This book compiles the first part of contributions to the China-Europe Conference on Geotechnical Engineering held 13.-16. August 2016 in Vienna, Austria. About 400 papers from 35 countries cover virtually all areas of geotechnical engineering and make this conference a truly international event. The contributions are grouped into thirteen special sessions and provide an overview of the geoengineering research and practice in China, Europe and the world:

- Constitutive model

- Micro-macro relationship

- Numerical simulation

- Laboratory testing

- Geotechnical monitoring, instrumentation and field test

- Foundation engineering

- Underground construction

- Environmental geotechnics

- New geomaterials and ground improvement

- Cold regions geotechnical engineering

- Geohazards - risk assessment, mitigation and prevention

- Unsaturated soils and energy geotechnics
