Earth System Models (ESMs) are the state of the art for projecting the effects of climate change. However, longstanding uncertainties in their ability to simulate regional and local precipitation extremes and related ...
Recognizing the abundant use of lateritic soils in the construction of embankments and their susceptibility towards extreme erosion, it is necessary to explore the influence of stress history and strain rate on their ...
We evaluated the anthropogenic forcing and exceedance probability of arsenic vulnerability in the Quaternary Alluviums of the Mid-Gangetic Plain through the coupled application of hydrogeochemical analyses, inverse modelling, ...
This article presents the results of level-set (LS) discrete element method (DEM) simulations with experimental comparisons of flexible boundary plane strain tests in granular media. The grain-scale micromechanics at the ...
A constitutive model has been proposed for predicting rate-dependent stress�strain response of sand and further implemented in finite element code to explore the influence of strain rate on the localization behavior of ...

Designing effective recovery strategies for damaged networks is important across built, human, and natural systems. Postperturbation network recovery has been motivated by two distinct philosophies, specifically, the use ...
The objective of this study is to model and analyze inter-organizational communication networks on social media to characterize the roles of organizations and situational information communication before, during and after ...

The influence of perturbation magnitude and extent of area on the emergence of localized instability in sand specimens subjected to biaxial loading has been explored within a numerical framework using a generalized 3D ...
Despite the rapid depletion of groundwater and significant changes in surface water storage, the role of anthropogenic and climatic factors on terrestrial water storage (TWS) in India remains largely unexplored. Here, we ...
This research paper describes a laboratory-based unpaved pavement model study incorporating new types of jute geotextiles (JGTs) intended for low-volume roads under static loading. Tests on the pavement models were carried ...

Seismic response evaluation of the site of interest subjected to a bedrock motion is one of the most important problems in earthquake geotechnical engineering. For one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear site response analysis in ...
Microorganisms play an important role in arsenic (As) cycling in the environment. Microbes mobilize As directly or indirectly, and natural/geochemical processes such as sulphate and iron reduction, oxidative sulphide mineral ...
