Computational Studies on the Mechanics of Nanotubes and Nanocomposites
(2018-01-09)
The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 by Iijima revealed the possibility of ultra-strong materials exploiting the properties of materials at smaller length scales. The superior strength, stiffness, and ability ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Geopolymers as Construction Materials
(2018-01-09)
Geopolymers are a relatively new class of materials that have many broad applications, including use as substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC), use in soil stabilisation, fire resistant panels, refractory cements, ...
Seismic Hazard Assessment of Tripura and Mizoram States along with Microzonation of Agartala and Aizawl Cities
(2018-02-10)
Tee present research focuses on seismic hazard studies for the states of Tripura and Mizoram in the North-East India with taking into account the complex sesismotectonic characteristics of the region. This area is more ...
Charaterization of Sand-Rubber Mixture and Numerical Analysis for Vibration Isolation
(2018-02-20)
Scrap tyres provide numerous advantages from the viewpoint of civil engineering practices. Scrap tyres are light weight, have high vibration absorption, high elastic compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and ...
Uncertainty Based Damage Identification and Prediction of Long-Time Deformation in Concrete Structures
(2018-02-20)
Uncertainties are present in the inverse analysis of damage identification with respect to the given measurements, mainly the modelling uncertainties and the measurement uncertainties. Modelling uncertainties occur due to ...
Effect of Particle Shape on the Mechanical Behaviour of Granular Media : Discrete Element Simulations
(2018-03-08)
Granular materials are characterized by its discrete nature which makes their behaviour very complex to understand when subjected to various loading situations. Comparing other materials, the understanding of granular ...
Time Dependent Deformations and High Temperature Effects on Different Types of Concrete : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-03-01)
Estimating the delayed strains in concrete, namely creep and shrinkage is very important to asses the condition of the structure. Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in ...
CHM (Chemo-Hydro-Mechanical) Behavior of Barmer-1 Bentonite in the Context of Deep Geological Repositories for Safe Disposal of Nuclear Waste
(2018-03-21)
Deep geological repository (DGR) for disposal of high-level radioactive waste
(HLW) is designed to rely on successive superimposed barrier systems to isolate the
waste from the biosphere. This multiple barrier system ...
Predictability of Nonstationary Time Series using Wavelet and Empirical Mode Decomposition Based ARMA Models
(2018-04-06)
The idea of time series forecasting techniques is that the past has certain information about future. So, the question of how the information is encoded in the past can be interpreted and later used to extrapolate events ...
Numerical Investigation of Masonry Infilled RC Frames Subjected to Seismic Loading
(2018-02-21)
Reinforced concrete frames, infilled with brick/concrete block masonry, are the most common type of structures found in multi-storeyed constructions, especially in developing countries. Usually, the infill walls are ...
