Changes in physical characteristics of extreme rainfall events during the Indian summer monsoon based on downscaled and bias-corrected CMIP6 models by Stella Jes Varghese, Sreenivas Pentakota, Pushpalatha Thadivalasa, Gopikrishna Podapati, Karumuri Ashok

“…Under SSP5-8.5, extreme rainfall intensity scales with temperature at 1.5 to 2 times the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) rate. While mid-century scenarios show minimal variations in extreme rainfall intensity from the historical period, end-century projections reveal significant shifts; an increase in north India and a decrease in south India due to cloud-induced cooling effects.…”

Utilization of periwinkle and palm kernel shells in load-bearing ecofriendly interlocking concrete paver by Oluwarotimi Olofinnade, Paul Awoyera, Kelvin Edemirukewa, Kunle Ogundipe

“…In recent times, increasing demand for raw aggregate has emphasized the need for construction industry to adopt sustainable practices by exploring alternative materials, such as agro-waste, to address resource depletion and reduce environmental pollution., This current study investigated the suitability of combining discarded periwinkle shell (PWKS) and palm kernel shell (PMKS) at low-replacement volumes to partially substitute granite in ecofriendly load-bearing cement-based interlocking paver units for use on medium-duty traffic roads. 108 paver samples were produced, targeting a 28-day strength of 30 MPa, using a mix proportion of 1:1:2 (cement: sand: granite) and water-cement ratio of 0.50. …”
