Integrated Water Balance and Water Stress Index–Based Sustainability Assessment of a Semi-Arid Island Ecosystem
Abstract: Freshwater scarcity is an increasingly critical challenge in semi-arid island environments due to limited natural water availability, high dependence on seasonal rainfall, growing population pressure, and expanding agricultural activities. Island ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to water stress because they often lack perennial surface water sources and rely heavily on groundwater recharge during short and highly variable monsoon periods. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of water demand, post-monsoon water availability, …

Effect of TMT Bar Lugging on Steel Reinforcement Failure Mode under Monotonic Loading
Abstract: Thermo-mechanically treated (TMT) ribbed bars modify the overall progress of failure in reinforced concrete. The ribs maintain anchorage after friction on the rest of the bar is eliminated during deformation, taking up the ultimate compressive load. This however, is inadvertently jeopardized by the stress concentration effect of the rib geometry. This paper analyses the extent to which some of the geometric forms of bar lugging affect the prevalence of ductile …
