Abstract: Understanding the damage and failure mechanisms of masonry structures can help engineers reduce catastrophic failures and facilitate effective restoration and preservation of historical masonry monuments. This can be ...

Abstract: A comparison of the mean winter and summer flow patterns at 8 km in the vicinity of India shows that a trough located to the east of India in winter has shifted westward by summer. A study of the onset of the summer monsoon ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop an automation platform that particularly emphases the beam reinforcements of a continuous beam of an RC building and automatically checks all designs to ensure that the arrangements ...

Abstract: Hydrologists have attempted to relate the hydrologic response of watersheds as runoff production from rainfall to watershed topographic structures for many years. The recently proposed geomorphologic instantaneous unit ...

Abstract: The design flood can be determined by transposing the design storm observed in the region surrounding the project and converting the storm to flow by use of a simple rainfall-runoff relation or a watershed runoff model. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the elastic buckling problem of circular Mindlin plates with a concentric internal ring support and elastically restrained edge. In solving this problem analytically, the circular plate is first ...

Abstract: Bed topography and transverse sediment sorting in an alluvial channel bend were investigated under unsteady-flow conditions with nonuniform sediment. Five experiments, each having the same initial sediment-size gradation ...

Abstract: Geomorphology-based instantaneous unit hydrographs have been proposed by several engineers as a tool to produce runoff hydrographs from rainfall for ungauged watersheds. A difficulty in applying the geomorphology-based ...
