Characterization and Assessment of Organically Modified Clays for Geo Environmental Applications
(2018-04-11)Clays are used for long for the control of soil and water pollution as they are inexpensive natural materials with a high adsorption capacity for a wide range of pollutants. However their use as components in engineered ... -
Characterization And Lime Stabilization Studies On Artificially Lead Contaminated Soils
(2011-07-08)Hazardous waste substances are solid, semi-solid or non-aqueous liquids that exhibit characteristics of corrosivity, reactivity, ignitability, toxicity and infectious property. Major available options for management of ... -
Characterization of Different Slags for Bulk Geotechnical Applications
(2018-05-29)Generation of wastes in the form of liquid, solid or gas is inevitable in any industry.Industrial Solid Waste is the waste that is generated from an industrial or manufacturing process and includes the waste generated from ... -
Charaterization of Sand-Rubber Mixture and Numerical Analysis for Vibration Isolation
(2018-02-20)Scrap tyres provide numerous advantages from the viewpoint of civil engineering practices. Scrap tyres are light weight, have high vibration absorption, high elastic compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and ... -
CHM (Chemo-Hydro-Mechanical) Behavior of Barmer-1 Bentonite in the Context of Deep Geological Repositories for Safe Disposal of Nuclear Waste
(2018-03-21)Deep geological repository (DGR) for disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) is designed to rely on successive superimposed barrier systems to isolate the waste from the biosphere. This multiple barrier system ... -
Class-F Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) Mixtures for Enhanced Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
(2018-01-11)Fly ash and blast furnace slag are the two major industrial solid by-products generated in most countries including India. Although their utilization rate has increased in the recent years, still huge quantities of these ... -
Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ... -

Comparison of Additive and Multiplicative Kinematics in Large Deformation Plasticity
The most widely used plasticity model in commercial finite element analysis software packages is the additive plasticity model. One of the more well-known alternatives to additive plasticity is multiplicative plasticity. ... -
Comprehensine Studies Of Surface Aeration Systems
(2010-04-12)Dissolved oxygen refers to the mass of oxygen that is contained in water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is an important indicator of the environments water quality. The presence of oxygen in water is desirable ... -
Comprehensive Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
(2018-02-23)Planet earth is restless and one cannot control its inside activities and vibrations those leading to natural hazards. Earthquake is one of such natural hazards that have affected the mankind most. Most of the causalities ... -
Computational analysis of polymer nanocomposites across length scales
Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) exhibit excellent mechanical properties making them a promising material for several engineering applications. The enhancement in properties is primarily attributed to the toughening and ... -
Computational Studies on the Mechanics of Nanotubes and Nanocomposites
(2018-01-09)The discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in 1991 by Iijima revealed the possibility of ultra-strong materials exploiting the properties of materials at smaller length scales. The superior strength, stiffness, and ability ... -
Concrete Fracture And Size Effect - Experimental And Numerical Studies
(2010-10-14)Most materials including concrete have pre-existing flaws or defects. The fracture energy of concrete is a basic material property needed to understand fracture initiation and propagation in concrete. Whether fracture ... -
Conjunctive And Multipurpose Operation Of Reservoirs Using Genetic Algorithms
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)Optimal operation of reservoir systems is necessary for better utilizing the limited water resources and to justify the high capital investments associated with reservoir projects. However, finding optimal policies for ... -
Constitutive Theories for Polymers Using Non-Classical Continuum Mechanics
This thesis is on the development of a few constitutive theories characterising the thermo-mechanical response of polymers. In proposing the theories, some aspects of non-classical continuum mechanics are used. The first ... -
Contaminant Transport through Soil and Effect of Bentonite and super-absorbent Polymer on Transport Parameters
(2018-08-20)The aim of this present research is to improve the containment properties of clayey soil by the use of bentonite and polymers as the additives. Clayey soils are generally used for the control of soil and water pollutions ...
