Description
This book presents select proceedings of the Indian Geotechnical Conference (IGC) 2024 held at MIT, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The book provides the collection of papers that were presented at the IGC 2024. The book covers topic related to geophysical investigation, shallow and deep foundation, geosynthetics, earth retaining structures, soil dynamics, ground improvement, physical and numerical modelling, tunnelling and underground structures, reliability in geotechnical engineering, geomaterial characterisation and so on. This book provides its readers an opportunity to enhance their research capacities and knowledge in the various fields of geotechnical engineering. This book is a valuable reference book for beginners, researchers, academician and professionals interested in geotechnical engineering covering the design and execution of foundations and other structures for variety of infrastructural projects.
