Inverse Sensitivity Methods In Linear Structural Damage Detection Using Vibration Data
(2009-06-29)
The thesis addresses the problem of structural damage detection using inverse sensitivity based methods. The focus here is on characterization with regard to identification, location, and, quantification of structural ...
Grey Optimization For Uncertainty Modeling In Water Resources Systems
(2009-07-08)
In this study, methodologies for modeling grey uncertainty in water resources systems are developed, specifically for the problems in two identified areas in water resources: waste load allocation in streams and floodplain ...
Hydrologic Impacts Of Climate Change : Uncertainty Modeling
(2009-07-02)
General Circulation Models (GCMs) are tools designed to simulate time series of climate variables globally, accounting for effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They attempt to represent the physical processes in ...
Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model
(2009-06-30)
Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering ...
A Study On Inelastic Response Of Multi-Storey Buildings To Near-field Ground Motions
(2009-07-21)
With the advancement in knowledge of inelastic response of structures, the design and construction practices of reinforced concrete buildings have been changing worldwide. Most of the codes are incorporating the near-fault ...

(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-13)
The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ...
Wall Effects In Packed Beds
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-07-13)
Packed beds find extensive application in a wide variety of industries. The objective of the present work is to analyze and evaluate the effects of the wall on structural characteristics, hydrodynamics and heat transfer ...
Structures, Thermodynamics and Phase Relations in Selected Oxide Systems
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-08)
Understanding of the interrelationship between structure, thermodynamic properties and phase diagrams is very useful for rationalizing the behavior of materials and development of predictive models, which can be used to ...
Stability Numbers For Slopes With Associated And Non-Associated Flow Rule And Shake Table Liquefaction Studies
(2007-10-23)
Based upon the upper bound limit analysis, the stability numbers have been developed for a two-layered soil slope both for an associated flow rule material and for a homogeneous slope with non-associated flow rule material. ...
Numerical Modeling Of Jointed Rock Mass
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-28)
The behavior of jointed rock mass is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as location of joints, joint frequency, joint orientation and joint strength. A thorough review of literature on different aspects ...
