Ground Improvement, Landfills and Sustainability, Volume I

This book presents the select proceedings of the International conference on Ground Improvement, Landfills and Sustainability, GLS-2025, organized by IGS Bengaluru Chapter in association with the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) during July 18–19, 2025. The conference brought together engineers, practitioners, scientists, students, researchers, manufacturers, suppliers, contractors and regulators from both the private and public sectors to share their knowledge, expertise and experience in the discipline of geotechnical engineering. The main conference themes were Ground improvement and geosynthetics, Geoenvironmental engineering, Risk and reliability, Forensic geotechnical engineering, Sustainability and pavement geotechnics, all themes related to the stability, reliability and sustainability of geotechnical systems. This book covers the latest trends in these topics and provides future directions and solutions to the most pressing problems of geotechnical engineering.With multiple practice-based papers, this volume includes contrubutions by global pioneers in the areas of geoenvironmental engineering and geotechnical system reliability. Additionally, a majority of this book includes contributions from the young engineers of the country, working in most important areas of geotechnical engineering.
