Proceedings of the 13th National Technical Seminar on Unmanned System Technology 2023 - Volume 2

This book comprises the proceedings of the 13th National Technical Symposium on Unmanned System Technology 2023 (NUSYS23) held on October 23, 2023. It covers a number of topics, including intelligent robotics, novel sensor technology, control algorithms, acoustics signal processing, imaging techniques, biomimetic robots, green energy sources, and underwater communication backbones and protocols, and it appeals to researchers developing marine technology solutions and policy-makers interested in technologies to facilitate the exploration of coastal and oceanic regions. This book consists of selected papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Advances in Concrete, Structural, and Geotechnical Engineering (ACSGE 2024) held at BITS Pilani, India. The papers represent the latest research work in the fields of advanced composite materials, advanced computational techniques for structures, applications of nanotechnology in civil engineering, bridge engineering, composite structures, concrete technology, the fatigue life of structures, fire-resistant structures, functionally graded materials and structures, geotechnical processes, ground improvement techniques, offshore structures, performance-based design of structures, pre-cast pre-stressed concrete structures, seismic design, and construction, soil structure interaction, structural health assessment and rehabilitation, sustainability of construction, design, and management. The papers are presented by an international pool of academics, research scientists, and industrial experts and therefore cater to the global audience from the fields of construction materials, design guidelines, geotechnical engineering, concrete infrastructures, and structural engineering. This book is part of a 2-volume series of these conference proceedings, it represents Volume 2 in the series.
