At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ... -
Development of Seismic Design Spectra For Shallow and Deep Soil Sites Considering Region Specific Parameters
Earthquakes are among the deadliest in all the natural disasters and have affected many people in the last few decades. The efforts to reduce or mitigate the impact of earthquakes have become increasingly focused upon ... -
Hydrologic Inference: A Complex Systems Approach
The aim of this thesis is to understand linkages between hydrologic processes and patterns from the perspective of a complex system. In hydrologic systems, there exist interactions of hydrologic components among themselves ... -
Macroscopic modelling of heterogeneous, disordered road traffic flow
The groundwork for much of the existing traffic flow theory was laid in the 1950s and 1960s by researchers from developed economies like the United States. The car-following modelling approach, which is arguably the most ... -
Methodologies for Risk Assessment of Landslides Induced by Rainfall and Earthquake
Landslide is one of the greatest natural catastrophes and poses a major threat to lives and property worldwide. As development expands into unstable hill areas under the pressure of increasing population and urbanisation, ... -
Micromechanical modeling of fracture and fatigue behavior of cementitious composites
The ubiquitous use of concrete as a construction material in the civil engineering industry demands a thorough understanding of its failure process under different types of loading. The composite nature of cementitious ... -
Parameter Estimation to Determine the Groundwater Flow and Seawater Intrusion in a Coastal Aquifer of Karnataka, India
Seawater Intrusion (SWI) into the fresh groundwater aquifers is one of the major hydrological problems in coastal regions. This global issue is aggravated by increasing demands for fresh groundwater due to on-going ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Radionuclide Transport for Radioactive Waste Disposal Systems in Soil and Fractured Rocks
The safe management of radioactive waste disposal facilities is increasingly becoming a necessary condition for the future development of nuclear industry. To ensure long-term safety of these disposal facilities, performance ... -
Response of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Elements to Various Mechanical Loads
Reinforced concrete (RC) is being used for a wide range of structural applications. In order to design safe and economical RC structural elements it is necessary to analyse these elements accounting for the realistic ... -
Role of Physico-chemical Processes And Micro-structural Features in Influencing Moisture Loss and Engineering Properties Of Compacted Residual Soils Exposed To Environmental Relative Humidity
The moisture content of residual soils above the water table, and near ground surface (≤ 6 m) is influenced by the environmental relative humidity (RH). The focus of this thesis is to examine the physico-chemical and ... -
Shaking Table Studies on Seismic Response of Unreinforced and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes
Experiences from recent earthquake records all over the world suggest that reinforced soil slopes provide better resistance to the seismic forces and possess higher yield accelerations compared to unreinforced slopes. ... -
A Study on Isogeometric Analysis of Laminated Composite Beams
A myriad of physical processes in engineering and other science branches is represented using differential equations with boundary conditions. Finding the exact solution for the differential equation is quite challenging ...
