hydration process, resulting in higher strengths, neutralizes pH levels, and provides water impermeability. These changes in soil properties may lead to transforming existing unsuitable in-situ materials into suitable fill materials. It can be used also for stabilization of recyclable aggregates and old asphalt pavement aggregate, etc. In the road construction works, this binder material is used for cement stabilization works. In the applications usually 120-180 kg cement is used for 1 m3 of soil with a 2 % of binder NovoCrete® material fo

Abstract: The concept of reconfigurable manufacturing system has emerged drastically as it reduces the product lead time and meets with the market demand efficiently. The performance of a manufacturing system lies on a set of planning and scheduling data incorporated with the machining capabilities keeping in view the market demands. The proposed work focuses on the formulation of an optimal framework for production over part families. Machine’s kinematic configurations are generated considering tool’s degree of freedom. The application of non-dominating sorting genetic algorithms over machine configurations makes this approach more reliable. A case study has been presented to illustrate the application of proposed model based on the technological constraints.
