| Research Interest | Breif Research Interest |
|---|---|
| Finite Difference Methods, Lumped Parameter Modelling of Reinforced earth bed, Influence of dynamic loads on geotechnical engineering structures, Stability Analysis of Underground Excavations, Ground Improvement Techniques. | My area of interest in modelling soil using discrete approach and dynamic soil structure interaction problems especially response due to moving load. I try to analyze problems of reinforced earth bed with fundamental mathematical principle along with moderate computational efforts. Our group is currently trying to incorporate the continuum approach of modelling of soils and understand the validity of computational modelling of soil/rock. |
