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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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, ...

Preloading with vertical drains is a well-proven ground improvement technique suitable for soft clay deposits. This technique involves installing vertical drains that cause soil remolding in the immediate vicinity of its ...
Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns provide high load-bearing capacity, reduced c/s, and better fire resistance compared to hollow steel columns due to the presence of concrete. Usually, when CFST columns are ...
Urban areas face high pluvial flood risks due to intense storms from climate change, more impervious surfaces from urbanization, and inefficient drainage systems. The consequences include damage to infrastructure, public ...
This study explores the global proliferation of tall buildings, highlighting the critical examination of wind pressure during their design. It systematically addresses the spatial variability of mean pressure coefficients ...
Soil moisture (SM) rapid transition categorized by the rapid swings between drought and wet phase has profound implications for agriculture and water resources. However, the drivers, impacts, and characteristics of the ...

In today’s rapidly growing economy, urbanization is expanding quickly, transforming landscapes and increasing heat retention in urban areas. This increased urban heat drives a higher reliance on energy-intensive cooling ...
Ground-motion-prediction-equations (GMPEs) play a critical role in seismic hazard analysis. However, the conventional methods for developing GMPEs, which rely on functional forms and assumptions like homoscedasticity, can ...
This study focuses on buried object detection using the cross-correlation and wavelet coherence of multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) datasets. Underground objects (pipes, building foundations, and rocks) create ...
