Soil Dynamics and Liquefaction 2000

Proceedings of sessions of Geo-Denver 2000, held in Denver, Colorado, August 5-8, 2000. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 13 papers presenting cutting-edge information of practical interest on active research in the field of soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering.

Topics include:

• methods for liquefaction assessment,
• constitutive modeling,
• cyclic shear strength,
• dynamic soil-structure interaction,
• dam engineering,
• soil improvement,
• in situ testing, and
• probabilistic methods.

These papers demonstrate how combinations of modern computational methods and experimental research can help to advance the understanding of both fundamental and applied problems.
