Identification Tools For Smeared Damage With Application To Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements
(2011-01-10)
Countries world-over have thousands of critical structures and bridges which have been built decades back when strength-based designs were the order of the day. Over the years, magnitude and frequency of loadings on these ...
Impact Assessment Of Climate Change On Hydrometeorology Of River Basin For IPCC SRES Scenarios
(2010-09-28)
There is ample growth in scientific evidence about climate change. Since, hydrometeorological processes are sensitive to climate variability and changes, ascertaining the linkages and feedbacks between the climate and the ...
Hydrologic Impacts Of Clmate Change : Quantification Of Uncertainties
(2011-02-10)
General Circulation Models (GCMs), which are mathematical models based on principles of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics and radiative transfer, are the most reliable tools available for projecting climate change. However, ...
Non-Linear Finite Element Analysis Using Strain-Space Plasticity Coupled With Damage
(2011-01-27)
The Thesis deals with Strain-Space Plasticity and its implementation in Nonlinear Finite Element frame-work coupled with damage. Conventional Stress-Space Plasticity, though very popular amongst commercial nonlinear FEM ...
Fuzzy Dynamic Wave Models For Flow Routing And Flow Control In Open Channels
(2011-01-10)
The dynamic wave model (the complete form of the saint-Venant equations), as applied to flow routing in irrigation canals or flood routing in natural channels, is associated with parameter and model uncertainties. The ...
The Effect Of Interference Of Strip Foundations And Anchors On Their Ultimate Bearing Capacity And Elastic Settlement
(2011-01-10)
Due to close proximity of different civil engineering structures, the ultimate bearing capacity and failure pattern of adjoining footings/anchors are often influenced by their mutual interference. The present thesis is an ...
Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)
Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ...
Semi-active Control Of Earthquake Induced Vibrations In Structures Using MR Dampers : Algorithm Development, Experimental Verification And Benchmark Applications
(2010-08-16)
As Civil Engineering structures, e.g., tall buildings, long span bridges, deep water offshore platforms, nuclear power plants, etc., have become more costly, complex and serve more critical functions, the consequences of ...
Influence Of Joint Compliance On The Behaviour Of Space Structures
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-03-06)
Space structures are inevitable while covering large spans. Space structures are skeletal structures, which are lighter for the same stiffness when compared with RCC roofs. Till now, space structures, like any other metal ...
A New Mathematical Framework for Regional Frequency Analysis of Floods
(2018-06-19)
Reliable estimates of design flood quantiles are often necessary at sparsely gauged/ungauged target locations in river basins for various applications in water resources engineering. Development of effective methods for ...
