Presentation in Geotechnical Engineering & Science
Having understood the need to innovate, support, improve and optimize the operation
processes and systems of minerals, and to improve quality of crystals through engineering
approaches, I would like to sincerely thank Dr.Christo Ananth for his valuable contribution
through Seminars entitled “Role of Clay and Minerals in Geotechnical Engineering and
Science” and “Roles and Responsibilities of Geotechnical Engineers in Enhancing Quality
of Minerals” . He insisted the importance of Geotechnical Engineering to be behind many of
the most modern, groundbreaking minerals that are commonplace today, such as calcite,
dolomite, hydrated lime, china clay, china lime, lime powder and limestone powder. He
explained that Clay has a great influence on the engineering behavior of soils. He lightened the
fact that Deposition, weathering and stresses during geological processes ensure that the
natural structure is different. In geotechnical engineering, besides determining the settlement,
swelling and strength properties, mineral properties of the soil, particle structure and strength
must be known when clay is encountered. Seminars, such as these, will definitely benefit
mankind and kindle the development of Geotechnical Engineering Education. Contribution in
the field of Geotechnical Engineering and Science is overwhelming, while I wish him greater
productive results in all his inputs.
Warm Regards,
Uthaya Kumar,
