Pijush Samui

Prof. Pijush Samui is an established researcher in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for solving

different problems in engineering. Dr. Samui developed a new method for prediction of response of soil

during an earthquake. He has shown that two parameters are sufficient for determination of soil response,

reported in press released by Indian Institute of Science (http://iisc.researchmedia.center/article/methodpredict-how-different-soil-types-respondearthquakes-0).

He has given charts for prediction of response of

soil during an earthquake and developed equations for prediction of lateral spreading of soil due to

earthquake. He developed equations for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil based on

strain energy and prediction of seismic attenuation. Dr. Samui developed efficient models for prediction of

magnitude of reservoir induced earthquake. He generated new methodology for site characterization to

provide soil properties at any point in site without performing a test. The methodology has been applied for

Bangalore, Kalpakkam, Vellore and Chennai. The developed model is very useful for smart city project.

Dr Samui has developed models for determination of medical waste generation in hospitals with equations

used for practical purpose. The developed models can be used for clean India project. He determined

frequency effects on liquefaction by using Shake Table. The number of cycles to reach either the peak pore

water pressure or the final settlement of soil mass increases significantly with an increase in the frequency

of the excitation. He applied soft computing techniques for prediction of stability status of rock and soil

slope. He generated methodologies for determination of reliability of slope. Dr. Samui has applied AI

techniques for determination of bearing capacity and settlement of foundation and equations for

determination of bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundation. Dr Samui also developed equations

for determination of compression index and angle of shearing resistance of soil. Equations have been

developed for prediction of uplift capacity of suction caisson. Users can use the model for smart city

projects. He developed equations for determination facture parameters of concrete. The models have been

developed for determination elastic modulus of concrete.Dr Samui’s active research activity is evident from his extensive citation of publications in google scholar

(total frequency = 920) with H-Index of 20. Dr Samui has published journal papers, books/book chapters

and peer reviewed conference papers that involved co-authors from Australia, India, Korea and several other

nations.He has been Visiting Professor at Far East Federal University(Russia).
