Factors Controlling the Dispersivity of Soils and the Role of Zeta Potential
(2017-12-07)
Most soil particles loses cohesion and split up the soil mass into individual soil grains when they come in contact with water and get saturated. In dispersive soils the particles detach more spontaneously from each other ...
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 ...
Enhancing The Potential Of Class F Fly Ashes For Geotechnical And Geoenvironmental Applications
(2013-07-19)
Thermal power station in most countries is saddled with the problem of fly ash disposal and unless suitable avenues are found for its proper use, this would pose a gigantic problem to the power sector. Disposal of huge ...
Regionalization Of Hydrometeorological Variables In India Using Cluster Analysis
(2017-07-12)
Regionalization of hydrometeorological variables such as rainfall and temperature is necessary for various applications related to water resources planning and management. Sampling variability and randomness associated ...
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 ...
Experimental Studies on The Mechanical Behaviour of Cohesive Frictional Granular Materials
(2017-09-26)
Thss thesis presents the results of an experimental programme on the static mono-tonic response of cohesive-frictional granular materials. The purpose of this experimental programme was to gain insight into the mechanical ...
Schemes for Smooth Discretization And Inverse Problems - Case Study on Recovery of Tsunami Source Parameters
(2017-10-17)
This thesis deals with smooth discretization schemes and inverse problems, the former used in efficient yet accurate numerical solutions to forward models required in turn to solve inverse problems. The aims of the thesis ...
Fuzzy State Reservoir Operation Models For Irrigation
(2017-05-04)
Efficient management of limited water resources in an irrigation reservoir system is necessary to increase crop productivity. To achieve this, a reservoir release policy should be integrated with an optimal crop water ...
Numerical Modeling Of Jointed Rock Mass
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-28)
The behavior of jointed rock mass is very complex and is influenced by many factors such as location of joints, joint frequency, joint orientation and joint strength. A thorough review of literature on different aspects ...
