1. AI-Driven Smart Farming Using IoT and Agentic MCP Server

AUTHOR NAME : Utkarsha Gode, Piyush Chafle, Parag Yeole, Vedant Bante, Sunay Gourkhede

ABSTRACT : Rising food demand and shrinking freshwater supplies call for precision agriculture that optimizes resource use without sacrificing yield. This paper presents an AI-driven smart farming architecture combining IoT sensing, cloud data management, and an Agentic MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for autonomous field monitoring and control. An ESP32 microcontroller with a capacitive soil-moisture sensor and DHT22 temperature-humidity sensor collects real-time field data, relayed to the ThingWorx cloud platform. The MCP Server coordinates AI agents that reason over this telemetry using Gemma-class LLMs via the OpenRouter API, triggering a relay-controlled irrigation pump when soil moisture drops below a set threshold. Farmers monitor field status and receive alerts via a React Native mobile app. A two-week trial on a tomato plot shows an average sensor-to-actuation latency of 4.8 seconds, 97.3% irrigation-decision accuracy, and roughly 31% lower water use than schedule-based irrigation. These results show that embedded sensing, cloud infrastructure, and agentic AI reasoning together offer a scalable approach to sustainable farm management.

2. Experimental Study on the Use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Recycled Aggregates for Sustainable Concrete Production

AUTHOR NAME : Prof. Neha Khobragade, Chetan Meshram, Palak Chauhan, Noushaba Khan, Bharti Lanjewar

ABSTRACT : This study looks at using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash as a replacement for some of the cement and Recycled Coarse Aggregate s as a substitute for coarse aggregate in concrete. The goal is to reduce the harm to the environment by lowering the amount of carbon used and saving resources. Concrete mixes were made by replacing cement with SCBA at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% and coarse aggregate with RCA at 0% and 10%. The concrete specimens were then. Tested for strength at 7, 14 and 28 days using standard methods. The results show that the mix with 10% SCBA and 10% RCA is the choice for balancing strength and being good for the environment. This mix was strong with a strength of 15.5 MPa at 7 days and 24.5 MPa at 28 days. Using 10% SCBA of some of the cement did not make the concrete much weaker at first but it got stronger later on because of the way the SCBA reacts. However, using 15% SCBA made the weaker. Using 10% RCA also made the concrete a little weaker. It was still strong enough when used with 10% SCBA.

3. Review on the Use of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash and Recycled Aggregates for Sustainable Concrete Production

AUTHOR NAME : Prof. Neha Khobragade, Chetan Meshram, Palak Chauhan, Noushaba Khan, Bharti Lanjewar

ABSTRACT : The demand for building materials is rising. This has led to a search for resources to reduce the environmental impact of traditional concrete. This study looks at using Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) to replace some cement and Recycled Aggregates (RA) of natural aggregates. SCBA, which comes from the sugar industry has properties that help make concrete stronger and more durable because it has a lot of silica. Recycled aggregates, made from construction waste help save resources and reduce waste in landfills. Many studies have found that using the amount of SCBA and RA can make concrete that is strong and good for the environment. The study shows that using SCBA and RA together is a way to make concrete that is friendly to the environment does not cost a lot and uses resources wisely. This kind of concrete is suitable, for building practices today. Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Recycled Aggregates (RA) can help make concrete. Using SCBA and RA can make construction more sustainable.

4. Design and Analysis of Underwater Tunnel

AUTHOR NAME : Prof. Preeti Morey, Vishal D. Chopade, Sofiya R. Nagrare, Bhagyashri R. janwe, Sujit A. Mehshram

ABSTRACT : The development of underwater tunnels is a critical advancement in modern transportation engineering, enabling efficient connectivity across water bodies while minimizing environmental and surface disruption. This study focuses on the structural analysis and modelling of an underwater tunnel using ABAQUS and Autodesk Revit. The tunnel model is developed in Revit to create a detailed 3D representation, including geometry, reinforcement detailing, and alignment. The generated model is then analyzed in ABAQUS using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate structural performance under various loading conditions such as dead load, live load (vehicular load), soil pressure, and hydrostatic pressure. The study considers realistic boundary conditions and material properties to simulate actual site conditions. The results obtained include stress distribution, deformation characteristics, and factor of safety of the tunnel structure. The analysis shows that the maximum stress and displacement values remain within permissible limits, indicating that the design is structurally safe and stable. This integration of BIM and FEA tools enhances accuracy, visualization, and efficiency in tunnel design. Overall, the study demonstrates that the combined use of Revit and ABAQUS provides a reliable and effective approach for designing and analyzing underwater tunnels, ensuring safety, durability, and optimal performance.

5. Experimental Investigation of Recycled Concrete using Demolished Waste Materials

AUTHOR NAME : Prof. Priyanka M. Nagdeve, Monali A. Paunikar, Gayatri L. Thakur, Aryani Dupare

ABSTRACT : The rapid growth of construction activities has increased the demand for natural aggregates and generated a large quantity of demolition waste. This study focuses on the utilization of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate in M30 grade concrete. Experimental investigation was carried out by replacing natural aggregate with RCA at 10%, 15%, and 20%. Compressive strength and split tensile strength tests were conducted at 7, 14, and 28 days. The results indicate that up to 30% replacement provides satisfactory performance with only a slight reduction in strength. The use of recycled aggregates helps in reducing environmental pollution and promotes sustainable construction practices.

6. A Review on Sustainable Paver Blocks Using Plastic Waste and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash

AUTHOR NAME : Dr. Sanjay Mahajan, Dhanshree Sakhare, Krish Dohale, Ruchit Randhaye, Siddhi Pandey

ABSTRACT : Plastic waste and sugarcane bagasse ash are increasing every year and causing problems for the environment. In many places, these materials are thrown away and not used properly. Because of this, researchers are trying to find a simple way to reuse them. One useful method is to use them in making paver blocks. In this paper, some previous studies are reviewed to understand how plastic waste and sugarcane bagasse ash can be used in construction. From these studies, it is seen that melted plastic can act like a binder and help in holding sand and ash together. It is also found that the strength of paver blocks mainly depends on how the materials are mixed. If the proportion is proper, the blocks can give good strength, but if too much ash is added, the strength may reduce. Based on this understanding, it is planned to prepare paver blocks using recycled plastic waste, sand, and sugarcane bagasse ash. These blocks are expected to be strong enough for light traffic use like footpaths and gardens. This method can also help in reducing waste and making construction more environment friendly.
