The recent earthquake disasters in Japan and a series of other disasters in the world have highlighted again the need for more reliable geotechnical prediction and better methods for geotechnical design and in particular dealing with geohazards. This book provides a timely review and summaries of the recent advances in theories, analyses and methods for geotechnical predictions and the most up-to-date practices in geotechnical engineering and particularly in dealing with geohazards. A special section on the geotechnical aspects of the recent Tohoku earthquake disaster in Japan is also presented in this book.
Key Features: This book is written by a group of internationally renowned researchers and practioners to honour and mark the 40 years’ contribution of one of the greatest educators, researchers and engineers in the world, Professor Hideki Ohta, to geotechnical engineering. Professor Ohta is presently professor at Chou University after his retirement from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. The book provides some first-hand information on the 2011 Tohuko earthquake disasters in Japan, the most recent update on the theories and methods for geotechnical analyses and predictions, and the latest methods and practices in geotechnical engineering, in particular, dealing with geotechnical hazard. It is a rare occasion for some 30 plus international authorities to write on their best topic that they have been working on for years. The book is a must-have collection for any libraries and professionals in geotechnical engineering.

Dear Admin, and our great forum staff
after greeting
can we open new two sections under structural books forum ??
1- light gauge structural framing system
2- tensile structures
already we have an individual special section ( Bridges ) - and the two mentioned type of structures are used now in a wide rang
also parallel with that I hope the same doing for the related software
thanks in advance

18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Author: Pierre Delage, Jacques Desrues, Roger Frank, Alain Puech, François schlosser | Size: 863 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Presses des Ponts | Year: 2013 | pages: 3504
The French Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CFMS) is most happy to host the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (18th ICSMGE) in Paris, France, from Monday 2 to Friday 6 September 2013.
The main theme of the Conference is “Challenges and Innovations in Geotechnics”.
The Conference will take place at the Paris International Conference Centre (Palais des Congrès) located at Porte Maillot, 1km West of the Arch of Triumph, very near the Champs-Elysées Avenue and the historical centre of Paris.
CFMS will do its best to organize a very successful conference and to offer to the delegates and accompanying persons an exciting and pleasant stay in Paris.
In agreement with ISSMGE President's vision for strengthening the role of the Technical Committees (TCs), the 18th ICSMGE Paris 2013 will have a new format.
As indicated in the preliminary program the two first days (Monday 2 and Tuesday 3 September), devoted to plenary sessions, will include the Terzaghi Oration by Suzanne Lacasse, as well as 7 ISSMGE Honour lectures proposed by the TCs (See Program/Hounour Lectures).
The two following days (Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 September), devoted to parallel sessions, will include the Discussion Sessions and the Workshops.
The Discussion Sessions are meant to discuss the papers sent to the Conference. It is planned to have 28 Discussion Sessions in total (of 1 ½ hour each with 1 General Report and the presentation of 6 selected papers). They will be managed by the TCs according to their subject area (see Program/Discussion Sessions).
The Workshops will have a free format. They correspond to requests made by the TCs themselves (it is anticipated to have some 20 such Workshops).
The technical visits, as well as other activities, will be organised on the last day (Friday 6 September).
More than 770 papers have been received from 70 Member Societies.
