Tip Resistance Of A Miniature Cone Penetrometer Using Triaxial Apparatus For Clean And Silty Sand
(2010-06-09)
The static cone penetration tests are quite extensively used for carrying out in-situ geotechnical investigations both for onshore and offshore sites especially where the soil mass is expected to comprise of either soft ...
Static and Dynamic Behavior of Reinforced Masonry : Experimental and Analytical Investigations
(2018-07-18)
The most common form of dwellings in rural and semi-urban areas of India and other developing countries around the globe are one/two storey unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. It is well known that such masonry buildings ...
Characterization and Assessment of Organically Modified Clays for Geo Environmental Applications
(2018-04-11)
Clays are used for long for the control of soil and water pollution as they are inexpensive natural materials with a high adsorption capacity for a wide range of pollutants. However their use as components in engineered ...
Modelling Evapotranspiration from Satellite Data using semi-empirical Models : Applications to the Indian Subcontinent
(2018-05-22)
The major aim of this work is to develop a framework for the estimation of Evapotranspiration (ET) over the Indian landmass using remote sensing (RS) datasets in a repeated and consistent manner with improved spatial ...
Frequency Analysis of Floods - A Nanoparametric Approach
(2018-04-18)
Floods cause widespread damage to property and life in different parts of the world. Hence there is a paramount need to develop effective methods for design flood estimation to alleviate risk associated with these extreme ...
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 ...
Studies on Fracture and Fatigue Behavior of Cementitious Materials- Effects of Interfacial Transition Zone, Microcracking and Aggregate Bridging
(2018-05-14)
The microstructure of concrete contains random features over a wide range of length scales in which each length scale possess a new random composite. The influence of individual material constituents at different scales ...
Structural Safety Analysis with Alternative Uncertainty Models
(2018-07-14)
Probabilistic methods have been widely used in structural engineering to model uncertainties in loads and structural properties. The subjects of structural reliability analysis, random vibrations,
and structural system ...
Uncertainty Quantification in Flow and Flow Induced Structural Response
(2018-07-23)
Response of flexible structures — such as cable-supported bridges and aircraft wings — is associated with a number of uncertainties in structural and flow parameters. This thesis is aimed at efficient uncertainty quantification ...
Testing of Ground Subsurface using Spectral and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves
(2018-06-29)
Two surface wave testing methods, namely, (i) the spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW), and (ii) the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), form non-destructive and non-intrusive techniques for predicting the ...
