VENUE:

National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli – 620015.
National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli is a centrally funded technical institute. One of the largest academic campuses in India, the campus has an area of 800 acres, Located in Tiruchirappalli, which is located at the center of the Tamil Nadu, rich in artifacts, sculptures, Temples , monuments, etc., all around it. Therefore it is a virtuous place to study the geotechnical aspects of heritage structures

THEMES OF SYMPOSIUM

Geological and geotechnical challenges in historical sites
The geological and geotechnical characteristics of different historical sites, including underground and rock-cut sites, in India and overseas will be the main focus.

Diagnostics of distress
A significant difficulty is determining the type and severity of distress in historic buildings without sacrificing their historic significance. Although non-destructive testing techniques (such as GPR, Tomography, MASW, etc.) are typically used, intrusive tests are occasionally performed as part of diagnostic investigations. The most recent innovations and cutting-edge practice will be discussed during the conference.

Heritage geotechnics
Under this theme, several types of foundations will be identified, along with the materials utilized and any related issues.

Geohazards and heritage
Geohazards including earthquakes, cloudbursts, and slope collapses have lately destroyed a number of historic structures, making their preservation extremely difficult. One of the main issues of this conference will be risk assessment, tactics, and preventative actions against such natural disasters.

Geotechnical Safety assessment
This theme will cover the identification of failure processes in foundations, retaining structures, and underground structures as well as innovative approaches for deterministic and probabilistic safety evaluation.

Numerical modelling strategies
Within this theme, recent developments in numerical modeling of the substructure, foundation soil, and soil - structure interaction will be discussed as they relate to safety assessments of historical sites and structures.

Geotechnical interventions towards rehabilitation
Under this theme, recent cutting-edge rehabilitation methods will be explored, together with their design principles, to solve geotechnical distress in old foundations, earth-retaining structures, or underground structures.

Case studies on Historical sites
The symposium will serve as a forum for the discussion of key case studies that are very instructional either because of the difficult geotechnical distresses they experienced or because of the innovative solutions created or implemented to secure the safety and preservation of the historical sites.

Geotechnical Investigation, monitoring and performance assessment
This theme will cover the geotechnical-based investigations for effective monitoring of heritage structures and the development of warning systems

Soil structure interaction aspects of heritage structures
Under this theme, the state-of-the-art technology and methods for the investigation of soil-structure interaction and mitigation measures for controlling these effects on heritage structures will be considered.

Other topics related to Heritage Structures
Any contributions related to the heritage structures will be considered under this theme.

HERITAGE TOUR

On February 16, 2024, third day of the symposium, a guided heritage tour will be organized for the participants to explore the UNESCO World Heritage sites. The tour specifics will be regularly updated on the conference website.
