Reliability And Response Uncertainty Analyses Of Piping And Shutdown Systems Of Nuclear Power Plants Under Seismic Loading
(2013-05-20)Earthquake safety engineering of nuclear power plant structures poses several challenges to the analyst and designer. These problems are characterized by highly transient and dynamic nature of earthquake induced excitations, ... -
Reliability based analysis and design of slopes and tunnels in rock mass
Structures in rock mass such as slopes and tunnels form an important segment in the infrastructure development of a country. Rock mass consists of intact rock matrix with numerous discontinuities that can be represented ... -
Reliability Based Approach for Evaluation of MSW Landfill Designs and Site Selection using GIS
(2018-02-28)Dumping of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated due to anthropogenic activities in any barren land or out fields causes severe hazards to human populations, ecosystems and the environment. In order to avoid this, it is ... -
Reliability Based Design Methods Of Pile Foundations Under Static And Seismic Loads
(2010-09-03)The properties of natural soil are inherently variable and influence design decisions in geotechnical engineering. Apart from the inherent variability of the soil, the variability may arise due to measurement of soil ... -
Remedial Measures For Alkali Induced Heave In Soils
(2010-07-15)Sub-surface soil pollution by various processes with high concentration of contaminants can significantly alter geotechnical properties of soils causing unexpected failures of structures founded on them. The changes can ... -
Repair and Retrofit Strategies for Structural Concrete against Thermo-Mechanical Loadings
(2018-01-29)Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures have become an important aspect in most of the buildings in our society around the world. Most of the multistoried reinforced concrete buildings house important institutions such ... -

A Residual Based h-Adaptive Strategy Employing A Zero Mean Polynomial Reconstruction
(2016-04-18)This thesis deals with the development of a new adaptive algorithm for three-dimensional fluid flows based on a residual error estimator. The residual, known as the R –parameter has been successfully extended to three ... -
Residual Error Estimation And Adaptive Algorithms For Fluid Flows
(2011-03-16)The thesis deals with the development of a new residual error estimator and adaptive algorithms based on the error estimator for steady and unsteady fluid flows in a finite volume framework. The aposteriori residual error ... -
Resin flow in porous preform during VARTM: A theoretical and experimental investigation
In recent times, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have received enormous attention due to their exhibited improved mechanical properties, lightweight and design flexibility to manufacture large structures as an ... -
Resonances and beats in nonlinear structural acoustic waveguides
In this thesis that is entirely analytical in nature, nonlinear wave propagation in various structural-acoustic waveguide geometries is studied. The waveguides considered include a circular cylindrical waveguide with a ... -
Resource Allocation for Natural Disasters using a Game-theoretic Framework
The occurrence of a severe natural disaster causes loss of life and destruction of properties. The overall criticality of the disaster depends on the nature of the disaster and the physical characteristics of the affected ... -
Response And Reliability Analyses Of Soil Nail Walls
(2011-04-01)In the present thesis, studies on the response of soil nail walls subjected to static and seismic conditions using finite element based numerical simulations and the principle of reliability analysis have been performed. ... -
Response of Geosynthetic Reinforced Granular Bases Under Repeated Loading
(2018-06-21)Key factors that influence the design of paved and unpaved roads are the strength and stiffness of the pavement layers. Among other factors, the strength of pavements depends on the thickness and quality of the aggregates ... -
Response of Granular Materials Towards Blast Loading
Granular media, such as sand, soil, and rocks, are commonly encountered in various engineering and geotechnical applications, and their response to blast loading is of significant interest. In this master’s thesis, the ... -
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 ... -
