Effect of Varying Shear Velocity on the Mechanical Behavior of Jointed Rock Subjected To Lower Normal Load
Abstract: : This study investigates the effect of shearing velocity on the mechanical behavior of rock joints, namely, the shear strength, residual strength, joint dilation, its surface roughness and the shearing stiffness under the application of lower normal load. The slower rate of shearing plays an important role in creep and the fatigue effect on jointed rock masses whereas, higher rate of shearing is experienced in the cases of dynamic loadings …

Application of High-Speed Videography in Assessing the Performance of Blasts
Abstract: Abstract Blasting can be considered as the most crucial process in an opencast mine. It is therefore important for mining engineers to understand the effect of geological discontinuities and blast design parameters on the results of blasting. Bench height and burden are very important parameters affecting stiffness of bench. Joints alter the results of blasting, by making explosive energy utilization ineffective. Modern tools like high-speed videography reveal many aspects of …

Reducing Operational Energy Consumption in Traditional Buildings through Retrofitting
Abstract: Buildings consume a major chunk of total energy. Operational and Embodied energy are two components through which energy is consumed in a building. For a typical building its operational energy has to be controlled because it is consumed throughout the building’s life. In traditional buildings, energy saving measures were more passive but now days, increasing energy consumption in building requires active measures to be incorporated. Therefore, to prevent buildings from …
