Proceedings of Geo-Frontiers 2005, held in Austin, Texas, January 24-26, 2005. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 10 papers on the erosion of soils in the United States. Topics include: erosion of construction sites; erosion after fires; erosion on embankment slopes; meandering of rivers; scour of bridges and foundations; internal and external erosion of dams; proper design at the beginning of the project; monitoring issues; countermeasures (such as geosynthetics, vegetation, rip rap); fundamental understanding of erosion through research; erosion mitigation mechanisms; and geosynthetic products and applications.

Proceedings of the Geo-Shanghai 2014 International Conference, held in Shanghai, China, May 26-28, 2014. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 54 technical papers which cover recent advances in ground improvement and geosynthetics. GSP 238 focuses on pile/column technology as foundation or embankment support, chemical, electrical or biological technology for soil stabilization, ground improvement with other technology, geosynthetic reinforcement for roads, slopes, walls, and foundations, and geosynthetics for other applications, such as the use of geofoam.

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 21 papers on engineering issues related to flow, deformation, and stability of earth structures and on lessons learned from the failure of the New Orleans levees after Hurricane Katrina. The papers on the flow and deformation of earth structures advance our capabilities to model, evaluate, analyze, and monitor flow and deformations of earth structures. The papers on the stability of earth structures examine the design and performance of structural systems used to stabilize slopes and protect rapidly weathering rock. Papers by representatives of teams investigating the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina address issues related to the performance of the levee system as well as perspectives on lessons learned and possibilities for future directions of the Hurricane Protection System for Southeast Louisiana.
