Development of Membrane-confined Stem Grouted Piles and their Behaviour under Uplift Loading

Under-reamed piles are extensively used in India and South Asia in situations where large uplift forces are encountered. Such situations include expansive soils (swelling generates uplift force) and structures like chimneys, marine structures, transmission towers, windmills, etc. However, major issue with the construction of these piles is the collapse of under-reaming zone, particularly in sand and soft fine grained soil in saturated condition. The collapse of soil may results in uncertainty in the final size of the bulb.

Drought preparedness in Kerala: A comprehensive assessment with respect to climate change

Droughts affect almost all the sectors of the society including water resources and agriculture. India is among the most vulnerable drought prone countries. These droughts risks are progressively going to increase with increased temperatures due to climate change. In the project an assessment would be made of climate change impacts of retrospective and future droughts in Kerala. A probabilistic assessment of drought risks due to climate change over Kerala based on multiple Global Circulation Model (GCM) simulations and emission scenarios will be conducted.
