concrete technoloy, construction materials and associated environmental issues,
havin direct bearin on the development of irriation and power in the country and
functions as an adviser and consultant in the above fields to various pro!ects and
orani"ations in India and abroad#
Broadly, the sphere of activities encompasses the following disciplines:

Soil Mechanics and $oundation %nineerin includin Soil &ynamics,
