: B.Tech. (Agril. Engg.)

Year of submission : 2003

Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. A.V. Navale

Abstract :

Konkan region is having good climate for raising of horticulture and floriculture produce. So

without much investment in controlling environmental parameter (and it is constructed from locally

available material) the studies can be made so as to have a low cost greenhouse and economic

condition. Land holding of farmer in koankan region is not so good; hence more trace should be given

on more production or income generation from limited recourses and land holding. Also the youths

from konakn region goes to cities like Mumbai to have service, so as to generate self- employment in

koankan region the attempt has been made to study the greenhouse technology.

In this study an attempt has been made to give a low cost technogy for greenhouse and its

application in field.

4. Title : Study of Engineering Properties of Laterite Stone

Name of Candidate : Pawar P.A., Naik S.P.


submitted



Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. S.K.Jain

Abstract :

As the world is heading towards population explosion and there are constraints on

constructional material resources, the search for new avenues has lead to development of using locally

available construction material. Land and water resources are limited by nature.

The study was started with the survey of the quarries of Dapoli Tahsil and collecting samples

with regard to depth and places. Survey included information regarding physical properties like color,

dimensions of samples of various depth and places are used to study various engineering properties of

stones. Study was done based on Indian Standards and reference books.

From results, it was observed that the laterite stone of the Dapoli region has good resistance to

weathering and maintain its shape edges. Stone is found with strength of 2.1 to 3.8 N/mm2

which is

good for construction purpose as per IS codes. Stone has good toughness property but the stone contains

much earthy matters. It is not suitable for construction in the region where temperature is too much low

where freezing condition may occur, because at freezing condition the stone breaks. It has moderate

water absorption capacity, which helps to overcome problem due to heavy rainfall. Therefore, this

project will definitely useful for the people of Konakn region to decide the suitability of laterite stone

for specific construction works based on the properties found.

5. Title : Design of Polyshed Structures for Raising Nursery

Seedlings in Konkan Region

Name of Candidate : Yeole C.R., Chingle K.N.


submitted


Year of submission : 2006.

Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. H. T. Jadhav

Abstract :

In the present scenario of perpetual demand for fruits and vegetables against drastically shrinking

land-holding capacity, a protective cultivation is the best alternative to increase their production round

the year.

Dead load, wind load and imposed loads were calculated for Konkan region, according to IS-

875 Code of Practice for Design Loads for Buildings and Structures. Wind load was found to be

prominent in the design of the structures.

The two structures, one with the side ventilation and other with the side and top ventilation,

were designed according to geo-climatic condition of Konkan region. The load analysis was carried out

using a program STAAD III. After analysis design of purlins and columns were checked by manual

procedure. Foundation was designed by using the values of the support reactions obtained from STAAD

III analysis.

Algae growth, ponding of water, sagging of the film and improper ventilation were some of the

identified problems, with existing nursery polyshed structures, during the study. The efforts were to

eliminate these problems while designing the new structure.

7. Title : Effect of Different Fertilizers Dosage on Mechanical

Properties of Ramie fiber

Name of Candidate : Tanya Joseph


submitted



Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. S.K. Jain

Abstract :

Ramie (Boehmeria nivea ) is one of the oldest fibres principally used for fabric production. The

ramie is native to Eastern Asia. It is a herbaceous perennial growing to about 1.0 to 2.5 m tall and the

leaves are heart shaped and white underside with dense small hairs, giving it a silvery appearance.

With an objective of studying the adaptability and suitability of the ramie crop a research was under

taken at the Department of Agronomy, Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidypeeth, Dapoli.

Different fertilizer treatments were given to the ramie crop and their growth and yield were being

studied. In order to determine if these fertilizer treatments have any effect on the mechanical properties

of the fibre extracted, a research was taken up.

The tenacity of the fibres extracted from the crop grown under treatment T8, where N30 ( 25%

through FYM) P15 K15 kg /ha dosage was given was found to be the highest at 19.07 g/tex, while the

maximum extension at break was found to be 4.4%. For sample T4, where N30 K15 kg /ha dosage was

given the tenacity was found to be slightly higher at 14.77 g/tex, indicating that potassium could play an

important role in increasing the tenacity of the fibre.

