At-site and Multisite Probabilistic Forecasting of Streamflow
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 ...
Studies on the behaviour of the fibre reinforced cement stabilised rammed earth
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 based formulations for the bending analysis of laminated composite structural elements
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 ...
Reliability based analysis and design of slopes and tunnels in rock mass
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 ...
State and Parameter Estimation in Water Distribution Systems
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 ...
Development of an efficient domain decomposition algorithm for solving large stochastic mechanics problems
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 ...
Experimental Investigations Into Fracture and Fatigue Behavior Of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Acoustic Emission Technique
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 ...
Micromechanical modeling of fracture and fatigue behavior of cementitious composites
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 ...
An Application of Resonant Column along with Bender Elements Tests for Assessing Dynamic Properties and Liquefaction Potential of Sand
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 ...
Quasi-Static and Implicit-Dynamic Finite Element Solution of Large Deformation Elastic Adhesive Contacts Using a Volumetric Interaction Scheme
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 ...
