Development Of Methods For Structural Reliability Analysis Using Design And Analysis Of Computer Experiments And Data Based Extreme Value Analysis
(2010-08-26)
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of computational modeling of reliability of engineering structures. The emphasis of the study is on developing methods that are suitable for analysis of large-scale structures ...
Steady State Dynamics Of Systems With Fractional Order Derivative Damping Models
(2011-01-10)
Rubber like materials find wide applications in damping treatment of structures, vibration isolations and they appear prominently in the form of hoses in many structures such as aircraft engines. The study reported in this ...
Time Dependent Deformations in Normal And Heavy Density Concrete
(2010-12-08)
Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in prestressed concrete structures, such as bridge girders, nuclear containment vessels, etc. These strains result in lossess, through ...
A Magnesia Based Sustainable Method For De-Fluoridation Of Contaminated Groundwater
(2010-10-14)
Groundwater is a major and sometimes lone source of drinking water worldwide. The chemical composition of groundwater is a combined product of the composition of water that enters the aquifer and its reaction with various ...
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 ...
