These papers, drawn from the January 2005 conference, describe participant's work in the modeling of soil properties. Invited papers include descriptions of a model for anisotropic and strain-softening clay, unconstrained optimization and calibration of a kinematic-cycle plasticity model, and geotechnical constitutive models in an explicit, dynamic solution scheme. Other topics include a review of the structured Cam clay model, selection and calibration of soil model parameters using genetic algorithms, and models for soft clays, soft rocks, and other configurations, including soils that are in liquifaction.
