  1. RESEARCH

 

Ph.D. Project (Pursuing)

Soil-Wall interaction analysis in different types of retaining walls:

This project aims at studying seismic effects on the soil-structure interaction of retaining walls while taking Indian soil classification in consideration. Influence of soil-structure interaction has been an interesting debate with dual opinions of being on the detrimental or beneficial side and this project aims at generating valuable results in this field. Study of live loads is also carried out during the simulation using various finite element approaches such as DLOAD Subroutines in ABAQUS. The effect of seismic load on the soil structure interaction will also be monitored while designing a tunnel in the backfill thus generating complex interactions in the system. The inertial motion of the entire retaining wall will also be considered by not only simulating the stem but the whole retaining wall using finite element softwares such as PLAXIS, ABAQUS and ANSYS.   

 

 

M.Tech Project

Slope-Stability Analysis of different soils in static and dynamic conditions.

The primary objective of this project was to outline the issues causing the failure of finite slopes in various locations where the conditions of soil differed either by the material size or the presence of water table causing inconvenience. Determination and quantification of this failure was done by analysing the factor of safety for different soil conditions with varying height and alternate layers in the slope. Analysis was carried using finite element numerical approach wherein the software (FLAC) results were compared with the existing analytical methods for the validation of the project. The main aim lied in the mitigation of effects of higher water table and natural disasters such as earthquake. Non-linear analysis was carried out in case of rainfall on the slope surface where the variation in the results due to incorporation of geosynthetic reinforcement was also conducted.
