Mechanism And Control Of Sulphuric Acid Induced Heave in Soils
(2010-07-12)
The escalating pollution of the environment has been one of the greatest concerns of science in recent years. Industrial advances in agriculture, expansion of chemical industries and a general change in lifestyle all over ...
Fracture Characteristics Of Self Consolidating Concrete
(2010-07-16)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has wide use for placement in congested reinforced concrete structures in recent years. SCC represents one of the most outstanding advances in concrete technology during the last two ...
Influence Of Osmotic Suction On The Swell And Compression Behaviour Of Compacted Expansive Clays
(2008-11-03)
Total suction of unsaturated soils is contributed by matric and osmotic suctions.
Matric suction arises from capillary actions in the soil structure and varies with changes in moisture content of the soil. Pore fluid ...
Modelling Of Single And Multiple Recharge Wells In Layered Aquifers
(2009-05-06)
Artificial recharge and rainwater harvesting methods are being applied for mitigating effects of groundwater depletions in severe over-drafting urban and rural situations. When the aquifer to be recharged is situated at ...
Remedial Measures For Alkali Induced Heave In Soils
(2010-07-15)
Sub-surface soil pollution by various processes with high concentration of contaminants can significantly alter geotechnical properties of soils causing unexpected failures of structures founded on them. The changes can ...
Detection of Trends in Rainfall of Homogeneous Regions and Hydro-Climatic Variables of Tapi Basin with their Attribution
(2018-07-14)
In the present work, methodology of statistical analysis of change evolved by Kundzewicz and Robson (204) is revised to obtain a robust methodology named as “Comprehensive Aproach” which addresses research gaps of earlier ...
Analysis Of Precipitation Controls On Hydrochemistry Of A Groundwater System : Application To Upper Cauvery Basin : South India
(2011-01-10)
Groundwater chemistry is a function of recharge and the input chemistry of the rain, which gets transformed as it moves through the soil matrix. Apart from mineral transformations, anthropogenic activities are other external ...
Solutions For Plane Strain And Axisymmetric Geomechanics Problems With Lower Bound Finite Elements Limit Analysis
(2011-04-05)
The present thesis illustrates the application of the lower bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming for obtaining the numerical solutions for various plane strain and axisymmetric ...
Stabilised Rammed Earth For Walls : Materials, Compressive Strength And Elastic Properties
(2011-01-10)
Rammed earth is a technique of forming in-situ structural wall elements using rigid formwork. Advantages of rammed earth walls include flexibility in plan form, scope for adjusting strength and wall thickness, variety of ...
Steady State Dynamics Of Systems With Fractional Order Derivative Damping Models
(2011-01-10)
Rubber like materials find wide applications in damping treatment of structures, vibration isolations and they appear prominently in the form of hoses in many structures such as aircraft engines. The study reported in this ...
