The compactability and compressibility behavior of a soil mass through removal of air or water is majorly dependent on soil-structure, type and rate of loading conditions. The uniqueness of micaceous sand arises from the ...
India has witnessed some of the most devastating extreme precipitation events, which have affected urban transportation, agriculture, and infrastructure. Despite the profound implications and damage due to extreme precipitation ...
Expansive soils in the unsaturated state are part of vadose zone and encountered in several arid and semi-arid parts of the world. Influence of high temperature, low precipitation and alternate cycles of wetting and drying ...
Micaceous soils are generally known for their high compressibility, low compactability, and low shear strength behavior. Mica particles are flaky, flexible, and resilient nature with low stiffness and hardness due to ...
The present study develops a generic three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model to characterize the in-plane and out-of-plane behavior of masonry infill reinforced concrete (RC) frames under fire exposure. The developed ...
This study explores the effect of stress state on small strain modulus (Gmax) in the naturally occurring Ganga sand and silt using bender elements during a series of carefully performed undrained triaxial tests. Unlike the ...
The evaluation of the damage and impact after disastrous events offers a unique learning opportunity to improve existing earthquake risk reduction measures or implement new strategies. Damage observations and building ...
This book provides detailed analysis methods and design guidelines for fire resistance, a vital consideration for offshore processing and production platforms. Recent advancements in the selection of various geometric ...
Spatial variability of the translational ground motion may influence the seismic design of certain civil engineering structures with spatially extended foundations. Lagged coherency is usually considered to be the best ...
