Is it possible to open a particular application always in an associated workspace in awesome window manager? For e.g. I want to open the browser always in the "web" workspace i have.

If awesome window manager cannot do, is there any other tiling window manager can do the same?

You can do this in your rc.lua files with a custom rule.

I have something like this:

-- {{{ Rules
awful.rules.rules = {
    // ...
    { rule = { class = "Chrome" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][2] } },
    { rule = { class = "Qmpdclient" },
      properties = { tag = tags[1][9] } },
    // ...
}

which makes Chrome always start on the second workspace of the first screen, and Qmpdclient on the ninth.
