Rapid groundwater depletion in India is a sustainability challenge. However, the crucial role of climate and groundwater pumping on persisting groundwater drought remains unrecognized. Using the data from Gravity recovery ...
Global reanalysis products are extensively used for hydrologic applications in sparse data regions. ERA?5, among the new?era reanalysis products, has been significantly improved for horizontal and vertical resolutions and ...
Cyclic behavior of cohesionless soils at cyclic strains and frequencies resembling strong ground motion is highly non-linear. Recent developments in numerical analysis tools for the non-linear dynamic response of soils ...
Micaceous soil is believed to be detrimental for civil engineering constructions due to the effect of high compressibility, low compacted density and low shear strength. Individual mica particle has numerous intact mica ...
Mica particles are flaky and layered in nature with relatively low hardness as compared to quartz particles. Micaceous soil with more than 10% mica is generally not recommended for pavements due to low compactability and ...
Effect of fines content (FC) and its nature (plastic fines and non-plastic fines) on the volume compressibility and pore pressure response of 32 soils from 10 locations of Kutch (high seismicity region) is studied. Volume ...
Millions of people in Indian sub-continent are affected by floods, which have increased during the past decades and likely to increase further in response to warming climate. However, changes in the frequency of floods and ...
Kutch region has experienced widespread liquefaction and related damage during a series of past earthquakes; however, cyclic behavior of sandy soils of the region is yet to be explored. The current study is focused on the ...
