"Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and Rehabilitation" presents the latest developments and case studies in the field. All contributions to this proceedings were rigorously reviewed to cover the newest developments in disasters related to earthquakes, landslides and slopes, soil dynamics, risk assessment and management, disaster mitigation and rehabilitation, and others. The book will be a useful reference for geotechnical scientists, engineers and professionals in these areas.


PREFACE
This 2nd International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster Mitigation and
Rehabilitation (GEDMAR08), held at the Hohai University, Nanjing, China from 30 May to 2 June,
2008, is one of the activities of International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical
Engineering (ISSMGE) Technical Committee TC39: Geotechnical Engineering for Coastal Disaster
Mitigation and Rehabilitation. It is organized jointly by Hohai University, Chinese Institution of Soil
Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (CCES), and Chinese Society of Environmental
Geotechnics (CSRME) under the support ofTC39, TC4 on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and
Associated Problems, and the Joint Working Group on Geotechnical Engineering for Disaster
Mitigation and Rehabilitation (JWG-DMR). This conference is the second in the series. The first
conference was held at the Furama Riverfront Hotel in Singapore from 12-13 December 2005.
One hundred and forty-four papers from 20 countries and regions are included in this Proceedings.
The papers were selected from more than 200 abstract submissions after a rigorous review process.
This Proceedings contains 7 keynote and special invited plenary lectures written by international
renowned experts and 18 special session and invited papers that reflect the special topics discussed in
this conference. Not all the keynote or invited papers are included in this Proceedings due to various
constraints. The other 119 papers cover a range of topics including disasters related to earthquake,
landslide, soil dynamics, risk assessment and management, slopes, disaster mitigation and
rehabilitation and others .
It is hoped that this Proceedings will be a useful source of reference to geotechnical engineers and
professionals in other disaster related fields .
