Civil Engineering Faculty Publish Research in Q2 SCIE Journal

Anurag University congratulates Mr. K. Hajarath, Dr. Joshi Sreenivasa Prasad, and Dr. K. Sunil Kumar Rajeshwar from the Department of Civil Engineering on the successful publication of their research paper titled "Sustainability Evolution of Coal Gangue and GGBS Based Alkali Activated Binder" in the International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization. The journal is indexed in SCIE, ranked in the Q2 quartile, and has an H-Index of 41. The paper is published under DOI: 10.1080/19392699.2026.2705332.

The research explores the use of coal gangue and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) to develop sustainable alkali-activated binders as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional construction materials. The study contributes to advancing green construction practices by promoting the utilization of industrial by-products, reducing carbon emissions, and improving the sustainability of modern infrastructure.

Research on sustainable construction materials continues to play a vital role in addressing environmental challenges while supporting the development of resilient infrastructure. This publication reflects the university's commitment to impactful engineering research and reinforces its growing contributions to sustainable materials and innovative construction technologies.
