Behaviour Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Aggregate Systems Under Static, Repeated And Cyclic Loads
(2016-04-26)
Efficient road network and connectivity play vital role in the development of any country. Majority of the rural roads are unpaved and connectivity of rural roads is always a major challenge. Unpaved roads are also used ...
Numerical Methods For Solving The Eigenvalue Problem Involved In The Karhunen-Loeve Decomposition
(2014-05-05)
In structural analysis and design it is important to consider the effects of uncertainties in loading and material properties in a rational way. Uncertainty in material properties such as heterogeneity in elastic and mass ...
Assessment Of Seismic Hazard With Local Site Effects : Deterministic And Probabilistic Approaches
(2013-04-26)
Many researchers have pointed out that the accumulation of strain energy in the Penninsular Indian Shield region may lead to earthquakes of significant magnitude(Srinivasan and Sreenivas, 1977; Valdiya, 1998; Purnachandra ...
Fracture Energy And Process Zone In Plain Concrete Beams (An Experimental Study Including Acoustic Emission Technique)
(2013-05-20)
Concrete, which was hitherto considered as a brittle material, has shown much better softening behavior after the post peak load than anticipated. This behavior of concrete did put the researchers in a quandary, whether ...
Capacity Spectrum Method : Energy Based Approach
(2013-04-29)
The capacity spectrum method is a very popular tool in the performance based earthquake resistant design of structures. Though it involves nonlinear static analysis, it can be used to predict the dynamic behaviour of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
