SUMMARY:On liquefaction and reliquefaction studies and their mitigation techniques
DESCRIPTION:The third session of the distinguished lecture series organised by the Department of Civil Engineering is scheduled to be held on September 18\, 2021\, Saturday\, from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Dr Ganesh Kumar S\, Scientist\, Geotechnical Eng. Division\, CSIR-CBRI\, Roorkee will deliver a talk on the topic “Liquefaction and reliquefaction studies and their mitigation techniques”. \nDuring an earthquake\, liquefaction is one of the processes that occur in the saturated loose sand layer. It occurs when the pore water pressure reaches a certain level\, which is near to the soil’s total stress. Structures built on top of or within the liquefied ground may fail to owe to ground settlement\, which is one of the possible effects. The lecture aims to elaborate on the experimental studies on the liquefaction and reliquefaction potential of saturated ground and the use of ground improvement techniques for its improvement. \nAbout the Speaker:\nDr S Ganesh Kumar is currently working as a scientist in Geotechnical Engineering Division at CSIR-Central Building Research Institute\, Roorkee. He completed BE in Civil Engineering from Anna University and ME Geotechnical Engineering from Government College of Technology\, Coimbatore. After his ME\, he joined IIT Madras for his PhD. He completed PhD in the year 2014\, working in the area of soft clay improvement using combined vacuum consolidation and geosynthetic encased stone columns. He has one year of academic experience and six years of research experience. He has published 7 papers in SCI and Scopus indexed journals and presented 18 papers in International and national conferences. His areas of interest include ground improvement techniques for soft clay improvement\, ground improvement measures against liquefaction and reliquefaction hazards\, and landslide control measures. \nJoin this engaging session on September 18\, 2021\, at 9:30 am to know more about liquefaction and reliquefaction studies and their mitigation techniques!
