  • ESTIMATION OF SEISMIC HAZARD PARAMETERS FOR UTTARAKHAND REGION 
    Soni, Komal (I I T ROORKEE, 2019-05)
    Seismic hazard is a natural phenomenon generated by an earthquake that causes rupture of faults, ground shaking or soil liquefaction. It incorporates the estimation ground shaking in quantitative form at a particular ...
  • ANALYSIS OF ECCENTRICALLY BRACED FRAMES WITH SHEAR LINKS 
    Mushtaq, Zeeshan (I I T ROORKEE, 2019-06)
    The application of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) as lateral load resisting system has become increasingly popular due to its high stiffness and excellent ductility. This thesis presents the seismic assessment of a ...
  • INTERFERENCE OF STRIP FOOTINGS RESTING ON LEVEL AND SLOPING GROUNDS 
    Jain, Girik (I I T ROORKEE, 2019-06)
    The structures are quite often constructed close to each other due to lack of space, which results in the close placement of the footings. The close placement of footings causes them to interfere with each other. The ...
  • STUDY OF INELASTIC RESPONSE OF OPEN-GROUND STOREY RCC BUILDINGS 
    Abbas, Zeeshan (I I T ROORKEE, 2019-06)
