    Coastal vulnerability assessment of the future sea level rise in Udupi coastal zone of Karnataka state, west coast of India
    (2009) Dwarakish, G.S.; Vinay, S.A.; Natesan, U.; Asano, T.; Kakinuma, T.; Venkataramana, K.; Pai, B.J.; Babita, M.K.
    Udupi coast in Karnataka state, along the west coast of India, selected as a study area, is well known for sandy beaches, aquaculture ponds, lush greenery, temples and major and minor industries. It lies between 13°00?00?-13°45?00? north latitudes and 74°47?30?-74°30?00? east longitudes, the length of the coastline is 95 km, and is oriented along the NNW-SSE direction. It is vulnerable to accelerated sea level rise (SLR) due to its low topography and its high ecological and touristy value. The present study has been carried out with a view to calculate the coastal vulnerability index (CVI) to know the high and low vulnerable areas and area of inundation due to future SLR, and land loss due to coastal erosion. Both conventional and remotely sensed data were used and analysed through the modelling technique and by using ERDAS Imagine and geographical information system software. The rate of erosion was 0.6018 km2/yr during 2000-2006 and around 46 km of the total 95 km stretch is under critical erosion. Out of the 95 km stretch coastline, 59% is at very high risk, 7% high, 4% moderate and 30% in the low vulnerable category, due to SLR. Results of the inundation analysis indicate that 42.19 km2 and 372.08 km2 of the land area will be submerged by flooding at 1 m and 10 m inundation levels. The most severely affected sectors are expected to be the residential and recreational areas, agricultural land, and the natural ecosystem. As this coast is planned for future coastal developmental activities, measures such as building regulation, urban growth planning, development of an integrated coastal zone management, strict enforcement of the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Act 1991, monitoring of impacts and further research in this regard are recommended for the study area. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

    Seismic behavior of rc framed shear wall buildings as per is 1893 and IBC provisions
    (Techno-Press, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Chinmayi, H.K.
    Usually the analyses of structures are carried out by assuming the base of structures to be fixed. However, the soil beneath foundation alters the earthquake loading and varies the response of structure. Hence, it is not realistic to analyze structures by considering it to be fixed. The importance of soil-structure interaction was realized from the past failures of massive structures by neglecting the effect of soil in seismic analysis. The analysis of massive structures requires soil flexibility to be considered to avoid failure and ensure safety. Present study, considers the seismic behavior of multi-storey reinforced concrete narrow and wide buildings of various heights with and without shear wall supported on raft foundation incorporating the effect of soil flexibility. Analysis of the three dimensional models of six different shear wall positions founded on four different soils has been carried out using finite element software LS DYNA. The study investigates the differences in spectral acceleration coefficient (Sa/g), base shear and storey shear obtained following the seismic provisions of Indian standard code IS: 1893 (2002) (IS) and International building code IBC: 2012 (IBC). The base shear values obtained as per IBC provisions are higher than IS values. © 2015 Techno-Press, Ltd.

    Soil–Structure Interaction Effect on Seismic Force Evaluation of RC Framed Buildings with Various Shapes of Shear Wall: As Per IS 1893 and IBC
    (Springer India sanjiv.goswami@springer.co.in, 2015) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Chinmayi, H.K.
    Behaviour of a structure is altered by the interaction amid the structure, foundation and the soil medium below the foundation. This mutual dependent behaviour of structure and soil is called as soil–structure interaction (SSI). Hence, it is not realistic to analyse a structure as per conventional structural design practice which considers the base to be fixed. Comparative study on seismic provisions of Indian seismic code, IS 1893:2002 (IS) and International building code IBC:2006 (IBC) is carried out in present study to look into the effect of soil flexibility on variation in natural period, spectral acceleration coefficient, base shear and storey shear. Multi-storey reinforced concrete framed buildings of varying height with various shapes of shear walls over raft foundation were considered. Analysis of 3D SSI models with three different shear wall shapes founded on four different soil types which are classified based on shear wave velocity has been carried out using finite element software LS DYNA. Study shows the significant effects of SSI in altering the seismic response of structure. It also shows that the base shear obtained as per IBC are higher than the IS values and the corrugated shape of shear wall experience the lowest base shear compared to cylindrical and rectangular shape shear walls for buildings with aspect ratio below 3. © 2014, Indian Geotechnical Society.

    Seismic force evaluation of RC shear wall buildings as per international codes
    (Techno Press technop2@chollian.net, 2016) Jayalekshmi, B.R.; Chinmayi, H.K.
    Seismic codes are the best available guidance on how structures should be designed and constructed to ensure adequate resistance to seismic forces during earthquakes. Seismic provisions of Indian standard code, International building code and European code are applied for buildings with ordinary moment resisting frames and reinforced shear walls at various locations considering the effect of site soil conditions. The study investigates the differences in spectral acceleration coefficient (Sa/g), base shear and storey shear obtained following the seismic provisions in different codes in the analysis of these buildings. Study shows that the provision of shear walls at core in low rise buildings and at all the four corners in high rise buildings gives the least value of base shear. © 2016 Techno-Press, Ltd.
