Assessment and Monitoring Of Hydrometeorological Variables And Extreme Conditions for Present and Future Climate Change Scenarios
Monitoring and assessment of Hydrological/hydrometeorological Variables (HVs) like streamflow, soil moisture, precipitation, and temperature are essential for various applications such as prediction/forecasting of natural ... -
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ... -
Assessment Of Seismic Hazard With Local Site Effects : Deterministic And Probabilistic Approaches
(2013-04-26)Many researchers have pointed out that the accumulation of strain energy in the Penninsular Indian Shield region may lead to earthquakes of significant magnitude(Srinivasan and Sreenivas, 1977; Valdiya, 1998; Purnachandra ... -
Assimilation of near-surface soil temperature and soil moisture in an unsaturated flow model: State and parameter estimation using synthetic and field experiments
Soil moisture is a key variable governing land surface hydrology, agricultural productivity, and climate dynamics, influencing crucial processes such as evapotranspiration, infiltration, and surface runoff. Accurate ... -
At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ... -
Attenuation Characteristics and Seismicity Analysis of Himalayan Region with Linear Joint Time-frequency Analysis Techniques
About 59% of the land area of the Indian subcontinent has high chances of moderate to severe earthquakes, of which the Himalayas are the most seismically active. Regardless of the high seismic activity, the seismic network ... -
Axisymmetric problems on capacity and passive earth pressures in soils with bilinear ground surface by the method of characteristics.
Shallow footings are placed on different types of soil under different site conditions. A shallow footing placed in a depression with stratified soil is a good example of a practical problem. For a realistic analysis of ... -
Bayesian implicit filters for the analysis of numerically stiff structural dynamic state space models
This thesis reports on combined experimental and computational investigations conducted on problems of state and combined state and parameter estimation applied to vibrating engineering structures. The standard dynamic ... -
Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear
(2014-04-08)Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of building stock worldwide. Seismic performance of unreinforced masonry has been far from satisfactory. Masonry is purported to be a major source of hazard during ... -

Behaviour Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Aggregate Systems Under Static, Repeated And Cyclic Loads
(2016-04-26)Efficient road network and connectivity play vital role in the development of any country. Majority of the rural roads are unpaved and connectivity of rural roads is always a major challenge. Unpaved roads are also used ... -
Behaviour of Granular Materials Under Shock and Blast Loading - A Shock Tube Investigation
Granular and porous materials based protective layers have proven to be very good shock absorbing medium. Although sand material is widely used (as sand bags) till date in civil and military applications as a blast mitigating ... -
Bentonite-Kaolinite-sand mixtures as backfill material for nuclear fuel waste disposal vault.
The aim of the present investigation is to find a suitable backfill material to be used in a nuclear fuel waste–disposal vault. The requirements for such backfill material with regard to various characteristics-such as ... -
Capacity Spectrum Method : Energy Based Approach
(2013-04-29)The capacity spectrum method is a very popular tool in the performance based earthquake resistant design of structures. Though it involves nonlinear static analysis, it can be used to predict the dynamic behaviour of the ... -
Cavitation and cavitation damage
This thesis deals with the study of certain aspects of cavitation damage. In the first part of the thesis, a critical survey of the existing literature has been made, and various theories of cavitation damage have been ...
