A Hydroclimatological Change Detection and Attribution Study over India using CMIP5 Models
(2017-11-14)
As a result of increase in global average surface temperature, abnormalities in different hydroclimatic components such as evapotranspiration, stream flow and precipitation have been experienced. So investigation has to ...
Upper Bound Finite Element Limit Analysis for Problems of Reinforced Earth, Unsupported Tunnels and a Group of Anchors
(2017-11-27)
This thesis presents the implementation of the upper bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear optimization for solving different stability problems in geomechanics under plane strain conditions. ...
Non Motorized Transport Planning for an Indian City
(2017-11-16)
Indian cities are currently facing various transportation issues like congestion, pollution, urban inequity, high fatality rate due to accidents etc. because of an increase in the ownership of private motor vehicles and ...
Influence of Chemo-Mechanical Factors on Compression and Undrained Strengths of Soft Kaolinites Prepared using Synthetic Seawater
(2017-11-28)
Marine clay deposits are characterized by very soft to soft consistencies (undrained strength 1-50 kPa), presence of saline pore solution and low-swelling clays. Besides, loss of metastable structure on disturbance, poor ...
Effect of Cyclic Strain Path And Vibration Cycles on Shear Modulus And Damping of Sand
(2017-09-23)
The soil strata is often subjected to various kinds of vibrations such as that caused by earthquakes, water waves, traffic loads, wind power plants, construction related equipments, pile driving and vibratory machines. The ...
Assessment of Leachate Characteristics and Geotechnical Properties of Municipal Solid Waste Landfill
(2018-01-04)
Solid Waste Management is one of the essential services provided by local bodies to keep the urban areas clean. Often it is poorly rendered as it is unscientific, out-dated and inefficient. With the rapid increase in ...
Studies on The Transport Rates of Heavy Metals in the Design of Liner Thickness and Remediation of Soils
(2018-01-01)
The enormous rate of increase in waste generation across the world is a serious threat to the future generation, if not handled properly, due to the creation of health hazards and global warming. This was awakened many ...
Modeling and Analysis of Water Distribution Systems
(2018-01-09)
In most of the urban cities of developing countries piped water supply is intermittent and they receive water on alternate days for about few hours. The Unaccounted For Water (UFW) in these cities is very high due to aged ...
Analytical and Numerical Modeling for Heat Transport in a Geothermal Reservoir due to Cold Water Injection
(2018-01-09)
Geothermal energy is the energy naturally present inside the earth crust. When a large
volume of hot water and steam is trapped in subsurface porous and permeable rock
structure and a convective circulating current is set ...
Experimental and Analytical Studies on Damage Detection and Failure Analysis of Transmission Towers and Tower like Structures
(2017-12-07)
The transmission line (TL) tower is an important component in electrical network system. These towers consist of members (angle sections) and connections (bolted connections) plus foundation, which act together to resist ...
