| Abstract
|
:
|
Characterization, Modeling, and Performance of Geomaterials contains 27 peer-reviewed papers presented at the GeoHunan International Conference, Challenges and Recent Advances in Pavement Technologies and Transportation Geotechnics, which took place in Changsha, Hunan, China, from August 3 to 6, 2009. This Geotechnical Special Publication showcases recent developments and advancements in geotechnical and pavement engineering, adn offers insights into future directions for geoengineering in the 21st century. This proceedings examines innovations in design and construction techniques for professionals in pavement, geotechnical, geoenvironmental, and geomechanical disciplines. The topics analyzed in this volume include: advances in unsaturated soil, seepage, and environmental geotechnics, geosynthetics, geo-environmental engineering, NDT testing of infrastructure materials, and bridge approach embankment. Hunan, on of the largest commercial provinces in China, is rapidly developing into a modern epicenter of international finance and trade. Recent construction in many parts of China has provided geotechnical and pavement engineers with great opportunities for creating cutting-edge solutions to problems involving highway pavements, materials, foundations, ground improvement, slopes, excavations, and tunnels
