India has emerged as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Various new infrastructure projects are under progress across the country especially in Northeast India. Geotechnical engineering is the first and most important aspect of any infrastructure project and urban development. Over the years many new trends were being developed and practiced in terms of analysis, design and construction of geotechnical structures and associated site investigations. These trends occurred in site investigation, laboratory testing and analysis, design methods and designs, ground improvement methods, geoenvironmental applications, utilisation of waste byproducts, predicting soil behaviour, dealing with underground structures and offshore geotechnical structures, earthquake related problems and designs, construction methods under challenging situations, etc. These workshop proceedings present some of the emerging trends in geotechnical engineering practice and research activities. The chapters of this book cover and present some of the ongoing trends in analyses of ground improvement methods, utilisation of waste products, ground stabilisations, ground response analyses of rock structures, foundation treatments, designs and analysis, and geoenvironmental challenges and applications, along with construction trends for roads under challenging conditions.
