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 ... -
Response of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Elements to Various Mechanical Loads
Reinforced concrete (RC) is being used for a wide range of structural applications. In order to design safe and economical RC structural elements it is necessary to analyse these elements accounting for the realistic ... -
Retrieval of Land Surface Variables using Microwave Remote Sensing
Microwave remote sensing of the land surface processes has advantages over optical remote sensing such as least attenuation due to the atmosphere, and high temporal resolution among others. Soil moisture is an important ... -
Rheological Studies on Slow Flow in Dense Granular Ensembles
An experimental study on the rheology and kinematics of dense granular materials is presented in this thesis in the slow flow regime. In this study, we employ an often used experimental set up of the cylindrical Couette ... -
Role of Composition, Structure and Physico-Chemical Environment on Stabilisation of Kuttanad Soil
(2018-04-12)Soft soil deposits of coastal regions and lowland areas pose many geotechnical problems but it is indispensable to utilize these grounds to meet the growing demand for infrastructure with ever increasing urbanization and ... -
Role of Gypsum in Stabilisation of Expansive Soil with Lime/Fly Ash-A Micro-Mechanistic Study
Stabilization of expansive soils with various calcium–based stabilizers (lime and cement) directly or in combinations with other solid waste materials such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) etc. ... -
Role of Physico-chemical Processes And Micro-structural Features in Influencing Moisture Loss and Engineering Properties Of Compacted Residual Soils Exposed To Environmental Relative Humidity
The moisture content of residual soils above the water table, and near ground surface (≤ 6 m) is influenced by the environmental relative humidity (RH). The focus of this thesis is to examine the physico-chemical and ... -
