Author Information

Prof. A. Murali Krishna is a faculty member of Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Tirupati, since May 2019.  Before this, he was a faculty member in the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Guwahati for about 11 years. Dr. Krishna obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, M.Tech. from IIT Kanpur and B.Tech. from Sri Venkateswara University College of Engineering, Tirupati. His research interests include earthquake geotechnics, geosynthetics and ground improvement, site characterization and numerical and physical modelling of geotechnical structures. He is an executive member of Deep Foundations Institute (DFI) India, Indian Geotechnical Society. He co-authored nearly 200 publications of technical papers in international and national journals, conferences and seminar proceedings, including book chapters. Dr Subhadeep Banerjee is currently serving as Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, India. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from National University of Singapore in 2010. His research interests include seismic soil-foundation interactions, cyclic behaviour of geomaterials, and finite element analysis of complex dynamic problems. Besides, he is also an expert in constitutive modelling of soils with special emphasis on its transient dynamic behaviour. At IIT Madras, he has formed three research groups to study the following attributes: (i) cyclic characterization of various types of natural soils, improved ground, landfills, etc., (ii) development of constitutive models of soils emphasizing on their performance under seismic loadings and (iii) application of fundamentals of dynamics to various complex soil-structure problems, such as tunnelling, base isolation techniques, plate anchors and retaining walls.   Dr. N. Kumar Pitchumani holds 30 years of experience in the field of Geotechnical Engineering, including experience in teaching and working as a practitioner. He has been responsible for various projects involving ground improvement of soft clays, reclamation fills and design of underground structures for metro projects. He is presently involved with the Chennai Metro, Kolkata Metro, and Patna Metro. Dr. Pitchumani obtained his Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering in the year 1987 from Bombay University and later obtained his Master’s and Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur in 1989 and 1992, respectively. He is a chartered engineer with Institution of Engineers, London, and level D-certified project management associate. He was an assistant professor at IIT Madras and worked in prestigious organizations, such as the National Institute of Rock Mechanics, L&T Ramboll, L&T ECC and COWI, Dubai, before joining AECOM.