However, as the coefficient of variation of the observations made, are quite large, the conclusions

and inferences drawn from this project have low reliability.

Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. H.T. Jadhav

Abstract :

In the present study, the survey of existing structures was carried out to collect the information

related to stability, environmental data, problems etc. The existing structures were failed in the testing

and hence redesigned by using STAAD. Pro software For Konkan geo-climatic conditions, the new two

structures, one with the side ventilation and other with the side and top ventilation, were designed

according to geo-climatic condition of Konkan region. Wind load and imposed loads were calculated for

Konkan region, according to IS-875 Code of Practice for Design Loads for Buildings and Structures.

Wind load was found more prominent in the design of the structures. Foundation was designed by using

the values of the support reactions obtained from STAAD. Pro analysis.

In the existing triangular type redesigned structure, section of maximum bore diameter (i.e. 60

mm) was required for triangular hoops and section of minimum bore diameter (i.e. 76 mm) was required

for purlins and side columns. In the existing semicircular type redesigned structure, section of maximum

bore diameter (i.e.60 mm) was required for semicircular hoops and section of minimum bore diameter

(i.e.48 mm) was required for purlins. In the microtunnel type modified structure, section of maximum

bore diameter (i.e.48 mm) was required for triangular hoops, side column and section of minimum bore

diameter (i.e.42 mm) was required for purlins.

In the nursery polyshed structure with side ventilation, section of maximum bore diameter (i.e.50

Name of Candidate : Gawari R. A. , Pagi S. S., Pedhambkar D. L.


submitted




Abstract :

The two types of structures viz. semicircular and triangular type were used in Konkan region for

nursery seedling production. Among these two structures, the most commonly used structure was

triangular type of polyhsed constructed using MS angles. Average length, width, central height and side

height for triangular type nursery polyshed (MS angle) were found as 18 m, 3.90 m, 2.34 m and 0.7 m

respectively. This structure was analyzed structurally using Staad.pro 2006 and were found under

designed and hence redesigned for Konkan conditions. The member sizes of triangular polyshed (MS

angle) should be ISA 50x50x5 mm instead of ISA 45x30x5 mm for foundation angle, ISA 45x45x5 mm

instead of ISA 25x25x4 mm for hoops and ISA 40x40x5 mm instead of ISA 25x25x4 mm for purlins.

There were few problems identified with the existing nursery polysheds. Due to this, in some

polysheds mortality percentage of seedlings was as high as 60 %. So there was great need of

standardization of protected structure for raising the seedling in the region. Hence, the two new structures

were designed using GI pipes and Bamboo. Staad.pro 2006 software was used for design of GI pipe

polyshed. The shape of structures was kept triangular. The ventilation openings were kept at sides as well

as at top to have better ventilation. The height of side coloumns was kept 2 m for easy access to sides and

corners and due to this one could easily walk through structure.

The average length, width, central height and side height of newly designed GI pipe polyshed

were 18 m, 5.34 m, 3.21 m and 2 m; whereas they were 18m, 4.5 m, 3.30 m and 2 m for newly designed

bamboo polyshed. The structural member sizes of newly designed GI pipe polyshed were Class

“C”(Heavy) 32 mm nominal bore, Class “B” 40 mm nominal bore, Class “B” 32 mm nominal bore and

Class “B” 25 mm nominal bore for foundation pipes, side coloumns, hoops and purlins respectively. In

case of GI pipe structure, the GI full and half clamps both having 42 mm inner diameter were used for

joining purlins with hoops; whereas for bamboo polyshed, MS flat strips were used for joining different

structural members with each other.

The cost of construction of redesigned triangular polyshed (MS angle) was Rs 698/- per m2

area. The construction cost of newly designed polysheds were Rs 628/- per m2 area for GI pipe polyshed

and it was Rs 483/- per m2

area for bamboo polyshed. The construction cost was found minimum for

newly designed triangular polyshed constructed using bamboo.

