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 ...
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 ...
Seepage Effects on Stream Power, Resistance, Incipient Motion and Regime of Sand Bed Channels including Its Design
(2018-07-28)
Common behavioral trends and characteristics of alluvial channels including rivers are extensively discussed in the literature. However, little is known about the hydrodynamic effects of seepage on alluvial channels. Factors ...
Analysis and Modelling of Activity-Travel Behaviour of Non-Workers from an Indian City
(2018-07-16)
Indian cities have been witnessing rapid transformation due to the synergistic effect of industrialisation, flourishing-economy, motorisation, population explosion, and
migration. The alarming increase in travel demand as ...
Site Characterization and Assessment of Various Earthquake Hazards for Micro and Micro-Level Seismic Zonations of Regions in the Peninsular India
(2018-07-28)
Past earthquakes have demonstrated that Indian sub-continent is highly vulnerable to earthquake hazards. It has been estimated that about 59 percent of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has potential risk from ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
