Geo-Institute Program

To encourage participation by professionals with interests in geotechnical engineering, the Geo-Institute of ASCE will offer A SPECIAL REGISTRATION RATE to those who attend the Conference on Monday. The day offers a concentrated geo-focus, with the Luncheon, geotechnical track sessions, the Karl Terzaghi Lecture, plus access to the Exposition and ASCE?s150th Anniversary Celebration.

The Geo-Institute would like to announce A History of Progress: Selected U.S. Papers in Geotechnical Engineering, a new Geotechnical Special Publication in honor of ASCE's 150th Anniversary. A History of Progress provides a wide view of the development of geotechnical engineering from a broad spectrum of contributors. From the highly theoretical to the elegantly practical, the 93 historical papers in this one-of-a-kind collection are significant for their contribution to geotechnical engineering literature.

This 2-volume Geotechnical Special Publication will be available at the ASCE Bookstore during the Washington, DC, ASCE Conference and Exposition at a special conference price of $195, a significant reduction from the List Price of $349, and below the Member Price of $261. Don't miss out on this special opportunity!

Special Registration Fee for Geo-Institute Members for GEO-DAY: $150.
