All our infrastructure is either on or in the ground. As a result, geotechnical engineering plays a key role in all major civil engineering projects in the UK and beyond.

ICE Proceedings: Geotechnical Engineering provides a forum for the publication of high quality, topical and relevant technical and practical papers covering all aspects of geotechnical research, design, construction and performance. The journal aims to be of interest to those civil, structural or geotechnical engineering practitioners wishing to develop a greater understanding of the influence of geotechnics on the built environment.

Geotechnical Engineering covers all aspects of geotechnical engineering including tunnelling, foundations, retaining walls, embankments, diaphragm walls, piling, subsidence, soil mechanics and geoenvironmental engineering. Presented in the form of reports, design discussions, methodologies and case records it forms an invaluable reference work, highlighting projects which are interesting and innovative.

Skirted foundations in calcareous soil P. G. Watson, BE(Hons), BComm and M. F. Randolph, FTSE, FIEAust, MA(Oxon), PhD(Cantab) j Exploitation of oil and gas reserves in deep water off Australia's North-West Shelf has provided the impetus for extensive research into offshore foundation systems for the seabed calcareous sediments. Signicant performance and installation problems associated with traditional piled foundations for the North Rankin A and Goodwyn A platforms have prompted investigations into shallow foundations, such as caissons and skirted rafts, where centrifuge modelling has played a key role in exploring potential designs...
