Chapter
Cracks are widely present in natural and engineered soils. Their presence has the potential to significantly alter both hydraulic and mechanical properties of soil, thereby causing the performance to weaken with respect to different engineering disciplines, particularly geotechnical, environmental and geological engineering. This makes the quantifi...
Conference Paper
Landslides are a common occurrence in hill slopes in the seismically active north eastern part of India. The soil slopes are highly vulnerable to failure due to heavy earth cuttings, rainfall and blasting activities during road construction. When landslides occur in transportation corridors running along hill slopes, there is the risk of huge loss...

Article
The quantification of soil surface cracks is important, as it is useful in analyzing water infiltration and overall water balance in any green infrastructure, such as slopes, agricultural fields, green roofs, etc. In previously reported studies, the approaches for quantifying cracks mainly used manual processing of images through the public domain...

The analyses of load carrying capacity of shallow footings, located on semi-infinite horizontal surface, have been dealt at large by various researchers. With the growth in urbanization in the hilly regions, the recent years have recorded a boom in the infrastructure development on the hill-slopes. The presence of the slope face largely affects the...
Patent
This invention discloses a methodology to utilize an invasive weed species Eichornia crassipes or water hyacinth (WH) as a biochar (BC) in improving soil water retention (SWR) property and crack potential. Experiments indicate that soil-WH BC composites at all percentages retain more water than bare soil at both saturated and drought conditions. In...
Patent
This invention discloses a methodology of using a Python code for quantification of cracks in unsaturated soils. Analysis of digital photographs is done using the Python script to find the value of crack parameter- cracking intensity factor (CIF). CIF, as described in many reported studies is defined as the ratio of area of cracks to the total soil...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Rock slope stability along highways is an important concern because the failure of cut slopes along hills puts human life and economy in grave danger. In such scenarios the need for proper investigative measures on the failure mechanism becomes important to plan appropriate mitigation measures. The present study assesses the vulnerability of a basa...

Questions (4)
Question
The Horizontal to Vertical Spectral Ratio technique (HVSR) and the Nakamura technique (or the HVNR technique) are both tools to measure ground motion amplification. What is the difference between the inputs of the two?
Question
The command area says "Lines overlap". Under such conditions, what are the ways in which I can proceed with meshing?
In case there is overlapping, how do I understand which lines overlap and how can I stop them from overlapping so that the calculations can be performed.
Question
What are the assumptions involved in idealising the earthquake forces as static forces and what are the shortcomings of this method?
Question
SLOPE/W is a limit-equilibrium based software used to find FOS of a slope against instability. I am not sure what FLAC is used for and what is the difference between the two?
