This is the 64th offering of the University of Minnesota Annual Geotechnical Engineering Conference. The Planning Committee, whose members represent the contracting industry, government agencies, the University, and consulting engineers, has developed a program offering technical information and discussion on current topics for the geotechnical engineering community. Topics at the conference will cover the consequences of impact pile driving vibrations, MnDOT's new dynamic pile driving formula, risk and reliability methods for geotechnical engineering, application of the strength reduction method to stability analysis, emergency repairs to buckled piling, the impact of iron oxide on small strain stiffness, rock discontinuity characterization, and recent case histories. The conference provides a forum to interact with peers, meet specialty contractors, and hear researchers and practitioners discuss theory and application of geomechanics. Civil engineers, architects, planners, contractors, and geologists with an interest in geotechnical engineering will benefit by attending this conference. Sponsorship by the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Geo-Engineering of the University of Minnesota, Minnesota Geotechnical Society, and Geo-Institute of ASCE is gratefully acknowledged.
