Series: Geotechnical, Geological and , Vol. 6

The book contains the invited keynote and theme lectures presented at the 4th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (4ICEGE). The conference was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 25 to 28 June, 2007, and was organized by the Technical Committee of Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (TC4) of the International Society of Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Hellenic Scientific Society of and Geotechnical Engineering and the Laboratory of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

It provides a comprehensive overview of the progress achieved to date in soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering, as as in engineering and assessment and management. In situ and laboratory testing, theoretical 2007, XX, 487 p.
