Proceedings of Geo-Denver 2007, New Peaks in Geotechnics, held in Denver, Colorado, February 18-21, 2007. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 22 papers on geotechnical risk assessment and management, especially reliability-based design. Until recently, attention has been devoted to the ultimate limit state design, but interest in applying reliability-based design for the serviceability limit state appears to be growing. Reliability-based design can now be used in a rational and practical design mode for classical problems such as foundations and retaining walls.

Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Vulnerability and Risk Analysis and Management (ICVRAM) and the Sixth International Symposium on Uncertainty Modeling and Analysis (ISUMA), held in Liverpool, UK, July 13-16, 2014. Sponsored by the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty and the Virtual Engineering Centre of the University of Liverpool, the Environmental Change Institute of the University of Oxford, and the Council on Disaster Risk Management of ASCE. Vulnerability, Uncertainty, and Risk: Quantification, Mitigation, and Management, CDRM 9, contains 290 peer-reviewed papers that build upon recent significant advances in the quantification, mitigation, and management of risk and uncertainty. These papers focus on decision making and multi-disciplinary developments to address the demands and challenges evolving from the rapidly growing complexity of real-world problems. Topics include: risk assessment and management of critical infrastructure projects; performance-based and reliability-based structural optimization under uncertainty; verified and stochastic approaches to modeling and simulation under uncertainty; risk management for floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and other natural hazards; risk and uncertainty modeling in transportation and logistics; and geotechnical risk, uncertainty, and decision making. These papers will be valuable to experts, decision-makers, and others involved in assessing, planning responses to, and managing vulnerability and risk.

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.
