SEISMIC PERFORMANCE OF A CONTINUOUS BRIDGE: ROLE OF BEARINGS AND SUBSTRUCTURE

Ghosh, Goutam (2007)

Bridges play a crucial role in the lifeline system of a country. Failure ofbridges can severely hamper the post-earthquake relief and rescue work. Further, these are costly assets and their failure can have severe impact ...

PERFORMANCE-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF HOSPITALS

Choudhury, Satyabrata (2007)

Hospital buildings have immense post-earthquake importance. The functionality of the hospitals following a major earthquake is critical for the well being of the community. For post-earthquake operability of a hospital, ...

PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF LOW TO MEDIUM RISE RC FRAMED BUILDINGS FOR INDIA

Pore, Sachin Madhavrao (2007)

Seismic Hazard in India is due to the earthquakes originating from movement of plates in Himalayan region. Since, forces due to the resultant collision have not been fully neutralized, Himalayan mountain range is still ...

LOW COST DISTRIBUTED BASE ISOLATION FOR BRICK MASONRY BUILDINGS

Nanda, Radhikesh Prasad (2007)

Earthquake protection of buildings via base isolation has received considerable attention in recent times. A feasible economic isolation solution for low cost masonry buildings lies with base isolation by using pure ...

DAMAGE DETECTION OF STRUCTURES USING MODAL PARAMETERS AND NEURAL NETWORK

Vinayak, Hemant Kumar (2008)

In this thesis, the changes in the modal parameters due to the changes in the characteristics of the structure are studied which can be used for structural damage identification and also new directions in the area of ...

SEISMIC RESPONSE OF AN INSTRUMENTED BUILDING INCLUDING SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION

Singh, Jitendra Pratap (2008)

In this work seismic response of the instrumented multi-storied reinforced concrete building (G +9) has been studied using strong motion records of Bhuj earthquake, 2001. The analysis includes determination of modal ...

SEISMIC MICROZONATION OF MEGA CITIES

Naqash, Javed Ahmed (2008)

The rapid growth of the world's population over the past few decades has led to a concentration of people, buildings and infrastructure in urban areas. The tendency of such development in sedimentary valleys has increased ...

NONLINEAR DYNAMIC SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ANALYSIS USING HYBRID METHODS

Emani, Pavan Kumar (2008)

In the present research work, a new hybrid method for nonlinear dynamic analysis of soilstructure systems is developed, validated and demonstrated. By combining the frequency domain and time domain methods for 3D problems, ...

LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION IN GARHWAL HIMALAYA USING REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES

Pareek, Naveen (2008)

Himalayas, one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world are tectonically and seismically very active. The crustal movements along the longitudinal thrusts and transverse faults give rise to earthquakes and in turn ...

FINITE DIFFERENCE SIMULATION OF BASIN EDGE INDUCED AND TRANSDUCED SURFACE WAVES

Kumar, Sanjay (2008)

Quantification and understanding of local site effects on ground motion characteristics is very important for seismic microzonation and cost effective earthquake engineering. Study of local site effects needs an efficient ...

EFFECT OF FOUNDATION AND DAM DISCONTINUITIES ON THE RESPONSE OF CONCRETE GRAVITY DAM

Pal, Shilpa (2008)

Studies conducted on gravity dams have indicated that foundation structure interaction effects play an important part in the behavior of dams; however, this aspect had been ignored in the past designs but appropriately ...

THREE DIMENSIONAL SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF SOIL-PILE INTERACTION WITH LIQUEFACTION

Sarkar, Rajib (2009)

The behaviour of pile-supported structures under strong ground motion is reasonably a complex problem. Catastrophic damages ofsome recent earthquakes such as North Ridge (1994), Kobe (1995), Kocaeli (1999), Chi-chi (1999) ...

STUDIES ON DYNAMIC ELASTIC CONSTANTS FOR REINFORCED SAND AND POND ASH

Samal, Manoranjan (2009)

Understanding the dynamic behavior of the foundation-soil system is imperative for analyzing machine foundations and substructures subjected to earthquakes or induced dynamic loadings. Amplitude, frequency, damping and ...

SEISMOTECTONIC MODELING OF NW HIMALAYA: A PERSPECTIVE ON FUTURE SEISMIC HAZARD

Yadav, Rambichar Singh (2009)

The NW Himalaya and adjoining region of the part of Alpide-Himalayan belt is one of the most complex and peculiar tectonic regions in the world, which has experienced several large to great earthquakes in the past. The ...

SEISMIC VULNERABILITY AND RISK ASSESSMENT OF INDIAN URBAN HOUSING

Prasad, J. Siva Ranga (2009)

A seismic risk assessment methodology, based on socio-economic clustering of urban housing stock, is presented in this Thesis. The methodology is particularly useful for Indian cities, where comprehensive building stock ...

SEISMIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF A CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE

M, Sunil (2009)

Behavior of a cable-stayed bridge under moving loads, seismic and wind forces is greatly dependent upon its structural features. Major structural components of cable-stayed bridge are deck, tower (pylons), cables and ...

PERFORMANCE BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF COUPLED SHEAR WALLS

Bhunia, Dipendu (2009)

One of the recent earthquakes in India on 26th January, 2001 caused considerable damage to a large number of RCC high-rise buildings (number of storey varies from 4 to 15) and tremendous loss of life. The reasons were: ...

LIQUEFACTION STUDIES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Singh, Harendra Prasad (2009)

The liquefaction of saturated loose sand during earthquakes has been the cause of severe damages to various buildings, embankments and retaining structures. The catastrophic damages due to liquefaction during some of the ...

ESTIMATION OF UNCERTAINTIES IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC HAZARD ANALYSES

Joshi, Girish Chandra (2009)

An attempt has been made in the present study to estimate the ground motion and uncertainties which are involved at various steps in Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA). PSHA provides a framework in which ...

DISPLACEMENT BASED DESIGN OF R.C. INFILLED FRAME BUILDINGS

Maganlal, Tank Gopal (2009)

The unreinforced brick masonry panel is provided as infill in a large number of RC frame buildings in many parts of the world. There is no separation between the masonry infill panel and the RC frame. In many cases, the ...
