(2021)Top-bar defects in reinforced concrete are voids that are observed below the reinforcing bars that are at an elevation of more than 300 mm, which reduces the bond strength and accelerates the corrosion process of reinforced ...
-
(2022)Drawbell connects the production and undercutting levels in block cave mines. The variables controlling a successful drawbell construction include; rock mass strength, blast damage and induced stress redistribution. ...
-
(2021)The thesis entails the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel small molecules as potential antitubercular and/or antitumour agents.
-
(2021)This study proposed an effective strategy by utilizing natural minerals consisting of transition metal elements as the substitute for conventional synthetic catalysts in PMS activation to decompose organic pollutants in ...
-
(2021)This research has focused on providing a deep understanding of the impact of effective stress on multiphase flow behaviour of subsurface fluid-rock systems. The results are insightful in quantifying and comparing such ...
-
(2021)Computational studies and a prototype half-bridge DC-DC converter capable of logistic-shaped switching transitions to achieve high-frequency electromagnetic interference mitigation is presented. The logistic-shaped ...
-
(2021)Thermal stress and water stress are two major environmental variables that affect seed germination, particularly in arid ecosystems. This study investigated the role of thermal stress and water stress in shaping the ...
-
(2021)Urbanisation frequently degrades wetlands via physical modifications, novel stressors and the introduction of pollutants. The health of wetlands can be measured through the use of bioindicators - such as top predators. ...
-
(2021)This thesis uses 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemical analyses, and a series of other techniques to study the age and composition of basaltic rocks from the Kerguelen large igneous province and Macquarie Ridge Complex in ...
-
(2021)This study focused on developing models to predict the localized folding patterns in geomaterials. For this, we modify the Swift-Hohenbeg using the plate theory and propose a novel mathematical description for folding in ...
