Regional Hydrologic Impacts Of Climate Change
(2016-06-27)
Climate change could aggravate periodic and chronic shortfalls of water, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas of the world (IPCC, 2001). Climate change is likely to accelerate the global hydrological cycle, with increase ...
Seismic Microzonation Of Lucknow Based On Region Specific GMPE's And Geotechnical Field Studies
(2016-09-09)
Mankind is facing the problem due to earthquake hazard since prehistoric times. Many of the developed and developing countries are under constant threats from earthquakes hazards. Theories of plate tectonics and engineering ...
Pozzolanic Additives To Control Dispersivity Of Soil
(2016-11-13)
The aim of the present investigation is to improve the geotechnical properties of
dispersive soil by reducing their dispersivity after elucidating the important mechanisms controlling the dispersivity of the soils. ...
Soil Moisture Modelling, Retrieval From Microwave Remote Sensing And Assimilation In A Tropical Watershed
(2016-03-01)
The knowledge of soil moisture is of pronounced importance in various applications e.g. flood control, agricultural production and effective water resources management. These applications require the knowledge of spatial ...
Behaviour Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Aggregate Systems Under Static, Repeated And Cyclic Loads
(2016-04-26)
Efficient road network and connectivity play vital role in the development of any country. Majority of the rural roads are unpaved and connectivity of rural roads is always a major challenge. Unpaved roads are also used ...
Experimental Determination And New Correlations For Multi-Component Solid Solubilities In Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
(2016-03-02)
The fluids that are operated above their critical temperature and pressure are
known as supercritical fluids (SCFs). SCFs replaces the conventional organic solvents
in the chemical processes due to their attractive ...
Tensile Behavior Of Free-Standing Pt-Aluminide (PtAl) Bond Coats
(2016-05-03)
Pt-aluminide (PtAl) coatings form an integral part of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems that are applied on Ni-based superalloy components operating in the hot sections of gas turbine engines. These coatings serve as ...
An Investigation On The Effect Of Structural And Microstructural Attributes On Magnetostriction Of Tb-Dy-Fe And Fe-Ga Alloys
(2016-04-26)
Giant magnetostrictive RFe2 type (R represents rare earths) intermetallics form an important class of magnetic materials keeping in view of their potential applications as sensors and/ or actuators. In this thesis, one ...
