Shaking Table Studies on Seismic Response of Unreinforced and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes
Experiences from recent earthquake records all over the world suggest that reinforced soil slopes provide better resistance to the seismic forces and possess higher yield accelerations compared to unreinforced slopes. ... -
Shaking Table Tests to Study the Influence of Ground Motion, Soil and Site Parameters on the Initiation of Liquefaction in Sands
(2018-01-12)Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which soil loses a large percentage of its shear resistance due to increased pore water pressure and flows like a liquid. Undrained cyclic loading conditions during earthquakes cause ... -
Shape Characterization of Granular Particles using Image Based Techniques
(2018-05-22)Granular soils with different sizes and shapes are often used in many civil engineering structures. In different contexts, several researchers have emphasized that shape of particles play a pivotal role in influencing ... -
Shear Behaviour of GCL-Sand Interrfaces under Static and Dynamic Conditions
Geosynthetic clay liners (GCL) are unique geocomposites that combine the beneficial properties of bentonite clay and geosynthetics in providing effective hydraulic barriers in landfill systems. In landfills, GCLs form ... -
Shear Behaviour of Sand-geosynthetic Interfaces Based on Size And Morphology of Sand Particles and Surface Roughness of Geosynthetics
(2018-01-01)Geosynthetics are used in conjunction with soil/particulate materials to serve various functions like reinforcement, drainage, filtration and containment. The shear behavior of soil-geosynthetic interfaces hugely depends ... -
Simulation and Characterization of Streamflow Time Series
Streamflow can be partitioned into distinct time scales to better understand the underlying governing processes: fast flow, representing surface runoff controlled mainly by meteorological processes that operate over ... -
Simulation of complex plastic flows in metal sliding and cutting
Metal manufacturing encompasses a broad range of mechanical transformation processes that shape native metal into useful forms. These processes generally involve the interaction of a hard tool with a specimen / workpiece, ... -
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 ... -
Site Characterization And Seismic Hazard Analysis With Local Site Effects For Microzonation Of Bangalore
(2010-05-25)Seismic hazard and microzonation of cities enable to characterize the potential seismic areas that need to be taken into account when designing new structures or retrofitting the existing ones. Study of seismic hazard and ... -
A Smooth Finite Element Method Via Triangular B-Splines
(2013-07-25)A triangular B-spline (DMS-spline)-based finite element method (TBS-FEM) is proposed along with possible enrichment through discontinuous Galerkin, continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element (CDGFE) and stabilization ... -
Smooth Finite Element Methods with Polynomial Reproducing Shape Functions
(2018-04-03)A couple of discretization schemes, based on an FE-like tessellation of the domain and polynomial reproducing, globally smooth shape functions, are considered and numerically explored to a limited extent. The first one ... -
Soil Moisture Modelling, Retrieval From Microwave Remote Sensing And Assimilation In A Tropical Watershed
(2016-03-01)The knowledge of soil moisture is of pronounced importance in various applications e.g. flood control, agricultural production and effective water resources management. These applications require the knowledge of spatial ... -
