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 ...
Shape Characterization of Granular Particles using Image Based Techniques
(2018-05-22)
Granular soils with different sizes and shapes are often used in many civil engineering structures. In different contexts, several researchers have emphasized that shape of particles play a pivotal role in influencing ...
Studies on Propagating and Non-Propagating Cracks in Concrete Under Fatigue Loading in the Short Crack Regime
(2018-05-01)
Structural concrete is the most widely used material in the construction of bridges, pave-ments, runways, dams and other infrastructures which are subjected to uctuating loads during its service period. Concrete contains ...
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 ...
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)
Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ...
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 ...
Modeling and Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
(2018-01-09)
In most of the urban cities of developing countries piped water supply is intermittent and they receive water on alternate days for about few hours. The Unaccounted For Water (UFW) in these cities is very high due to aged ...
Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat Transport in a Geothermal Reservoir due to Cold Water Injection
(2018-01-09)
Geothermal energy is the energy naturally present inside the earth crust. When a large
volume of hot water and steam is trapped in subsurface porous and permeable rock
structure and a convective circulating current is set ...
Mechanics of Drilling in Porous Brittle Solids
(2018-01-01)
This thesis presents a detailed experimental programme on understanding the mechanics of drilling in porous brittle solids. Gypsum was used as a model material for this experimental study, in which the mechanics of drilling ...
