This book presents the proceedings of the 21st European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, held in the Netherlands in September 2011. Six sections cover the topics of: underground construction; pile foundation and ground improvement; soil dynamics; dams, erosion and piping; deformation and soil properties and geothermics. The papers included here present the new and refreshing perspective of young engineers exploring the field of geotechnics. Geotechnical engineering aims to contribute to sustainable living and to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax

This publication contains the papers presented at the 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, held in Athens, Greece. Considerable progress has been made in recent decades in understanding the engineering behavior of those hard soils and weak rocks that clearly fall into either the field of soil or of rock mechanics, and there have been important developments in design and construction methods to cope with them. Progress would be even more desirable, however, for those materials which fall into the 'grey' area between soils and rocks. They present particular ch

This proceedings contains 89 papers from 25 countries and regions, including 14 keynote lectures and 17 invited lectures, presented at the Third International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation (3ICGEDMAR 2011) together with the Fifth International Conference on Geotechnical & Highway Engineering (5ICGHE), which was held in Semarang, Indonesia, from 18 to 20 May 2011. This is the third conference in the GEDMAR conference series. The first was held in Singapore from 12 to 13 December 2005 and the second in Nanjing, China, from 30 May to 2 June 2008. The proceedings is divided into three sections : keynote papers, invited papers and conference papers under which there are six sub-sections : Case Studies on Recent Disasters; Soil Behaviours and Mechanisms for Hazard Analysis; Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation Techniques; Risk Analysis and Geohazard Assessment; Innovation Foundations for Rail, Highway, and Embankments; and Slope Failures and Remedial Measures. The conference is held under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Technical Committee TC-303 : Coastal and River Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation, TC-203 : Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Associated Problems, TC-302 : Forensic Geotechnical Engineering, TC-304 : Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment and Management, TC-213 : Geotechnics of Soil Erosion, TC-202 : Transportation Geotechnics, TC-211 : Ground Improvement, Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS), Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia (AGSSEA), and Road Engineering Association of Asia & Australasia (REAAA).

Proceedings of the 2012 Biennial Geotechnical Seminar held in Denver, Colorado, on November 9, 2012. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute Chapter of the Colorado Section of ASCE; the Rocky Mountain Section of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists, and the Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers. This Geotechnical Practice Publication contains 16 papers that address the complex geotechnical challenges in geologic hazards, nondestructive evaluation, geo-construction, and the ground itself. Topics include: debris flow assessment and mitigation; rockfall rating systems; dam sinkhole evaluation; seismic imaging for landslide remediation; photogrammetry for mapping discontinuities, river morphology, and concrete damage; mine subsidence under levees; laramie formation claystone behavior; underdrains for construction on expansive soils; reinforced soil structures; bedrock settlement under dams; energy foundations; drilled shaft foundations; and tunnel rehabilitation. This Geotechnical Practice Publication focuses on Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West.s specific geotechnical practice and experience. It will be valuable to anyone in geotechnical engineering, especially those working in Colorado or similar geologic settings.
