Dalam proses mendesain struktur geoteknik, perlu diperhatikan mengenai ketidakpastian parameter kuat geser pada tanah. Ketidakpastian tersebut dapat mempengaruhi stabilitas struktur dan menyebabkan keluarnya biaya berlebih akibat kegagalan yang terjadi. Pada penelitian ini, akan disajikan proses pemilihan struktur galian pada lingkungan perkotaan dengan memperhatikan ketidakpastian parameter tanah yang dihitung menggunakan metode probabilistik. Struktur galian yang akan dipertimbangkan adalah galian lereng terbuka dan galian dengan dinding penahan tipe sheet pile dan secant pile. Proses pemilihan struktur galian menggunakan analisis Expected Monetary Value dengan mempertimbangkan biaya pembebasan lahan, biaya konstruksi, biaya perbaikan akibat terjadi kegagalan, dan kehilangan pendapatan akibat terjadi kegagalan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa dalam proses pengambilan keputusan sangat dipengaruhi oleh faktor biaya pembebasan lahan, diikuti dengan faktor biaya kehilangan pendapatan, biaya konstruksi dan biaya rekonstruksi. ......In the process of designing geotechnical structures, it is important to consider the uncertainty of soil shear strength parameters. This uncertainty can influence the soil structure stability and resulting in unexpected expenses due to structural failure. This research will provide a decision making process to choose which type of slope excavation structure in urban areas by considering the uncertainty of soil parameters using probabilistic method. Slope excavation structures which will be considered are open-cut slopes, excavation with sheet pile and secant pile retaining wall. The decision making process will be calculated by using Expected Monetary Value analysis which considers land acquisition cost, construction cost, reconstruction cost caused by failure and revenue lost caused by failure. The result shows that the biggest cost which affected the decision is the land acquisition cost, followed by revenue lost cost, construction cost, and reconstruction cost.

The natural disasters are the killer agents which can/can't be predicted even though we have modern technology. Every year, in one place or another, disasters striking which is devastating the area and surroundings, leading to ecological disruption besides huge loss of life and property. India is vulnerable to cyclones, landslides/avalanches, earthquakes, floods, droughts, forest fires, epidemics, etc. The 5700-km long coast of India, with its dense population is vulnerable to cyclones/low depressions, tsunamis, etc. The 2400-km long rugged Himalayan terrain is vulnerable to landslides, avalanches and earthquakes. India is not only vulnerable to natural disasters, it is also experiencing industrial accidents. The Bhopal Gas tragedy is one of the major man-made disasters in the world. The state of Andhra Pradesh has 970-km long coastline with two major rivers, etc. The conference is conducted in Visakhapatnam, is famous for industries and tourism. Recently, several industrial accidents took place, besides major natural disasters like Hud-Hud, etc. Disaster management shall be implemented from the grass root level in vulnerable areas to improve the capacity building, so as to minimize the losses. The capacity building coupled with technology results in reduction of loss of life and property.

This book presents articles covering a wide spectrum of topics in geotechnical engineering, including properties of soils, unsaturated soil mechanics, ground improvement, liquefaction and seismic studies, soil-structure interaction and stability analysis of man-made and natural slopes. The contributing authors are renowned researchers in their respective fields, which include soft ground improvement, seismic response of retaining structure using soil-structure Interaction (SSI) principles, and unsaturated soils. Based on keynote addresses and invited talks presented at the Indian Geotechnical Conference 2016, this book will prove a valuable resource for practicing engineers and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering.

Drawing on years of practical on-site experience, this book presents a new method for controlling "bridge-head bumping" in soft soil ground. Based on deformation compatibility and control theory of structure, it proposes strategies for improving the design method of soft soil ground and the effective "bridge-head bumping" control method. Soft soil ground is chiefly characterized by a large void ratio, high compressibility, high water content, low impermeability, low strength, strong structure and high sensitivity. As a result, it has pronounced rheological properties, and controlling "bridge-head bumping" in soft soil ground is essential to control the amount of soil rheology-induced unstable successive settlement. The book offers extensive information on this and related topics, making it a valuable guide for engineers in Civil Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering alike.
