Analytical Models For Stress-Strain Response Of Fiber-Reinforced Soil And Municipal Solid Waste
(2011-04-01)The present thesis proposes model for the analyses of stress-strain response of fiber reinforced soil and municipal solid waste (MSW). The concept of reinforcing soils by introducing tension resisting elements such as ... -
Comparative Studies On Slope Stability Analysis
(2012-02-16) -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ... -
Methodologies for Risk Assessment of Landslides Induced by Rainfall and Earthquake
Landslide is one of the greatest natural catastrophes and poses a major threat to lives and property worldwide. As development expands into unstable hill areas under the pressure of increasing population and urbanisation, ... -
Optimum Design Of Retaining Structures Under Static And Seismic Loading : A Reliability Based Approach
(2010-10-14)Design of retaining structures depends upon the load which is transferred from backfill soil as well as external loads and also the resisting capacity of the structure. The traditional safety factor approach of the design ... -
Probabilisltic Analysis of Engineering Response of Fiber Reinforced Soils
(2018-04-03)The concept of reinforcement was developed in late 20th century and since then till the recent past there are many works carried out on the effect of fibers in imparting strength and stiffness to the soil. Experimental ... -
Probabilistic Analysis of Radionuclide Transport for Radioactive Waste Disposal Systems in Soil and Fractured Rocks
The safe management of radioactive waste disposal facilities is increasingly becoming a necessary condition for the future development of nuclear industry. To ensure long-term safety of these disposal facilities, performance ... -
Probabilistic design and optimization of foundations on cohesionless soil using surrogate models
The design of foundations depends on the properties of soil, which are affected by various forms of uncertainties. These uncertainties affect the foundation performance and hence are considered in the deterministic design ... -
Regional and Local-scale Analysis of Landslides Induced by Rainfall and Earthquakes
Landslides are major natural disasters which pose a significant risk to lives and infrastructure globally. As urbanization is increasing due to the increasing population in mountainous regions, the risk due to landslides ... -
Reliability based analysis and design of slopes and tunnels in rock mass
Structures in rock mass such as slopes and tunnels form an important segment in the infrastructure development of a country. Rock mass consists of intact rock matrix with numerous discontinuities that can be represented ... -
Reliability Based Design Methods Of Pile Foundations Under Static And Seismic Loads
(2010-09-03)The properties of natural soil are inherently variable and influence design decisions in geotechnical engineering. Apart from the inherent variability of the soil, the variability may arise due to measurement of soil ... -
Response And Reliability Analyses Of Soil Nail Walls
(2011-04-01)In the present thesis, studies on the response of soil nail walls subjected to static and seismic conditions using finite element based numerical simulations and the principle of reliability analysis have been performed. ... -
Response of Geosynthetic Reinforced Granular Bases Under Repeated Loading
(2018-06-21)Key factors that influence the design of paved and unpaved roads are the strength and stiffness of the pavement layers. Among other factors, the strength of pavements depends on the thickness and quality of the aggregates ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
