Abstract: There has been a lot of interest in the relationship between uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and other properties of rock. Evaluation of rock parameters such as cohesion, Young’s modulus, angle of friction, and Poisson’s ...

Abstract: Probabilistic seismic risk assessment (PSRA) of a structure is essential to identify the seismic vulnerability of structural members associated with the different stages of damage. Seismic fragility ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with the reevaluation of design stresses and assessment of safety margins available for an underground reinforced cement concrete (RCC) duct. For stress analysis, a ...

Abstract: In this paper simple empirical models are suggested to evaluate the reduction in bond strength as a function of reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC). These models are proposed by considering a wide range of ...
