Designing a Geo-spatial framework for Rapid Damage Assessment: A Case Study
Abstract: With increasing number of natural hazards and disasters followed by economic losses, terms like disaster preparedness, response, relief and rehabilitation has become common to the decision makers as well as ordinary people. Since there is a great influence of occurrence of hazards and disaster upon a country’s economic growth, all government bodies are seek to find a way to reduce the adverse effect of a disaster. Rapid Damage Assessment (RDA) …

Nuclear Track Studies in India: A Historical Review
Abstract: Nuclear Tracks originate from the spontaneous fission of Uranium in minerals and can be revealed by etching with suitable chemical reagents as tracks. The applications of Nuclear Tracks were developed by R.L. Fleischer, P.B. Price and R.M. Walker in USA in various fields, viz., Geology, Biology, Archaeology, Nuclear Physics, Reactor Physics, Earthquake Studies and Space Physics. An historical review of Nuclear Track Studies in India is presented in this paper …

A Review Study of Offshore Structure
Abstract: Seaward development is the establishment of structures and offices in a marine situation, as a rule for the generation and transmission of power, oil, gas and different assets. Earthquake design of offshore platforms in seismic active areas is one of the most important parts in offshore platforms design. Dynamic response of piles in offshore platforms is a function of the Characteristics of the loading, dynamic pile-soil interaction behaviour and dynamic …

Analysis and Design of Berthing Structure for Handling Bulkcargo
Abstract: This paper presents basic ideas and terminology of structural optimization of a berthing structure which was analysed and designed using different load conditions and the best possible way to construct a new berthing structure. All the suitable and useful data was adopted from the proposed site location at Belekeri port in Karnataka state and studied carefully before designing the structure. The berth is to be designed for a vessel having …

Comparative Analysis of Different Types of Frame Structures in Vibration Analysis Using STAAD.Pro
Abstract: Bridges are structures built over rivers, valleys, railway line, roads, and its purpose is to provide crossing over obstacles. Bridges are constructed by masonry, concrete, pre-stressed materials, steel etc. Today, contemporary-day bridges generally tend to apply excessive power materials. Bridges are dynamic loadings may be uncover to the effect of vibration because of the dynamic results inclusive of wind, earthquake and automobile motion in addition to cyclic loading. In addition, …

Role of Satellite Sensors & GIS in Discrete Phases of Disaster Management
Abstract: Around the world, disasters are becoming a growing concern. Natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, severe storms and tropical cyclones, droughts, wild land fires, and man-made disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes have damaged the environment as well as destroyed economic and social infrastructure over the previous five decades. The Geographical Information System and Remote Sensing have been used as potential tools for disaster management and monitoring, particularly in the pre, during, …

Vulnerability Assessment for Identification of Vulnerable Reaches for Flood, Riverbank Erosion, and Landslide in Himachal Pradesh, India
Abstract: Himachal Pradesh state is very vulnerable to flash floods, landslides, and riverbank erosion. Efforts have been made to develop a tool that can predict these disasters before the event, so that the authorities can take the protection measures. A web-enable vulnerability assessment tool has been developed for identification of vulnerable reaches for flood, riverbank erosion, and landslide in Himachal Pradesh. Historical excessive rainfall events, flash floods events and its causes, …

BIS Index Numbers for the Turbulence in the Environment & Ecology: Prediction of the Future of the Earth, Galaxies and Universe due to Intense Biological Processes of Infinite C* Character
Abstract: AbstractBIS is the so called breakdown of integrated system. Due to this breakdown BIS effect gets created and causes turbulence in the environment and ecological system. This causes natural occurrences like earthquakes, sea storms, hurricanes, tsunami, bird flu and internal changes like changes in genomic pattern. The mathematics of slaughtering living creatures is extremely complex, unpredictable and incomprehensible. However, finding BIS index numbers can help us in estimating the future …

Understanding Geomagnetic Storms Through ACE/EPAM Data in the Recent Solar Cycle
Abstract: We share our research on the effects of geomagnetic storms on Earth's climate throughout the solar cycle. We use the Kp index value from ACE and several other observatories to comprehend the impact of the geomagnetic storm in this instance. A geomagnetic storm is indicated by a value of 5 or higher on the K-index, which uses an integer between 0 and 9 to quantify disturbances in the horizontal component …
