Autorenporträt

Dr Sanjay Kumar Shukla is a world-renowned expert in Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering. He is Founding Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Geosynthetics and Ground Engineering, Springer Nature, Switzerland, and Founding Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering Research Group Leader at the School of Engineering, Edith Cowan University (ECU), Perth, Australia. He holds the Distinguished Professorship of Civil Engineering at ten universities, including Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai and Delhi Technological University, Delhi, India. He has over 25 years of experience in teaching, research, consultancy, administration/management, and professional engagement. He is registered Chartered Professional Engineer in Civil and Geotechnical Engineering, Engineers Australia, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Engineer in Civil Engineering, and International Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering, International Engineering Association. He collaborates with several world-class universities, research institutions, industries and individuals on academic and field projects. As a consulting geotechnical engineer, he has successfully provided solutions to the challenging field problems faced by many engineering organisations. He has authored more than 300 research papers and technical articles, including over 195 refereed journal publications. He is also an author/editor of 25 books, including 7 textbooks and 24 book chapters. During 2020-2022, his ICE textbooks, namely Core Principles of Soil Mechanics and Core Concepts of Geotechnical Engineering, have been ranked #1 by Amazon. His research and academic works have been cited well. Shukla's generalized expressions for seismic active thrust (2015) and seismic passive resistance (2013) are taught in universities and routinely used by practising engineers worldwide for designing the retaining structures. Shukla's wraparound reinforcement technique, developed during 2007-2008, is a well-establishedsustainable ground improvement technique. He is among the world's top 2% of scientists for both career-long and single recent year 2021 impacts as Elsevier announced in October 2022. He has been honoured with several awards, including 2021 ECU Aspire Award by the Business Events Perth, Australia, and the most prestigious IGS Award 2018 by the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS), USA, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development and use of geosynthetics. He serves on the editorial boards of several international journals. He is a fellow of American Society of Civil Engineers and Engineers Australia, a life fellow of Institution of Engineers (India) and Indian Geotechnical Society, and a member of several other professional bodies. Dr. Sudharshan N. Raman is Associate Professor in the School of Engineering, Monash University Malaysia. He obtained his Ph.D. with a focus in structural engineering and infrastructure protective technologies from The University of Melbourne, Australia.
