Studies On Shear Bond Strength - Masonry Compressive Strength Relationship And Finite Element Model For Prediction Of Masonry Compressive Strength
(2009-04-16)
Masonry is a layered composite consisting of mortar and the masonry unit. Perfect bond between the masonry unit and the mortar is essential for the masonry to perform as one single entity in order to resist the stresses ...
A Framework to Measure the Socio-Economic Impact of Development Programs Using Malmquist Index
(2018-06-08)
The main objective of this research is to evaluate the socio economic impact of the development programs like MGNREGA, JnNURM and development of Roads project, on the intended target area. The entire thesis can be divided ...
Characterization of Different Slags for Bulk Geotechnical Applications
(2018-05-29)
Generation of wastes in the form of liquid, solid or gas is inevitable in any industry.Industrial Solid Waste is the waste that is generated from an industrial or manufacturing process and includes the waste generated from ...
A Smooth Finite Element Method Via Triangular B-Splines
(2013-07-25)
A triangular B-spline (DMS-spline)-based finite element method (TBS-FEM) is proposed along with possible enrichment through discontinuous Galerkin, continuous-discontinuous Galerkin finite element (CDGFE) and stabilization ...
Behaviour of Granular Materials Under Shock and Blast Loading - A Shock Tube Investigation
Granular and porous materials based protective layers have proven to be very good shock absorbing medium. Although sand material is widely used (as sand bags) till date in civil and military applications as a blast mitigating ...
Studies into Embodied and Operational Energy in Traditional and Conventional Residential Buildings in India
The role of the built environment and the construction industry in sustainable development gained global attention due to their significant share in global warming, GHG emissions, energy demand and depletion of non-renewable ...
Shaking Table Studies on Seismic Response of Unreinforced and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Slopes
Experiences from recent earthquake records all over the world suggest that
reinforced soil slopes provide better resistance to the seismic forces and possess
higher yield accelerations compared to unreinforced slopes. ...
Hammer Energy Ratios of Different Spt Setups Using Indigenous Hammer Energy Measurement Apparatus
Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is carried using different components and lifting mechanisms, which causes variation in energy efficiency and the inverse relationship between energy transferred to drill rod and N value was ...
Design Flood Estimation at Ungauged Locations using Geomorphological Characteristics
Estimates of design flood are necessary at locations of hydrologic structures (e.g., flood control dams, barrages) in studies related to their planning, design and risk assessment. In situations, where failure of hydrologic ...
