This data descriptor presents a detailed dataset of open-channel flow interacting with arrays of obstacles, originating from a laboratory experimental campaign involving Gaussian- and log-normal-shaped obstacles arranged ...
To understand the resistance of laterally loaded pile groups in a slope, an experimental 1 g model study and a finite element analysis study were conducted. The parameters varied were soil shear strengths, spacing between ...
Cities worldwide often rely on partial structural defenses to mitigate intensifying flood hazards. Although large-scale analyses suggest that partial levee coverage can reduce overall damage, its spatiotemporal effects ...
The future space-based gravitational wave observatories are expected to provide unprecedented opportunities to explore intricate characteristics of black hole binaries, particularly for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), ...
Climate ready multi sectoral risk management relies on understanding not only where extreme rainfall occurs but also how such events synchronize across regions and interact with internal climate modes. The stability of ...
Uncompensable heat stress (UHS)—characterized by the loss of homeostasis due to excessive environmental thermal loading—causes substantial mortality in India. However, the spatial and seasonal heterogeneity, as well as ...
Accurate short-to-subseasonal streamflow forecasts are becoming crucial for effective water management in an increasingly variable climate. However, streamflow forecast remains challenging over extended lead times, uncertainty ...
Ground motion is often recommended to be applied with all possible orientations relative to the plan layout of a structure, and the resulting maximum response for an engineering demand parameter (EDP) over all possible ...

Flash floods occur every year during the summer monsoon season in India, causing substantial damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and human life. Despite their profound implications, flash flood hotspots remain unknown, ...
India is one of the worst affected countries in the world in terms of fatalities and economic damage due to natural disasters, particularly floods. For planning flood mitigating and relief measures, granular historical ...
Natural phenomena such as wind speed, flood levels, precipitation, and many others exhibit bounded behavior on both ends due to physical constraints. This paper introduces an alternative Generalized Double Bounded Distribution ...
Seismic standards recommend RotD100 as the intensity measure to define the maximum direction shaking while accounting for directionality. Nevertheless, the inherent overestimation with this choice is well known. Alternatively, ...
Adaptation planning for water resource systems is fraught with significant challenges, arising from uncertainties associated with diverse climate change scenarios, varying model structures, and Internal Climate Variability ...

The conventional assessment of flood adaptation strategies often emphasizes the depth–damage relationship, overlooking the complex interactions between floods and buildings in damage modeling. This study uses a three-dimensional ...
In the present study, effect of shear strain amplitude and frequency on cyclic and post-cyclic response of coal ash was investigated under simple shear conditions. A series of multistage tests on coal ash specimens including ...
Compacted expansive soils are used as hydraulic barriers in landfill liners, deep nuclear waste disposal facilities, the core of earthen dams, seal layers of CO2 storage, etc. In the absence of high-quality fill material, ...
