Geotechnical Behaviour Of Soil Containing Mixed Layered Illite-Smectite Contaminated With Caustic Alkali
(2008-01-29)
The aim of the thesis has been to evaluate and understand the effect of caustic alkali solution of varying composition on the behaviour of expansive soil containing mixed layered minerals. Mixed layered minerals are formed ...
Shear Behaviour of Sand-geosynthetic Interfaces Based on Size And Morphology of Sand Particles and Surface Roughness of Geosynthetics
(2018-01-01)
Geosynthetics are used in conjunction with soil/particulate materials to serve various functions like reinforcement, drainage, filtration and containment. The shear behavior of soil-geosynthetic interfaces hugely depends ...
Class-F Fly Ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) Mixtures for Enhanced Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Applications
(2018-01-11)
Fly ash and blast furnace slag are the two major industrial solid by-products generated in most countries including India. Although their utilization rate has increased in the recent years, still huge quantities of these ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Geopolymers as Construction Materials
(2018-01-09)
Geopolymers are a relatively new class of materials that have many broad applications, including use as substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC), use in soil stabilisation, fire resistant panels, refractory cements, ...
Seismic Hazard Assessment of Tripura and Mizoram States along with Microzonation of Agartala and Aizawl Cities
(2018-02-10)
Tee present research focuses on seismic hazard studies for the states of Tripura and Mizoram in the North-East India with taking into account the complex sesismotectonic characteristics of the region. This area is more ...
Charaterization of Sand-Rubber Mixture and Numerical Analysis for Vibration Isolation
(2018-02-20)
Scrap tyres provide numerous advantages from the viewpoint of civil engineering practices. Scrap tyres are light weight, have high vibration absorption, high elastic compressibility, high hydraulic conductivity, and ...
Effect of Particle Shape on the Mechanical Behaviour of Granular Media : Discrete Element Simulations
(2018-03-08)
Granular materials are characterized by its discrete nature which makes their behaviour very complex to understand when subjected to various loading situations. Comparing other materials, the understanding of granular ...
Time Dependent Deformations and High Temperature Effects on Different Types of Concrete : Experimental and Numerical Studies
(2018-03-01)
Estimating the delayed strains in concrete, namely creep and shrinkage is very important to asses the condition of the structure. Time dependent deformations in concrete, both creep and shrinkage, play a critical role in ...
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 ...
Numerical Investigation of Masonry Infilled RC Frames Subjected to Seismic Loading
(2018-02-21)
Reinforced concrete frames, infilled with brick/concrete block masonry, are the most common type of structures found in multi-storeyed constructions, especially in developing countries. Usually, the infill walls are ...
