This book reviews the developments that have taken place in the field of geotechnical engineering since the first international conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering was held in Harvard University in 1936 until the January 1994 conference in New Delhi, India.

Proceedings of a conference on [title] held Dec. 1986, Bangkok. Covers stability of natural and man made slopes, design and analysis of foundations, underground openings and excavations, computer controlled testing and investigation of soils, computer aided solutions for some special problems in eng

Contents:

Geotechnical Aspects of Coastal and Offshore Structures, the Proceedings of the symposium, held in Bangkok, on the 14-18 December 1981

This volume contains papers contributed by experts on recent developments in geotextiles, geomembranes, and other geosynthetics in ground improvement. The papers presented here comprise the twelfth volume of a series of publications on the annual geotechnical symposia. For ease of reference this volume has been divided into four sections, namely: Laboratory and field tests; Embankments, excavations, slopes and earth retaining structures; Soil and rock improvement schemes; Site investigation and other selected topics.

This text outlines the problems commonly encountered during infrastructure constructions on soft and subsiding ground in lowland environments, and their solutions in terms of soil/ground improvement techniques.
