PROJECT DETAILS

Effects of Wet-dry cycles and Physico-chemical factors on the Swell-shrink behaviour of Compacted clay barriers (M.Tech. Programme)

(Guided by Dr. T. Thyagaraj)

Compacted clay liners in landfills come in contact with waste leachates, and simultaneously they may also be subjected to wet-dry conditions, and can induce swelling or shrinkage. The swell-shrink behaviour of liners in response to changes in physico-chemical factors pose great challenges as the efficiency of clay liners and cover systems may be altered by leachates. The research was aimed at bringing out the effects of physico-chemical factors on the cyclic swell-shrink behaviour of compacted bentonite, bentonite-fly ash mixture and bentonite-sand mixture. During the process of swelling and shrinkage due to wet-dry cycles, the water content and suction varies, and have continuous relationship between them. The relationship between water content and suction during swelling or shrinkage of soil is called as soil water characteristic curve (SWCC). Studies focusing on the SWCCs of barrier materials such as bentonite and its mixtures are lacking. Therefore, the research also focussed on bringing out the effect of pore fluid composition and wet-dry cycles on the SWCCs of compacted bentonite and bentonite enhanced liners.

Campus Information System using GIS (B.Tech. Programme)

(Guided by Dr. Thulaseedharan Nair)

The whole campus of College of Engineering, Trivandrum was surveyed employing Total Station and a detailed map of the campus was obtained using ArcGIS 9.0 in which the major features were put in separate thematic layers. A TIN model representing contour of the area was also prepared. Details regarding boundary, road networks, water supply, drainage networks, electrical installations, OFC networks, buildings, prominent trees identified by the nature club, wells and topographical details were given in separate maps. The total area of the campus as well as the plinth area of the buildings was determined. This can prevent further encroachment of the land belonging to the campus. The Campus information system developed which serves as an information database of the campus has provided an indispensible tool for planning and execution of future works in the campus, as well the information can be updated from time to time.
