Adopting pile-raft foundations for large structures is advantageous over conventional pile foundations owing to their reduced differential settlements. The structural behaviour of this pile-raft foundation system depends ...

Developing an ensemble hydrological prediction system is essential for reservoir operations and flood early warning. However, efforts to build hydrological ensemble prediction systems considering the influence of reservoirs ...

Quantifying uncertainties in estimating future hydropower production directly or indirectly affects India's energy security, planning, and management. The chaotic and nonlinear nature of atmospheric processes results in ...

The frequent occurrence of floods during the rainy season is one of the threats in rainfed river basins, especially in river basins of India. This study implemented a Bayesian hierarchical model combination (BHMC) framework ...

Parametric indices are empirically related to two or more response parameters with a combination coefficient and do not conform to a physical definition of damage. The combination parameter is expected to be contingent on ...

Current modeling approaches in hydrology often rely on either physics-based or data-science methods, including Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. While physics-based models tend to have rigid structures resulting in unrealistic ...

During the summer monsoon (June-September) season, drought poses challenges for agricultural activities and water availability in India. We develop a framework considering the timing, areal coverage and severity that can ...

Exceptional drought events, known as megadroughts, have occurred on every continent outside Antarctica over the past ~2,000 years, causing major ecological and societal disturbances. In this Review, we discuss shared causes ...

This study proposes seismic design charts to predict the permanent displacements in cantilever retaining walls. These charts are developed considering the realistic v-shaped mechanism in the backfill. It captures the ...

Heating cooking oils at high temperatures emits aerosols in the fine and ultrafine size ranges as well as a variety of volatile organic compounds. Exposure to these emissions has been associated with various respiratory ...
