This book marks the 60th anniversary of ICE's world leading journal, Géotechnique. It includes a set of seminal papers published in Géotechnique over the past 60 years as well as all the papers from the specially commissioned June 2008 Diamond Jubilee issue.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEORY AND PRACTICE
The book highlights the important contributions that Géotechnique has made, and continues to make, to the theory and practice of ground engineering and provides a glimpse into the future.
Since it was first published in 1948, the journal has continued to ignite international interest, providing readers with the best original papers and technical notes on soil and rock mechanics, engineering geology and environmental geotechnics.
THE SOURCE OF MODERN GEOTECHNICS
Nine seminal Géotechnique papers from 1950-1990 have been reproduced in their original format alongside the discussions that they provoked. Many of these papers set the direction of modern geotechnics and the origins of current theory and practice can be retraced to them.
