Foreword
TheIndianGeotechnicalSociety(IGS)wasstartedastheIndianNationalSocietyof
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering 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.
The Society conducted several symposia and workshops in different parts of
Indiasinceitsinceptionin1948.Itwasintheyearof1983,theIndianGeotechnical
Society organized its first annual conference IGC 1983 in Indian Institute of
Technology Madras.
Several local chapters of the Society were established over the years, and
gradually, the annual conferences were held in different cities under the leadership
oftherespectivelocalchapters.Theconferenceswerewellutilizedasthevenuefor
showcasing the research works and the case studies on geotechnical engineering
and geoenvironmental engineering, and the papers presented during the delibera-
tions were being published as conference proceedings volume.
The annual conferences IGC 1996 and IGC 2006 were organized by IGS
ChennaiChapter,andthepaperswerepublishedasprintedvolumes.Thepracticeof
printing the volumes was later discontinued in view of large expenditure involved
andalsobecauseoftheeasyaccesstotheelectronicstoragemedia.Thepapersthen
became not accessible to the rest of the geotechnical community.

IGS Chennai Chapter, and the conference was held during 15–17 December 2016.
It was felt necessary to publish selected papers for the benefit of the entire
geotechnical engineering community as well as of the contributing authors. The
ChapterapproachedSpringerwitharequesttotakeupthisresponsibility,andwith
the great help of Springer, about 150 selected papers are being published in four
volumesundertheseries‘LectureNotesinCivilEngineering’.Theselectedpapers
are distributed among these volumes depending upon the topic of discussion.

I am thankful to all the general editors and the reviewers of these papers who
provided valuable review comments for the betterment of the papers published in
these volumes. The support provided by the former President of the Indian
Geotechnical Society, the late Prof. Sreerama Rao, and the former Honorary
Secretary of IGS, Shri Jai Bhagwan, is gratefully acknowledged here.
Bringingoutthesevolumesunderthebannerofprestigiouspublishers,Springer
will immensely improve the visibility of these conference proceedings volumes.
The Chennai Chapter of the Indian Geotechnical Society places on record its
acknowledgement of the efforts put forth by Springer for bringing out these vol-
umes for the benefit of the geotechnical engineering community.

Preface
The annual conferences of the Indian Geotechnical Society bring out research
papers and case histories on various topics in geotechnical engineering and
geoenvironmental engineering. The conference IGC 2016 held at IIT Madras
showcased more than 350 papers.
Springer is bringing out conference proceedings with selected papers from the
conference. There are four volumes covering different conference themes. This
fourth volume of the proceedings is presenting the papers on geotechnical appli-
cations and case histories. The major themes covered under this volume are
(i) shallow and deep foundations; (ii) stability of earth and earth retaining struc-
tures;(iii)rockengineering,tunnellingandundergroundconstructions;(iv)forensic
investigations and case histories; (v) reliability in geotechnical engineering;
(vi) special topics: offshore geotechnics, remote sensing and GIS, geotechnical
education, codes and standards.
Majorgeotechnicalengineering applicationsareseeninthefoundationsofvery
light structures to very heavy ones. A good number of papers on geotechnical
engineering of shallow and deep foundations are included in this volume. Deep
excavations are very common in the present-day construction. Case histories and
analyticalstudiesondeepexcavationproblemsarepresentedinsomeofthepapers.
Slope stability studies cover a significant volume of geotechnical engineering
application. There are 11 papers on the slope stability problems in this volume.
Some papers cover the dynamic response of slopes under seismic conditions. One
of the key areas where the modern geotechnical procedures are adopted is the
reinforced earth wall constructions. There are two papers on this topic.
Geotechnicalengineeringapplicationsonoffshoreconstructionsrequirecomplex
studies and analytical procedures. Three papers on the subject are finding place in
this volume.
