Efficient Cluster Based Data Collection Using Mobile Data Collector for Wirel...ijceronline
Establishing an efficient data gathering scheme in wireless sensor networks is a challenging task. Lot of researches has been carried out to establish energy efficient data gathering scheme to avoid heavy traffic received by the nodes near the sink. Data gathering scheme is a significant factor in determining the network lifetime. In this paper we propose an efficient data gathering scheme by introducing clustering and mobility into the wireless sensor network. We consider data collection in wireless sensor networks by utilizing mobile data collector and cluster heads. Cluster heads are chosen and clusters are formed to collect data from the sensor nodes. The proposed scheme finds the shortest tour for the mobile data collector to collect data from the cluster heads. The shortest tour saves time and energy in data gathering.

Smarter fibres for better concrete
Precisely engineered for strength and ductility
For concrete to be durable, it needs to be both strong and ductile.
This is exactly what Bekaert aims for with its new Dramix®
series. By
carefully balancing wire properties – shape, strength, and
ductility – and combining it with stronger anchorage, the new 5D and
4D series reach previously unseen levels in concrete performance.
All Dramix®
series are available in a wide range of l/d ratios.
This enables you to further optimize Dramix®
steel fibres for use in
your specific application, to create different types of concrete quality,
and to comply with the most demanding durability specifications.

Designed for durability
Anchorage strength
The hooked ends of Dramix®
3D
ensure the desired fibre pull-out.
This is the mechanism which
actually generates the renowned
concrete ductility and post-crack
strength.
The improved anchorage of
Dramix®
4D utilizes the same
principle but translates it to
greater steel strengths.
Dramix®
5D, in contrast, is
shaped to form the perfect
anchor; the pull-out mechanism
is replaced by fibre elongation.
Wire strength
The tensile strength of a steel
fibre has to increase in parallel
with the strength of its anchorage.
Only in this way can the fibre
resist the forces acting upon it.
Otherwise it would snap, causing
the concrete to become brittle.
On the other hand, a stronger
wire cannot be fully utilized with
an ordinary anchor design.
Therefore the tensile strength of a
fibre has to be perfectly aligned
with its anchorage system and
its diameter. Dramix®
3D, 4D,
and 5D are each designed to
capitalize on the wire strength
to the maximum degree.
Wire ductility
Wire ductility and concrete
ductility are two different aspects.
Dramix®
3D and 4D create
concrete ductility by the slow
deformation of the hook during
the pull-out process, and not by
the ductility of the wire itself.
This is different for the
Dramix®
5D. Due to the “perfect
anchor” design, the fibre cannot
be pulled out and does not move
in the concrete. Instead the wire
is elongated, providing the
ductility on the same principle
as classic reinforcement steel.
This is only possible with a
superior and exceptional quality
of ductile steel wire.

Steel fibre concrete strength
The ductility and post-crack
strength of steel fibre concrete
are determined by many
different aspects, including
concrete composition, fibre
length and aspect l/d ratio.
A major driver of performance is
also a balanced combination of
anchorage design, wire strength,
and wire ductility.
All Dramix®
steel fibres are
engineered to provide optimal
performance for different
applications—3D for common
usage, 4D for durable and
liquid-tight surfaces, and 5D for
the most demanding structural
applications. The latter achieves
performance levels which until
now could only be provided by
traditional reinforcement.

The pull-out test clearly illustrates the different workings of the three Dramix® fibre types. The hook in the 3D and 4D
series slowly deforms during the pull-out process, while the 5D hook stays firmly rooted, but the wire is elongated to
create ductility in the concrete.

