The present study demonstrates potential utilization of lime-stabilized sewage sludge (SS) for construction purposes. SS samples were constituted using 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% of lime by weight of the SS and cured for 7, 14 and ...
The present study, through a multi model assessment approach emphasizes the relevance of prior urban settlement planning with respect to the changing land use pattern. A coupled approach integrating satellite data products ...
Floods are the most frequent natural calamity in India. The Godavari river basin (GRB) witnessed several floods in the past 50 years. Notwithstanding the large damage and economic loss, the role of extreme precipitation ...
Groundwater is a vital resource to support food and freshwater security in India. Changes in climate and anthropogenic activities affect groundwater storage. Here, we examine the role of precipitation and policy changes ...
This study proposes a displacement based design methodology for cantilever retaining walls with shear key to enhance its performance under seismic loading. Two-dimensional, plane strain finite element dynamic analyses of ...
Water management activities affect the terrestrial water cycle by increasing water supply and redistributing the water and energy budgets over irrigated agricultural land. However, the dynamics of how water management ...
Irrigated area in India has significantly increased after the green revolution. However, quantification of irrigation influence on vegetation health and land surface temperature (LST) remains limited. Here, we develop a ...
Droughts in India affect food production, gross domestic product (GDP), livelihood, and socio-economic condition of a large population associated with agriculture. Recent drought (2015�2018) caused groundwater depletion ...
Cohesive soil undergoes cyclic softening when experiences the dynamic loading conditions. Evaluation of strength loss under such loading conditions is essential for soil stability analysis. The present study investigates ...
Mica particles are flaky and layered in nature with relatively low hardness as compared to quartz particles. Micaceous soil with more than 10% mica is generally not recommended for pavements due to low compactability and ...
Millions of people in South Asia face water scarcity every year. Previous studies based on the multi-model ensemble mean reported a decline in dryness (the ratio of potential evapotranspiration and precipitation) in South ...
Climatological features of observed annual maximum hourly precipitation have not been documented systematically compared to those on daily timescales due to observational limitations. Drawing from a quality-controlled ...
