Accidental eccentricity is aimed to account for any unforeseen factor that may attribute to the torsional response. These sources can be broadly classified into two components, namely, uncertainty in geometry and material ...

Even though the rotational ground motion may contribute significantly to the response of certain structures, their effects are generally ignored in seismic design, because of non-availability of appropriate instruments for ...

Worldwide, there is continuous search for finding new materials for use in civil/geotechnical Engineering practice. This paper presents the emergence of one such material known as coir geotextiles. Efforts have been made ...

[1] The Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) has experienced a remarkable agricultural extensification since the mid-1800s. Hydroclimatological monitoring in the 20th century also reveals positive annual precipitation and ...
