    Das, Vivek mR. (2011)
    Pedestrians are important part of urban transportation system. They form single road user group, as all road users are pedestrians at some time or other. Pedestrian movement in urban environment are of two types; one ...
  • EFFECTS OF GEOMETRICAL SHAPES ON WIND LOADS ON BUILDINGS 
    Bhatnagar, Nirmal Kumar (2011)
    Due to population explosion, the demand for more built up space is ever increasing both for working and living purpose, and hence scarcity of land is being felt. This has led to spiraling land prices resulting in construction ...
  • STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE MODELING OF LOW VOLUME ROADS 
    Gupta, Ankit (2012)
    Low volume rural roads form a major part of the Indian road network, comprising 80% of the total road length. These roads are usually constructed as granular pavements with or without thin bituminous surfacing layer and ...
  • POST TREATMENT OF UASB EFFLUENT: AERATION AND VARIANT OF ASP 
    Khan, Abid Ali (2011)
    The upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors are widely used for the sewage treatment in warm climate countries like Brazil, Colombia and India since early 1980's (van Haandel et al., 1994; Gomec, 2010). However, ...
  • STUDY ON TURBULENT FLOWS IN OPEN CHANNELS 
    Prasad, Kesheo (2011)
    In this study, a series of experiments including rough beds and smooth bed have been performed with the objectives of estimation of appropriate methodologies to estimate bed shear stress based on mean velocity as well as ...
  • DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF RIGID PAVEMENTS CONSIDERING VEHICLE-PAVEMENT INTERACTION 
    Patil, Vikram Annasaheb (2011)
    The study of the dynamic response of rigid pavements to moving vehicle/aircraft loads has received significant attention in the recent years because of its relevance to the design of highways and airport runways. The ...
  • STUDY ON STATISTICAL DOWNSCALING FOR CLIMATE- PROJECTIONS 
    Goyal, Manish Kumar (2011)
    General Circulation Models (GCMs) are the most powerful tools available to simulate evolving and future changes in the climate system. GCMs are numerical models that represent the large-scale physical processes of the ...
  • EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FLOW OVER TRENCH WEIR WITH FLAT BARS 
    Kumar, Sanjeev (2011)
    Boulder streams carry a large amount of sediments which usually ranges from sands and gravels to boulders and even large rocks, and it can include trees and other debris. The sediment load during floods is boosted by the ...
  • DEVELOPMENT OF A GEO.I AZARD WARNING COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    Bhattacharya, Devanjan (2011)
    Communication of an impending hazard to people in near real time is critical. A system capable of disseminating adequate and timely warning to the public is of great societal value. Existing early warning systems are based ...
  • A STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF ROUGHNESS ON PAN EVAPORATION 
    Kumar, Manoj (2012)
    The present work is based on the extensive investigation of evaporation from circular and rectangular evaporation pans for smooth as well as rough flow condition for different relative roughness heights introduced in the ...
  • WEB GIS BASED ADVANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM USING MAPSERVER AND ANT ALGORITHM 
    Suman, Sanjeev (2011)
    Road transport is vital to economic development, trade and social integration, which rely on the conveyance of both people and goods. Global competition has made the existence of efficient transport and logistics systems ...
  • REMOTE SENSING BASED FOREST COVER MAPPING USING RECENT TECHNIQUES 
    Chandra, Sunil (2011)
    Forests are one of the important natural resources found on earth. They are an important component of our ecosystem providing valuable ecosystem services. They produce major forest products such as timber and firewood and ...
  • FRACTAL ANALYSIS TO REDUCE THE DIMENSIONALITY OF HYPERSPECTRAL DATA 
    Mukherjee, Kriti (2011)
    Spectral imaging of the earth using hyperspectral sensors designed on the principle of charged coupled devices is a recent advancement of remote sensing. These sensors are superior in the sense that they are capable to ...
  • STUDY OF INTERCONNEC TED BRIDGE GIRDERS 
    Surana, Chandra Singh (1962)
    This thesis presents a study of load distribution of concentrated loads to the various longitudinal girders of inter-connected girder bridge. The method of analysis of Hendry-Jaeger, which has been adopted here as the'basis ...
  • EFFECT OF SEDIMENT NON-UNIFORMITY ON PERMEABILITY 
    Jamil, Mohd (1969)
    This thesis deals with the theoretical analysis and merimental verification of variation of permeability with gradation of sediments in such a range that the YAM Law is applicable. Attempts have been made o derive an, ...
  • EFFECT OF VIBRATIONS ON SKIN FRICTION IN PILES 
    Sinha, A. P. (1969)
    The behaviour of friction piles subjected to vertical vibration has been studied in this investigation. Pulling resistance of friction piles depends upon a number of factors. The effect of frequency and acceleration of ...
  • VIBRATION OF CYLINDRICAL - SHELLS PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER 
    Goyal, Atul Chandra (1968)
    This analytical and experimental investigation is carried out to study the dynamic behaviour of cylindrical shells without water and with water filled inside them. The shell model is tested to see its behaviour under shock ...
  • "IMPACT DAMPER FOR SINGLE DEGREE OF FREEDOM SYSTEM" 
    Gupta, L. R. (1968)
    Impact dampers have been extensively used to reduce amplitude of vibrations of systems subjected to steady state excitations. Presently, a study is made of the general behaviour of a single particle impact damper when the ...
  • BEHAVIOUR OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE PAVEMENT UNDER STATIC LOADS 
    Bindra, Satya Pal (1968)
    The application of prestressing technique for highway and airport pavements is a relatively recent development. The inherent advantages of prestressed concrete pavement are the higher load carrying capacity and the fewer ...
