Mica particles are platy, flexible and resilient in nature having numerous intact mica flakes foliated over each other with low stiffness. Presence of mica among sand particles creates complex geometric arrangements due ...
Emissions from trash burning represent an important component of regional air quality, especially in countries such as India where the practice of roadside, residential, and municipal trash burning is highly prevalent. ...
There is great potential to combine bioresource and recycled materials with nanotechnology for industrial and environmental applications. In a novel approach, silver (Ag) nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were imbedded on ...
Location of centers of rigidity (CR) in a confined masonry building is sensitive to the aspect ratio of constituting walls and wall-piers (in case of wall with openings). These centers, generally, do not lie on one vertical ...
Hydropower is a valuable renewable energy resource in India, which can help in climate change mitigation and meet the increasing energy demands. However, the crucial role of climate change on hydropower production in India ...
The recorded translational motions represent characteristics of the seismic excitation at one single point. Most foundation systems have finite, but considerable dimension, and it may offer rigidity constraint over the ...
Unsaturated expansive soils are recognized as one of the most problematic soils owing to its swelling-shrinkage characteristics. The presence of such soils in highway/railway embankments, slopes and earthen dam sites ...

The present study focuses on assessment and proba-
bilistic characterization of fire load, a key input to
performance-based fire design, in office and dormito-
ry buildings in India. A survey using ...
The present study develops a correlationship among different phases of metal for developing an understanding of metal distribution and speciation, which is seldom reported in many studies. Also, the study examines the ...
An increase in short duration precipitation extremes pose challenges for stormwater design in rapidly urbanizing India. The recent Paris Agreement aims to limit the global mean temperature (GMT) below 1.5 �C (and possibly ...
Historical in situ sub-daily rainfall observations are essential for the understanding of short-duration rainfall extremes but records are typically not readily accessible and data are often subject to errors and ...
Groundwater is a lifeline for millions of people in India, which is affected by the year?to?year variability of precipitation amount and characteristics (low and high intensity). Precipitation intensity has been observed ...
Construction of faculty housing and student�s hostels in a fully-residential 400-acre academic campus of Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) in the State of Gujarat, India is the first large scale confined ...
