| Summary |
Annotation Geotechnical Risk and Safety V contains contributions presented at the 5th International Symposium on Geotechnical Safety and Risk (5th ISGSR, Rotterdam, 13-16 October 2015) which was organized under the auspices of the Geotechnical Safety Network (GEOSNet) and the following technical committees of the of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSGME):* TC304 Engineering Practice of Risk Assessment & Management* TC205 Safety and Serviceability in Geotechnical Design* TC212 Deep Foundations* TC302 Forensic Geotechnical EngineeringGeotechnical Risk and Safety V covers seven themes:1. Geotechnical Risk Management and Risk Communication2. Variability in Ground Conditions and Site Investigation3. Reliability and Risk Analysis of Geotechnical Structures4. Limit-state design in Geotechnical Engineering5. Assessment and Management of Natural Hazards6. Contractual and Legal Issues of Foundation and (Under)Ground Works7. Case Studies, Monitoring and Observational MethodThe 5th ISGSR is the continuation of a series of symposiums and workshops on geotechnical risk and reliability, starting with LSD2000 (Melbourne, Australia), IWS2002 (Tokyo and Kamakura, Japan), LSD2003 (Cambridge, USA), Georisk2004 (Bangalore, India), Taipei2006 (Taipei, Taiwan), the 1st ISGSR (Shanghai, China, 2007), the 2nd ISGSR (Gifu, Japan, 2009), the 3rd ISGSR (Munich, Germany, 2011) and the 4th ISGSR (Hong Kong, 2013) |
