Geotechnical Slope Analysis (ePub)

(1985-1990) where he worked for his thesis on application of optimization techniques in slope analysis. Since then he was engaged in teaching this subject and in pursuing research on both deterministic and probabilistic approaches of analysis of unreinforced and reinforced slopes under static and seismic conditions. He has teaching, research and consultancy experience in the field of geotechnical engineering for more than four decades now and is presently associated with several National and International Journals as reviewer and also as member of the editorial board.

Subhadeep Metya is presently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur, India. He obtained his B. Tech. (1st Class 1st) from the West Bengal University of Technology, followed by M. Tech. (1st Class 1st) and Ph. D. from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur. During the tenure of his doctoral research at IIEST, Shibpur, Dr. Metya has been a recipient of the prestigious INSPIRE Fellowship of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, from whom he has also received the prestigious Newton-Bhabha PhD Placement Grant 2015-16 for his research stay at the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering (ZCCE), Swansea University, UK. His awards and honours include the University Gold Medal in both B.Tech. and M.Tech., the IGS-Shri R.N. Prasad Biennial Prize (2015) and the IGS-HEICO Young Geotechnical Engineer Award (2018) by the Indian Geotechnical Society. Besides, he has gained a rare and invaluable experience and exposure on landslide related issues while attending the internationally well-known school on landslides "LARAM" held in University of Salerno, Italy in 2014. His current research interests include slope stability and landslides, geotechnical earthquake engineering, reinforced soil structures, and risk and reliability applications in civil engineering.
