This study investigates the dynamic response of RC lined rectangular tunnel in soil subjected to internal blast load. For this purpose, a three-dimensional non-linear finite element model comprising of tunnel lining, ...

In recent times, water storage is becoming a confronting task because of the depletion of water resources worldwide. Domestic rainwater harvesting and human-made structures for water procurement achieved significance because ...

Numerous fast-developing techniques such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographical Information System (GIS) are implemented in the construction industry to meet sustainability goals. BIM is a single platform ...

The current study proposes a sustainability index (SI) measure based on artificial neural networks (ANN) and globally accepted parameters. Some of the available methods for SI measurement are multi-criteria analysis, ...

Efficient management of the resources requires applying scenario development, which helps manage future needs and available resources with lesser difficulties. In this chapter, one of the most vital sources for life, water ...

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has proven to be an efficient method of curtailing water scarcity by substituting it as an alternative water supply which also helps to mitigate the risk of flooding caused due to heavy rainfall. ...

Water management is a prominent aspect because worldwide groundwater declination is faster than expected. Multiple studies have developed numerous innovative techniques for enhancing secured water storage. One among them ...

Dry and semi-arid regions of the world witness a decrease in freshwater supply due to urbanization and population growth. Effective water utilization and management is the nexus at the consumer end for overcoming water ...
