Project Objective

Enhancing objectives of the 6^th International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering.  The conference will provide a forum for research workers, teachers, practicing engineers, and scientists to review recent advances on important topics of current interest.

Project Abstract

Due to uncertainty in the nature of soils, a systematic study of the performance of geotechnical structures and its match with predictions is extremely important. Therefore, considerable research effort is being devoted to geotechnical engineering through the world.
