  • STEEL TRUSS RAILWAY BRIDGE INTERACTION EFFECT WITH LWR TRACK 
    Arvindkumar, Vachhani Pratikkumar (I I T ROORKEE, 2013-06)
    In the present scenario most of railway lines go for long welded rail or continuous welded rail for higher level of comfort riding, safety and reduced track maintenances and also reduced total life cycle cost. LWRICWR ...
  • TOPOGRAPHY EFFECTS ON THE GROUND MOTION CHARACTERISTICS 
    Tiwari, Vishvendra (IIT ROORKEE, 2018-05)
    Surface topography consists of series of hills and valleys in the Himalayan region. These topographical features modify the seismic response of ground and play a crucial role in the design of life-line structures like dams, ...
  • LOCAL SITE EFFECTS ON EARTHQUAKE EARLY WARNING 
    Taneja, Aarti (IIT ROORKEE, 2018-05)
    Earthquake Early Warning System (EEW) is a standout amongst the most helpful instruments to effectively reduce seismic risk. EEW approaches have just been created around the world. The issues of improving the accuracy and ...
  • TIME DEPENDENT SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSIS 
    Agarwal, Akanksha (IIT ROORKEE, 2018-05)
    The use of deterministic seismic approach is not so prevalent nowadays .in recent years we consider the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. It takes into account the uncertainties regarding time, space and magnitude. ...
  • “RESERVOIR INDUCED SEISMICITY DUE TO TEHRI DAM” 
    Khan, Ali Ahmad (IIT ROORKEE, 2017-05)
    Reservoir Induced Seismicity (RIS) refers to earthquakes that are triggered or induced as a result of artificial filling of reservoirs. As of today over 100 cases of reservoir induced seismicity have been registered ...
  • TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL VARIATIONS OF b-VALUE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS 
    Sharma, Aman (IIT ROORKEE, 2018-05)
    Entire region of the Himalaya‟s arc is one of the most seismically active regions of the world. This is evident through the large number of earthquakes occurred in this belt.Earthquake data for the period from 1897-2015 ...
  • VIBRATION CHARACTERISTIC OF RC BEAM WITH AND WITHOUT VISCOELASTIC DAMPER 
    Asis, Bonthu S S V S (IIT ROORKEE, 2018-05)
