Ten papers from the August 2000 conference address soil-cement construction procedures and other innovative solutions to geotechnical construction issues. Besides several overviews of soil-cement construction practice, there are case studies on pile construction, use of post-tension anchors for seismic upgrades, claims issues on a difficult muck excavation project, and the relocation of a lighthouse.
