LIVE TECHNICAL DISCUSSION SERIES
Current trends in Geotechnical engineering:
- Geotechnical investigation practice is rapidly evolving from the classical era of Terzaghi, Horslev, Skempton and other masters of the twentieth century.
- We are now constructing bigger structures on poorer strata
- Developments and demands of the 21st century geotechnical practices have led to a greater emphasis on
- in-situ tests
- advanced testing tools
- digital data acquisition
- Increasingly complex nature of the problems encountered has presented challenges to the new generation of geotechnical engineers
Challenges of the 21st century:
- Use of powerful finite element software has generated a demand for more reliable geotechnical input data
- The thrust is on developing more realistic design parameters, encroach upon the factor of safety and enhance the factor of reliability
- Aspects to be addressed include
- Perform a variety of in-situ and laboratory tests so as to predict parameters from different tests and develop correlations between various parameters,
- Enhance precision of the tests, quality of data acquisition and reliability of test data, and
- Use local experience regarding the soil behavior to minimize uncertainties in the selection of design parameters
In the upcoming live technical discussion, Er. Sorabh Gupta – Director, Cengrs Geotechnica Pvt. Ltd. will join with us. He will share the insights on this extremely important subject.
It would be great if you can share your specific queries/doubts related to geotechnical investigation in advance which would help us to structure the flow of discussion.
In the following registration form, you may share the specific doubts/questions related to the topic which may be addressed during the session.

Brief about Expert
Er. Sorabh Gupta – Director, Cengrs Geotechnica Pvt. Ltd.
Sorabh is having 20+ years of experience in the field of geotechnical engineering. His special interests include Earthquake Engineering, including site-specific response assessment, soil-structure interaction during earthquakes, liquefaction assessment, etc. He has carried out advanced site characterisation at several sites, where he has amalgamated data from CHST, DHST, SASW and SRT with classical geotechnical parameters such as SPT, CPT, etc. He has also been actively promoting the use of advanced Foundation QA methods such as High-Strain Dynamic Pile Load Testing using PDA, Low-strain Pile Integrity testing (PIT), Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL), Parallel Seismic (PS), etc.
He is a qualified internal auditor under ISO:17025-2005 Laboratory Management System, and he is responsible for maintaining quality in the Geotechnical Laboratory at Cengrs.
He is active in several professional organizations, and am currently an Executive Committee Member of the Indian Geotechnical Society, New Delhi. He is also the recipient of the IGS Delhi Young Geotechnical Engineer Award, 2008.
HOW TO REGISTER FOR THE EVENT?
Registration is FREE. You may share the specific doubts/queries/discussion points which may be discussed during the session. It would help us to structure the discussion.
