PREFACE Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, as well as their interface with Engineering Seismology, Geophysics and Seismology, have all made important progress over the past 15 years, mainly due to the development of instrumented large scale experimental facilities, to the increase in the quantity and quality of recorded earthquake data, to the numerous well-documented case studies from recent strong earthquakes as well as enhanced computer capabilities. One of the major factors contributing to the aforementioned progress is the increasing social need for a safe urban environment, large infrastructures and essential facilities. The advances achieved are also confirmed by the increasing number of scientific journals and publications which are relevant to the field of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. The successful International Conferences on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering organized every 4 years by the Technical Committee of Earthquake Engineering of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering constitute irrefutable evidence as to the growing interest taken by the scientific and engineering community in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. This book contains the full papers of the invited keynote and theme lectures, including the 2nd Ishihara lecture, given during the 4th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (4ICEGE) held in June 2006 in Thessaloniki, Greece. It provides a thorough presentation of state-of-the-art topics related to Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering and Soil Dynamics and their interface with Engin
