Proceedings of the 2004 Structures Congress, held in Nashville, Tennessee, May 22-26, 2004. Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 180 papers that explore the latest changes in codes, including wind and seismic provisions along with important new approaches, such as blast resistance, to enhance the security and stability of the structures. Rehabilitation and retrofitting emerge as a critical topic because private companies and government agencies alike are upgrading existing structures to hold the line on insurance premiums and to meet Federal Emergency Management Agency guidelines. Topics include: innovations in infrastructure design; recent trends in transportation structures; design approaches for different model building codes; restoration and repair of existing structures; seismic design concepts; project delivery systems; business and professional practice in structural engineering; ongoing theoretical and experimental research activities; and computation methods.

Proceedings of the 17th Analysis and Computation Specialty Conference 2006, held in conjunction with Structures Congress 2006 in St. Louis, Missouri, May 18-21, 2006. The collection of 44 papers highlights recent research in the broad areas of applied structural analysis, optimal structural design, structural control, and emergent computing technology. Dr. Kircher's presentation addressed the topic of Protecting Older Buildings with Seismic Isolation and Damping Systems. Dr. Kircher has made significant contributions to the field of earthquake engineering including the development of earthquake damage and loss estimation methods, seismic hazard criteria, and isolation and damping system design criteria used in building codes.

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 32 papers on the design of slopes and retaining structures that continue to pose challenges to geotechnical engineers. These include long-term performance under static and seismic conditions and in harsh environments, issues related to use of nontraditional backfills, and the reliability of the constructed systems throughout the design life. Several challenges related to design and construction of slopes and retaining structures are addressed with the increased utilization of geosynthetics. The level of activities associated with geosynthetics reinforcement range from paved and unpaved roads to the construction of segmental retaining walls and slopes. Field and laboratory performance of retaining walls and slopes under seismic and static conditions are presented. National and international experts discuss performance of reinforced and unreinforced pavement systems, slopes and retaining structures in harsh environments and under severe conditions.
