DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY GANDHINAGAR AHMEDABAD 382424 Amit Prashant Associate Professor July 20, 2015 Subject: Short Course on Geotechnical Investigation for Structural Engineering to be held at IT Gandhinagar during 15" — 17" October, 2015 Dear Sir: 1 enclose herewith a brochure for the above course. Since the insight to geotechnical investigation plays an extremely important role in safe and economical design of structures, we believe that this course may prove very useful to engineers interested in design and construction of buildings and other infrastructures, In the past, the course instructors have been very successfully conducted numerous training courses on such topics for professional engineers. All the courses were very much appreciated by the participants. We therefore suggest that you consider sponsoring some of your engineers to this course. ‘Thanking you, Yours sincerely, CALE Amit Prashant Encl: Brochure of the short course Address: Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, VGEC Complex, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad ~ 382424; Fax: 079-23972586; Email: ap# 2 \ Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar Short Course on Geotechnical Investigations for Structural Engineering To be conducted at IIT Gandhinagar during 15" — 17" October, 2015 Course Objectives The aim of the course is to abreast the participants A) with fundamentals and contemporary topics on expectations from Geotechnical Investigations for design of structures.
