INTRODUCTION

V E N U E : D E P A R T M E N T O F C I V I L

ENGINEERING, AMU, ALIGARH

Infrastructure development is the backbone for the

development of a country. Geotechnical Engineers play

a key role in infrastructure projects. Geotechnical

Engineering is concerned with the design and

construction of foundations, slopes, retaining walls,

embankments, tunnels, levees, wharves, landfills,

marine & offshore structures and similar facilities. It

plays a key role in all civil engineering projects built on

or in the ground. Geotechnical Engineering is also vital

for the assessment of natural hazards such as

earthquakes, liquefaction, sinkholes, rock falls and

landslides. In recent years, our country has seen

tremendous growth in infrastructure projects related to

railways, highways, airways, ports, underground

tunnels, power plants etc.

The conference is aimed at bringing together

academicians, professional engineers, scientists,

executives from industries and government

organizations to interact and to exchange experience,

knowledge and views related to Geotechnical

Engineering and allied areas. Keynote lectures during

the conference will be delivered by technical experts

from IGS Delhi Chapter and other leading

organisations.

The Department of Civil Engineering came into

existence in the year 1942. It offers expertise in the

fields of Structural, Hydraulics, Environmental and

Geotechnical Engineering. The department has 38

qualified and dedicated faculty members with

specialization in various disciplines. The department

offers one undergraduate program, four post-graduate

programs (Structural Engineering, Hydraulic

Structures, Environmental Engineering and

Geotechnical Engineering) and research program

leading to Ph.D. degree. The department has been a

pioneer and leader in testing and consultancy works in

all fields of Civil Engineering.

Indian Geotechnical Society, Delhi Chapter was

established in 1982. It is affiliated to parent national

body, Indian Geotechnical Society. IGS Delhi Chapter

is very active in disseminating knowledge to industry

and academia. The Delhi Chapter is the largest Chapter

of Indian Geotechnical Society with the member

strength of over one thousand members. IGS Delhi

Chapter received two consecutive “Best Chapter

Awards” in 2014 and 2015 for remarkable contribution

in the field of geotechnical engineering.
