Forensic Geotechnical Engineering V.V.S. Rao and G. L. Sivakumar Babu ISBN: 978-81-322-2376-4 (Print) 978-81-322-2377-1 (Online) In this edited volume on advances in forensic geotechnical
engineering, a number of technical contributions by experts and professionals
in this area are included. The work is the outcome of deliberations at
various conferences in the area conducted by Prof. G. L. Sivakumar
Babu and Dr. V. V. S. Rao
as secretary and Chairman of Technical Committee on Forensic Geotechnical
Engineering of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Foundation
Engineering (ISSMGE). This volume contains papers on topics such as
guidelines, evidence/data collection, distress characterization, use of
diagnostic tests (laboratory and field tests), back analysis, failure
hypothesis formulation, role of instrumentation and sensor-based
technologies, risk analysis, technical shortcomings. This volume will prove
useful to researchers and practitioners alike. |

TC 302 committee has conducted four international seminars on
FGE and the proceedings of the fifth conference held during December 8-10, 2016
at Bengaluru, India are presented herewith. Forensic geotechnical engineering
involves scientific, legalistic investigations and deductions to detect the
causes as well as the process of distress in a structure, which are
attributed to geotechnical origin. Such a critical analysis will provide answers
to “what went wrong, when, where, why, how, and by whom”. Cases
of remedied installations, particularly those which, fall under public / or
government category, where the analysis and evaluation of adopted remedial
measures with regard to their effectiveness and economy may be subjected to
judicial scrutiny also, fall under this purview. It also gives strong inputs
to improve designs. The normally adopted standard procedures of testing,
analysis, design and construction are not adequate for the forensic analysis
in majority of cases. |
