          environmental aspect of sustainability, while some papers on
        
        
          sustainability assessment focused on the economic and social
        
        
          aspects. The topics covered by these papers can be broadly
        
        
          classified into five sub-themes: material recycling, reuse and use
        
        
          of alternate materials, efficient use of geosynthetics, sustainable
        
        
          foundation engineering, subsurface remediation and site
        
        
          redevelopment, and sustainability assessment. Although these
        
        
          papers deal with a variety of topics that contribute to the
        
        
          sustainable development of civil infrastructure and society, they
        
        
          do not cover all the important topics that are parts of sustainable
        
        
          geotechnics.
