Projects
- M. Tech. Thesis Project: Comparative Study on Methods to Estimate the Load Carrying Capacity of Bored Cast-in-Situ Piles
A comparative study of axial pile load capacity on cohesive and cohesionless soils has been carried out using IS code recommendations, empirical formulas, and the interpretation of field loading tests. A modified formula for closer prediction of axial load carrying capacity is delivered.
- M. Tech. Research Project: Study on biomedical waste disposal at Health Center, NITC
Evaluated biomedical waste management at the NITC health center to identify the drawbacks of existing methodologies and propose improvements in management strategy.
- B. Tech. Main Project: Quarry waste column with geosynthetic reinforcement in compressible clay
Studied the behavior and load settlement response of quarry waste columns of varying consistencies reinforced with geotextile and geogrid encasement.
- B.Tech. Mini Project: Soil stabilization using coconut coir fibers
Studied the performance evaluation of coconut coir fibers on the shear strength characteristics of expansive soils by carrying out an unconfined compression test on soil samples.
