Prologue
ThisbookpresentscontributionstoaworkshopdedicatedtoProf.GerdGudehuson
occasion of his 80th birthday. The workshop was organized within the
China-Europe Conference on Geotechnical Engineering at the Universität für
Bodenkultur,Vienna,Austria.TherewasacocktaildinnergivenbyProf.Gudehus
for the workshop participants on 13 August 2018. The workshop lasted for three
fulldaysfrom14to16August2018withpresentationsandsubsequentdiscussions.
The workshop also attracted many conference participants. The lively discussions
reminded me of the good old times with Gerd in Karlsruhe.
The book title “Desiderata Geotechnica” was suggested by Gerd, who has been

eventually undermine any development in our profession. In his own contribution
and the epilogue in this book, Gerd draws our attention to the so-called critical
phenomenaandtheirfractalnature,whicharehighlyrelevantformanyproblemsin
geo-engineering and geoscience. The research is challenging yet rewarding, and
may bring about a paradigm change in our perception for safety and the observa-
tional method. In this sense, our workshop offered an excellent opportunity for a
much desired discourse.

GerdGudehuswasbornon23July1938inHamburg,Germany.Hisfatherwas
an electrical engineer and his mother an artist. Gerd read civil engineering at the
Technical University Berlin and obtained his diploma and Dr.-Ing. there. In 1968,
Gerd joined the soil mechanics group of Karlsruhe University in South Germany,
nowKarlsruheInstituteofTechnology.Onlysomefiveyearslaterin1973,thethen
35-year-old Gudehus was offered the chair professor of soil mechanics in
Karlsruhe. He set a record as the youngest chair professor of geotechnical engi-
neering in the history of German universities. Since then, Gerd was at the helm
of the largest research institute in geotechnical engineering for more than three
decades until his retirement in emeritus status in 2006. In its prime time, the
institutehadupto100peopleonstaff.Theleadershipofthelargeinstituteofstrong
individualscalledfor hardworkandingenuity. Besides theposition asheadofthe
institute,Gerdservedasthedeanofthefacultyofcivilengineeringandasthevice
president for research of the university.
This reads like a storybook career. However, Gudehus is no ordinary man.
Ordinary people make career themselves, and extraordinary people establish a
school of thought with profound impact on a whole generation. Gerd, with his
passion for rational mechanics, established the Karlsruhe school of soil mechanics
with the hallmark of rational approach to geotechnical engineering, an otherwise
much empiricism-dominated engineering discipline. In spite of his management
responsibilities,Gerd’sresearchoutputhasbeenveryimpressive.Moreimpressive
is his ability to inspire young fellows at various stages of their career. During the
past 33 years as chair professor, Gerd supervised some 75 theses leading to the
degree of Dr.-Ing. and Dr. Sci. (habilitation). This set another record of most
supervisedthesesofourtrade.Thosewhohaveeverworkedunderhistutelagewere

day his footsteps and pursue an academic career. Some 16 of his students became
chair professors in Germany and abroad. Yet another record! This is phenomenal
