Analysis Of Solute Transport In Porous Media For Nonreactive And Sorbing Solutes Using Hybrid FCT Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-06)The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Influence Of Joint Compliance On The Behaviour Of Space Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-06)Space structures are inevitable while covering large spans. Space structures are skeletal structures, which are lighter for the same stiffness when compared with RCC roofs. Till now, space structures, like any other metal ... -
Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ... -
Numerical Modeling Of Jointed Rock Mass
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-28)The behavior of jointed rock mass is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as location of joints, joint frequency, joint orientation and joint strength. A thorough review of literature on different aspects ... -
Passive Earth Pressure Coefficients And There Applications In The Uplift Capacity Of Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-13)The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ... -
Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ... -
Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ... -
Study And Design Of Two-Thirds Power Weir
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)This thesis is devoted to the study and designs of two important proportional weirs having the discharge-head characteristics of Q α H 2/3 In the first design a geometrically simple weir in the form of a rectangular weir ... -
A Study On The Predictive Optimal Active Control Of Civil Engineering Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-18)Uncertainty involved in the safe and comfort design of the structures is a major concern of civil engineers. Traditionally, the uncertainty has been overcome by utilizing various and relatively large safety factors for ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
