Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) system is considered as one of the real-time earthquake damage mitigation measures, which detects, analyses and transmits information of the impending ground shaking prior to the arrival ...

Critical evaluatic.n of the ?xisting literature on dynamic and earthquake forces on pile foundations embedded in .soils, reveals the need for further studies on this subject This thesis presents the theoretical and ...

Strong Ground Motion (SGM) record at a particular site during an occurrence of earthquake is a result of complex – non linear combination of many factors. For design of engineering structures for a specified region the ...

It is well known fact that massive structures like dam attract lot of external interests other than engineering. It may not be always possible to build a dam on safe locations from engineering and geological point of ...

There is a continuous research on the behaviour of joints particularly to increase shear strength. The conventional way to enhance the joint’s shear strength is to provide increased dimension with closely spaced transverse/shear ...

This thesis aims to study the salient features of large-sized ferrocement tanks subjected to static and dynamic loads and to investigate their suitability and economy over r.c. tanks. These tanks featuring undulated wall ...

The current practice of considering tha dynamic behaviour of retaining walls is to take into account an increase in the lateral earth pressure as calculated from the modified Coulomb formula. This has serious limitations. In ...

The use of the Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) for the strengthening and rehabilitation of the reinforced concrete member is increasing in the past decades due to its anti-corrosion, high strength to weight ratio, ease ...

Critical response is the maximum value of the response which is obtained under certain loading conditions. In present methods of seismic analysis of structures, the earthquake motion is generally considered in horizontal ...

Civil engineering strucutures undergo progressive deterioration due to aging effects. In addition to this, hazards like earthquakes, floods, blasts, etc will increase the causes of damages. Hence Structural Health Monitoring ...
