Droughts in South Asia pose substantial challenges to water resources, agricultural, and socio-economic growth of more than two billon people. However, the most detrimental soil moisture droughts, their impacts, and ...
Orientation of a structure in a site is generally known but not the direction of maximum shaking during a future seismic event. Two different types of intensity measures (IMs) are usually used to approximately account for ...
Microplastics in aquatic ecosystem are an emerging environmental threat, primarily aggregating into sediments and living biota besides providing active transportation to toxic pollutants. Recent studies have revealed that ...
Rapid groundwater depletion due to anthropogenic pumping for irrigation poses enormous challenges on socio?economic, agricultural, and financial spheres of India. However, the role of groundwater depletion on flood potential ...
The railway embankment applied to high-speed railways is required to have high performance in terms of strength and deformation characteristics. Especially in the case of railway embankments that support slab tracks, the ...
Current literature suggests that urban heat-islands and their consequences are intensifying under climate change and urbanization. Here we explore the relatively unexplored hypothesis that emerging urban corridors (UCs) ...
Flow features at a 90-degree equal-width open-channel confluence are studied by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software Fluent (version 17.2). Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations ...
This experimental study describes the elastic and yielding response of compacted high plasticity clay in conjunction with deformation characteristics at relatively larger strains for different stress paths and stress states. ...
