Analysis of Geological Structure for the Application of Geotechnical Engineering to Optimize Thermal Extraction in Geothermal Wells
Abstract: The characterization of the geological terrain for geothermal applications from the heat transfer point of view has been made. Horizontal, vertical and inclined geological layers have been analyzed. Uniform and homogeneous terrain are better candidates for low or high enthalpy geothermal applications while heterogeneous soil have a poorer performance from the thermal transfer point of view. The characterization process of soil structure and properties allows to take the appropriate decision …

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF BI ANGLE SHAPED SQUARE FOOTING UNDER TWO WAY ECCENTRIC LOADING
Abstract: Footing subjected to eccentric loading along two mutually perpendicular axes is quite a common field problem. Due to this bearing capacity is reduced considerably as the effective size is drastically reduced. A footing may be subjected to two-way eccentricity due to many reasons. In the case of footing subjected to one-way eccentricity the common practice is to match the centre of gravity of column loads to centre of gravity of …

Literature Review on Seismic Analysis of Building Resting on Sloping Ground
Abstract: Over the past 20 years,1.35 million people have been killed by natural hazards, more than half died in earthquakes and the remaining due to weather and climate-related hazards. The poorest nations paid the highest price in terms of the numbers killed per disaster and per 1,300,000 populations. So new advance, ideal and economical techniques should be used for designing and constructing the structures. The study helps us to understand the …

Nonlinear Pushover Analysis of RC Frame Considering SSI Effect: A Review
Abstract: It is the need of modern era to go for the safe, reliable and economic structure design with special reference to seismic response of the structure. The classical methods which are based on elastic analysis are not able to predict the structural behaviour under the seismic forces. On the other hand the Pushover Analysis (POA) gives more reliable results. The POA is a static –nonlinear analysis. In this method the …
