Bridges have been part of human civilization for many centuries now as they connect
two locations separated by a river or any difficult terrain. Therefore, bridges facilitate trade,
transportation and passage to locations ...
This work addresses the study on contact modelling in isogeometric analysis. Research papers including vehicle crashworthiness and occupant protection, on contact modelling in isogeometric analysis, contact searching ...
The dissertation is focused to identify the potential and existing safety threats associated with the inland waterways terminals. The research is inspired by increasing numbers of accidents at the inland waterways terminals, ...
The intermodal interfaces in case of any multimodal transit hub play important role in determining the efficiency of the multimodal hub as a whole. With increasing trend of Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) in India, the ...
In developing countries such as India , there are many limitations that do not satisfy the high volume of loads anymore (e.g., limited time schedule , lack of quantity of good quality material, budget and over loading ...
In spite of Delhi’s recent investments in Public Transport Systems which include a world class Metro System and a planned BRT Network, Delhi has been unable to deliver efficient, comfortable and affordable mobility options ...
In any roadway system, intersections are the major bottleneck point. In India, in the year 2016, there was a total number of 1,39,389 accidents occurred at intersections and the uncontrolled ones contributed to a major ...
Transportation functions are essential for the growth of any country and are capable of bringing advantages to society. In general, the connection between financial well-being and good transportation is widely recognized. ...
Jarosite is generated as a byproduct during the process of zinc extraction from its ore. It is highly
toxic in nature and a source of environmental pollution hence its safe disposal is a major
concern. The work presented ...
Isogeometric analysis (IGA) represents a recently developed technology in computational
mechanics that offers the possibility of integrating methods for analysis and
Computer Aided Design (CAD) into a single, unified ...
Many factors in service life which may be natural or manmade, are affecting existing concrete building structures. Corrosion of bars, spalling and deterioration of concrete and earthquake affect its performance of resisting ...
Concrete is considered to be a heterogeneous material consisting of different phases comprising of aggregate, matrix and weak interfacial transition zone. Concrete has pre-existing microcracks in it and has quasi-brittle ...
Proper control levels of lateral drifts anticipated for reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures within the predefined performance level becomes crucial when the frame structure is subjected to distant intense surface ...
The cable-stayed bridge is one of the relatively recent innovate bridge form. It consists of three principal components, namely, girders, tower (pylons) and cable stays. The girder is support elastically at points along ...
Blast loading on structures is an extreme event in which pressure pulse with
overpressure many times above atmospheric and very high specific impulse impinges
on surfaces of the structure. The effects of blast wave on ...
Steel concrete composite bridges are becoming very popular as they are efficient and economical and provide a section which is lower in weight as compared to concrete bridge girders of similar span length and subjected to ...
The fundamental difference between the two types of bridges is the manner in which the cables support the bridge deck. In suspension bridges, the deck is supported at relatively short intervals by vertical hanger cables ...
Uttarakhand and Himachal are recognized as being highly vulnerable to earthquakes. In the past the region has been jolted by great earthquakes. People living in earthquake affected areas are generally quick to understand ...
What is CFST? CFST is a composite system that stands for Concrete Filled Steel Tubes. Composite system are the structures in which the components comprise of at least two different material having the different physical ...
Concrete is till now the one of the most popular material for construction on earth. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is most widely used with other materials like water and aggregates to act as binder. Due to the increased ...
