Endochronic Constitutive Model for Sands and Its Application to Geotechnical Problems
(2018-05-01)The introductions of large digital computers in the field of engineering have rendered possible the solution of a wide variety of problems without the need to violate the equilibrium and compatibility. The major requirement ... -
Energy dissipation and other studies on submerged circular twin jets
When a high velocity sutmerged water jet enters a quiescent amhient medium of the same fluid Its energy gets gradually dissipated along Its course In the surrounding medium and Its efflux velocity gets decelarated along ... -
Engineering Approach To Seismic Hazard Estimation Of North Eastern Region Of India
(2013-10-23)Selecting the design ground motion parameters for future earthquakes is a challenging task in earthquake engineering. The intensity of ground shaking depends on the physics of the earthquake process, the seismic wave ... -
Engineering Behaviour Of Ash-Modified Soils Of Karnataka
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-22)During a survey of black cotton soil zones of Karnataka, indigenously stabilized black cotton soil deposits were encountered in Belgaum, Bijapur, Bagalkot and Gadag Districts of Karnataka. These modified black cotton soils ... -

Enhancing The Potential Of Class F Fly Ashes For Geotechnical And Geoenvironmental Applications
(2013-07-19)Thermal power station in most countries is saddled with the problem of fly ash disposal and unless suitable avenues are found for its proper use, this would pose a gigantic problem to the power sector. Disposal of huge ... -
Entertainment co-efficient surface jet
The thesis presents the results of an experimental study on the entrainment coefficient of a circular non-buoyant surface water jet discharging into quiescent ambient water. The thesis consists of seven chapters. Chapter ... -
Estimation of Daily Actual Evapotranspiration using Microwave and Optical Vegetation Indices for Clear and Cloudy Sky Conditions
(2018-05-25)Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant hydrological process. It can be studied and estimated using remote sensing based methods at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Most commonly and widely used remote sensing based ... -
Estimation of Root Zone Soil Hydraulic Properties by Inversion of a Crop Model using Ground or Microwave Remote Sensing Observations
(2018-02-09)Good estimates of soil hydraulic parameters and their distribution in a catchment is essential for crop and hydrological models. Measurements of soil properties by experimental methods are expensive and often time consuming, ... -
Evaluating Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Potential of Sustainable Urban Transport Measures in India
The global climate is transforming due to increased GHG emissions. Globally, the response to climate change has been through mitigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Urban transportation is the second leading source ... -
Evaluating Sustainable Transport Measures Towards Fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals
Transportation system generates significant negative externalities such as air pollution, traffic congestion, road‑traffic accidents, and substantial greenhouse‑gas emissions, that if left unaddressed, threaten to undermine ... -
Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ... -
Experimental and Analytical Studies on Damage Detection and Failure Analysis of Transmission Towers and Tower like Structures
(2017-12-07)The transmission line (TL) tower is an important component in electrical network system. These towers consist of members (angle sections) and connections (bolted connections) plus foundation, which act together to resist ... -
Experimental and Numerical Evaluation of Mechanical Response of Unsaturated Soils and Their Application to Embankments and Footings
Naturally, soils are rarely fully saturated, and climatic and environmental conditions frequently cause moisture content to change. Due to the varying climate changes and its effects on compacted engineering structures, ... -
Experimental Investigations Into Fracture and Fatigue Behavior Of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Acoustic Emission Technique
Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ... -
