Rheological Studies on Slow Flow in Dense Granular Ensembles
An experimental study on the rheology and kinematics of dense granular materials is presented in this thesis in the slow flow regime. In this study, we employ an often used experimental set up of the cylindrical Couette ...
Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change : Detection and Attribution
Detecting, quantifying, and modelling the effects of human-induced climate change in regional hydrology is important for studying the impacts of such changes on the water resources systems as well as for reliable future ...
Studies on Characteristics of Stabilized Soil Compacts for Structural Applications
Earth based construction materials are identified as green and low carbon materials. There are sustained R&D efforts in developing stabilised earth products for buildings and other structural applications. The thesis ...
Analysis of Laterally Loaded Piles in Clayey Soils with Sloping Ground
In the present study, a small scale 1-g model test has been developed in the laboratory to study the behaviour of a long flexible single pile embedded in a slope of soft clay with different slope angles and L/D ratios, and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Predictability of Nonstationary Time Series using Wavelet and Empirical Mode Decomposition Based ARMA Models
(2018-04-06)
The idea of time series forecasting techniques is that the past has certain information about future. So, the question of how the information is encoded in the past can be interpreted and later used to extrapolate events ...
