Proceedings of sessions of GeoShanghai 2010, held in Shanghai, China, June 3-5, 2010. Hosted by Tongji University, China; Shanghai Society of Civil Engineering, China; Chinese Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, China. In cooperation with Alaska University Transportation Center, USA; Geo-Institute of ASCE, USA; Deep Foundation Institute, USA; East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Company, China; Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan; Transportation Research Board, USA; University of Newcastle, Australia; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA; University of Kansas, USA; University of Tennessee, USA; Vienna University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Austria. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 41 papers addressing many different areas of soil behavior, constitutive modeling, and geo-micromechanics. Papers cover topics ranging from experimental studies of soil shear strength and compressibility to theoretical advances in Biot's consolidation theory and constitutive modeling. The research described in this proceedings advances understanding of soil as an engineering material and improves our ability to model the behavior of soil in slopes, foundations, and earth structures.

Compaction Grouting Consensus Guide focuses on the practical and engineering aspects of compaction grouting as a technique of ground improvement. Compaction grouting increases the density, strength, and stiffness of the ground through slow, controlled injections of low-mobility grout that compacts the soil as the grout mass expands. The technology can be applied to a wide range of soils, in most cases being used to improve the engineering properties of poorly compacted fills and loose native soils. Compaction grouting can be applied equally well above or below the water table. This standard promotes good practice in compaction grouting and is essential reading for anyone involved in specifying, designing, or undertaking compaction grouting.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 42 papers that examine a variety of topics in soil dynamics and earthquake engineering. Topics include: dynamic soil-structural interactions under seismic loads; dynamic properties of soils and rocks; and seismic zoning and earthquake hazard assessment. Papers cover important issues such as the dynamic responses of earth dams, piles and pile groups, soil nailing, tunnels, landfills, and shallow foundations.
