GeoTrends: The Progress of Geological and Geotechnical Engineering at the Cusp of a New Decade is a collection of papers presented at the 2010 Biennial Geotechnical Seminar in Denver, Colorado, November 5, 2010. This seminar was sponsored by the Geotechnical Group of the ASCE Colorado Section, the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists Rocky Mountain Section, and the Colorado Association of Geotechnical Engineers. From downtown Denver to the open prairie of eastern Colorado, from the western slope mesas to the Rocky Mountains, and from the university classroom to the field, these papers examine past, present, and future geotechnical challenges in the areas of earth retention, foundations, dams, pavements, and sustainability. Topics discussed include: Downtown Excavation Shoring Colorado Earthquakes Sustainability in Geotechnical Engineering Thermo-Active Foundations Helical Pile Capacity This Geotechnical Practice Publication will be valuable to anyone involved with geotechnical engineering, especially those working in Colorado or similar geologic settings.
