Abstract

Interlocking brick masonry has quickly acquired acceptance as a viable alternative to traditional bricks for building residential structures in a number of foreign nations. Making Interlocking bricks lightweight, inexpensive, and better able to withstand hostile situations is never easy. This research presents the findings of an associate degree experimental inquiry that tested the compressive strength, water absorption, and density of materials made up of sand, fly ash, cement, and rice husk in various percentages. The experimental results were compared to those of regular Fly Ash brick and interlocking brick, which were determined to be robust enough for use in the construction of sustainable structures and durable in hostile conditions.Outcomes of this paper main focus is on finding ways to make interlocking bricks stronger in compression without sacrificing their economic value.
Keywords- Concrete replacement, Fine aggregate , Machining waste

Abstract

 This is a challenge of modern day HR, managing multigenerational workforces. As Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millenials and Generation Z all represent distinct work preference groups HR needs to implement custom made strategies that take Employee Engagement (EE) a notch up. Name of the author: Abstract This research is done to study how HR variables, Employee Training (ET), Employee Benefits (EB), Employee Pay (EP) & Performance Management (PM) have direct impact on Employee Engagement and what effect it has on employee engagement in multigenerational workforce. Human cene, Employee Training caters to diverse skills and preference saw available to suit different generations, given the individual shape of learning enables employee competence and motivation in time. Employee Benefits: Health plans, retirement schemes and flexible work options are crucial to cater the unique needs of different generations resulting in higher engagement. Keywords: Employee Training, Employee Benefits, Employee Pay, Performance Management, Employee Engagement, multigenerational workforce, HR strategies.
