A 3D Lattice Model For Fracture Of Concrete : A Multiscale Approach
(2013-09-10)It is quite well known that fracture behavior of concrete is complex and is influenced by several factors. Apart from material properties, geometric parameters influence fracture behavior and one notable phenomenon is size ... -
Identification Tools For Smeared Damage With Application To Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements
(2011-01-10)Countries world-over have thousands of critical structures and bridges which have been built decades back when strength-based designs were the order of the day. Over the years, magnitude and frequency of loadings on these ... -
Localization Induced Base Isolation In Fractionally And Hysteretically Damped Nonlinear Systems
(2009-08-04)This Thesis comprises of two parts containing similar studies of Nonlinear Localization induced Base Isolation of structural systems. The present method of base isolation,like other nonlinear vibration isolation methods, ... -
Reduced Order Modeling Of Stochastic Dynamic Systems
(2010-07-23)Uncertainties in both loading and structural characteristics can adversely affect the response and reliability of a structure. Parameter uncertainties in structural dynamics can arise due to several sources. These include ... -
Some Studies On Numerical Models For Fracture Of Concrete
(2013-07-02)Concrete has established itself as the most widely used structural material. There is hardly any place where human life and concrete structure do not exist together. It's use is seen in wide variety of structures like ...
