Stochastic Modelling of Vehicle-Structure Interactions : Dynamic State And Parameter Estimation, And Global Response Sensitivity Analysis
(2017-10-31)
The analysis of vehicle-structure interaction systems plays a significant role in the design and maintenance of bridges. In recent years, the assessment of the health of existing bridges and the design of new ones has ...
Characterization and Assessment of Organically Modified Clays for Geo Environmental Applications
(2018-04-11)
Clays are used for long for the control of soil and water pollution as they are inexpensive natural materials with a high adsorption capacity for a wide range of pollutants. However their use as components in engineered ...
Role of Composition, Structure and Physico-Chemical Environment on Stabilisation of Kuttanad Soil
(2018-04-12)
Soft soil deposits of coastal regions and lowland areas pose many geotechnical problems but it is indispensable to utilize these grounds to meet the growing demand for infrastructure with ever increasing urbanization 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 ...
Influence of Permeation of Synthetic Groundwater Solutions on the Hydro-Mechanical Proerties of Barmer Bentonite
(2018-04-11)
The deep geological repository concept is based on “engineered barriers systems (EBS)” that are constructed in the repository and “natural barriers” provided by the surrounding geological environment. The EBS comprises of ...
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 ...
Smooth Finite Element Methods with Polynomial Reproducing Shape Functions
(2018-04-03)
A couple of discretization schemes, based on an FE-like tessellation of the domain and polynomial reproducing, globally smooth shape functions, are considered and numerically explored to a limited extent. The first one ...
Modeling Salinity Impact on Ground Water Irrigated Turmeric Crop
(2018-04-18)
Soils in irrigated fields are impacted by irrigation water quality. Salts in the irrigation water may accumulate in the soil depending on amount of leaching, the quality of water and type of ions present. Salinity is an ...
Field Investigations And Modeling of Flow in Vadose Zone in a Forested Watershed
(2017-10-18)
The vadose zone is the unsaturated zone between the ground surface and water table. This zone is of much importance as it acts as a link between surface water and ground water. Knowledge of soil moisture in this zone is ...
Studies on The Transport Rates of Heavy Metals in the Design of Liner Thickness and Remediation of Soils
(2018-01-01)
The enormous rate of increase in waste generation across the world is a serious threat to the future generation, if not handled properly, due to the creation of health hazards and global warming. This was awakened many ...
