Introduction and Learning Objectives and
Various self-financed About Organizing Department
In recent years with sharp increase in rapid
development of infrastructures e.g. high rise structures
with more number of basements, bridges for metro
projects, fly over for roadways, BRTS etc. in metro
cities made us aware of optimum usage of land and
compelled the engineers to apply advanced
geotechnical solutions in context of ground
improvement, deep excavations and earth retaining
structures etc.
An optimized design solutions can only be possible
with in-depth knowledge of various advanced
geotechnical techniques and use of proper judgment.
