heal.abstract	Thirty three papers have been submitted for this session, covering a range of topics within the field of dynamic response of foundations and retaining structures. The topics can be broadly classified into the following five categories: (a) Seismic behavior of quaywalls, including the analysis and design of countermeasures to resist strong seismic motions and liquefaction 'flow' failure. Essentially all papers in this category refer to, or have been motivated by, the extensive quaywall failures (and successes) in Kobe, during the 17-1-1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake. [Papers Numbered : 32, 43, 59, 66, 92, 61, 101]. (b) Analysis of piles and pile-supported structures subjected to lateral-spreading type of ground deformation. Again, the papers in this session seem to have been motivated by the numerous incidences of liquefaction-induced large ground deformations and their effect on nearby piles in the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. [Papers Numbered : 55, 86, 90, 132, 137]. (c) Dynamic response of pile foundations, under inertial and kinematic vibratory loading. The papers in this group include studies on the effect of pile response on soil-structure interaction. [Papers Numbered: 10A 28, 53, 57, 83, 98, 108]. (d) Analysis of the dynamic responses of shallow and embedded foundations, in a variety of situations. [Papers Numbered: 41, 43, 52, 127, 63, 134, 140, 141]. (e) Dynamic response and design of retaining walls, which retain and are supported by 'stable' soil. [Papers Numbered: 31, 122A, 23]. One interesting remark is that the methods used in the papers for analysis, design, or just interpretation of the observed phenomena include: · theoretical analyses (numerical. analytical, and hybrid) · large scale shaking table tests · centrifuge model tests. In several of the papers the results of such theoretical and/or experimental analyses are contrasted against field observations, to reach reliable conclusions regarding the seismic behavior of complex soil-structure systems. Overall, the papers in this session reflect the considerable progress during the last 4 years in the state of the art of analyzing the behavior of retaining structures and pile foundations under very strong seismic shaking and large ground imposed deformations.	en
