Comprehensive Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
(2018-02-23)
Planet earth is restless and one cannot control its inside activities and vibrations those leading to natural hazards. Earthquake is one of such natural hazards that have affected the mankind most. Most of the causalities ...
Estimation of Root Zone Soil Hydraulic Properties by Inversion of a Crop Model using Ground or Microwave Remote Sensing Observations
(2018-02-09)
Good estimates of soil hydraulic parameters and their distribution in a catchment is essential for crop and hydrological models. Measurements of soil properties by experimental methods are expensive and often time consuming, ...
Fracture Behaviour including Size Effect of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth
(2018-01-30)
Rammed earth is a monolithic construction formed by compacting processed soil in progressive layers. Rammed earth is used for the construction of load bearing walls, floors, sub base material in roadways, airport runways, ...
Shaking Table Tests to Study the Influence of Ground Motion, Soil and Site Parameters on the Initiation of Liquefaction in Sands
(2018-01-12)
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soil loses a large percentage of its shear resistance due to increased pore water pressure and flows like a liquid. Undrained cyclic loading conditions during earthquakes cause ...
Methods on Probabilistic Structural Vibration using Stochastic Finite Element Framework
(2018-02-07)
Analysis of vibration of systems with uncertainty in material properties under the influence of a random forcing function is an active area of research. Especially the characterization based on mode shapes and frequencies ...
Numerical Investigation of Masonry Infilled RC Frames Subjected to Seismic Loading
(2018-02-21)
Reinforced concrete frames, infilled with brick/concrete block masonry, are the most common type of structures found in multi-storeyed constructions, especially in developing countries. Usually, the infill walls are ...
Kinetics Of Photo Initiated Organic And Polymer Reactions
(2012-04-23)
Photo-initiated reactions involve the use of ultraviolet (UV) or visible light radiation to effect chemical transformations. Some of the advantages of photo-initiated reactions over thermal or high pressure reactions include ...
Elastic Wave Propagation and Evaluation of Low Strain Dynamic Properties in Jointed Rocks
(2018-06-05)
When the point under consideration is not near to the source of vibration, the strains developed in the rock mass due to the passage of waves are usually of small magnitude, and within the elastic range. However, the rock ...
