  Ainamoi’s Bauxite Boom: Economic and Employment Opportunities

  By Rop Kipsang Bernard

  Abstract: AbstractMinerals and exploration methodologies rooted in geological expertise and practical applications arecrucial for infrastructure development. The process of mineral exploration generally commences withfield geological mapping, followed by geophysical surveys, geochemical analyses, and drillingtechniques to gather comprehensive information. This mapping initiative begins with a thoroughassessment of historical data, geological maps, field observations, and the collection of samples forsubsequent laboratory analysis. During these investigations, geochemical results yielded significantinsights. The evaluation determined that …

  TATA’s Green Revolution: A Pioneer in Corporate Solutions from Industry to Ecology for SDG-15 and Biodiversity Conservation

  By Vijayaprasath R., S. Asokan, Aslam Javeed M., G. Krishnakumar

  Abstract: AbstractPopulation growth, coupled with industrial and colliery activities, is leading to habitat degradation andenvironmental deterioration, significantly impacting crucial eco-system services. In mining regions,like the Noamundi Iron ore and West Bokaro Colliery, these challenges are particularly evident asresource extraction activities can threaten local biodiversity. SDG-15, “Life on Land”, aims to preserveand improve ecosystems while preventing and reversing biodiversity loss and land degradation. Inresponse to these challenges, TATA Steel has executed BMPs …

  Advanced Geotechnical Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction in High-Rise Building Foundations

  By Raju Ramrao Kulkarni

  Abstract: AbstractThe stability of high-rise buildings is fundamentally influenced by the interaction between theirfoundations and the underlying soil. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of soil-structureinteraction (SSI) with a particular emphasis on settlement behavior, load distribution, and seismicresilience. By utilizing finite element modeling (FEM) and advanced soil mechanics principles, theresearch evaluates various foundation systems, including deep pile foundations, mat foundations, andhybrid configurations, to determine their effectiveness in diverse geotechnical conditions. The …
