Abstract

The 13 papers in this volume are related to geotechnical and structural engineering. The first eight papers present recent findings on soil-structure interaction as evaluated on the basis of field behavior. Diverse structures are covered, including bridge abutments, pipelines, cut-and-cover tunnels, and large span culverts. In aggregate, these papers provide an excellent review of the stresses and deformantions experienced by instrumented subsurface structures and the most appropriate analytical techniques for qualifying and predicting the stresses and deformations induced in similar structures. The next four papers present information on nondestructive testing of infrastructure, including emerging and advanced technologies and case histories. The last paper describes the development and evaluation of the Tensioned Wire System for monitoring horizontal and vertical movement in a tunnel.
