Geotechnical Advances: Soil and Rock Engineering Volume 3

This book presents selected Proceedings of the International Conference on Ground Engineering and Sustainable Infrastructure (ICGESI-2026) and comprises advances in soil stabilization and ground improvement techniques, which play a vital role in enhancing the strength, stiffness, and durability of weak soils, ensuring stability and serviceability of infrastructure. The book also consists of recent developments in environmental geotechnics and further expands this scope by addressing challenges related to waste containment, contaminant transport, and sustainable ground practices for environmental protection. The book covers recent studies of soil structure interaction, which is critical for predicting system performance under static and dynamic loading, enabling the design of safe and resilient foundations. Complementing these areas, the book also includes rock mechanics and rock engineering, which provide the basis for analyzing the mechanical behavior of rock masses, supporting advances in tunnelling, slope stability, and underground excavation. Together, these domains form the backbone of modern geotechnical research and practice, driving innovations for resilient and sustainable infrastructure development.
