Abstract
From the early days of modern geotechnical engineering, sharing field experience on the performance of geostructures in the form of case histories has driven the advancement of knowledge for the geotechnical profession. Starting in 1984, Professor Shamsher Prakash formalized this tradition, organizing the First International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering. This conference brought together over 190 engineers from 38 countries to share their experiences, learn from each other, and advance the profession. By 2013, the Seventh conference in this series had grown to nearly 320 engineers attending from 53 countries spanning the globe, culminating in symposia to honor the legacy of the late Ralph B. Peck and to honor Clyde N. Baker Jr. But the essence of the conference had not changed: to advance our profession through lessons learned from case histories and shared engineering judgment.
