Abstract: Proceedings of GeoCongress 2012, held in Oakland, California, March 25-29, 2012. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.
This collection contains 463 peer-reviewed papers integrating current geotechnical research and practice. Papers explore recent advances, sustainability, the use of new technologies, and cast histories.
Topics include: foundations; earth stability; soil properties; geotechnical engineering education; pavements; geotechnical earthquake engineering; analytical, numerical, and physical modeling; unsaturated soils; site characterization, in situ testing, and monitoring; rock and underground space; geoenvironmental engineering; and emerging topics.
These papers are valuable to geotechnical researchers and engineers, especially those interested in blending the latest current research with the best of engineering practice.
