Interference Effect of Closely Spaced Square Footings on Geocell Reinforced Sand and Clay Beds: Experimental and Numerical Studies
With rapid growth of construction rate and lack of suitable land sites for construction, placing building foundations close to each other and on soft-grounds is inevitable. When the foundations are placed close enough on ... -
Interference Effects On The Collapse Loads For Footings And Anchors Using An Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis
(2011-02-17)The present thesis is an attempt to investigate the interference effects on the magnitudes of the ultimate failure loads for a group of closely spaced strip footings and strip plate anchors. On account of an increase in ... -
Intraseasonal Variability in Aquaplanet Configuration of Community Atmosphere Model
The Intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) plays an important role to modulate deep convective activity in the tropical region. In this thesis, I aim to understand the role of land and warm oceans in ISO, using a general ... -
Intraseasonal Variability Of The Equatorial Indian Ocean Circulation
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Climatological winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqlO) are westerly most of the year. Twice a year, in April-May ("spring") and October-December ("fall"), strong, sustained westerly winds generate eastward equatorial ... -
Intraseasonal Variations In Sea Level Pressure And Association With Tropical Convection
(2010-07-19)This thesis deals with tropical intraseasonal variation (TISV) having time scales in 20-80 day range. Variations on this time scale have been observed to have profound influence on the weather and climate of the entire ... -
Inverse Material Design using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks and Ontology
Materials design is the process of tailoring materials with specific properties and performance characteristics to meet the particular needs of an application. It involves going back on the process-structure-property (PSP) ... -
