International Conference on Offshore and Nearshore Geotechnical Engineering – editors Sushil Kumar Singh, Suzanne Lacasse.

The Institute of Engineering & Ocean Technology (IEOT), of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) is happy to present the proceedings of GEOSHORE International Conference on Offshore and Nearshore Geotechnical Engineering, organized jointly with Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), Norway under the aegis of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) and International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). The conference is organized as part of an ongoing Institutional Co-operation Programme between IEOT and NGI. The conference is aimed at disseminahg state-of-the-art information and knowledge acquired by Geotechnical engineers towards solving Geotechnical problems related to offshore and nearshore structures including those related to deepwater exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons. This conference has provided the opportunity to meet and share ideas, experiences and achievements through participation in keynote and theme lecture, technical paper presentations and discussions. The Conference has been attended by delegates from overseas (about 10 countries) in addition to the distinguished national scientists and engineers from oil industry, port trusts, construction industry, consultants, Geotechnical equipment manufactures, researchers and academicians.
