Stochastic Analysis Of Flow And Solute Transport In Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Perturbation Approach
(2009-04-16)Analysis of flow and solute transport problem in porous media are affected by uncertainty inbuilt both in boundary conditions and spatial variability in system parameters. The experimental investigation reveals that the ... -
Stochastic Modelling of Flexible Pavement Performance
(2017-11-16)Stochastic analysis provides a rationale for the treatment of uncertainties, founded on the principles of probability theory and statistics, and is concerned with a quantifiable measure of the confidence or the reliability ... -
Stochastic Modelling of Vehicle-Structure Interactions : Dynamic State And Parameter Estimation, And Global Response Sensitivity Analysis
(2017-10-31)The analysis of vehicle-structure interaction systems plays a significant role in the design and maintenance of bridges. In recent years, the assessment of the health of existing bridges and the design of new ones has ... -
Stochastic Simulation Of Daily Rainfall Data Using Matched Block Bootstrap
(2010-04-13)Characterizing the uncertainty in rainfall using stochastic models has been a challenging area of research in the field of operational hydrology for about half a century. Simulated sequences drawn from such models find use ... -
Strain Rate, Volume Fraction and Notch Depth Effects on Fracture Properties of Fibrous Cementitious Composites
It is known that concrete is weak in tension. Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) is an alternative cementitious composite to increase the tensile strength, energy absorption capacity and durability of concrete structures. ... -
Strain-rate Dependence of Rock Joint Strength and Related Stability of Slopes and Tunnels
Understanding the strain rate-dependent strength behavior of rock joints is important since displacement rates along rock joints in field can exceed the suggested displacement rates (0.02 mm/min-0.5 mm/min) for laboratory ... -
Strength and Deformation Behavior of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Based on Constitutive Modeling Approach
(2018-04-11)The geotechnical properties of municipal solid waste (MSW) such as compressibility, shear strength and stiffness are of prime importance in design and construction of landfills. However, it is not well clear how the ... -
Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model
(2009-06-30)Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering ... -

Structural dynamic testing for seismic response simulation and time variant reliability estimation
The research work reported in this thesis addresses a few problems which arise in the context of experimental dynamic testing of engineering structures under earthquake loads. Firstly, we consider the problem of characterizing ... -
Structural Health Monitoring Accounting for Thermal Variability and Damage using Approximate Bayesian Computation
In structural engineering, damage is characterized as a change in material property, boundary condition, or geometry. The changes in these properties/parameters lead to a change in the measured response. The difference ... -
Structural Reliability Estimation Using Markov Chain Splitting and Girsanov’s Transformation Based Methods
The work reported in this thesis is in the area of Monte Carlo simulation based methods for structural reliability estimation with special focus on strategies to reduce sampling variance of the estimator for the probability ... -
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 ... -
Studies into Embodied and Operational Energy in Traditional and Conventional Residential Buildings in India
The role of the built environment and the construction industry in sustainable development gained global attention due to their significant share in global warming, GHG emissions, energy demand and depletion of non-renewable ... -
Studies on alkali activated compressed earth bricks for structural masonry
Earth based construction materials are acknowledged as low carbon and low embodied energy materials. The investigations dealt in the thesis were mainly focused on exploring the geopolymer and lime-ground slag binders for ... -
