What: Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics IV

When: 18-22 May 2008

Where: Sacramento, California, USA

Organizer(s): ASCE Geo-Institute

Synopsis: "GEESD IV is the 4th decennial Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics Conference organized by the EESD Committee of ASCE's Geo-Institute. GEESD IV follows the highly successful GEESD conferences in Seattle, Washington (1998), Park City, Utah (1988), and Pasadena, California (1978).

GEESD IV will bring together the broad community of geo-professionals working on earthquake engineering and soil dynamics problems for this comprehensive decennial examination of our technical disciplines. The coverage will be diverse, including case histories and practice-oriented papers, recent research findings, innovative technologies, and the emerging arts across many of our disciplines. Professional engineers, researchers, specialty contractors, regulators, educators, and students will interact across a broad range of technical sessions, tutorials, short courses, discussions, and equipment demonstrations.
