Studies into Embodied and Operational Energy in Traditional and Conventional Residential Buildings in India
The role of the built environment and the construction industry in sustainable development gained global attention due to their significant share in global warming, GHG emissions, energy demand and depletion of non-renewable ...
Novel Numerical Procedures for Limit Analysis: Implementation to Planar, Axisymmetric and Three-Dimensional Geomechanics Stability Problems
The Current research in the field of computational limit analysis dwells upon the development of numerical tools which are sufficiently efficient and robust to be used in engineering practices. This places demands on the ...
Macroscopic modelling of heterogeneous, disordered road traffic flow
The groundwork for much of the existing traffic flow theory was laid in the 1950s and 1960s by researchers from developed economies like the United States. The car-following modelling approach, which is arguably the most ...
Shaking Table Studies on Seismic Response of Unreinforced and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes
Experiences from recent earthquake records all over the world suggest that
reinforced soil slopes provide better resistance to the seismic forces and possess
higher yield accelerations compared to unreinforced slopes. ...
Hammer Energy Ratios of Different Spt Setups Using Indigenous Hammer Energy Measurement Apparatus
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is carried using different components and lifting mechanisms, which causes variation in energy efficiency and the inverse relationship between energy transferred to drill rod and N value was ...
Extra-cellular Polysaccharides and Microbially Induced Carbonate Cementation Using Indigenous Microbes in Cattle Manure
Soft soils are composed of large portions of silts and clay and are characterized by low strength and high compressibility owing to their high-water content. Biocementation techniques are emerging as a strong alternative ...
Design Flood Estimation at Ungauged Locations using Geomorphological Characteristics
Estimates of design flood are necessary at locations of hydrologic structures (e.g., flood control dams, barrages) in studies related to their planning, design and risk assessment. In situations, where failure of hydrologic ...
Weakly cemented granular materials: study at multiple length scales
Cemented granular systems are encountered at various scales in nature and artificially. We present an experimental study carried out on the structure and mechanical behaviour of weakly cemented granular materials. We study ...
Seismic Site Classification and Response Studies of Shallow Bedrock Sites
Among all-natural hazards, earthquakes are the most damaging in terms of loss of lives and damage to infrastructure. Amplification and liquefaction are the major effects of earthquake that cause massive damages to ...
Spatial downscaling and analysis of satellite and ground-based rainfall for hydrological modelling
Precipitation is a vital element of the global hydrological and energy cycles, which is intermittent and highly variable in both space and time. Accurate measurements of precipitation at various space and time scales are ...
