Quantification of Uncertainties in Urban Precipitation Extremes
(2018-05-25)
Urbanisation alters the hydrologic response of a catchment, resulting in increased runoff rates and volumes, and loss of infiltration and base flow. Quantification of uncertainties is important in hydrologic designs of ...
Estimation of Daily Actual Evapotranspiration using Microwave and Optical Vegetation Indices for Clear and Cloudy Sky Conditions
(2018-05-25)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant hydrological process. It can be studied and estimated using remote sensing based methods at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Most commonly and widely used remote sensing based ...
Vibration Testing of Structures under Random Support Excitations
(2018-07-30)
Vibration testing of structures constitutes a crucial step in design and commissioning of engineering structures. The focus here is on simulating field conditions in a laboratory so that detailed investigations of the ...
Studies on Flexural Behaviour of Fly Ash-Lime-Gypsum Brick Masonry
(2018-08-09)
Varieties of masonry units such as burnt clay bricks, stones and concrete products are used for masonry construction. Even though these materials are durable, they are considered as unsustainable options because of the ...
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 ...
A New Mathematical Framework for Regional Frequency Analysis of Floods
(2018-06-19)
Reliable estimates of design flood quantiles are often necessary at sparsely gauged/ungauged target locations in river basins for various applications in water resources engineering. Development of effective methods for ...
Detection of Trends in Rainfall of Homogeneous Regions and Hydro-Climatic Variables of Tapi Basin with their Attribution
(2018-07-14)
In the present work, methodology of statistical analysis of change evolved by Kundzewicz and Robson (204) is revised to obtain a robust methodology named as “Comprehensive Aproach” which addresses research gaps of earlier ...
Monte Carlo Simulations with Variance Reduction for Structural Reliability Modeling, Updating and Testing
(2018-04-24)
Monte Carlo simulation techniques have emerged as widely accepted computing tools in tackling many problems in modern structural mechanics. Apart from developments in computational hardware, which have undoubtedly made ...
Seepage Effects on Stream Power, Resistance, Incipient Motion and Regime of Sand Bed Channels including Its Design
(2018-07-28)
Common behavioral trends and characteristics of alluvial channels including rivers are extensively discussed in the literature. However, little is known about the hydrodynamic effects of seepage on alluvial channels. Factors ...
A Framework to Measure the Socio-Economic Impact of Development Programs Using Malmquist Index
(2018-06-08)
The main objective of this research is to evaluate the socio economic impact of the development programs like MGNREGA, JnNURM and development of Roads project, on the intended target area. The entire thesis can be divided ...
