Floods result from the interplay of climatic drivers, catchment characteristics and river system dynamics. The observed shift to extreme climatic events necessitates a better quantification of their impact on flood generation. ...

India is a leading global hot spot for extreme heat waves induced by climate change. The social demography of India is centered on its caste hierarchy rooted in endogamous occupational groups. We investigate the association ...

The Anthropocene period is characterised by multiple stressors triggered by human-induced changes in the hydrological cycle and land surface transformations. The arrival of humans on this planet has significantly altered ...

Concrete is known for its inherent fire resistance in addition to several other desirable properties, making it a highly used construction material. Newer scenarios have given rise to enhanced use of high-strength concrete ...

Climate change, recognized as the long-term change in atmospheric conditions is one of the most evident feature of 21st century. Limited studies on Saurashtra's rainfall variability underscore the need to explore temporal ...

The study of dam break flow (DBF) is essential as it is associated with losses to lives and properties. In this study, 2-D DBF is numerically investigated using a mesh-free Lagrangian approach, i.e., the smoothed particle ...

The routine practice of seismic design and performance assessment employs three translational components of ground motion, but their spatial variability is rarely considered. A comprehensive framework that integrates the ...

The transverse relative settlement of reinforced fill and fascia induces reinforcement loads additional to service loads in Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls. The fascia-reinforcement connections need due attention ...

For seismic design or performance assessment, reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infills are often modeled using strut-cum-masonry constitutive models. A number of models have been considered in the past ...
