Presently available simplified analytical methods and semi-empirical methods for the analysis of buried pipelines subjected to fault motion are suitable only for the strike-slip and the normal-slip type fault motions, and ...

[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 ...

Soil–cement bricks are vastly more energy efficient than fired clay bricks. Although they have adequate strength, they absorb high levels of moisture and in humid conditions they become soft and non-uniform expansion leads ...

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a naturally occurring biological process that has various applications in remediation and restoration of range of building materials. In the present study the role of ...

Climate extremes have profound implications for urban infrastructure and human society, but studies of observed changes in climate extremes over the global urban areas are few, even though more than half of the global ...

Several experimental studies have shown that infill panels in a structural frame have a significant effect on their in-plane as well as out-of-plane behavior. While masonry infill offers good resistance to in-plane loads, ...

The Himalayan water towers (e.g., Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra) play a major role in water resource availability and affect a significant population in the South Asia region. Climatic uncertainty in the region not only ...
