Short Course on Innovative Designs for Foundations on Expansive Soils and Stabilization of Unsaturated Slopes to be organised during  02nd – 04th February 2026  at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Palaj, Gandhinagar- 382355, Gujarat, India. Foundations on expansive soil sites are one of the most challenging problems in geotechnical design. Many of the problems result from failure to identify expansive soils on the sites, inadequate design and construction, use of inappropriate foundation systems, and/or improper construction practices. Damage to structures and infrastructure due to heaving of expansive soils is a billion-dollar issue. Another challenge faced by geotechnical designers is stabilization of unsaturated slopes, especially related to landslides and mine tailings, where innovative solutions are required to manage slopes against rainfall induced failures.  This short course is intended to provide geotechnical, structural, and construction engineers and ...

 Hello, It is dangerous for construction activity due to neglect of Safety. Recently, last week two incidents occurred and we lost the lives of labor. Is it injustice? If we are aware about it no one can lost life as well as damage will be also minimize. If you follow regulation, regulation saves life. On dated 12.10.2024 at Kadi, Dist. Mehsana nine men life lost during the excavation activities. and same day at Junagadh Labor fall down from the terrace.  Here, I attached presentation for your reference.  for download:  Click Here Regards, Mahavirsinh G Parmar
