Introduction
Site characterisation is an essential component of the geotechnical design required forprojects involving deep and shallow foundations, basements, slopes, tunnels, roads,embankments, mine tailings, seismic hazard assessments, site remediation and groundimprovement. The Fifth International Conference on Geotechnical and Geophysical SiteCharacterisation (ISC’5) was held from September 5th to 9th 2016, on the Gold Coast about100 km south of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. This fifth conference follows thesuccessful series of international conferences held in Atlanta (ISC’1, 1998), Porto (ISC’2,2004), Taipei (ISC’3, 2008) and Porto de Galinhas, Brazil (ISC’4, 2012). The series ispromoted by the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering(ISSMGE) and managed by the ISSMGE Technical Committee, TC102 (Ground PropertyCharacterization from In-Situ Tests).
These two volume proceedings contain 237 papers, which were presented bygeotechnical researchers and practitioners from 50 countries. Eight keynote papers and 16session report papers are presented by outstanding experts in the field. The Seventh James K.Mitchell Lecture presented by Prof. An-Bin Huang is also included. The papers have beensorted into 15 general themes, namely: 1. Developments in technology and standards; 2.Penetration testing; 3. Interpretation of in-situ testing; 4. Laboratory testing and sampling; 5.Liquefaction assessments; 6. Pavements and fills; 7. Pressuremeter and dilatometer; 8.Geophysics; 9. General site characterisation; 10. Characterisation in rock and residual soil;11. Characterisation of non-standard soils; 12. Design using in-situ tests; 13. Case histories;14. Application of statistical techniques and 15. Environmental testing. The Seventh James K.Mitchell lecture, keynote papers and session report papers are provided at the beginning ofVolume 1.
The editors would like to thank all of the members of TC102 for their ongoingsupport as well as all experts involved in reviewing the selected papers. We are particularlygrateful to all keynote lecturers, session reporters and authors for their contribution to thestate-of-the-art, as presented in these proceedings. We are most grateful for the financialsupport provided by the Australian Geomechanics Society.
