(2018-02-10)
Tee present research focuses on seismic hazard studies for the states of Tripura and Mizoram in the North-East India with taking into account the complex sesismotectonic characteristics of the region. This area is more ...
Impacts of Climate Change on IDF Relationships for Design of Urban Stormwater Systems
(2018-01-29)
Increasing global mean temperature or global warming has the potential to affect the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), alterations in the frequency ...
Studies on the Modeling of Fatigue Crack Growth and Damage in Concrete : A Thermodynamic Approach
(2018-01-11)
Fatigue in concrete is a complex phenomenon involving formation of microcracks, their coalescence into major crack and simultaneous formation of the fracture process zone ahead of the crack tip. Complex phenomena are best ...
Ground Improvement using 3D-Cellular Confinement Systems : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-01-09)
The various aspects of the 3D cellular confinement systems (geocells) subjected to static loading are comprehensively studied with the help of experimental and numerical studies. The performances of the geocells were ...
Shear Behaviour of Sand-geosynthetic Interfaces Based on Size And Morphology of Sand Particles and Surface Roughness of Geosynthetics
(2018-01-01)
Geosynthetics are used in conjunction with soil/particulate materials to serve various functions like reinforcement, drainage, filtration and containment. The shear behavior of soil-geosynthetic interfaces hugely depends ...
Class-F Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) Mixtures for Enhanced Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
(2018-01-11)
Fly ash and blast furnace slag are the two major industrial solid by-products generated in most countries including India. Although their utilization rate has increased in the recent years, still huge quantities of these ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Geopolymers as Construction Materials
(2018-01-09)
Geopolymers are a relatively new class of materials that have many broad applications, including use as substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC), use in soil stabilisation, fire resistant panels, refractory cements, ...
Performance Evaluation of Public Bus Transport Operations in Karnataka by using Non-parametric and Multivariate Analysis
(2018-01-31)
Indian cities rely predominantly on buses for public transport. The issues of performance measurement and efficiency analyses for the bus company have been gaining significance due to severe operating conditions and
financial ...
Monte Carlo Simulation Based Response Estimation and Model Updating in Nonlinear Random Vibrations
(2018-02-22)
The study of randomly excited nonlinear dynamical systems forms the focus of this thesis. We discuss two classes of problems: first, the characterization of nonlinear random response of the system before it comes into ...
