Repair and Retrofit Strategies for Structural Concrete against Thermo-Mechanical Loadings
(2018-01-29)
Reinforced cement concrete (RCC) structures have become an important aspect in most of the buildings in our society around the world. Most of the multistoried reinforced concrete buildings house important institutions such ...
Charaterization of Sand-Rubber Mixture and Numerical Analysis for Vibration Isolation
(2018-02-20)
Scrap tyres provide numerous advantages from the viewpoint of civil engineering practices. Scrap tyres are light weight, have high vibration absorption, high elastic compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and ...
Uncertainty Based Damage Identification and Prediction of Long-Time Deformation in Concrete Structures
(2018-02-20)
Uncertainties are present in the inverse analysis of damage identification with respect to the given measurements, mainly the modelling uncertainties and the measurement uncertainties. Modelling uncertainties occur due to ...
Effect of Particle Shape on the Mechanical Behaviour of Granular Media : Discrete Element Simulations
(2018-03-08)
Granular materials are characterized by its discrete nature which makes their behaviour very complex to understand when subjected to various loading situations. Comparing other materials, the understanding of granular ...
Time Dependent Deformations and High Temperature Effects on Different Types of Concrete : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-03-01)
Estimating the delayed strains in concrete, namely creep and shrinkage is very important to asses the condition of the structure. Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in ...
CHM (Chemo-Hydro-Mechanical) Behavior of Barmer-1 Bentonite in the Context of Deep Geological Repositories for Safe Disposal of Nuclear Waste
(2018-03-21)
Deep geological repository (DGR) for disposal of high-level radioactive waste
(HLW) is designed to rely on successive superimposed barrier systems to isolate the
waste from the biosphere. This multiple barrier system ...
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 ...
