Geotechnical Books & Standards

The Geo-Institute of ASCE (G-I) currently has two active standards in development. G-I monitors or participates in the International Building Code, other ASCE institute standards, and ASTM International standards.
The Geo-Institute's Geotechnical Special Publications (GSPs) are recognized nationally and internationally as premier publications for geotechnical engineering and the geoprofession.
