Strength And Deformation Behaviour Of Jointed Rocks : An Equivalent Continuum Model
(2009-06-30)
Most rock masses encountered in civil and mining engineering projects contain pre-existing discontinuities. These discontinuities weaken the rock masses to an extent, which depends very much on the size of engineering ...
A Study On Inelastic Response Of Multi-Storey Buildings To Near-field Ground Motions
(2009-07-21)
With the advancement in knowledge of inelastic response of structures, the design and construction practices of reinforced concrete buildings have been changing worldwide. Most of the codes are incorporating the near-fault ...

(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-13)
The problem of passive earth pressure is one of the important topics in Geotechnical engineering. At attempt is made in this thesis to generate passive earth pressure coefficients for general c-Φ soils using logarithmic ...
Studies On Compacted Stabilised Fly Ash Mixtures And Fly Ash Bricks For Masonry
(2010-04-12)
Fly ash is a waste product from thermal power plants where pulverised coal is used for the generation of electricity. Fly ash is being utilised in the blended cements, additive for concrete and manufacturing of concrete ...
Stochastic Simulation Of Daily Rainfall Data Using Matched Block Bootstrap
(2010-04-13)
Characterizing the uncertainty in rainfall using stochastic models has been a challenging area of research in the field of operational hydrology for about half a century. Simulated sequences drawn from such models find use ...
Endochronic Constitutive Model for Sands and Its Application to Geotechnical Problems
(2018-05-01)
The introductions of large digital computers in the field of engineering have rendered possible the solution of a wide variety of problems without the need to violate the equilibrium and compatibility. The major requirement ...
Role of Composition, Structure and Physico-Chemical Environment on Stabilisation of Kuttanad Soil
(2018-04-12)
Soft soil deposits of coastal regions and lowland areas pose many geotechnical problems but it is indispensable to utilize these grounds to meet the growing demand for infrastructure with ever increasing urbanization and ...
Influence of Permeation of Synthetic Groundwater Solutions on the Hydro-Mechanical Proerties of Barmer Bentonite
(2018-04-11)
The deep geological repository concept is based on “engineered barriers systems (EBS)” that are constructed in the repository and “natural barriers” provided by the surrounding geological environment. The EBS comprises of ...
Hydrologic Response of Upper Ganga Basin to Changing Land Use and Climate
(2018-04-17)
Numerous studies indicate that the hydrology of a river basin is influenced by Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and climate. LULC affects the quality and quantity of water resources through its influence on Evapotranspiration ...
Shape Characterization of Granular Particles using Image Based Techniques
(2018-05-22)
Granular soils with different sizes and shapes are often used in many civil engineering structures. In different contexts, several researchers have emphasized that shape of particles play a pivotal role in influencing ...
