The book comprises select proceedings of the 2016 annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society (IGC 2016), with technical papers on the theme “Ground Improvement and Geosynthetics”. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including chemical modification using admixtures, microbial-induced carbonate precipitation, geopolymers, fly ash and other industrial wastes, modification using geosynthetic materials such as natural and synthetic fibers, expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam, prefabricated vertical drains, geosynthetic encased-granular columns and mechanical densification through sand columns. This book is a valuable reference for researchers and practicing engineers alike.

This book presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, computational geomechanics and reliability in geotechnical engineering. The book covers a wide range of topics on liquefaction and stability analysis, dynamic properties, soil–structure interaction, response of framed structure on geotechnical seismic isolation system, seismic response of retaining walls with sand-tire chip mixtures, ground response analysis, probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, etc. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals.

This volume presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: Ground Improvement and Transportation Geotechnics. The papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics on ground improvement which include the modification using different synthetic and natural materials and inclusions in the form of fibers, geotextiles, geogrids, prefabricated vertical drains and soil nails in different ground improvement applications, and chemical modification of problematic soils using both natural additives and industrial by-products such as lime, cement, calcium chloride, calcium carbide, lignosulphonate, fly ash, blast furnace slag and bioenzymes, treatment of expansive soils with granular piles, vibro-compaction, etc. Further, this volume covers the various aspects of transportation geotechnics related to the static and dynamic performance of pavements reinforced with geosynthetic materials, drainage characteristics, and the use of marginal materials in pavements, etc. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals.

This book presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: Characterization and Behaviour of Saturated and Unsaturated Geomaterials, Geoenvironmental Engineering, Geotechnical Investigation and Spatial Analysis and Offshore and Marine Geotechnology. The book covers a wide range of topics on characterization and behaviour of natural and engineered geomaterials, which include soil suction characteristics, hydraulic and volume change behaviour of clay liners, collapse behaviour, contaminant transport, phytoremediation, microbial characterization and biochar-amended soil in landfill covers, stabilization of soils, etc. This book can be a valuable reference for academicians and practicing engineers.

This book presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: Foundation Engineering, Rock Engineering, Slope Stability and Landslides and Deep Excavation and Underground Structures. The book covers a wide range of topics on foundation engineering that include analysis and performance of piled raft foundations, uplift capacity of helical and micro piles, and behaviour of anchor plates. The topics on slope stability and landslides include early warning system for landslides, landslide mitigation and simulation, rainfall induced landslide analysis and slope stability assessment of highway embankments, backfills, concave slopes, coal mine overburden dump and shallow footing on slope. Further, the various aspects of deep excavation and underground structures including the performance predictive models and ground response due to excavations, buried drainage pipe leakage, and urban metro tunnel construction are covered in this book. This book can be a valuable reference for academicians and practicing engineers.
