Exploring the Potential of GIS: Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis of Groundwater Quality and Quantity over Parts of YSR District, Andhra Pradesh, India
Abstract: Groundwater is one of the important sources on which life on terrestrial habitat survived since centuries. Though impervious to pollutants of the air or any surface phenomena, this precious water source is prone to be affected by its major stakeholders such as humans. Knowingly and by virtue of education and exposure to this fact, humans are changing for a better now and future. Nevertheless, how to know the status of …

Performance of Buildings at Different Soils using Pushover Analysis
Abstract: Earthquake has been considered as the most devastating calamity which may lead to loss of lives and properties as seen in 2001 earthquake at Bhuj, India. In India various buildings has been designed irrespective of the effect of dynamic load corresponding to different kinds of soil condition. So, in this study an attempt has been made to analyse different types of buildings viz. G+4, G+8 and G+12 under different soil …

Use of Geodetic Laser Scanner for Mapping Applications: A Review
Abstract: In the past few years,slope were generated using topographic details captured using Total Station before the existence of Geodetic Laser Scanner (GLS). Although this method can give very high accuracy of measurement for generating slope model; it is expensive, time consuming, does not cover large area and need a physical contact on hazardous area. With GLS, generating slope model can be carried out without direct contact with hazardous area. There …

Dynamic Behavior of Coal Ash
Abstract: Coal ash is deposited in large quantities in the ash pond. It is used as structural fill and for dyke construction. The behavior of ash under dynamic conditions is not well investigated. The present work attempts to quantify some of the parameters, which influences the dynamic stability especially liquefaction potential of coal ash. Several investigations conducted on coal ash suggest that ash fills have low SPT value. This supports the …
