The long-term goal of this project is to develop techniques to collect and use remotely sensed acoustic data to make robust predictions of seafloor physical, acoustic and geotechnical properties in denied areas at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for tactical applications. The work described is a collaboration of research groups at the University of New Hampshire (CCOM) and the Universit...

ABSTRACT – Singapore is a city state island located off the southern tip of Malaysia Peninsula. Although Singapore is located in a low seismicity area with mild winds, it is a classic example of low seismic hazard and high exposure scenario. It is about 400 km away from a highly active earthquake belt comprising the Sumatra fault and the subduction zone. The response of a building to long-dista...

Nowadays, disposal of waste materials has become a matter of serious concern due to environmental and ecological issues. In this paper, an attempt is made to determine an optimum proportion mix suitable for geotechnical applications by blending the locally available clayey soil with sand, fly ash, tile waste and jute fibers. This optimum mix provides a cheaper construction material and helps in...
