About the Book
The first volume of the proceedings contains texts of 151 papers selected for the third symposium in 1996. The papers are arranged under five categories which cover almost all aspects in the area of earth reinforcement: Testing and materials; Embankments; Wall structures; Foundations; Slopes and excavations. The second volume contains texts of the special and keynote lectures, texts of the special reports on the performance of earth reinforcement structures under the latest two great earthquakes, reports of technical session chairmen and discussion leaders as well as concluding remarks.
