Proceedings of the 2010 Biennial Geotechnical Seminar, held in Denver, Colorado, November 5, 2010. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE; the Colorado Chapter of the Geo-Institute; Rocky Mountain Section of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists; Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers. This collection contains 11 papers is a collection of papers that examine past, present, and future geotechnical challenges for Colorado in the areas of earth retention, foundations, dams, pavements, and sustainability. Topics include: downtown excavation shoring; Colorado earthquakes; sustainability in geotechnical engineering; thermo-active foundations; helical pile capacity. This Geotechnical Practice Publication will be valuable to anyone involved with geotechnical engineering, especially those working in Colorado or similar geologic settings.

Proceedings of the Rocky Mountain Geo-Conference 2020, held in Westminster, Colorado, November 6, 2020. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute Chapter of the Colorado Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Mile High Chapter of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists, Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers, and the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers.Geotechnical Practice Publication No. 13 contains14 peer-reviewed papers on the complex geotechnical challenges in the Rocky Mountain region.Topics include: roadway embankment failure analyses and repair; analysis, design, and rehabilitation of an embankment dam; unique foundations and retaining structures; laboratory testing and modeling; field testing and investigation; tunneling; and local soil conditions.GPP 13 focuses on geotechnical practice and experience in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain west; however, it will be of interest to practitioners working in any similar geologic setting.
