Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource and planners are forced to consider any source of water which might be used economically and effectively to promote further development. The total supply of freshwater on earth far exceeds... more
— High performance concrete (HPC) is an engineered concrete possessing the most desirable properties during fresh as well as hardened concrete stages. Permeability is one of the most important parameters to quantify the durability of... more
World is pound with million tonnes of industrial wastes such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), flyash and mine tailings as a various industrial waste. The best way to make use of these wastes is to incorporate these... more
Commercial and Public Buildings have been the targets by the terrorists in recent times to draw attention of the public, as it not only causes severe damage to the structures but also causes danger to human life as well. It may not be... more
Cost optimization of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames carried out in the present study. A three bay, three storey RC frame is optimised for minimum cost using global optimization toolbox in MATLAB software. The design variables taken for... more
In this research, optimum design of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) ribbed slab, also known as waffle slab according to the Indian RCC code (IS 456:2000) is presented. The objective function is the combined cost of the reinforcement,... more
Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to blast loads in the commercial domain has gained importance due the frequency in which such buildings and structures are being targeted by the terrorists which not only causes serious... more

The feasibility of using solar photo-oxidation to inactivate faecal bacterial contaminants in drinking water has been evaluated under field conditions in India and South Africa. Freshly drawn samples from all six test water sources were... more
Sustainability in irrigation is an essential step towards responsible water consumption. In recent years, many studies have sketched climate-resilient agricultural practices to fight drought and uncertain rainfall patterns. Major rain-fed... more
Crowd Management is always a challenging task when people gather in large numbers. Crowd disasters in India, including recurring incidents at religious venues, demands a crowd management system developed on the characteristics of the... more
