The growing consciousness about the health risks associated with environmental pollutants has brought a major shift in global concern towards prevention of hazardous/trace metals discharge in water bodies. Majority of these ...

The numerical solution for the seismic bearing capacity of embedded strip footing in a sloping ground composed of rock mass is presented. The ground is modeled using the non-linear Hoek–Brown criterion and the upper bound ...

The seismic response of a highly heterogeneous hydraulic fill dam was evaluated by studying the natural frequencies of the first and second modes of vibration and analyzing the crest accelerations of different two-dimensional ...

The masonry bridges on the Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway line, which have multiple arch galleries in the form of Roman aqueducts, are spectacular. The Kalka Shimla Mountain Railway line is situated in severe seismic zones ...

In this article, nonlinear vibration and dynamic stability analyses of simply supported laminated composite circular cylindrical shells subjected to periodic edge loading are carried out. A third-order shear deformation ...

The non-linear dynamic response of a randomly distributed carbon nanotube fiber-reinforced laminated composite (CNTFRLC) plate subjected to various in-plane pulse localized loadings and transverse patch loading is presented ...

The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in augmenting the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced laminated composites is a fact. In this paper, the semianalytical studies on the dynamic instability behavior and linear and ...

To quantify the global damageability of a structure, the weighted‐average function defined in terms of damage condition and the importance or weightages of structural elements has generally been used in literature. Judgment ...

Concrete-filled double skinned steel tubular (CFDST) columns have been used to construct modern structures such as tall buildings and bridges as well as infrastructures as they provide better, lesser weight, and greater ...

Shear resistance models and span-depth (l/d) provisions, existing in major standards for natural aggregate concrete (NAC) beams, may not be directly applied to recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) beams on account of higher ...
