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 presents four technical papers related to geotechnical aspects of underground construction. Topics include: design parameter for numerical modeling of pre-reinforced zones in tunnels; influence parameters for soft rock tunnels; the use of TRD construction techniques for soil mix cutoff walls; and a case study detailing the contribution of drilled piers and shallow foundations to support the construction of the Texas Medical Center's tallest building at 32 stories.

Proceedings of sessions of GeoShanghai 2010, held in Shanghai, China, June 3-5, 2010. Hosted by Tongji University, China; Shanghai Society of Civil Engineering, China; Chinese Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, China. In cooperation with Alaska University Transportation Center, USA; Geo-Institute of ASCE, USA; Deep Foundation Institute, USA; East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Company, China; Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan; Transportation Research Board, USA; University of Newcastle, Australia; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA; University of Kansas, USA; University of Tennessee, USA; Vienna University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Austria. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 49 papers presenting the latest research into using the subsurface as a civil engineering dimension. The pressure exerted by increasing population, sensitivity toward the environment, and the ever-increasing cost of the land are a few of the reasons that underground excavations are necessary to society's health and future. Excavations below the surface provide space for services, transportation of people and goods, water supply and disposal, sanitation, and storage. These papers offer global examples of practical applications of excavations, especially in China. These papers analyze deep excavations and retaining structures, tunnels and underground excavations, and new frontiers in urban geotechnology.
