5th International Conference on New Developments in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

This volume highlights thelatest advances and innovations in thefield ofsoil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, as presented byleading international researchers and engineers atthe 5th International Conference on New Developments in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ZM), held in Nicosia, Northern Cyprus onJune 30-July 2,2022. It covers a diverse range oftopics such as soil properties and characterization; shallow and deep foundations; soil improvement; excavations, support systems, earth-retaining structures and underground systems; earthquake geotechnical engineering; stability of slopes and landslides; fills and embankments; environmental preservation, water and energy; modelling and analyses in geotechnical engineering. Thecontributions, which were selected bymeans ofa rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth ofexciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.
