Identification Tools For Smeared Damage With Application To Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements
(2011-01-10)Countries world-over have thousands of critical structures and bridges which have been built decades back when strength-based designs were the order of the day. Over the years, magnitude and frequency of loadings on these ... -
Impact Assessment Of Climate Change On Hydrometeorology Of River Basin For IPCC SRES Scenarios
(2010-09-28)There is ample growth in scientific evidence about climate change. Since, hydrometeorological processes are sensitive to climate variability and changes, ascertaining the linkages and feedbacks between the climate and the ... -
Impact Of Large-Scale Coupled Atmospheric-Oceanic Circulation On Hydrologic Variability And Uncertainty Through Hydroclimatic Teleconnection
(2010-06-14)In the recent scenario of climate change, the natural variability and uncertainty associated with the hydrologic variables is of great concern to the community. This thesis opens up a new area of multi-disciplinary research. ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on IDF Relationships for Design of Urban Stormwater Systems
(2018-01-29)Increasing global mean temperature or global warming has the potential to affect the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), alterations in the frequency ... -
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ... -
Improved Numerical And Numeric-Analytic Schemes In Nonlinear Dynamics And Systems With Finite Rotations
(2010-04-13)This thesis deals with different computational techniques related to some classes of nonlinear response regimes of engineering interest. The work is mainly divided into two parts. In the first part different numeric-analytic ... -
Influence of Chemo-Mechanical Factors on Compression and Undrained Strengths of Soft Kaolinites Prepared using Synthetic Seawater
(2017-11-28)Marine clay deposits are characterized by very soft to soft consistencies (undrained strength 1-50 kPa), presence of saline pore solution and low-swelling clays. Besides, loss of metastable structure on disturbance, poor ... -
Influence Of Joint Compliance On The Behaviour Of Space Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-06)Space structures are inevitable while covering large spans. Space structures are skeletal structures, which are lighter for the same stiffness when compared with RCC roofs. Till now, space structures, like any other metal ... -
Influence Of Osmotic Suction On The Swell And Compression Behaviour Of Compacted Expansive Clays
(2008-11-03)Total suction of unsaturated soils is contributed by matric and osmotic suctions. Matric suction arises from capillary actions in the soil structure and varies with changes in moisture content of the soil. Pore fluid ... -
Influence of Permeation of Synthetic Groundwater Solutions on the Hydro-Mechanical Proerties of Barmer Bentonite
(2018-04-11)The deep geological repository concept is based on “engineered barriers systems (EBS)” that are constructed in the repository and “natural barriers” provided by the surrounding geological environment. The EBS comprises of ... -
An Integrated Choice and Latent Variable Framework to Incorporate the Influence of Travel Time Variability on Truck Route Choice
Route choice models (or path choice models) are useful for quantifying travellers’ preferences for or sensitivity to route attributes, predicting network-level traffic flows, examining the influence of information provided ... -
Interference Effect of Closely Spaced Square Footings on Geocell Reinforced Sand and Clay Beds: Experimental and Numerical Studies
With rapid growth of construction rate and lack of suitable land sites for construction, placing building foundations close to each other and on soft-grounds is inevitable. When the foundations are placed close enough on ... -
Interference Effects On The Collapse Loads For Footings And Anchors Using An Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis
(2011-02-17)The present thesis is an attempt to investigate the interference effects on the magnitudes of the ultimate failure loads for a group of closely spaced strip footings and strip plate anchors. On account of an increase in ... -
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 ... -
Investigating and Modelling the Microscopic Pedestrian Behavioral Dynamics in Mass Religious Gatherings
Pedestrian models that can realistically reproduce observed pedestrian movement dynamics are crucial in facility planning and pre-event planning of crowded situations. Despite the elaborate arrangements, crowd disasters ... -
Isogeometric based formulations for the bending analysis of laminated composite structural elements
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a family of numerical methods to solve boundary value problems. The founding principle of isogeometric methods is aimed at integrating computer aided design (CAD) with nite element method ... -
Liquefaction Resistance and Cyclic Response of Air - Injected Desaturated Clean Sandy Soil: Experimental and Numerical Investigations
Liquefaction has been one of the major concerns in the field of geotechnical earthquake engineering. Various mitigation techniques such as vibroflotation, deep dynamic compaction, explosive compaction, grouting, deep soil ...
