Experimental Study on Application of Geogrid in Concrete to Improve its Flexural Strength -- Water Quality Assessment for Batupahat River Basin, Malaysia -- Effect of Graphene Oxide and Crumb Rubber on the Drying Shrinkage Behaviour of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC): Experimental Study, RSM – Based Modelling and Optimization -- Experimental Study on Alternative Material for Conventional Fine and Coarse Aggregate in Concrete -- Analysis of Traffic Signal Delays in Erode City using VISSIM -- Replacement of Polyethylene Bags by Bioplastics using Solanum Tuberosum.

This book presents the select proceedings of the international conference on Sustainable Practices and Innovations in Civil Engineering 2021 (SPICE 2021). The topics covered include the addition and replacement of cementitious materials in concrete, thereby enhancing the strength and durability characteristics of concrete, instrumentation and testing in structural engineering, ground improvement techniques, water management, waste management, and energy efficiency and sustainability in construction. It also includes few papers in the area of environmental civil engineering and discusses key issues in the field of water resources and the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry. This book is a valuable reference to the students, researchers, and professionals in the field of civil engineering.
