Conference Themes

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.

Topics on Foundation Engineering

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.

Topics on Slope Stability and Landslides

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.

Deep Excavation and Underground Structures

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.
