Proceedings of the 2008 Biennial Geotechnical Seminar, Nov 7, 2008, Denver, CO; Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE; Geotechnical Group of the Colorado Section of ASCE; Rocky Mountain Section of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists; Colorado Association of Geotechnical EngineersFrom downtown Denver to the beet plants of eastern Colorado and from the sprawling Front Range suburbs to the Rocky Mountain High Country, these papers address the solving of complex geotechnical and environmental challenges, analysis and rehabilitation of dams and reservoirs, earth retention, and geotechnical innovation. Topics discussed include: Downtown Redevelopment; Construction on Sugar Beet Waste and Expansive Soils; Dam Remediation Including Spillways and Sinkholes; Soil-Cement Uplift Pressures; Internal Erosion in Dams; Ancient Mesa Verde Reservoir Embankments; Brownfield Redevelopment; Research in Soil Moisture Retention Curves and Intrinsic Dampening; Retaining Walls Including Asset Management; and Airport Runway Upgrade. This proceedings focuses on Colorado’s specific geotechnical practice and experience. It will be valuable to anyone in geotechnical engineering, especially those working in Colorado or similar geologic settings.
