Adopting pile-raft foundations for large structures is advantageous over conventional pile foundations owing to their reduced differential settlements. The structural behaviour of this pile-raft foundation system depends ...

The frequent occurrence of floods during the rainy season is one of the threats in rainfed river basins, especially in river basins of India. This study implemented a Bayesian hierarchical model combination (BHMC) framework ...

Flow behavior of the binder paste renders a fair idea about the properties of high-performance concrete, especially, in the fresh state. Optimisation of the cement matrix phase or the paste phase in terms of fluidity is ...

The albedo of surfaces in urban areas plays an important role in regulating the urban microclimate and needs to be measured. Artificial urban surfaces, e.g., pavements with lower albedo than natural surfaces such as grass ...

A base-supported partially-filled fluid-shell system representing the pressure vessel of a fast reactor is studied. The shell is made of two cylindrical parts joined through a conical part. The shell is characterized using ...

High strength concrete (HSC) has found significant applications in offshore structures, long-span bridges, and tall buildings due to its outstanding strength and durability. There have been concerns regarding the use of ...

Current modeling approaches in hydrology often rely on either physics-based or data-science methods, including Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. While physics-based models tend to have rigid structures resulting in unrealistic ...

Developing an ensemble hydrological prediction system is essential for reservoir operations and flood early warning. However, efforts to build hydrological ensemble prediction systems considering the influence of reservoirs ...

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of North-East India is carried out considering the GMPE rule and framework developed in the companion paper to account for the propagation of epistemic uncertainty. Seismic hazard ...

Sustaining groundwater under the warming climate in India remains a challenge for the food and water security of over one billion people. However, the crucial role of the strengthening of the Indian summer monsoon and ...
