Roads in a hilly region contribute to significant development of the area and may cause negative impacts on the fragile environment. Optimal road alignment in the hilly region is challenging and mandates geospatial analysis that involves topographic and environmental parameters like slope, soil stability, forest cutting and obstruction to drainage. In this study, a multi-objective approach is p

Fires at several shopping malls prove that the safety measures in the shopping center are not at standard level. This study aimed to assess the fire hazard vulnerability of shopping centers in Rangpur City Co

From the past earthquake patterns, the increase in the number of earthquakes in southern peninsular India can be observed. The increasing number of earthquakes is one of the critical reasons for shifting Chennai from zone II (least active) to zone III (moderately acti

The State highly depends on rainfall for its agricultural activities, but the occurrence of rainfall is unprecedent and variable, causing adverse implications on the cropping system as well as negative effects on natural water resources. Daily data f

However, most research on SFRC segments focuses on the load-bearing capacity, while the tunnel deformation is an equally critical indicator that decides if the tunnel can operate safely during service conditions. Therefore, it is essential to also study the stiffness variations in
