The Indian National Society of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering was established in the year

1948, soon after the second International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

held at Rotterdam. The Society was affiliated to the International Society in the same year and since then

it has strived to fulfil and promote the objectives of the International Society. In December 1970, the

name, Indian Geotechnical Society (IGS) was adopted. In January 1994, it hosted XIII International

Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. Various Local Chapters of the IGS

organise annual conferences of the Society regularly.

IGS Delhi Chapter has been given the honour to host the Indian Geotechnical Conference – 2012 which

is being jointly organised with Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

The theme of the present Conference is “Advances in Geotechnical Engineering”. The conference is

focussing on the advances in geotechnical engineering taking place to meet the challenges faced in

infrastructure development. The sub-themes of the conference are:

Advances in Geotechnical Characterization

Developments in Dealing with Difficult Ground Conditions and Geotechnical Structures

New Techniques in Instrumentation and Monitoring

Trends in Tunnelling and Underground Structures

Innovative Design and Construction of Foundations

New Developments in Computational Geomechanics

Advances in Environmental Geotechnics

Special Techniques of Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Dynamic Foundations

Practice of Risk Assessment and Disaster Reduction

Experience of Forensic Investigation and Rehabilitation

New Concepts in Professional Practices and Geotechnical Education

This conference aims to evoke excellent response from academicians, engineers, researchers, and

professionals to address the ever increasing complex questions pertaining to Geotechnical

Engineering. Geotechnical experts from all over the country and abroad responded to the opportunity

and challenges and submitted a record number of 445 abstracts covering 11 different sub-themes. After

different stages of scrutiny and review, 274 papers were accepted and published in this proceedings.

The Organising Committee has also invited 15 renowned personalities from India and abroad, to deliver

keynote lectures during the Conference.

IGC-2012 provides an excellent platform for interaction among experts from industries, consultancy

organisations, construction companies, government agencies, suppliers, academic and research

institutions and decision makers.

The Organizing Committee is very much indebted to the keynote speakers and the authors of all

technical papers which are included in this proceedings. We hope the contributions contained in the

proceedings will be a useful and refreshing source of reference to all those in the field of Geotechnical

and Geoenvironmental Engineering.
