The
Society publishes two periodicals, one is "Tsuchi to Kiso", and the
other is "SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS". "Tsuchi to Kiso" is a monthly
journal first issued in 1953 and distributed to each member, and as
of September 1998, the series number has reached 488. Topics are
selected to provide the members current knowledge and future
prospects with respect to a given topic related to the development
of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
The
bimonthly journal "SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS" is the medium through
which geotechnical engineers exchange technical and professional
knowledge, and contains technical papers, technical notes,
discussions and closures written in English. The publication of
"SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS" begun in 1960 and the volume number as of
1998 is 38. Authors of these papers are practicing engineers,
consultants as well as academics from various parts of the world.
"SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS" has now received a reputation as an
internationally-recognized technical journal in the field of
geotechnical engineering. To those who wish to subscribe to "SOILS
AND FOUNDATIONS", please fill in the order form attached to this
