Studies On Application Of Control Systems For Urban Water Networks
(2010-09-21)Management and supply of water in an urban water distribution system is a complex process, which include various complexities like pressure variations across the network depending on topography, demand variations depending ... -
Studies on Characteristics of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth and Flexural Behaviour of Plain and Reinforced Rammed Earth
The rammed earth technique has been explored in the past, for the construction of load bearing walls in the buildings. Rammed earth construction involves compaction of partially saturated loose soil-sand mix in a rigid ... -
Studies on Characteristics of Stabilized Soil Compacts for Structural Applications
Earth based construction materials are identified as green and low carbon materials. There are sustained R&D efforts in developing stabilised earth products for buildings and other structural applications. The thesis ... -
Studies On Characterization Of Self Compacting Concrete : Microstructure, Fracture And Fatigue
(2013-09-11)Evolution of concrete is continuously taking place to meet the ever-growing demands of the construction industry. Self compacting concrete (SCC) has emerged as a result of this demand to overcome the scarcity of labour. ... -
Studies On Compacted Stabilised Fly Ash Mixtures And Fly Ash Bricks For Masonry
(2010-04-12)Fly ash is a waste product from thermal power plants where pulverised coal is used for the generation of electricity. Fly ash is being utilised in the blended cements, additive for concrete and manufacturing of concrete ... -
Studies On Fatigue Crack Propagation In Cementitious Materials : A Dimensional Analysis Approach
(2014-08-19)Crack propagation in structures when subjected to fatigue loading, follows three different phases namely - short crack growth, stable crack growth and unstable crack growth. Accurate fatigue life prediction demands the ... -
Studies on Flexural Behaviour of Fly Ash-Lime-Gypsum Brick Masonry
(2018-08-09)Varieties of masonry units such as burnt clay bricks, stones and concrete products are used for masonry construction. Even though these materials are durable, they are considered as unsustainable options because of the ... -
Studies on Fracture and Fatigue Behavior of Cementitious Materials- Effects of Interfacial Transition Zone, Microcracking and Aggregate Bridging
(2018-05-14)The microstructure of concrete contains random features over a wide range of length scales in which each length scale possess a new random composite. The influence of individual material constituents at different scales ... -
Studies on Propagating and Non-Propagating Cracks in Concrete Under Fatigue Loading in the Short Crack Regime
(2018-05-01)Structural concrete is the most widely used material in the construction of bridges, pave-ments, runways, dams and other infrastructures which are subjected to uctuating loads during its service period. Concrete contains ... -
Studies On Shear Bond Strength - Masonry Compressive Strength Relationship And Finite Element Model For Prediction Of Masonry Compressive Strength
(2009-04-16)Masonry is a layered composite consisting of mortar and the masonry unit. Perfect bond between the masonry unit and the mortar is essential for the masonry to perform as one single entity in order to resist the stresses ... -

Studies On Surface Aeration In Circular Tanks
(2011-04-01)Water is a fundamental need for existence of mankind. Only 0.01 % of total global water is readily available for human consumption as fresh water. The rapid increase in human population and consequent rise in urbanization ... -
Studies on the behaviour of the fibre reinforced cement stabilised rammed earth
Cement stabilised rammed earth (CSRE) is a monolithic construction used for the loadbearing walls in the buildings and other structures. The soil, fine aggregates and cement form the basic materials for the CSRE construction. ... -
Studies On The Evaluation Of Thermal Stress Intensity Factors For Bi-Material Interface Cracks
(2010-07-29)Components of turbines, combustion chambers, multi-layered electronic packaging structures and nuclear reactors are subjected to transient thermal loads during their service life. In the presence of a discontinuity like ... -
Studies on the Mechanisms of Fracture, Evolution of Microcracks and Size Effect in Concrete through Acoustic Emission Analysis
The mechanics of fracture evolution in heterogeneous material like concrete is a distinct and complex phenomenon and still stands as an open problem after decades of research. A cluster of multi-scale cracks ahead of the ... -
Studies on the Modeling of Fatigue Crack Growth and Damage in Concrete : A Thermodynamic Approach
(2018-01-11)Fatigue in concrete is a complex phenomenon involving formation of microcracks, their coalescence into major crack and simultaneous formation of the fracture process zone ahead of the crack tip. Complex phenomena are best ... -