Name of Candidate : Salvi M.H., Patil N.V.


submitted



Name of Guide /Co-guide : Dr. P. G. Patil

Abstract :

In the Study species of bamboo considered for the greenhouse construction were B. bamboos and

D. Stocksii. These species were selected due to their abundant availability in Konkan region and their

properties suitable for the structural purpose. The structure was analyzed for various loads acting on it

according to IS: 875 (Part I - 5). Code for erection and layout of greenhouse was also referred (IS 14462

- 1997.) The basic wind speed considered was 85 kmph. The value of live load taken was 250 N/m2. The

maximum wind pressure value obtained for the assumed basic wind speed was 516 N/m2. Load

combinations considered were: wind load, live load, wind load plus dead load.

Design included - purlin design, hoop design and columd design. Purlins and hoops which are

supposed to be constructed by using D. stocksii (mes) were found safe to bear the bending stresses acting

on it. Also the middle columns which are supposed to be constructed by using B. bamboos (kalak) were

safe to sustain the bending loads acting on it due to design wind speed. The dimensions i. e, length,

width, eaves height, total height for the bamboo greenhouse were finalized as 24 m, 8 m, 3 m, and 5.5 m

respectively. Roof angle on windward side and leeward side were 32° and 30° respectively and top vent

opening is kept as 0.2 m. Cost of construction of the framework can be saved by 40% as compared to GI

pipes by using bamboo for the construction of framework.

Abstract :

Cow comfort issue is often ignored but then can have serious implications for barn profitability.

Generally, cows are tied in barn for 24 hours. But due to the hard concrete floor and wet surface,

unhygienic conditions are observed. Cows are feeling comfortable in this type of environment and thus it

affects on lying down time of cows. Hard surface leads injuries to cow. Therefore to maintain

cleanliness and hygienic condition in the barn specially made rubber mats were used in the barn. Eight

cross breed and two local breed cows were selected for work according to their body weight. Lying down

time of cows was observed for 24 hours.

Cleanliness and hygienic condition of concrete as well as rubber mats before the cleaning and after the

cleaning of barn was observed. For determination of hygienic condition, score card was used. During

experiment stuff was provided to the cow according to their body weight. The injuries were also

determined by visual observations of cows. During the experiment the average relative humidity and

temperature inside the barn was found 80.39% and 23.23ºC respectively. Lying down time of cows on

rubber mats were increased by 1.46 hours (average) in 24 hours as compared to the concrete floor.

Name of Guide /Co-guide : Er. S.P. Kurhekar

Abstract :

The most bamboos used for structural purposes in rural and tribal housing deteriorate in a

couple of years, putting heavy pressure on the resource, owing to increased demands for frequent

replacements. This adversely affects the supplies of bamboo, even in bamboo rich regions. The presence

of large amounts of starch makes bamboo highly susceptible to attack by staining fungi and powder-post

beetles. Preservation can extend the life of bamboo and can maintain its quality and hence make it

suitable for the use as construction material. Different preservation methods are used for this purpose. In

present study, steeping method was used for treating bamboo by using Boric Acid Borax, Copper

Chrome Boron and Cashew Nut Shell Liquid, Treatment was carried out for 14 day. After treatment,

quality evaluation of bamboo was by cutting bamboo in sample size of 61 cm (2’) and exposing them to

environmental condition. Mechanical properties viz. tensile and compressive of 61 cm (2’) bamboo

(30.5 cm (1’) buried in soil and 30.5 cm (1’) above soil) were determined by using universal testing

machine.

It was observed that for the tensile strength for bamboo treated with Boric Acid Borax,

Copper Chrome Boron and Cashew Nut Shell Liquid was 38.20 N/mm², 30.69 N/mm² and 8.03 N/mm²

for under soil and 48.09 N/mm², 39.09 N/mm² and 9.35 for over soil sample and compressive strength

was 5.04 N/mm², 4.02 N/mm² and 0.39 N/mm² for under soil sample and 5.17 N/mm², 4.87 N/mm² and
