978-981-13-4435-0 (ISBN)
The contributing authors are renowned researchers in their respective fields, which include soft ground improvement, seismic response of retaining structure using soil-structure Interaction (SSI) principles, and unsaturated soils. Based on keynote addresses and invited talks presented at the Indian Geotechnical Conference 2016, this book will prove a valuable resource for practicing engineers and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering.
Dr. K Ilamparuthi is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, Chennai, with more than three decades of teaching and research experience. He obtained his PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India. His areas of research include ground improvement, soil-structure interaction, anchor foundations, slope stability analysis and finite element analysis. Over the course of his career, Professor Ilamparuthi has published over 200 research papers in journals and conference proceedings and has guided nine PhD students and 145 M.E students. He is actively involved in the administrative running of the College of Engineering Guindy, and has held various posts including dean in-charge, chairman of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and head of department. Professor Ilamparuthi is an active consultant involved in several major projects. He has received numerous prestigious awards for his research and his consultation work, as well as for the Commonwealth fellowship. He worked at the University of Liverpool, UK for a period of 13 months from October 1999 to November 2000, and has visited several countries such as UK, Belgium, Australia, Hong Kong, USA, Middle East and Singapore on various assignments. Dr. R. G. Robinson is a professor in the Geotechnical Engineering Division at the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Madras, India. He obtained his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, India and has pursued postdoctoral research at the National University of Singapore, in addition to visiting University of Wollongong in Australia for a period of six months under the Endeavour India Fellowship. His research interests include physical modelling, soil characterisation and ground improvement with special reference to soft clays and expansive soils. He has published over 100 research papers in journals and conference proceedings, and has guided 8 PhD and 15 Masters students. Dr. Robinson and his students received the IGS-Mr H.C. Verma Diamond Jubilee Award for Innovative Instrument Design from IIT Madras.
