The Indo-Burma (Myanmar) area includes features of active subduction zones such as a Wadati-Benioff zone of earthquakes, a magmatic arc, thrust and fold belts. The Sumatra earthquake of 2004 occurred on this plate. In this ...
The numerical simulation of strong ground motion (SGM) based on the physics of rupture
propagation is of prime importance in earthquake engineering for the prediction of site-specific
ground motion, cost effective ...
Earthquake are one of nature greatest hazard to life’s and property which could cause intense
shaking at the earth’s surface and have potential to cause huge socio-economic losses. Rapid growth
of population, urbanization ...
The energy dissipation potential of a metallic damper depends mostly on the hysteretic response attained due to the inelastic deformation of plates under axial or flexural or shear loading. Mainly considering the metallic ...
During a seismic event, the buildings situated on slopes are more vulnerable than those located on flat ground. The foundations placed on the slopes have reduced bearing capacity as compared to the flat surface. This reduced ...
In the present study, a deterministic seismic hazard assessment of Andaman and Nicobar region is carried out, which is one of the most seismically active regions of India. Which usually need estimate of return period, ...
Failure of soil subjected to dynamic loading is greater. Therefore, it is important to study the response of soil under dynamic loading. Thus the dynamic soil property is an important parameters to be studied. Dynamic soil ...
It has been established in past that the location of stress concentration in any structure is often
the point where failure occurs or it serves as site for start of propagation leading to failure.
This phenomenon when ...
The objective of this study is to calculate Hypocentre parameters and source parameters of local events recorded at the seismological laboratory of IIT ROORKEE by employing 12 stations network around Tehri dam region. ...
Tall buildings are subjected to high lateral loads due to wind and earthquake forces, which would lead to high costs and the design would be economically unfeasible using traditional structural systems. Hence, in order to ...
Landslides are transient and instantaneously happening and damaging natural hazard in mountains. However, landslides turn into a disaster mainly due to the immature geology connected with external triggering factors which ...
In recent years, analysis of massive structures (which can generate threat to society) such as hyperbolic cooling towers, chimneys, reactor containment shells, etc., subjected to seismic excitation, has attracted a ...
This end term evaluation report gives an overview of the blast phenomenon and subsequent
e ects on structures, behaviour of elastomer (viscoelastic materials) under cyclic
loading, and an idea about blast energy dissipation ...
This thesis tends to investigate the effect of near fault and far fault ground motions on concrete gravity dam. Forward directivity and long duration high energy velocity pulse, causes response of the dam under near fault ...
Ground motion attenuation relationship is the most significant and useful topic in engineering seismology. It provides the background for seismic resistant design, seismic zonation map and seismic hazard analysis. Based ...
Seismic hazard is a natural phenomenon generated by an earthquake that causes rupture of
faults, ground shaking or soil liquefaction. It incorporates the estimation ground shaking in
quantitative form at a particular ...
The application of eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) as lateral load resisting system has become increasingly popular due to its high stiffness and excellent ductility. This thesis presents the seismic assessment of a ...
The structures are quite often constructed close to each other due to lack of space, which
results in the close placement of the footings. The close placement of footings causes them to
interfere with each other. The ...
Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames with unreinforced masonry infills (URM) are the most commonly used construction practice in India and worldwide. The infills are generally treated as nonstructural elements and are not ...
Mega-braced frame is mainly preferred in designing of super-tall buildings, but to check the adequacy of mega-braced frame for low-rise, mid-rise, and high-rise buildings, seismic assessment of these buildings is necessary ...
