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 includes 11 papers on the use of inexpensive geophysical tools to assist with civil engineering decisions. These papers on innovative applications of geophysics review the recent progress in the application of innovative geophysical methods in engineering practice. The emphasis is placed upon their applications in different stages of civil engineering projects, including planning, construction and maintenance.

Prepared by the Committee on Earth Retaining Structures of the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication provides guidelines for the use of braces and tiebacks during excavations, focusing particularly on safety issues. When an excavation is made in soil or rock, materials adjacent to the cut face lose their natural lateral support. It them becomes necessary to support the excavation with braces and tiebacks, which provide the lateral restraint needed for safety. In addition to assisting engineers make essential safety decisions, this report provides information and conceptual orientation for owners, funding agencies, contractors, and engineering and architectural staff.

All in the Family: Civil Engineering Legacy Stories presents short accounts of families with multiple generations of civil engineers. Each profile describes how family members influenced each other to enter the civil engineering profession and captures the stories of how they contributed to major historical highway, bridge, and airport construction projects. Profiles are generously illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs of the civil engineers and their projects.
