PREFACE
DFI-INDIA 2016: Conference on Deep Foundation Technologies for Infrastructure Development in India
with a one day pre-conference workshop on Soft Soil Engineering, IIEST, Shibpur, Howrah, Kolkata
during September 8-10, 2016. On behalf of DFI and DFI of India we express our sincere thanks to the
Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST) Shibpur, to Jadavpur University and to
the Indian Geotechnical Society- Kolkata Chapter for readily agreeing to join hands with DFI and DFI of
India and also for doing everything that is required on ground to make this year’s event a grand success.
DFI is an international non-profit forum for engineers, contractors, manufacturers, equipment suppliers,
and academia to share knowledge that improves the planning, design, and construction aspects of deep
foundations and deep excavations. In 1996, DFI organized its first conference in India in Mumbai
(Bombay). DFI of India was registered in the year 2013 as non-profit organisation with the Ministry of
Corporate Affairs (MOCA) and entered into an affiliation agreement with DFI. The first successful event
of DFI India in September 2011 at Hyderabad was Followed by DFI-India 2012, DFI-India 2013, DFI-
India2014 and DFI-India2015 Conferences respectively at IIT Madras, IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi and
IISC Bangalore, with the common theme: Deep Foundation Technologies for Infrastructure Development
in India. DFI-INDIA 2016 at IIEST is the latest in this series of Conferences.
The conference is designed to have three main events: a one-day workshop on Soft Soil Engineering, a
two-day conference to highlight latest foundation technologies in four important categories namely, deep
excavation support systems, driven piles, drilled piles and ground improvement. The third event, the
exhibition, which runs parallel with the conference is to show case latest technologies, equipment, testing
& monitoring techniques, and special materials. Six Keynote lectures from overseas experts and eighteen
oral presentations and ten poster presentations from industry specialists and researchers form the
backbone of this conference. The Proceedings Volume (soft copy) will have all the keynote presentations
and full length papers.
This souvenir volume contains technical abstracts, along with messages of dignitaries, details of sponsors
and exhibitors. We hope the volume will be of interest and benefit to the delegates.
A Conference of this scale would not be possible without the support and contributions of the invited and
keynote Speakers, Authors, Conference Sponsors, Exhibitors and Delegates. We gratefully acknowledge
all for their generous support and inspirational participation. We also express our sincere gratitude to the
members of the Advisory Committee, Organizing Committee, Technical Committee and Student
Volunteers for their untiring efforts, besides individuals who lent their quiet efforts for making this
Conference a great success. The untiring and enthusiastic support in the form of guidance, close
coordination and follow up by Ms. Theresa Engler, Executive Director, Ms. Mary Ellen Large, Technical
Activities Manager, and the staff of DFI are gratefully acknowledged. Last but not the least the secretarial
and administrative services rendered by Mr. S. Varadharajan of DFI of India Office are highly
appreciated.

India is considered to have one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and the government of India is working towards a double digit growth rate. Infrastructure development will be the prime activity for growth over the next few decades, and foundation technologies will contribute immensely to the acceleration of construction. It’s imperative for all stakeholders in the foundation industry to meet as often as possible to review these technologies and devise ways and means for their implementation in projects for the bene�t of all. The DFI-India 2016: the 6th Conference on Deep Foundation Technologies for Infrastructure Development in India is a perfect opportunity for collaboration.
This event will be of interest to contractors, developers, agencies, designers, consultants, educators and representativesfrom local, state and central government and public and private sector organizations. It starts with a one-day workshop on Soft Soil Engineering in Underground Space Applications followed by a two-day technical program with keynote lectures by invited experts and presentations by authors of accepted abstracts presenting case histories highlighting innovations and execution of the latest drilled piling systems, driven piling systems, ground improvement and deep excavation systems. This year’s conference will also include a proceedings of full technical papers. Panel discussions will allow participants to interact with the experts and authors of presentations. An Exhibition Area features the latest products and services of equipment, material, instrumentation and testing technology providers as well as contractors and other interested parties. The conference schedule includes dedicated time for attendees to visit the exhibit and network with manufacturers, technology providers and others
