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
