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 38 peer-reviewed papers on shallow foundations. Historically, shallow foundations were the first used in supporting man's early attempts in building. Over time there has been a continual need to better model the behavior of shallow foundations with continued advancements in technology, design and construction procedures. These papers provide new concepts and comparisons related to the design of shallow foundations and deep compaction improvement for shallow foundations.

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 sessions of the GeoShanghai Conference, held in Shanghai, China, June 6-8, 2006. Hosted by Shanghai Society of Civil Engineering, China. In cooperation with the Geo-Institute of ASCE; Georgia Institute of Technology; and University of Kansas. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 44 papers covering recent advances in the research and construction of shallow foundations, pile foundations, and limit state design. A keynote paper by Professor Harry Poulos summarizes recent advances in the settlement of pile groups. A section of 15 papers addresses statistical applications and the use of limit state design for foundations. Another section of 25 papers on deep foundations describe a series of advances in the estimation of pile capacity and pile installation issues. The final section includes three papers that focus on advances in the estimation of settlement associated with shallow foundations.

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 the International Deep Foundations Congress 2002, held in Orlando, Florida, February 14-16, 2002. Sponsored by The Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 110 papers documenting applied research and engineering experience in the area of deep foundations. The volume is a comprehensive resource for both researchers and practitioners covering driven, jacked, and augered piles and drilled shafts. Topics include: geotechnical design, structural design, innovative construction, validation and verification of design and construction, soil-structure interaction, reliability-based design, field load testing for design, concepts for deep foundation systems (such as piled rafts), numerical and analytical modeling of pile foundations, design of foundations for extreme events, and numerous and varied case histories. Several papers also focus on the acquisition and use of geomaterial properties for deep foundation design and the use of deep foundations in walls.
