Géotechnique Symposium in Print 2015: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

Synopsis

The many large earthquakes of the last decade, including the series in Christchurch in 2010-11 and the Tohoku earthquake in Japan, have focussed even greater attention on the cyclic behaviour of soils during these events. Great advances have recently been made on all aspects of soil dynamics, from the prediction of liquefaction based on site investigation to the impact of shaking on geotechnical systems.

This symposium will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research findings and implications to practice in areas including:

• Dynamic response of geotechnical systems
• Prediction of liquefaction and evaluation of its impacts
• Seismic stability of slopes

The symposium has attracted many excellent papers from the UK, Europe, North America and Asia. These cover the full range of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, from micromechanics using DEM to the latest developments on liquefaction prediction based on site investigation.
