Geotechnical and geophysical site characterization

Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization collects the papers presented at the Third International Conference on Site Characterization (ISC'3) that took place in Taipei from April 1-4, 2008.nbsp;The subjects covered include new developments in mechanical in-situ testing and interpretation techniques, statistical analysis of test data, geo-environmental site characterization, soil sampling methods, multi-dimensional geophysical imaging techniques, residual/unsaturated soil characterization, and case histories that involve major construction projects or disaster investigations.nbsp;Over 200 papers, twelve keynote lectures and the third Mitchell lecture were presented at the conference.nbsp;Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization provides a wealth of valuable information for practicing engineers as well as researchers worldwide.
