1. Data collection and management related to concrete flooring for the development of a digital platform supporting the flooring industry 2. Slab-on-grade floor design based on various national and international guidelines

1. Production of polymer modified bitumen in the laboratory scale blending unit . The challenge was to optimize the processing conditions during blending and homogenization (temperature, RPM, and time duration) such that one meets the required PMB40 parameter as per IS 15462:2004. 2. Rheological Characterization: In addition to the Performance Grade and MSCR, creep-recovery, stress relaxation, and shear rate sweep test are performed on the polymer modified bitumen

1. Production of polymer modified bitumen in the laboratory scale blending unit – for two different kinds of bitumen 2. Rheological Characterization: In addition to the Performance Grade and MSCR, creep-recovery, stress relaxation, and shear rate sweep test are performed on the polymer modified bitumen3. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR): Characterization of the aging compound through FTIR analysis. The task included sample preparation, recording of the spectra and post-processing of results using ORIGIN software
