Application of Soft Computing Techniques in Geotechnical Engineering and Risk Analysis

This book presents the select proceedings of the annual conference of the Indian Geotechnical Society 2023. The conference brings together researchers, practitioners, and academicians on various aspects of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering including application of soft computing techniques in geotechnical engineering, numerical modeling of various substructures, characterization of geomaterials, ground improvement techniques, rock mechanics and rock engineering, and risk analysis. 

This volume brings together cutting-edge research and practical applications from researchers in the field. Featuring insights on AI/ML integration, geoinformatics, and geohazard risk analysis, this book showcases how emerging technologies are transforming geotechnical problem-solving. With a strong focus on soft computing techniques and probabilistic methods, it addresses the critical role of uncertainty in geomaterials and substructure design. 

The contents of this book will not only be of interest to researchers but also to practicing engineers.
