OBJECTIVE OF WORKSHOP

Construction of infrastructure facilities such as roads and build-

ings on hill terrain and protecting the same against land slides

due to natural hazards is a challenge to the Civil Engineers. This

workshop deals with the safe construction practices of structures

and methods to minimize the damage due to landslides. Experts

from Science (Environmental & Geology) and Engineering

(Geotechnical and Structural) having vast experience in aca-

demic, research and consultancy will discuss on the trivial issues

a Civil Engineer faces in the real time. This workshop will be

interactive and rely on real case studies and examples benefitting

the designers, practicing Engineers and students to fulfill the cur-

rent day requirements. Civil Engineers need awareness and

knowledge of the advancements made in the field of Civil Engi-

neering. This workshop provides a detailed introduction to the

new technologies in Civil Engineering.
