This book is an outgrowth of the proceedings for the Geotechnical Symposium in Roma, which was held on March 16 and 17, 2006 in Rome, Italy. The Symposium was organized to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Tatsuoka as well as honoring his research achievement. The publications are focused on the recent developments in the stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, with an emphasis on laboratory measurements, soil constitutive modeling and behavior of soil structures (such as reinforced soils, piles and slopes). The latest advancement in the field, such as the rate effect and dynamic behavior of both clay and sand, behavior of modified soils and soil mixtures, and soil liquefaction are addressed. A special keynote paper by Prof. Tatsuoka is included with three other keynote papers (presented by Prof. Lo Presti, Prof. Di Benedetto, and Prof. Shibuya).
The material in this work is focused on recent developments in research into the stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, with an emphasis on laboratory measurements, soil constitutive modeling and behavior of soil structures (such as reinforced soils, piles and slopes). The latest advancements in the field, such as the rate effect and dynamic behavior of both clay and sand, behavior of modified soils and soil mixtures, and soil liquefaction are addressed.
This one-of-a-kind reference evaluates the efficacy, stability, and
strength of various soil walls, slopes, and structures enhanced by
geosynthetic materials. Offering stimulating contributions from
more than 50 leading specialists in the field, Reinforced Soil
Engineering compiles recent innovations in design layout,
controlled construction, and geosynthetic material implementation
for improved cost-efficiency, maintenance, and functioning in civil
engineering applications. The book focuses on geotechnical
earthquake issues and case histories from countries including the
United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, and other European
nations.
