Development And Design Optimization Of Laminated Composite Structures Using Failure Mechanism Based Failure Criterion
(2009-04-27)
In recent years, use of composites is increasing in most fields of engineering such as aerospace, automotive, civil construction, marine, prosthetics, etc., because of its light weight, very high specific strength and ...
Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)
Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ...
Inverse Sensitivity Methods In Linear Structural Damage Detection Using Vibration Data
(2009-06-29)
The thesis addresses the problem of structural damage detection using inverse sensitivity based methods. The focus here is on characterization with regard to identification, location, and, quantification of structural ...
Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model
(2009-06-30)
Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering ...
A Study On Inelastic Response Of Multi-Storey Buildings To Near-field Ground Motions
(2009-07-21)
With the advancement in knowledge of inelastic response of structures, the design and construction practices of reinforced concrete buildings have been changing worldwide. Most of the codes are incorporating the near-fault ...
Passive Earth Pressure Coefficients And There Applications In The Uplift Capacity Of Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-13)
The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ...
Numerical Modeling Of Jointed Rock Mass
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-28)
The behavior of jointed rock mass is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as location of joints, joint frequency, joint orientation and joint strength. A thorough review of literature on different aspects ...
Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ...
Engineering Behaviour Of Ash-Modified Soils Of Karnataka
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-22)
During a survey of black cotton soil zones of Karnataka, indigenously stabilized black cotton soil deposits were encountered in Belgaum, Bijapur, Bagalkot and Gadag Districts of Karnataka. These modified black cotton soils ...
Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)
Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ...
