This proceedings, "Vertical and Horizontal Deformations of Foundations and Embankments" (Geotechnical Special Publication No. 40) consists of papers presented at the Specialty Conference sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers held in College Station, Texas, June 16-18, 1994. The prime goals of the conference and the resulting proceedings were: to update the progress made since the 1964 Speciality Conference on Design of Foundations for Control of Settlement on prediction methods and mitigation technologies for both vertical and horizontal deformation of different types of foundations and embankments built on different soils; to provide an effective forum for researchers and practitioners to share research results, current practice and recent technological advances; to recognize the limitations in current practice, identify current and future needs of the profession, and assess the potential and feasibility of innovative technologies; and to provide and effective vehicle for technology transfer. The 137 papers included in this publication cover such topics as: embankments, deep fills, and landfills; shallow foundations; deep foundations; soil improvement; numerical and physical modelling; soil dynamics; and expansive soils, residual soils, and rock. This proceedings provides students, educators, researchers, and practitioners of geotechnical engineering an opportunity to assimilate new information and to meet new challenges.

Presents reports from the February 1996 meeting by environmental experts from the US, Canada, and Mexico, discussing environmentally and economically efficient technologies within their cultural and social contexts and looking at their role in enhancing environmental quality in international marketplaces. Identifies critical research needs and examines these priorities from the perspective of NAFTA, and reports on issues such as environmentally conscious manufacturing, risk assessment, and environmental technology transfer.

This collection of technical papers presents the latest ideas and findings on the inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete structures from the analysis and design standpoints. These papers include the state-of-the-art concrete material models and analysis methods that can be used to simulate and understand the inelastic behavior of reinforced concrete structures, and design issues that can improve the seismic performance of these structures. Topics include modeling of concrete behavior; modeling of RC structures (finite element approach and macro-element approach); and experimental studies, analysis, and design issues.

This book contains papers presented at the NSF/CBMS Regional Conference on Coordinates in Operator Algebras, held at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth in May 1990. During the conference, in addition to a series of ten lectures by Paul S. Muhly (which will be published in a CBMS Regional Conference Series volume), twenty-eight lectures were delivered by conference participants on a broad range of topics of current interest in operator algebras and operator theory. This volume contains slightly expanded versions of most of those lectures. Participants were encouraged to bring open problems to the conference, and, as a result, over one hundred problems and questions are scattered throughout this volume. Readers will appreciate this book for the overview it provides of current topics and methods of operator algebras and operator theory.