all over the world. Over the years, Dramix®
has proven itself as an extremely durable reinforce-
ment solution. Bekaert has built up considerable know-how in steel fibre reinforcement and
has invested heavily in the continuous development of one of its most important building
products.
40 years of pioneering
Bekaert has been a true pioneer
when it comes to steel fibre
reinforcement. Bekaert was the
first company to recognize the
enormous potential that this new
technology brings to the building
world and took a license to
commercialize the steel fibres as
far back as 1970. We also set up
a worldwide production platform
with multiple dedicated plants for
the manufacture of Dramix®
steel
fibres. Since 2010, all Dramix®
plants have been ISO 14001
certified.
40 years of innovating
Bekaert was not satisfied with
just being a pioneer and
committed to developing steel
fibres for concrete reinforcement
even further, in order to fully
realize their vast potential.
Bekaert has continuously
invested in research and
development, and worked on
all aspects of the fibres, including
shapes, l/d ratios, coatings,
usage, dosing equipment, and
applications. In many cases,
Bekaert worked in close
cooperation with academic
institutions and clients.
40 years of testing
Since its first introduction,
Dramix®
steel fibre reinforcement
has become a proven technology.
It has been extensively tested by
engineers all over the world and
researched by universities. It has
been successfully applied in a
wide array of buildings and
construction projects. It has been
approved by international
regulators. In 2007, Dramix®
became the first steel fibre to
obtain CE marking Class 1 for
structural use.

“During the tests in our labo
ratory, I was astonished about
the strength of the Dramix®
5D
fibre. In comparison with
conventional steel fibers it has
an impressive performance.
This fibre certainly opens up
a lot of possibilities for new
applications with steel fibre
reinforced concrete.”
The day after testing to failure,
most bending cracks were
closed again, proving the
concept of the 5D wire.

Make it happen!
Dramix®
has enabled building professionals all over the world
to overcome major technical, structural, and engineering
challenges. The result has been some of the most
ambitious construction projects the world has ever seen.
Ski slope Switzerland
Every year, thousands of winter
sports enthusiasts enjoy this
spectacular new ski slope in
Einsiedeln, Switzerland. Dramix®
was used to create the perfect,
liquid-tight slope.
CCTV Tower
Designed by architects Rem
Koolhaas and Ole Scheeren, the
CCTV Tower has become one of
the iconic landmarks of Beijing. The
tower serves as the headquarters
for China Central Television CCTV).
It was officially opened 1 January
2008 – in time for the Summer
Olympics of that year. Construction
of the building presented
everyone involved with major
structural challenges. It was not
just the radical shape and the
considerable height of the tower,
but also its location in an active
seismic zone. During construction,
steel fibre reinforced concrete
was pumped from ground level
to a height of 240 metres.
Dramix®
steel fibres were used in
combination with rebar and self-
compacting concrete. Together
this created optimal tensile
strength, eliminated cracks, and
guaranteed maximum safety.
Gardens by the Bay
Located in the heart of the city, Gardens by the Bay will transform
Singapore from a “garden city” to a “city in a garden”. Spanning 101
hectares, it consists of three waterfront gardens – Bay South, Bay East,
and Bay Central. The largest of the three, Bay South, will be opened to
the public in 2012. Dramix®
was an essential ingredient to guarantee the
durability of the indoor floors.

Maison de l’écriture
The Maison de l’écriture in
Montricher, Switzerland provides
writers with a temporary
residence and all the facilities
they need to concentrate on their
work. The idyllic environment
offers a beautiful view over both
Lake Geneva and the Alps. But
the building itself, with its
openwork roof in white concrete,
is also a marvel to look at.
Dramix®
steel fibres played an
essential role in the realization of
this ambitious construction.
Oceanographic Park
Situated in Valencia, Spain. L’Oceanogràfic is the largest marine park in
Europe at 111,000 m2
, 42 million litres of water, and more than 45,000
animals.
The spectacular entrance to the park is characterized by its thin shell
structure and its unique parabolic curvature. To realize this remarkable
design in a precise, safe, and durable way, Dramix®
steel fibres were
used in combination with a single mesh.
Dramix®
has inspired architects to invent new ways of
expressing themselves with concrete and realize some
of their most creative and visionary works – without
compromising safety, cost-efficiency, or durability.
