Riassunto

This book discusses the proceedings of the National Conference on GeoPractices for Sustainable Infrastructure (GeoPractices 2024), focusing on the sustainable aspects of geotechnical engineering practices, particularly in highway construction and related ground improvement techniques. It covers topics such as alternative and sustainable construction materials, processes, and design considerations for pavement construction and enhancing weak soils. The publication highlights advanced practices and developments, including the use of geosynthetics, bioremediation, and incorporating industrial byproducts to lower carbon footprint, preserve natural resources, and minimize waste generation. The book is intended to be a valuable resource for emerging researchers and industry professionals interested in advancing sustainable infrastructure.
