The Strut-and-Tie-Model (STM) of a confined masonry wall, with or without opening, consists of an equivalent system, in which the masonry wall is modelled as compression struts and the reinforced concrete (RC) confining ...
Rainfall extremes are projected to increase under the warming climate. The Clausius-Clapeyron (C-C) relationship provides a physical basis to understand the sensitivity of rainfall extremes in response to warming, however, ...
Van Loon, Anne F.; Kumar, Rohini; Mishra, Vimal(European Geosciences Union, 2017-04)
In 2015, central and eastern Europe were affected by a severe drought. This event has recently been studied from meteorological and streamflow perspective, but no analysis of the groundwater situation has been performed. ...
This study investigates the effects of some commonly encountered constraints such as inclined scanning trajectory, multiple targets in the vicinity and material variation on GPR responses of pipes and walls. Further, the ...

Seismic performance evaluation of a structure against seismic excitation is a crucial part of the
safety examination. Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) is the best option for the performance
evaluation which is not ...
Nema, Harshit(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Field testing of full scale structure always gives a better idea about its characteristics properties as compared to analysis of the structure in different softwares which includes lot of assumptions and idealization, ...
Upadhyay, Abhishek(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Over the past few decades tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS) has established itself as a highly
reliable technique for the measurement of gas parameters, specially in systems that require high
sensitivity, high ...
Kasturi, Keerthi Priya(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Understanding of water budget in river basins is important for water resources planning and management. However, water budget and associated uncertainty is not well quantified for the river basins in the Indian sub-continent ...
Sahu, Bidhan Kumar(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Research studies in hydraulic engineering greatly depend on various measurements. Currently available equipment’s for various hydraulic measurements can provide data with high accuracy. However, these are usually very ...
Ali, Syed Azar(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Hydropower is one of the important renewable energy resources in India, which is sensitive to climate change. Future changes and associated uncertainty in streamflow and hydropower potential are examined using simulations ...
Thakur, Mohmad Mohsin(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is capable of mapping subsurface pipelines and archaeological features such as floors and walls. These features may exist in conjunction with other archaeological features, and in such ...
Ghumde, Atik Kishor(Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, 2016)
The mesoscale study of nominal strength concrete with focus on its tensile and compressive behaviour under monotonic loading both at room temperature and elevated temperature is the scope of this work. Diverse mechanical ...
This paper reports a novel approach for underwater measurement of mobile bottom surface by using an inexpensive 3-D depth sensor – Kinect. The sensor is tested in controlled conditions for surface profiling of rigid objects ...
