EDUCATION

2010-2012

Master of Technology CGPA: 9.8/10

Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India

Thesis: Seismic fragility analysis of a primary containment structure using IDA

Supervisors: Associate Professor Siddhartha Ghosh

o A simplified 2D mathematical model incorporating shear behaviour was developed for a nuclear inner containment structure of an Indian PHWR and analysed for a set of seismic ground motions in OpenSEES.

o Probability of failure of the structure was estimated for deformation based limit states. o Parametric optimisation of the probability distribution of deformation was carried out as a continuation

of the project in later period.
