Proceedings of the ASCE Pipeline Division Specialty Conference, held in Houston, Texas, August 21-24, 2005. Sponsored by the Pipeline Division of ASCE. This collection of 91 papers covers a wide range of topics related to the advancement of water, wastewater, oil, and gas pipelines. Public agencies and private companies are challenged by the task of replacing, rehabilitating, and expanding their pipeline infrastructure to maintain services and supply lines without interruption. Continued advances in pipeline materials, controls, and nondestructive testing support the growth of pipeline networks in these communities. This collection is an effective means of sharing the advances in pipeline design, construction, and maintenance among practitioners, researchers, and designers.

Proceedings of geotechnical sessions at the 2001 Annual Civil Engineering Conference, held in Houston, Texas, October 10-13, 2001. Sponsored by the Shallow Foundation and Soil Properties Committee of the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 14 papers that discuss the effects of trees and moisture movements on various lightly loaded foundations on expansive clays. Papers review current state of the practice in foundation design, maintenance, and remediation as it relates to vegetative effects and expansive clays on foundations. Topics include: tree root damage to buildings; predicting volume changes in expansive soils resulting from environmental factors including vegetation; drought; expansive clay soil problems and solutions throughout the world; soil-structure interaction; field test program to obtain geotechnical properties; depth of wetting and active zone in expansive soils; slabs on expansive clay with vegetation considerations; volume change coefficient of expansive clay; in-situ modification of active clays for shallow foundation remediation; cracking of pavement due to drying shrinkage; soil suction measurements; and data base on under-slab moisture contents in Texas.
