Proceedings of the 1998 Specialty Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, held in Seattle, Washington, August 3-6, 1998. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 116 papers covering a broad field of geotechnical and earthquake topics that includes:

• ground motion;
• seismic hazard in the Pacific Northwest;
• seismic hazard analysis and design motions;
• dynamic soil properties;
• cyclic behavior of soils;
• liquefaction;
• experimental verification by model testing;
• site characterization;
• ground improvement;
• site response;
• displacement-based design;
• dams and embankments;
• retaining and waterfront structures;
• underground structures; and
• non-seismic and blasting vibrations.

GSP 75 also includes ten invited papers focusing on developments in important areas of geotechnical earthquake engineering practice in the past 10 years and on anticipated developments in the next 10 years.
