Reactive Powder Concrete is a Concrete which does not have fine &coarse aggregate in it. It is due to the high cost in coarse aggregate and at the same time scarcity of the fine aggregate. RPC is also consists of fully a partially replacement of cement .so we are using partially replacement of cement. Where it is a special concrete and the microstructure is optimized by precise degree of all particles in the mix yield to maximum density. It consists of metakaolin, quartz-sand and cement. Here we are replacing coarse and fine aggregate by quartz-sand, and cement is partially replaced by metakaolin. And the percentage of meta kaolin is identified by trial and error method. In this we get the compressive, flexural & split tensile strength of RPC for 28 days

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is a new kind of material with very high mechanical behavior and durability, however, high cost and complex procedure to make RPC result in hardly apply to engineering in large scale. a new low-cost RPC that compressive strength exceeds 130MPa was prepared with the replacement of quartz sand, crushed quartz and partial of silica fume by fly ash, slag and natural fine aggregate in the paper. Manhole cover that made from the low-cost RPC can meets the requirements of different situations, such as special road, motorway, etc.

Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is ultra high strength with advanced mechanical properties. Reactive powder concrete is a concrete without coarse aggregate, contains cement, silica fume, quartz sand, quartz powder, super plasticizer, steel fibre and polypropylene fibre with very low water cement ratio under normal curing condition. RPC has been produce with high compressive strength ranging from upto 800 MPa with high flexural strength up to 50 MPa and in some cases provided with absences of steel reinforcement. Mix proportions of RPC were found by trial and error method, the concrete cubes of size 100mmx100mmx100mm were cast for find compressive strength of NRPC at 7days. Concrete cubes and cylinders of sizes 100mmx100mmx100mm and 100mmx150mm have to be cast for finding compressive strength and split tensile strength at 28 days. Flexural strength of NRPC and MRPC will be find out by casting prism of size 500mmx 100mmx 100 mm. The optimum mix proportion has to be finalized by comparing the results of all concrete specimens. Compressive strength test results shows that addition of silica fume upto 0.22% will increase the compressive strength of reactive powder concrete.

The article focuses on the problems of translation in the field of hermeneutics, understood as a methodology in the activity of an interpreter, the doctrine of the interpretation of texts, as a component of the transmission of information in a communicative aspect. The relevance of the study is caused by the special attention of modern linguistics to the under-researched issues of hermeneutics related to the problems of transmission of foreign language text semantics in translation. The process of translation in the aspect of hermeneutics is regarded as the optimum search and decision-making process, which corresponds to a specific set of functional criteria of translation, which can take many divergent forms. The translator carries out a number of specific translation activities: the choice of linguistic means and means of expression in the translation language, replacement and compensation of nonequivalent units. The search for the optimal solution itself is carried out using the “trial and error” method. The translator always acts as an interpreter. Within the boundaries of a individual utterance, it must be mentally reconstructed as conceptual situations, the mentally linguistic actions of the author, which are verbalized in this text.

The determination of a pair of fundamental units in a totally real cubic field involves two operations—finding a pair of independent units (i.e. such that neither is a power of the other) and from these a pair of fundamental units (i.e. a pair ε1; ε2 such that every unit of the field is of the form with rational integral m, n). The first operation may be accomplished by exploring regions of the integral lattice in which two conjugates are small or else by factorizing small primes and comparing different factorizations—a trial-and-error method, but often a quick one. The second operation is accomplished by obtaining inequalities which must be satisfied by a fundamental unit and its conjugates and finding whether or not a unit exists satisfying these inequalities. Recently Billevitch ((1), (2)) has given a method, of the nature of an extension of the first method mentioned above, which involves less work on the second operation but no less on the first.

The design of extrusion dies depends on the experience of the designer. After the die has been manufactured, it is tested during an extrusion process and machined several times until it works properly. The die is designed by a trial and error method which is expensive interms of time consumption and the amount of scrap. Research is going on to replace the trial pressing with finite element simulations that concentrate on material and tool analysis. In order to validate the tool simulations, an experiment is required for measuring the deformation of the die. Measuring the deformation of the die is faced with two main obstacles: high temperature and little free space. To overcome these obstacles a method is tried, which works by applying a laser beam on a reflecting surface. This cheap method is simple, robust and gives good results. This paper describes measuring the deformation of a flat die used to extrude a single U shape profile. In addition, finite element calculation of the die is performed. Finally, a comparison is performed between experimental and numerical results.

In this letter, a non-reciprocal filter with enhanced directivity is analyzed methodically and the filter parameters are optimized using an evolutionary algorithm. The return loss, insertion loss, and isolation characteristics of the filter exhibit a trade-off that makes manual tuning a trial-and-error method. The veracity of the numerical modeling is conformed by designing a 150 MHz lumped element non-reciprocal bandpass filter based on the parameters extracted using an evolutionary algorithm based particle swarm optimization (PSO). The simulated and measured results comply well with the modeling and the results exhibit maximum directivity of 28.2 dB without degradation in insertion loss (1.1 dB) and return loss (16.2 dB) within the passband. The algorithm can be utilized in designing non-reciprocal filters having different center frequencies and bandwidths.
