From Research to Practice in Geotechnical Engineering, GSP 180, honors Dr.
John H. Schmertmann, Professor Emeritus and P.E., for his contributions to
civil engineering. It begins with his biography, a list of his students and
writings, followed by reprints of his selection of 16 representative papers
from his career. Twenty-eight new, mostly invited papers follow on a great
variety of subjects, including: the installation and testing of piles;
pile-structure interaction; liquefaction and its mitigation; case histories of
settlement and landslide mitigation and capping a superfund landfill; and
computer modeling. The authors include six members of the National
Academy of Engineering. This GSP concludes with a paper by one of these,
Dr. Schmertmann, which itself concludes with a suggestion for improving
your technical writing. Everyone working in the geotechnical profession will
find something interesting and useful herein.
