This book compiles the first part of contributions to the China–Europe Conference on Geotechnical Engineering held 13.-16. August 2016 in Vienna, Austria. About 400 papers from 35 countries cover virtually all areas of geotechnical engineering and make this conference a truly international event. The contributions are grouped into thirteen special sessions and provide an overview of the geoengineering research and practice in China, Europe and the world:
· Constitutive model
· Micro-macro relationship
· Numerical simulation
· Laboratory testing
· Geotechnical monitoring, instrumentation and field test
· Foundation engineering
· Underground construction
· Environmental geotechnics
· New geomaterials and ground improvement
· Cold regions geotechnical engineering
· Geohazards – risk assessment, mitigation and prevention
· Unsaturated soils and energy geotechnics
· Geotechnics in transportation, structural and hydraulic Engineering
