Streamflow forecasts are very useful for a variety of applications such as flood warning, reservoir operation and water resources planning and management, especially in countries like India where streamflow can be highly ...

Cement stabilised rammed earth (CSRE) is a monolithic construction used for the loadbearing walls in the buildings and other structures. The soil, fine aggregates and cement form the basic materials for the CSRE construction. ...

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a family of numerical methods to solve boundary value problems. The founding principle of isogeometric methods is aimed at integrating computer aided design (CAD) with nite element method ...

Structures in rock mass such as slopes and tunnels form an important segment in the infrastructure development of a country. Rock mass consists of intact rock matrix with numerous discontinuities that can be represented ...

Water Distribution Systems (WDS) are one of the most important infrastructures in a society, which has a direct impact on human lives. Water authorities around the world are expected to supply the required amount of water ...

With the growth of computational resources available, demand on the accuracy and speed of simulation is steeply increasing. Accordingly, accounting for the variabilities in the simulations plays a pivotal role in taking ...

Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ...

The ubiquitous use of concrete as a construction material in the civil engineering industry demands a thorough understanding of its failure process under different types of loading. The composite nature of cementitious ...

For determining the response of foundation soils subjected to different kinds of vibrations emerging from (i) an occurrence of an earthquake, (ii) movements of trains over railways tracks, (iii) running of vehicles over ...

Adhesive forces, mediated by van der Waals’ and other interactions, dominate the contact response in the micron and sub-micron regimes. Understanding adhesion is especially important in biological systems (interaction of ...
