Solutions For Plane Strain And Axisymmetric Geomechanics Problems With Lower Bound Finite Elements Limit Analysis
(2011-04-05)
The present thesis illustrates the application of the lower bound limit analysis in combination with finite elements and linear programming for obtaining the numerical solutions for various plane strain and axisymmetric ...
Stabilised Rammed Earth For Walls : Materials, Compressive Strength And Elastic Properties
(2011-01-10)
Rammed earth is a technique of forming in-situ structural wall elements using rigid formwork. Advantages of rammed earth walls include flexibility in plan form, scope for adjusting strength and wall thickness, variety of ...
Steady State Dynamics Of Systems With Fractional Order Derivative Damping Models
(2011-01-10)
Rubber like materials find wide applications in damping treatment of structures, vibration isolations and they appear prominently in the form of hoses in many structures such as aircraft engines. The study reported in this ...
Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-03-23)
Structures like transmission towers, tele-communication masts, dry-docks, tall chimneys, tunnels and burried pipelines under water etc are subjected to considerable uplift forces. The net effect of external loading on the ...
Effects Of Reinforcement Parameters On The Behavior Of Geosynthetic Reinforced Foundation Beds
(2010-09-22)
Use of geosynthetics for reinforcing soil beds supporting shallow foundations has gained tremendous popularity in recent times. In this thesis, to study and understand the behaviour of geosynthetics reinforced soil ...
Static And Dynamic Behaviour Of Cement Stabilised Rammed Earth Panels And Building Models
(2011-01-10)
Rammed earth is one of the earliest building materials used for structural walls. Stabilised rammed earth is a variant of traditional or pure rammed earth that involves addition of a small amount of cement to improve ...
Factors Affecting The Static And Dynamic Response Of Jointed Rock Masses
(2010-07-20)
Infrastructure is developing at an extremely fast pace which includes construction of metros, underground storage places, railway bridges, caverns and tunnels. Very often these structures are found in or on the rock masses. ...
Novel Sub-Optimal And Particle Filtering Strategies For Identification Of Nonlinear Structural Dynamical Systems
(2009-09-15)
Development of dynamic state estimation techniques and their applications in problems of identification in structural engineering have been taken up. The thrust of the study has been the identification of structural systems ...
Fracture Of Plain Concrete Beams Via Fractals
(2009-09-02)
The quantitative description of rough fracture surfaces of concrete has been an important challenge for many years. Looking at the fracture surface of a concrete specimen, one realizes that the self-affine geometry of crack ...
Localization Induced Base Isolation In Fractionally And Hysteretically Damped Nonlinear Systems
(2009-08-04)
This Thesis comprises of two parts containing similar studies of Nonlinear Localization induced Base Isolation of structural systems. The present method of base isolation,like other nonlinear vibration isolation methods, ...
