DR. BINDIGANAVILE USES NANOLIME TO REPAIR KRS DAM
The Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam is an significant irrigation and drinking water source for the people of Mysore, Mandya, and Bengaluru. Built nearly a hundred years ago, the dam now suffers from major structural deficiencies.
Dr. Bindiganavile and his research team have developed a novel Nanolime material that can improve structural strength and can help retrofitted heritage structures more effectively. Compared to Portland cement mortars, the addition of Nanolime improves water permeability of lime mortar by nearly two orders of magnitude.
The research team traveled to Mysore, India and applied their novel repair material on damaged areas of the KRS Dam.
