The obvious consequences of newlinesuch unrestrained and uninhibited exploitation of the environmental resources have newlinereflected in a significant increase in the degradation of our immediate and surrounding newlineenvirons, as manifested in poverty, environmental pollution, proliferation of slumps and newlinesquatters, inadequate waste management and impure water supply, vehicular pollution, newlineincrease in traffic jams, road accidents etc. Though, human awareness has been newlineincreasing on the pivotal necessities of understanding and undertaking crucial changes in newlinethe perspective of environmental exploitation to suit our needs, a considerable effort still newlineremains to be endorsed to identify and establish holistic indices of environmental quality newlineand its immediate future remedial policy appropriate to regional preference and newlineacceptance. To this end, the present study involves a conscious effort to establish the newlinedesired indices of environmental quality through a robust analytical and perception newlinestudy endeavour thus help to establish a pro-active platform of decision making to newlineenvision a pragmatic and fruitful recourse to uphold the sanctity of our environment. newlineThis study has made an attempt to identify the major issues of the environmental quality newlinedemanding priority in the selected study areas, subsequent to which unique fuzzy newlinemultiple-attribute decision support platforms have been proposed for an integrated quality newlineassessment of the environmental attributes under study. The decision support system has newlinebeen developed by combining the principles of Multi-Attribute Decision Making newlineAnalysis and fuzzy set theory in order to reflect the spatial distribution characteristic of newlinethe environmental quality and to address the inherent uncertainty associateItem Experimental investigations for curling stress in self compacting concrete pavements(BITS Pilani, 2015) Gandage, Abhijeet SiddappaA highway pavement is a structure consisting of superimposed layers of processed materials newlineabove the natural soil sub-grade. In India, flexible pavements are preferred for road constructiondue to lower construction costs and speedy construction as compared to rigid pavements. newlineHowever, the maintenance costs of the rigid pavements are relatively lower as compared to the newlinemaintenance costs of flexible pavements. The rigid pavements are constructed by casting cement newlineconcrete slabs over dry lean concrete or granular sub-bases. The cement concrete pavements are newlinedesigned to withstand traffic loads and environmental loads during its service life. The newlineenvironmental factors that are considered in the concrete pavement analysis are temperature, newlinehumidity, precipitation and frost/heave. The stresses induced in the concrete pavements on newlineaccount of daily temperature variation are termed as curling stress. The curling stresses are as newlineimportant as axle loads in the concrete pavement analysis as they alone can trigger the failure of newlinethe cement concrete pavements. newlineThe rigid pavements are constructed with normally vibrated concrete. Self-compacting concrete newline(SCC) is preferred over normal concrete mainly due to improved mechanical properties and newlinespeed of construction. Due to environmental regulations and concerns, the use of natural river newlinesand in concrete manufacture is becoming impractical and obsolete. Nowadays crushed sand is newlinewidely used in concrete manufacturing process. Hence, the properties of SCC mix prepared with newlinenatural sand and crushed sand were tested in the present research. SCC is a concrete with high newlinebinder content, which poses a challenge from the point of view of sustainability. Thus, use of newlinepozzolanic materials like fly ash and its effect on the properties of SCC were also investigated. newlineIn the present study, 20% Class C fly ash dosage as a cement replacement material was obtainedthrough experimental trials. newlineThe thermal properties of concrete are influenced by the thermal properties of the matrix and newlineaggregate phase.Item Experimental study of designed passive elements for energy efficiency in buildings in composite climate(BITS Pilani, 2013) Charde, Meghana ShrikantItem Influence of opening on the structural response of R C shear walls(BITS, Pilani, 2015) Muthu Kumar, G.Item Interaction Curves for Design of Hollow Reinforced Concrete Columns(BITS Pilani, 1994-10-27) Kumar, RanjanItem Investigation Mapping and Treatment Techniques for Fluoride Nitrate and TDS in Groundwater of Shekhawati Region (Rajasthan India)(BITS, Pilani, 2017-08) Singh, Arun NihalItem A methodology for evolving spatial norms with reference to Anthropometrics and equipment's in health care buildings(BITS, Pilani, 1997-07) Chandrashekhar, R.Item Multi Criteria Decision Analysis and Modeling for Water Quality Management in a River Basin(BITS Pilani, 2018) Srinivas, RThe present-day problems of rapid and uncontrolled growth in population, inappropriate land development projects such as stock farming, irrigation, urbanization, industrialization, and unsustainable planning and utilization of natural resources are posing a rising threat to the ecosystem of major river basins across the globe. It is an astonishing fact to notice that the situation is worse even in countries like India, where rivers are treated as sacred goddess since time immemorial. River bodies are now receivers of mammoth quantities of hazardous contaminants discharged from industrial, agricultural and domestic sectors. On the other hand, excessive withdrawals and diversions of river water to satisfy the human greed through various multi-purpose projects, barrages, wasteful irrigation, industrial expansion, and inland navigation have vastly languished the natural environmental-flows and self-assimilative capacity of the river systems. The consequences of such negative impacts on the water body are indisputably perceivable in the contemporary society, which are reflected in the form of increasing water-borne diseases such as cholera, cancer, lungs and liver damage, brain hemorrhage etc., extinction of natural habitats and some beautiful species like Royal Bengal tiger and Ganges Dolphins , climatic changes, land infertility, over-dependence on technology even at the cost of disrupting natural environment, and poverty. newlineThere is no doubt that over the last three decades, experts, researchers and governmental bodies have been quite successful in creating an awareness amongst the humans about the acute necessity of understanding the dangers of consequences of such unkind, inconsiderate and hostile over-exploitation of rivers on present as well as future generations. However, a considerable effort remains to be endorsed to develop a single pointed focus on restoration of river bodies by channelizing the academic research, governmental policies and public participation into one single and efficient decision support.
