heal.abstract	This paper is concerned with analysis and design across the breadth of geotechnical engineering. Sections by individual experts relate to Codes and standards, Deep foundations, Embankments and slopes, Underground construction and Seismic design. Each considers recent developments, including economy and sustainability. Recent geotechnical codes and standards from Europe, North America and Japan are compared. All adopt forms of limit state design and address familiar geotechnical problems of uncertain ground behaviour and complex interaction of loads with frictional materials. Some topics which are still under debate are discussed. Design of deep foundations is a blend of empiricism and theory. Developments including drilled and grouted piles in rock and offshore driven piles are presented. Topics considered include assessment of ultimate capacity and the environmental benefits of pile re-use and piles as heat transfer elements. Design of embankments and slopes depends on empirical rules and observation, as well as theory. In Japan, tolerance to displacements following earthquakes is a particular consideration. Embankments used as transport corridors or as building platforms are discussed. Failures involving uncontrolled fills are particularly noted. For construction underground, understanding of the fundamental physics is imperative, along with comprehensive process of checking during both design and construction. Greater use of cement replacements would aid sustainability. The final section of the paper considers performance-based design of foundations against two seismic hazards: emergence of a rupture underneath a structure, and bearing capacity mechanisms for slender structures on shallow foundations. © 2009 IOS Press.	en
