Testing of Ground Subsurface using Spectral and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves
(2018-06-29)Two surface wave testing methods, namely, (i) the spectral analysis of surface waves (SASW), and (ii) the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW), form non-destructive and non-intrusive techniques for predicting the ... -
Time Dependent Deformations and High Temperature Effects on Different Types of Concrete : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-03-01)Estimating the delayed strains in concrete, namely creep and shrinkage is very important to asses the condition of the structure. Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in ... -
Time Dependent Deformations in Normal And Heavy Density Concrete
(2010-12-08)Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in prestressed concrete structures, such as bridge girders, nuclear containment vessels, etc. These strains result in lossess, through ... -
Tip Resistance Of A Miniature Cone Penetrometer Using Triaxial Apparatus For Clean And Silty Sand
(2010-06-09)The static cone penetration tests are quite extensively used for carrying out in-situ geotechnical investigations both for onshore and offshore sites especially where the soil mass is expected to comprise of either soft ... -
Two Dimensional Numerical Modelling Of Variably Saturated Flows
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-21)The prediction of moisture and contaminant transport through unsaturated soil to ground water is becoming increasingly important in the fields of hydrology, agriculture and environmental engineering. Computer aided simulation ... -
Two Dimensional Numerical Modelling Of Variably Saturated Flows ?
The prediction of moisture and contaminant transport through unsaturated soil to groundwater is becoming increasingly important in the fields of hydrology, agriculture, and environmental engineering. Computer-aided simulation ... -
Two-temperature thermodynamics and continuum modelling of viscoplaticity in metals
In recent years, numerous studies have shown the complexity of plastic deformation in metals. The accuracy in modelling inelastic behaviour holds great significance for engineers as metals and metallic alloys are extensively ... -
Uncertainty Analysis of Microwave Based Rainfall Estimates over a River Basin Using TRMM Orbital Data Products
(2018-01-11)Error characteristics associated with satellite-derived precipitation products are important for atmospheric and hydrological model data assimilation, forecasting, and climate diagnostic applications. This information also ... -
Uncertainty Based Damage Identification and Prediction of Long-Time Deformation in Concrete Structures
(2018-02-20)Uncertainties are present in the inverse analysis of damage identification with respect to the given measurements, mainly the modelling uncertainties and the measurement uncertainties. Modelling uncertainties occur due to ... -
Uncertainty Modeling For River Water Quality Control
(2010-08-30)Waste Load Allocation (WLA) in rivers refers to the determination of required pollutant fractional removal levels at a set of point sources of pollution to ensure that water quality standards are maintained throughout the ... -
Uncertainty Quantification in Flow and Flow Induced Structural Response
(2018-07-23)Response of flexible structures — such as cable-supported bridges and aircraft wings — is associated with a number of uncertainties in structural and flow parameters. This thesis is aimed at efficient uncertainty quantification ... -
Understanding Catchment Scale Processes: Hydrological Modelling and Information-Theoretic Approaches
Catchments are complex environmental systems, and they serve as the fundamental units for hydrological classification. They are self-organizing systems whose form, drainage network, ground and channel slopes, channel ... -
Understanding Strain Rate Response of Geomaterials through Orthogonal Cutting Experiments
Cutting is a complex, large deformation process used for the removal of material during various engineering operations. In geomaterials, such as soils and rocks, the mechanism of cutting is encountered during operations ... -
Unsteady two-Dimensional flow field behind perforated plates on a flat surface
The flow over bluff bodies with separation is one of the oldest in fluid mechanics. The separated flows would be considered to have local streamline curvature; such flows are particularly of interest in engineering due to ... -
Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis for Problems of Reinforced Earth, Unsupported Tunnels and a Group of Anchors
(2017-11-27)This thesis presents the implementation of the upper bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear optimization for solving different stability problems in geomechanics under plane strain conditions. ... -
VENTURI STUDIES WITH WATER ON CAVITATIOK INCEPTION CAVITY CHARACTERISTICS AND CAVITATION EROSION BEHIND BLUFF BODIES
Cavitation is defined as the formation, growth and collapse of vapour or gas? and vapour?filled bubbles in a liquid subjected to reduced pressures (of the order of the vapour pressure of the liquid) at constant ambient ... -
Vibration Analysis Of Structures Built Up Of Randomly Inhomogeneous Curved And Straight Beams Using Stochastic Dynamic Stiffness Matrix Method
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-19)Uncertainties in load and system properties play a significant role in reliability analysis of vibrating structural systems. The subject of random vibrations has evolved over the last few decades to deal with uncertainties ...
