He has been cited for his internationally and nationally recognized work in the area of soil dynamics, including pioneering work on liquefaction of fine-grained soils, seismic design of piles, and seismic analysis of rigid retaining walls. He revolutionized the use of geotechnical engineering case histories in professional practice and education, and chaired 6-international conferences on case histories in geotechnical engineering 1984-2008. He also chaired four international conferences on advances in geotechnical earthquake engineering from 1981-2001. He has also authored the first comprehensive text on soil dynamics in 1981.
In 2003, he was awarded Honorary Doctorate by the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, Romania. In 2004, Dr Prakash was recognized as Distinguished Alumnus by the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL. He has served on many committees of ASCE and other professional organizations. He was awarded Life Membership of ASCE for his contributions to ASCE. Professor Prakash was named Honorary Editor of the International Journal of Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering in 2004, Honorary Member of Indian Society of Earthquake Technology in 2003, and Indian Geotechnical Society in 2006.
