Proceedings of the 2014 Rocky Mountain Geo-Conference held in Lakewood, Colorado, on November 7, 2014. 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. Geotechnical Practice Publication No. 9 contains 11 papers that address the complex geotechnical challenges in geologic hazards, nondestructive evaluation, geo-construction, and the ground itself. Topics include: seepage reduction on dams and levees; debris flow risk assessment; testing rockfall barrier systems; landslide hazard ranking and remediation; collapsing soils; ground classification system for excavations; and flooding impacts on Left Hand Creek. GPP 9 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 similar geologic settings.

Proceedings of the Biennial Geotechnical Symposium, held in Denver, Colorado, October 22, 2004. Sponsored by the Colorado Section of ASCE; the Geo-Institute of ASCE; Rocky Mountain Section of the Association of Engineering Geologists; and Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers. This Geotechnical Practice Publication contains 17 papers presenting practical case studies and project results for geotechnical engineering on a variety of water resources projects located in Colorado and the Western United States. Practicing geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, and hydrologists share their unique project solutions and real-world experiences with actual projects, including Colorado's oldest water resources project, new and modified dams, pipelines, tunnels, flood hydrology, flood control, ground-water supply and wells, and surface reservoirs. Many of the papers in this Geotechnical Practical Publication deal with dams, including the 1000-year-old reservoirs used by the Ancestral Puebloans at Mesa Verde. Other dam papers discuss new mountain dams and the expansion or repair of existing dams. Flood hydrology papers present the results of erosion control projects in areas scarred by wildfires, flood control in urban areas with intermittent streams, and riverbank slope stability. The underground papers deal with water tunnel rehabilitation, mine site cleanup, deep shaft modeling, and dam conduit repair. The last group of papers examines shallow and deep groundwater wells as well as reservoirs built in alluvium and hard bedrock. All of the papers discuss actual projects with practical applications of geotechnical engineering innovation.

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.
