The Civil Engineering Department at Puducherry Technological University (PTU) has positioned itself as a vanguard in both environmental sustainability and geotechnical advancements within the civil engineering domain. The department's dual focus not only on cutting-edge materials and sustainable practices but also on the intricate understanding and improvement of geotechnical properties underscores its comprehensive approach towards addressing contemporary challenges in construction and environmental stewardship. In geotechnical engineering, PTU has embarked on pioneering research aimed at enhancing ground improvement techniques and soil stabilization methods. This includes leveraging calcined clay for construction purposes, a practice that has garnered the department numerous international accolades. By focusing on the utilization of calcined clay, the department is contributing to more sustainable construction methodologies, reducing the environmental impact of construction projects, and improving the durability and stability of infrastructure. These efforts are instrumental in paving the way for more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly construction practices that can be adopted worldwide. One of the key research areas of the department is the development of biohydrogen as part of the green energy drive, moving from laboratory prototypes to commercialization. This involves collaboration among students, scholars, and startups, highlighting the role of technology transfer in promoting sustainable energy solutions. By focusing on biohydrogen, PTU is actively contributing to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and minimizing carbon emissions, showcasing its commitment to energy sustainability. The department's exploration into innovative materials includes the development of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) panels, where traditional steel reinforcement is replaced with non-corrosive mesh reinforcement. This innovation not only leads to a reduction in the concrete material requirement by up to 85% but also extends the application of concrete to new domains, such as aerospace and architecture, due to improved structural and thermal performance. Furthering its commitment to sustainable construction practices, PTU is investigating the use of pervious concrete as a sustainable pavement material, which plays a significant role in storm water management and groundwater recharge. Additionally, the research on alternate materials for aggregates, focusing on recycled waste plastics and crushed glass cullets, addresses the critical issue of natural aggregate scarcity and non-biodegradable waste accumulation. Moreover, the utilization of marine brown algae extract as a natural polymer in construction materials highlights the department's endeavor towards eco-friendly building solutions. This, along with the enhancement of fiber-reinforced concrete beams with GFRP composites, demonstrates PTU's innovative approach to overcoming traditional construction challenges, such as corrosion and maintenance in steel-reinforced structures. The Civil Engineering Department at Puducherry Technological University is thus making significant strides in both environmental sustainability and geotechnical engineering. Its comprehensive research initiatives are not only advancing the knowledge base in these areas but also offering practical solutions that have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry and contribute to a more sustainable future.
