It is of a great concern to civil, geotechnical, and environmental engineers to overcome different problems caused by natural disasters, human errors and geo-environmental problems, whch are
related directly or indirectly to the soil and rock properties. Although significant progress in the field of geotechmcal engineering has been made in past few decades, there are still a number of problems that arise in geotechnical analyses, designs, and specifications to prevent the possible damages due to unexpected disasters like landslides, debris flows, earthquakes, etc. So, figuring out these problems and tackling them very professionally are the main challenges at present-day world of geotechnical engineering.
With this objective, the International Symposium on Slope Stability Engineering: Geotechnical and Geo-environmental Aspects - IS-Shikoku’99 was held at Matsuyama, Ehime from November 8 to 1 I , 1999. The symposium was sponsored by the Japanese Geotechnical Society on its 50th anniversary under the auspices of the technical committee on landslides (TC-11) of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) and the Japan Landslide Society. The aim of the symposium was to bring different professionals from different disciplines and backgrounds together into a place to broaden the knowledge and understand the problems all over the world from various perspectives.
This symposium covers a broad range of topics such as site investigation, seismic effect, soil strength parameters, damage assessment, remediation techniques, land development, waste disposal, landslide hazard, simulation, analysis, etc on slope stability engineering. The main themes of the symposium are as follows:
1. Site investigation;
2. Stability analysis of soil and rock slopes;
3. Effects of seismicity and rainfall;
4. Design strength parameters of natural slopes;
5. Effect of land development;
6. Slope stability of waste materials;
7. Stability of landfills;
8. Stabilization and remedial works;
9. Reinforced steep slopes;
10. Probabilistic slope stability;
11. Landslide inventory and landslide hazard zonation;
12. Simulation and analysis of debris flow.
