With the rising global population, economic development, and urbanization, building stock is bound to grow, warranting measures for optimizing their embodied and operational energy and resource consumption. Further, a ...

Thermal radiation blockage to the pool surface plays a major role in assessing the fire growth and heat feedback to the pool surface and thereby intensity of pollution to the environment. In this work, large eddy fire ...

The mix design of concrete is an important aspect that affects its strength and durability. This paper aims to revisit the existing mix design method given in IS 10262:2019 through a capacity-based approach. The approach ...

A novel framework is proposed in this paper for constructing a correlation model of spectral acceleration directly from the database (without using any GMPE). The proposed framework first numerically constructs the correlation ...

The distinct contribution of rotational ground motion to the failure of structures has been observed in the past. A direct recommendation on considering rotational hazards in seismic design is not presently available. In ...

In the current study, the impacts of climate change on precipitation to the Amaravati city of Andhra Pradesh, India, are assessed. Trends and variability of precipitation changes for the historical period 1951–2014 and ...

Quantile mapping based bias correction and spatial disaggregation (BCSD) have emerged as the de facto standard for rectifying bias and scale-mismatch in global climate models (GCMs) leading to novel climate science insights ...

Accurate measurement of bedload is challenging, considering its spatial and temporal variability. Various indirect acoustic techniques are often used for estimating the bedload rate and total bedload mass. Estimating the ...

An important step in seismic hazard analysis is investigating the completeness of available data. Out of the various methods proposed by several researchers, Stepp’s method is one of the most commonly used methods for ...

Household air pollution, primarily from solid fuels, globally caused 3.2 million premature deaths in 2020. India houses more than a quarter of global solid fuel users, and transitioning them to cleaner fuels offers an ...
