Fracture Characteristics Of Self Consolidating Concrete
(2010-07-16)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has wide use for placement in congested reinforced concrete structures in recent years. SCC represents one of the most outstanding advances in concrete technology during the last two ...
Remedial Measures For Alkali Induced Heave In Soils
(2010-07-15)
Sub-surface soil pollution by various processes with high concentration of contaminants can significantly alter geotechnical properties of soils causing unexpected failures of structures founded on them. The changes can ...
Effects Of Reinforcement Parameters On The Behavior Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Foundation Beds
(2010-09-22)
Use of geosynthetics for reinforcing soil beds supporting shallow foundations has gained tremendous popularity in recent times. In this thesis, to study and understand the behaviour of geosynthetics reinforced soil ...
Factors Affecting The Static And Dynamic Response Of Jointed Rock Masses
(2010-07-20)
Infrastructure is developing at an extremely fast pace which includes construction of metros, underground storage places, railway bridges, caverns and tunnels. Very often these structures are found in or on the rock masses. ...
Concrete Fracture And Size Effect - Experimental And Numerical Studies
(2010-10-14)
Most materials including concrete have pre-existing flaws or defects. The fracture energy of concrete is a basic material property needed to understand fracture initiation and propagation in concrete. Whether fracture ...
Seismic Response Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Wall Models Using Shaking Table Tests
(2010-10-14)
Use of soil retaining walls for roads, embankments and bridges is increasing with time and reinforced soil retaining walls are found to be very efficient even under critical conditions compared to unreinforced walls. They ...
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 ...
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 ...
