Prediction and Assessment of Lateral Displacement of Rock Mass Along the Length of the Horseshoe Cavern – A Numerical Modelling Approach
Abstract: The stability of the underground structures is a key to successful underground mining. Caverns are large underground openings constructed in rock mass for a variety of purposes. The properties of intact rock mass are generally overshadowed by the properties of discontinuities, if the discontinuities are present. Mechanisms of deformation and failure of underground openings in jointed rock mass are determined by the characteristics of the geometrical distribution of discontinuities. This …

Influence of Rock Properties on Sound Level
Abstract: Rocks used as building materials or for some other purposes are tested for their physico-mechanical properties to assess their suitability. For this, rock boulders excavated from the quarries are cut, shaped and crushed in the laboratory. While carrying out these processes, it generates sound. In this study, rock boulders received from the industries were cut in the form of cylindrical shape to determine its compressive strength, density and Young’s modulus.For …

Rural Building Base Isolation for Seismic Protection Using LRB and Friction Isolator
Abstract: Over 50% of the population of India, which is still developing, lives in unreinforced masonry buildings. Masonry constructions perform poorly and can collapse suddenly because they are susceptible to seismic loads and loads acting out of plane. Building collapse not only destroys public property but also claims life. It has been demonstrated that base isolation approaches for these types of structures are advantageous; in the event of seismic forces, they …

Thermal Effects on Elastic and Rigidity Modulus of Flexible Pavement Wearing Course
Abstract: Laboratory investigation of flexible pavement was carried out using asphalt concrete samples to simulate the behaviour of actual field conditions of a flexible pavement. The study was carried out in order to ascertain the changes that will result in the elastic and rigidity (shear) modulus of flexible pavement when subjected to increasing temperature conditions (thermal effect). The study became pertinent because mechanistic design of flexible pavement requires as input the …

CSPC: A New Approach for Edge Detection of Gray-Scale Images
Abstract: We can define an edge of an image as a set of connected pixels that creates boundaries of several objects in an image. Generally, Edge detection is a process of segmenting an image into regions of discontinuity. Edge detection takes a greater role in digital image processing as well as practical aspects of our life.Edges of an image can begenerated by implementingseveral edge detector mechanisms.In this paper, anew edge detectionmechanismthat …

Underwater Image Enhancement and Edge Detection
Abstract: A hybrid image enhancement and edge detection algorithm for underwater images is proposed in this paper. The proposed enhancement algorithm augments the image quality and suppresses noise in underwater images. The novel edge detection process is centered on the pixel phase information present in images, thereby leading to edge pixels that are illumination invariant. Since, illumination influences a major portion of information in underwater images, subjective analysis of the proposed …
