Behavior of SFRC composite pile resting on sloping ground of cohesive and non-cohesive strata
Abstract: Reinforced concrete piles are increasingly being utilized in situations where there is a need to transfer loads in deep strata, particularly for infrastructure projects built on sloping grounds. The present study comprises a finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the lateral load-bearing capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) pile, embedded in sloping grounds with sandy and clayey soils. The lateral load capacity of the steel fiber reinforced concrete pile …

Erthquake Response of Shear Wall Integrated Step-Back Set-Back Structures on Sloped Ground
Abstract: The study examines how well step-back set-back structures perform seismically when they are resting on a 27° slope in terms of base shear, maximum story displacement, story drift, and time period. Shear walls 200 mm thick are positioned at various points. The seismic performance of the square plan structure having shear wall at corner locations is presented in this study. The study's findings indicate that the shear wall's position affects …

Analysis of Elevated Liquid Storage Tank on Sloping Ground with Variable Heights
Abstract: Past earthquake events have shown that even well-designed elevated water tanks can suffer severe damage or collapse. Much of this damage occurs due to a limited understanding of the behavior and appropriate selection of supporting systems during the design process. With a large mass concentrated at the top of slender supports, these tanks are especially vulnerable to horizontal seismic forces. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the strength and performance …

Design and Implementation of an IoT-Enabled Autonomous Hexapod Robot for Enhanced Navigation and Remote Operations
Abstract: This system develops an autonomous hexapod robot using an ESP32 microcontroller and IoT technology. This robot can move on its own, avoiding obstacles without human help. It's equipped with various sensors like distance and ground slope sensors. These sensors provide data to the microcontroller, helping it control the robot's movements and steer clear of obstacles. The robot runs on a battery, ensuring it can operate for extended periods without human …

Identification of Groundwater Potential Zone of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Tehsil Using Remote Sensing and GIS Technique
Abstract: Groundwater is one of the most vital and renewable natural resources, playing a key role in sustaining domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities, particularly in semi-arid regions like Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar tehsil in Maharashtra. The growing population, rising water demand, and irregular rainfall patterns have resulted in a pressing need to locate potential groundwater zones for sustainable water management. This research employs Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques to …

Physiographic, Climatic, and Hydrogeological Determinants of Urban Flooding in Bhopal: A Spatial Assessment
Abstract: Bhopal, capital city of Madhya Pradesh, is uniquely shaped by hilly terrain, lake systems, and complex hydrogeological characteristics, which historically supported efficient natural drainage. However, rapid urbanization, encroachment, and alterations in land use have increasingly disrupted these natural systems, amplifying the city’s susceptibility to urban flooding. The city’s physiography, defined by five major hills, undulating slopes, and a network of natural drainage channels, directs runoff toward low-lying zones that frequently …

The Role of Sediments in the Survival of Benthic Organisms
Abstract: Sediments are soil-based mineral matter, decomposing organic and inorganic substances that can be carried away by water, wind, or ice. The benthic organisms reside on or in the bottom part of the sediment of a water body. This review assesses the positive and negative impacts of sediments on the aquatic environment, benthic flora and fauna survival, and factors affecting sediment load of water, some listed physicochemical parameters of sediments, and …
