Application of Digital Image Cross Correlation to Study Sinkhole Collapse

open access: yesInternational Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This paper presents the results of a study using a transparent soil experimental technique and numerical modeling to detect 3D deformations resulting from submerged cavities that lead to a sinkhole. Excessive deformations from underground activity beneath highway pavements could lead to sinkhole collapse. The formation of a sinkhole is often sudden and

Application of RMR89–NATM Rock Mass Classification for Tunnel Design: A Case Study From Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.

Quantifying Interannual Variations in Groundwater Fluxes Within a Braidplain Aquifer Using Active‐Distributed Temperature Sensing

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Braided rivers are a significant contributor to groundwater flow in braidplain aquifer (BPA) systems, yet the spatiotemporal variations in flow exchange remain poorly understood. This study presents an extensive active‐distributed temperature sensing data set collected over a 3‐year period from two 100‐m long fiber optic cables installed up to
