    • A Study On The Predictive Optimal Active Control Of Civil Engineering Structures 

      Keyhani, Ali (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-18)
      Uncertainty involved in the safe and comfort design of the structures is a major concern of civil engineers. Traditionally, the uncertainty has been overcome by utilizing various and relatively large safety factors for ...

    • Conjunctive And Multipurpose Operation Of Reservoirs Using Genetic Algorithms 

      Seetha Ram, Katakam V (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
      Optimal operation of reservoir systems is necessary for better utilizing the limited water resources and to justify the high capital investments associated with reservoir projects. However, finding optimal policies for ...

    • Study And Design Of Two-Thirds Power Weir 

      Reddy, K Ranga (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
      This thesis is devoted to the study and designs of two important proportional weirs having the discharge-head characteristics of Q α H 2/3 In the first design a geometrically simple weir in the form of a rectangular weir ...

    • Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District 

      Revanasiddappa, K (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
      Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ...

    • Stabilisation Of Black Cotton Soil By Lime Piles 

      Venkata Swamy, B (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-07)
      Modification of black cotton soils by chemical admixtures is a common method for stabilizing the swell-shrink tendency of expansive soils. Advantages of chemical stabilization are that they reduce the swell-shrink tendency ...

    • Analysis Of Solute Transport In Porous Media For Nonreactive And Sorbing Solutes Using Hybrid FCT Model 

      Srinivasan, C (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-06)
      The thesis deals with the numerical modeling of nonreactive and nonlinearly sorbing solutes in groundwater and analysis of the effect of heterogeneity resulting from spatial variation of physical and chemical parameters ...

    • Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties 

      Nagaraj, H B (Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)
      Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ...

    • Numerical Analysis Of Large Size Horizontal Strip Anchors 

      Krishna, Y S R (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 ...
