Slope Stability Analysis by Swedish Slip Circle Method Using C-Programming
Abstract: The side slopes of an earthen dam should be safe against shear failure. Out of the various methods of stabilityanalysis of slopes, “Swedish Slip Circle Method” is commonly used in practice. Here in the Swedish circlemethod, potential failure surface is assumed to be cylindrical in shape (i.e., circular in cross section). Afterdetermining the actuating and resisting forces for assumed failure surface, the factor of safety is calculated. Theslope is considered …

Analysis of Steel Chip Fiber Reinforced Composite Dual Pile Under Lateral Load Conditions on Sloping Terrain
Abstract: Pile foundations, in addition to supporting vertical loads from superstructures, are subjected to lateral stresses arising from seismic activities, wind gusts, water currents, and traffic impacts etc. Failure to account for these lateral forces can pose significant risks if the structure is expected to encounter any form of lateral pressure. Previous research has investigated the behavior of individual composite piles under horizontal forces, considering different soil properties, to determine the …

Trend Analysis of Long-Term Rainfall Data for Monsoon Season of Kharun Catchment
Abstract: This research paper investigates the trends in monsoon season rainfall over a 31-year period (1990–2021) using the non-parametric Mann–Kendall test. A range of statistical methods were utilized to analyze the rainfall data, providing valuable insights into its temporal patterns and trends. The correlation coefficient, measured by Kendall's Tau, exhibited a minimal positive correlation of 0.004 between years and their corresponding rainfall, quantities. This implies a slight tendency for increased rainfall …

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 …

Estimation of Soil Erosion Using GIS in Pune District, Maharashtra
Abstract: The Varandha Ghats pans approximately 14.62 km 2 , where changes in temperature, vegetation, topography, and soil characteristics are causing continuous soil erosion. Catchment heterogeneity and climatic variations cause spatial variability in hydrological processes. Differences in land use, soil type, topography, and rainfall patterns influence how water moves and accumulates across regions, resulting in diverse hydrological responses. This complexity challenges accurate modeling and effective water resource management strategies across variable …

RADAR IMAGING THEORIES AND PRINCIPLES OF OCEAN WAVES CAPILLARY WAVES AND TYPES OF RADAR
Abstract: Capillary waves caused by the wind were measured in a wave tank. The capillary waves' height, slope, and frequency composition were all measured. The wave heights (from trough to crest) were found to be between 0.06 and 8.8 mm for winds between 2.2 and 7.6 m/sec. Wind speed affects the distribution of frequencies (wavelengths), with more high frequency waves occurring at faster wind speeds. An S-shaped curve with the sharply …

A GEO-STATISTICAL MODEL FOR DOWNSCALING SOLAR IRRADIATION DATA: A CASE OF ODISHA
Abstract: Most of the environ-climatic issues are caused by the over-burning of fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum. Our over-dependency on non-renewable resources has led us to over-exploitation of fossil Fuels. Sustainable development has become one of the causes of the growing demand for clean energy. With the current development of new technology, the efficiency of solar panels has increased severalfold. So, identifying the energy resources properly is the most …
