Applying the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) test in sloping ground conditions is of significant interest in the geotechnical investigation when estimating a subsurface shear wave velocity (Vs) profile. The ...

The resilience of internet service is crucial for ensuring consistent communication, situational awareness, facilitating emergency response in our digitally-dependent society. However, due to empirical data constraints, ...

This article presents methodological and signal processing cautions associated with utilizing the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) test for determining shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles on undulated ground ...

Purpose The time-varying equivalent linear temperature gradient (ELTG) significantly affects the development of faulting and must therefore be accounted for in pavement design. The same is true for faulting of bonded ...

The present design guidelines for rigid-faced (RF) geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS) walls recommend a minimum toe embedment depth as a geometric requirement. The toe condition effect is ignored in these designs. Development ...

Floods are among India's most frequently occurring natural disasters, which disrupt all aspects of socio-economic well-being. A large population is affected by floods, which leave their footprints through human mortality, ...

Extreme climatic events have considerable impacts on society, and their prediction is an essential tool for climate change adaptation. A reliable forecast of dry and wet extremes is crucial for developing an early warning ...

Streamflow flash droughts (SFDs), characterized by a rapid decline in streamflow over a relatively short period, affect water availability, hydropower generation, and the ecosystem. However, atmospheric and land processes ...

Pond ash has been used in many geotechnical applications, such as fill material in embankments, retaining walls and ash dyke raising. Pond ash is a mixture of unutilized fly ash and bottom ash transported to an ash disposal ...
