DESCRIPTION:Proper characterization of the engineering propert
 ies and behavior of gravelly soils is critical for
  safe\, economic design of civil works\, such as d
 ams\, bridges\, railways\, and tunnels\, since the
 y are frequently constructed upon or through these
  materials.  Characterization of gravelly soils is
  challenging given the relatively large particle s
 izes\, which prohibits the use of most conventiona
 l in situ and laboratory testing techniques.  This
  presentation will first present the broader conte
 xt within which the behavior of gravelly soils are
  analyzed and then describe in detail recent advan
 ces in characterization techniques.
