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 ... -
Seismic evaluation of 3D tunnels in near fault ground motion using domain reduction method
Underground tunnels are an essential part of transportation and utility networks, and their vulnerability to earthquakes has significant socio-economic impacts. Tunnels have suffered substantial damage in past earthquakes, ... -
Seismic response of Geocell Retaining walls
Use of tensile reinforcement for improving the seismic stability of retaining walls has gained considerable attention in recent times and has become a very common practice. Compared to planar geosynthetic materials, geocells ... -
Semi-active Control of Earthquake Induced Vibrations in Building Structures using MR Dampers: Algorithm Development and Benchmark Application
The thrust of this thesis is the development of two different kinds of feed-forward control strategy using the semi-active device MR damper to monitor MR damper supply current/voltage. The study develops a feed-forward ...
