This book presents select proceedings of the National conference on Geo-Science and Geo-Structures (GSGS 2020). It provides sustainable solutions to various challenges encountered in the field of geotechnical engineering. The topics presented include advanced characterization to study the behavior of geomaterials, shallow and deep foundations including tunneling, use of geosynthetics and other soil reinforcing materials in minimizing slope failures and landslides, dynamics of soils and foundations, and its connection with energy geotechnics, transportation geotechnics, and offshore geotechnics. The book further highlights various aspects of ground improvement techniques by incorporating the use of industrial by-products, forensic analyses of geo-structures, instrumentation and sensing techniques in geotechnical engineering and issues associated with geo-environmental engineering. The book will be a valuable reference for budding researchers, academicians, practitioners and policymakers interested in sustainable practices associated with geotechnical engineering and related domains.
