Accurate short-to-subseasonal streamflow forecasts are becoming crucial for effective water management in an increasingly variable climate. However, streamflow forecast remains challenging over extended lead times, uncertainty ...

Ground motion is often recommended to be applied with all possible orientations relative to the plan layout of a structure, and the resulting maximum response for an engineering demand parameter (EDP) over all possible ...

India is one of the worst affected countries in the world in terms of fatalities and economic damage due to natural disasters, particularly floods. For planning flood mitigating and relief measures, granular historical ...

Natural phenomena such as wind speed, flood levels, precipitation, and many others exhibit bounded behavior on both ends due to physical constraints. This paper introduces an alternative Generalized Double Bounded Distribution ...

The conventional assessment of flood adaptation strategies often emphasizes the depth–damage relationship, overlooking the complex interactions between floods and buildings in damage modeling. This study uses a three-dimensional ...

Compacted expansive soils are used as hydraulic barriers in landfill liners, deep nuclear waste disposal facilities, the core of earthen dams, seal layers of CO2 storage, etc. In the absence of high-quality fill material, ...

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns provide high load-bearing capacity, reduced c/s, and better fire resistance compared to hollow steel columns due to the presence of concrete. Usually, when CFST columns are ...

This study explores the global proliferation of tall buildings, highlighting the critical examination of wind pressure during their design. It systematically addresses the spatial variability of mean pressure coefficients ...

In recent years, natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes have become more frequent, directly impacting man-made structures, particularly those in vulnerable areas such as hilly terrain. The Statue of Unity (SoU), ...

Ground-motion-prediction-equations (GMPEs) play a critical role in seismic hazard analysis. However, the conventional methods for developing GMPEs, which rely on functional forms and assumptions like homoscedasticity, can ...
