This edited volume is a compilation of peer-reviewed papers of the plenary lectures, keynote lectures, special lectures and young researcher’s special lectures delivered at the 1^st International Symposium on Construction Resources for Environmentally Sustainable Technologies (CREST 2020) organized by Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. The book focuses on sustainability, promotion of new ideas and innovations in design, construction and maintenance of geotechnical structures with the aim of...

The book brings out several unique perspectives of impacts of COVID-19 on the environment with special emphasis on the risk and remediation of emerging contaminants. Idea is to work out under the one health framework and comprehend not only scientific and technical aspects but also environmental, legal and policy aspects for water resources management. The obvious stress is given to the occurrence, fate and transport of geogenic, microbial and anthropogenic contaminants of emerging concern under the preview of the fact that antibiotic and antiviral use has been unprecedented...

The book develops a practical understanding of the fundamental scientific principles and logic underlying the art of turf pitch preparation, measuring, analysing, and interpreting pitch surface behaviour. It’s an attempt to understand how the captains, players, coaches, curators, and groundsmen comprehend and analyse the cricket pitch behaviour (days before and during the matches) and whether the pitch behaviour can be standardised and quantified (through bench marking or forming a data-based management system (DBMS) of a pitch profile, pitch quality standards, a pitch behaviour analysis...

This contributed book edited by leading global experts focuses on the geoenvironmental and geotechnical issues of coal mine overburden and mine tailings and its unengineered dumping. It aims to provide knowledge-based information for diverse readers to assess, monitor, and manage coal mine overburden and mine tailings in various engineering applications while highlighting efficient solutions to reutilize the waste and conserve natural resources leading to sustainable development. The content also assesses mine backfilling, techniques to stabilize mine tailing storage facilities, mineral...

The book is on latest investigations of natural hazards like earthquakes, landslides, and glacial hazards carried out in last few years. Review papers are on the crustal structure of Himalaya based on latest studies through tomography and receiver transfer function. The seismotectonic models inferred from detailed modelling are also presented. Papers are on shallow soil/sediment structures inferred from passive seismic data, and also on estimation of strong ground motion. Several papers are on landslides and slope stability and two papers on glacial Hazards. A paper suggests...

This book explores recycling and reusing construction wastes as alternative coarse aggregates and presents this as a possible solution for the major challenge of making sustainable concrete. It explores the reduction of cement use and the overcoming of some inferiorities in recycled coarse aggregate through the partial substitution of cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The book evaluates the effect of low-volume SCMs (mainly fly ash) in 100% recycled coarse aggregate based concrete and comprehensively investigates this sustainable concrete for strength, safety,...

The knowledge presented in Landfill Mining of MSW Dumpsites: Global Scenario and Indian Experience is invaluable for practitioners and policymakers aiming to adopt sustainable landfill mining processes. The book is meticulously structured to provide a comprehensive understanding, starting with a global overview and progressing through detailed sections on critical aspects of landfill mining. It offers a holistic approach, covering international practices to specific technical details and real-world applications. By focusing on legacy waste characterization, contamination assessment, and...
