Editors Iskander (engineering, New York U.), Laefer (engineering, U. College Dublin, Ireland) and Hussein (PE, GRL Engineers, Florida) have assembled these research articles from the 2009 International Foundation Congress and Equipment Expo that address in situ testing, analysis and reliability measurements for foundations and other earth supports. Written for geotechnical students, professors and engineers, these articles address such topics as computational modeling, serviceability and LRFD, scour of bridge foundations, laterally loaded deep foundations and issues in technical education. Two other volumes in this series address papers on both deep- foundations and earth retention as well as ground foundations and geo- support.
