This book presents select proceedings of National Conference on
Advances in Sustainable Construction Materials (ASCM 2020) and
examines a range of durable, energy-efficient, and next-generation
construction materials produced from industrial wastes and
by-products. The topics covered include sustainable materials and
construction, innovations in recycling concrete, green buildings
and innovative structures, utilization of waste materials in
construction, geopolymer concrete, self-compacting concrete by
using industrial waste materials, nanotechnology and sustainability
of concrete, environmental sustainability and development,
recycling solid wastes as road construction materials, emerging
sustainable practices in highway pavements construction, plastic
roads, pavement analysis and design, application of geosynthetics
for ground improvement, sustainability in offshore geotechnics,
green tunnel construction technology and application, ground
improvement techniques and municipal solid waste landfill. Given
the scope of contents, the book will be useful for researchers and
professionals working in the field of civil engineering and
especially sustainable structures and green buildings.

This Second Edition of Geotechnical Slope Analysis is an updated
version of the original scholarly book. In this Edition concepts
and applications have been thoroughly revised. In particular, the
‘Initial Stress Approach’ has been extended to 2D problems in a
more rigorous manner. Additional solved numerical examples have
been added in several chapters. More importantly, the meaning of
the results is explored through interpretation. The influence of
initial stresses, pore water pressures and seismic forces has been
explored not only on performance indicators such as the ‘Factor
of Safety’ but also on the location of Critical Slip surfaces. In
addition to these factors, it is shown that the chosen method of
analysis may also have a significant influence on the location of
the critical slip surface. Student exercises have been included in
some Chapters with a view to encouraging further study and research
and reference is often made to case studies of particular
importance. The best features of the book have been retained with
continued emphasis on both deterministic and probabilistic
approaches for quantifying slope performance. The traditional
performance indicator such as a ‘Factor of Safety’ can be
complemented by the calculation of the ‘Reliability Index’ and
the ‘Probability of Failure’. This book focuses on research
studies concerning slope behaviour, the occurrence of landslides,
and the use of alternative methods of analysis and interpretation.
The importance of uncertainties in slope performance and, more
broadly, in geotechnical engineering is emphasized. This book will
be valuable to undergraduate and senior students of civil, mining
and geological engineering as well as to academic teachers and
instructors and also to researchers, practising geotechnical
engineers and consultants.
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.
