Shear walls have been conferred as a major lateral load resisting element in a building in any seismic prone zone. It is essential to determine behavior of shear wall in the preelastic and postelastic stage. Shear walls ...

Shear wall has been considered as a major lateral load-resisting element inmultistoried building located in wind- or earthquake-prone zone. The behavior ofshear wall under various loading conditions has been the subject ...

In the present study a two dimensional model is first developed to show the behaviour of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) within a rough fracture. To consider the rough fracture, the fracture is imposed with variable ...

Among the distinguished zones of geothermal potential in India, the Puga Valley is identified as one of the potential sites for tapping geothermal energy at industrial scale. The hydrogeological properties and the temperature ...

Evaluation of a potential geothermal reservoir depends on the conceptual model which governs fluid flow and heat transfer in the reservoir. Knowing the spatial variation of reservoir parameters is essential to develop a ...

This study aims to predict prospective significance levels of potential geothermal fields already identified by Geological Survey of India (GSI) and National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) by field investigations. ...

Various extraction schemes are proposed in this study for the exploitation of the Puga geothermal reservoir by considering the field constraints and geological structural setting. Considering a 3D thermo-hydro coupled ...

An analytical study is conducted to define the dynamic instability of the carbon nanotubes-reinforced composite (CNTRC) plate under the action of different kinds of non-uniform loadings. The efficient mechanical properties ...
