In this edited volume on advances in forensic geotechnical
engineering, a number of technical contributions by experts and
professionals in this area are included. The work is the outcome of
deliberations at various conferences in the area conducted by Prof.
G.L. Sivakumar Babu and Dr. V.V.S. Rao as secretary and Chairman of
Technical Committee on Forensic Geotechnical Engineering of
International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering
(ISSMGE). This volume contains papers on topics such as guidelines,
evidence/data collection, distress characterization, use of
diagnostic tests (laboratory and field tests), back analysis,
failure hypothesis formulation, role of instrumentation and
sensor-based technologies, risk analysis, technical shortcomings.
This volume will prove useful to researchers and practitioners
alike.

SUMMARY This book provides complete coverage of surface and
subsurface drainage of all types of pavements for highways, urban
roads, parking lots, airports, and container terminals. It provides
up-to-date information on the principles and technologies for
designing and building drainage systems and examines numerous
issues, including maintenance and designing for flood events.
Practical considerations and sophisticated analysis, such the use
of the finite element method and unsaturated soil mechanics,
anisotropy and uncertainties, are presented. This book allows civil
engineers to make the best use of their resources to provide cost
effective and sustainable pavements. Features Presents a holistic
consideration of drainage with respect to pavement performance.
Includes numerous practical case studies. Examines flooding and the
impacts of climate change. Includes PowerPoint slides which include
quizzes, schematics, figures, and tables.
This book presents select proceedings of the National conference on
Geo-Science and Geo-Structures (GSGS 2020). It provides sustainable
solutions to various challenges encountered in the field of
geotechnical engineering. The topics presented include advanced
characterization to study the behavior of geomaterials, shallow and
deep foundations including tunneling, use of geosynthetics and
other soil reinforcing materials in minimizing slope failures and
landslides, dynamics of soils and foundations, and its connection
with energy geotechnics, transportation geotechnics, and offshore
geotechnics. The book further highlights various aspects of ground
improvement techniques by incorporating the use of industrial
by-products, forensic analyses of geo-structures, instrumentation
and sensing techniques in geotechnical engineering and issues
associated with geo-environmental engineering. The book will be a
valuable reference for budding researchers, academicians,
practitioners and policymakers interested in sustainable practices
associated with geotechnical engineering and related domains.
