    Variation in geotechnical properties of expansive soil by adding jute fibre reinforcement
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-07) Jain, Vaibhav; Gupta, Sandeep
    Improvement in soil sub grade has always been an area of concern to Road transport and geotechnical engineers. In the case of a road, a weak sub grade results in a greater thickness of pavement layer which increases the cost of pavement construction. To strengthen the subgrade soil, the use of jute fibre is advantageous because they are cheap, easily available, and eco-friendly. Jute fibre mixed randomly with subgrade soil has significant positive impact on the improvement of subgrade characteristics Keeping this in view an experimental study was conducted on locally available soil reinforced with Jute fibre. In this study the soil samples were prepared at its maximum dry density corresponding to the optimum moisture content in the CBR value with and without Jute fibre reinforcement. The Jute fibre was mixed in 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00%, 1.25%, 1.50%, 1.75% and 2.00% of dry weight of soil with original soil. In the present investigation the length of fibre was taken as 30 mm. On these mixes of soil various tests of strength properties like Standard Proctor tests, California bearing ratio tests (CBR) and Unconfined compressive strength test, Tri-axial test was performed to analyse the shear parameter cohesion and angle of friction of soil. On addition of increasing percentage of Jute fibre, the OMC indicated increasing trends and MDD indicated decreasing trends continuously. Unsoaked and soaked values of CBR, UCS values and triaxial shear parameter showed an increasing trend with increasing percentages of Jute fibre till 1.25 % fibre content and after this, the value showed a decreasing trend. The economical analysis was done on natural and modified soil sample on the behalf of original CBR value and the optimum value of CBR. Soil mixes with Jute fibre indicates the total 155 mm, crust thickness has been saved. Total saving calculated in the construction of per km of pavement crust is found to be of Rs. 2.77 Lacs, if the pavement is constructed on the modified sub grade instead of natural soil subgrade.that improvement the overall engineering characteristics of the soil.

    Lambadi and Koya tribal costumes and textiles of Andhra Pradesh: a source for embellishment of contemporary apparel and accessory items
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-07) Sindhu, Godi; Shahnaj Jahan
    The traditional costumes of any community or tribe can be affected by the development and change of time. Therefore, an attempt has been made to restore the information of traditional costumes and textiles of Lambadi and Koya tribes through documentation, before it gets completely diminished. So that one can gets detailed information regarding the traditional costumes and textiles used by the tribes of Andhra Pradesh. The contemporary apparel and accessories were also prepared based on the collected information. Total 159 respondents were selected by using purposive sampling from 2 villages namely pedda thanda of nuziveedu town and gudem of jangareddygudem town which are belonging to Krishna district and West Godavari districts respectively from the state of Andhra Pradesh. The structured interview schedule was prepared and the data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The results revealed that sado (sari) and jacket (blouse), langa (skirt), kanchali (blouse) and tukri (dupatta), langa, kanchali and voni, langa and kanchali, phetia, kanchali and tukri were the traditional garments of Lambadi females, whereas, ankle length, calf length and knee length koka (sari) and ravika (blouse), lungi and ravika, koka without ravika were the traditional garments of Koya tribe. The male traditional garments of Lambadi tribe included lungi and jhagla, dhoti and jubba, pants and dovathi, whereas the traditional garments of Koya male included lungi and chokka (shirt), gochi (loin cloth), gochi and jubba, langa and chokka, pancha and kurta and dovathi. The traditional textiles of both the tribes were similar and included rumal/thundu (hand towel), duppati/jampkhana (bed sheet), raggu (blanket), bontha (quilt), madatha mancham fabric (folding bed), navvara, saaluva (shawl) and dindi (pillow). The contemporary apparel and accessories of Lambadi and Koya were also studied and the results revealed that the costumes of male included pant and shirt, jeans, T-shirt, shorts, kurta and dhoti etc whereas the female costume included chudidar, kurti, long skirt, half sari, middies, lehenga choli etc,. and it was noticed that the contemporary costumes of one tribe are similar with the other tribe. Total 32 motifs were collected from the apparel of Lambadi women, as no embellishment was found on Koya apparel. The collected motifs were divided into 4 categories namely embroidery, combination of embroidery and appliqué, designs for bead and mirror work, i.e, 8 motifs in each category. The collected motifs were modified through Corel Draw and evaluated. Three motifs in each category which got the highest weighted mean score were selected. The next evaluation was done to evaluate suitable embroidery stitch for the selected motif by giving the option of 3 stitches for each motif. The selected motifs were arranged on contemporary apparel for college going students, namely kurti, top, long skirt and palazzo and accessories namely stole and hand bag. The arrangement of motifs were made on each product in 4 different styles and evaluated on the basis of suitability, combination and placement of motif. The arrangement which got the highest weighted mean score was selected for each product. Thereafter products were stitched, hand embroidered with selected motifs, stitch and arrangement. Finally the prepared hand embroidery products were visually assessed on parameters such as combination of motifs in the arrangement, suitability and placement of motifs on the garment, suitability of embroidery stitches, fineness of embroidery, color combination and overall appearance by college going girls. All the prepared products were highly accepted and most of the respondents stated that they would certainly purchase these items if commercially available. It can be concluded that the documentation will be definitely useful for the fashion industry. The designs of tribal costume will also be useful for embellishing the other contemporary apparel and accessories, as the work done under the study has been appreciated by most of the consumers.
