Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)
Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ...
Effects Of Reinforcement Parameters On The Behavior Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Foundation Beds
(2010-09-22)
Use of geosynthetics for reinforcing soil beds supporting shallow foundations has gained tremendous popularity in recent times. In this thesis, to study and understand the behaviour of geosynthetics reinforced soil ...
Static And Dynamic Behaviour Of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth Panels And Building Models
(2011-01-10)
Rammed earth is one of the earliest building materials used for structural walls. Stabilised rammed earth is a variant of traditional or pure rammed earth that involves addition of a small amount of cement to improve ...
Application Of Polynomial Reproducing Schemes To Nonlinear Mechanics
(2011-03-15)
The application of polynomial reproducing methods has been explored in the context of linear and non linear problems. Of specific interest is the application of a recently developed reproducing scheme, referred to as the ...
