Practice of geotechnical engineering principles has significantly contributed to solution of a number of problems in the area of infrastructure development. Valuable lessons have been learned from successes as well as failures in the major engineering projects in the country. The two day conference brought together academicians, researchers and engineers interested in the field and discussed some case studies in geotechnical engineering. Experts from various countries in the area of geotechnical engineering and consultancy practice participated and shared their experience and knowledge.

This volume brings the proceedings of the conference on Case Studies in Geotechnical Engineering “GEOPRACTICE 2005, 2006” held on July 25 and 26, 2005, 2006 at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
