  • SOME ASPECTS OF SURFACE WAVE PROPAGATION IN ELASTIC AND ANELASTIC MEDIA 
    Bhatia, Krishna Gopal (1968)
    It is well known that dissipation accompanies vibrations in solids due to the presence of internal friction. In general, the .effect of internal friction is to produce attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves.. Wave ...
  • A MODEL STUDY ON COHESIONLESS SLOPE DURING VIBRATION

    This investigation covers a detailed experimental study of the behaviour of sand embankments having various slopes subjected to dynamic loadings. The deformation in cohesionless embankments starts at a particular value ...
  • SLIDING AND OVERTURNING OF OBJECTS DURING EARTHQUAKES 
    Mittal, K. C. (1971)
    The objective of thL a thesis is to evaluate the ground motion' characteristics such. es peak ground acceleration and predominant frequency during an earthquake by simple measu'► cements of objects which slid or overturned ...
  • GENERATION OF EARTHQUAKE FOR DIFFERENT GROUND CHARACTERISTICS 
    Paul, D. K. (1971)
    This investigation primarily deals with the effect of soil characteristics on the ground motion. A large number of earthquake accelerograms with varying. soil characteristics have been generated on digital computer and ...
  • EARTHQUAKE PARAMETERS AND STRUCTURAL RESPONSE 
    Sahadeo (1971)
    The purpose of this thesis is to study the elastic and inelastic response of single degree of freedom systems for Koyna accelerograms as recorded as well as for modified. For elastic analysis the accelerogram Is derived ...
  • VIRTUAL MASS EFFECT ON SUBMERGED EARTH AND ROCK-FILL SLOPES UNDER VIBRATIONS 
    Gupta, B. S. (1971)
    Normally the hydrodynamic pressure on structures in water are evaluated by applying Nestergaard'a theory or Zanger's theory. These theories consider the stsucturo to be rigid. Same theories are adopted while computing ...
  • STRESS ANALYSIS OF-CONCRETE GRAVITY DAMS 
    Dixit, M. K. (1971)
    Several methods are available for stress analysis of concrete gravity dams. In this dissertation a comparative study of a few of these methods$ namely, (a) Davis method Si) and (b) USBR method (2) , has been made. The ...
  • INELASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED BRICK AND REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS UNDER THE ACTION OF LATERAL LOADS 
    Verma, Rajesh (1971)
    Analytical and experimental study of the behaviour of reinforced brick and reinforced concrete members subjected to lateral loads is presented. Theoretical load-deflectic.n curves for such members with certain assumed ...
  • EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE OF CONCRETE GRAVITY DAMS WITH LIGHT STRUCTURAL SYSTEM AT THE TOP 
    Prajapati, G. I. (1972)
    The more critical tensile stresses occur in the upper parts of the dams due to earthquakes. The extra concrete near the crest of the dam to support roadway etc., is found to be responsible for this. An attempt has been ...
  • BEHAVIOUR OF ARCH DAMS UNDER STATIC AND DYNAMIC LOADS 
    Gupta, R. K. (1972)
    The behaviour of cylindrical arch dams, has been studied under static and dynamic type of loads. Different geometrical parameters have been varied. In addit4 on, an actual profile of a dam i n a non-symmetrical valley has ...
  • DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF STRUCTURES ON PILES 
    Kumar, Piyush (1973)
    The analysis of the response of structures supported on flexible pile foundations, subjected to dynamic loads, involves the problem of interaction between soil, pile and superstructure systems. Vari ous authors have proposed ...
  • INELASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE FRAMES DURING EARTHQUAKE 
    Prakash, Ravindra (1973)
    The inelastic behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to lateral loads is studied. The values of the strain ductility of the reinforcement and lateral deflection ductility of the portal frame are obtained. ...
  • VIBRATIONS OF PIPING NETWORKS 
    Mohan, Subhash Chandra (1973)
    A piping system provides flow path for liquids end gases and is essentially an irregular space Shame. The iwor tenon of piping system and hence its edecuats design is obvious from the feet that the failure of piping system ...
  • INFLUENCE OF RESERVOIR WATER LEVELS ON FUNDAMENTAL FREQUENCY OF GRAVITY DAMS 
    Gupta, Sunil (1973)
    In this thesis the Westergaard's concept of added mass as used by many investigators to find out the fundamental frequency of reservoir-dam systems has been studied. No literature at present is available to find out the ...
  • SHEAR WALL-FRAME INTERACTION UNDER DYNAMIC LOADS 
    Sarawat, D. B. S. (1973)
    The Frame-Shear wall Interaction is of utmost importance in Frame-Shear wall multistorey buildings when these are subjected to Earthquake ground motion. The load shared by frame as well as by shear wall is affected by their ...
