Duo-pile (two piles connected by a beam) can be used as foundation system for elevated railways and highways. The design of foundation system for these types of structures is very critical with respect to lateral deflection ...
Drought in South Asia affect food and water security and pose challenges for millions of people. For policy-making, planning, and management of water resources at sub-basin or administrative levels, high-resolution datasets ...

Flood wave propagation is simulated due to a hypothetical ash dyke failure, in this work. Effect of breach parameters, bed roughness, and rheological parameters on the propagated flood is studied. For the cases considered, ...
Nuclear power plants (NPPs) are designed and assessed for severe earthquake shaking, which can pose significant demands on the structural system and internal equipment. Base isolation is a viable means to substantially ...
Even though the rotational ground motion may contribute significantly to the response of certain structures, their effects are generally ignored in seismic design, because of non-availability of appropriate instruments for ...
An intercomparison of climate change impacts projected by nine regional-scale hydrological models for 12 large river basins on all continents was performed, and sources of uncertainty quantified in the framework of the ...

A novel coupled framework for analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) and steel planar frames subjected to fire is developed with three-way coupling between heat transfer, mechanical deformations and pore pressure build-up. ...
Purpose
Reinforced concrete structural frames with masonry infills (infill-frames) are commonly used for construction worldwide. While the behavior of such frames has been studied extensively in the context of earthquake ...

The effect of seismic hazard definition on the distribution of isolation-system displacements in a nuclear power plant (NPP) are studied in the paper and recommendations are made for design practice. The NPP is considered ...
Design of railway track and highways on embankments with compacted fills often needs the value of small-strain shear modulus of the fill soil to be known before construction. This paper presents a new method of determining ...
