Includes bibliographical references.

Parametric Study on the Behaviour of Combined Pile Raft Foundation Founded on Multi-Layered Soil Using Plaxis 3D -- Numerical Analysis of Seismic Response of a Piled Raft Foundation System -- Ultimate Pullout Capacity of Isolated Helical Anchor using Finite Element Analysis -- THEME 9: GEOHAZARDS: ANALYSIS, MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT -- Landslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation -- a Case Study -- A Catastrophe Theory for Planar Sliding Slope -- Properties of Sand -- Rubber Tyre Shreds Mixtures for Seismic Isolation Applications.

This book gathers selected proceedings of the annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society, and covers various aspects of soil dynamics and earthquake geotechnical engineering. The book includes a wide range of studies on seismic response of dams, foundation-soil systems, natural and man-made slopes, reinforced-earth walls, base isolation systems and so on, especially focusing on the soil dynamics and case studies from the Indian subcontinent. The book also includes chapters addressing related issues such as landslide risk assessments, liquefaction mitigation, dynamic analysis of mechanized tunneling, and advanced seismic soil-structure-interaction analysis. Given its breadth of coverage, the book offers a useful guide for researchers and practicing civil engineers alike.
