This international workshop brought together outstanding work in earthquake engineering that embraces a holistic consideration of soilfoundation-structure systems. For example, the diversity of papers in this volume is represented by contributions from the fields of shallow foundation in liquefiable soil, spatially distributed lifelines, bridges, clustered structures (see photo on front cover), sea floor seismic motion, multi-axial ground excitation, deep foundations, soil-foundation-structurefluid interaction, liquefaction-induced settlement and uplift with SFSI.
A fundamental knowledge gap is manifested by the isolated manner geotechnical and structural engineers work. A holistic consideration of soil-foundation-structures systems is only possible if civil engineers work collaboratively to the mutual benefit of all disciplines. Another gap occurs by the retarded application of up-to-date research findings in engineering design practices. Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems is the outcome from the recognized need to close this gap, since it has been observed that a considerable delay exists between published research findings and application of the principles revealed by the research.
Seismic Performance of Soil-Foundation-Structure Systems will be helpful in developing more understanding of the complex nature of responses these systems present under strong earthquakes, and will assist engineers in closing the gaps identified above.

Persons
Rolando Orense has extensive experience in research, teaching and consulting work on topics related to soil liquefaction, ground response analyses and soil-structure interaction during earthquakes through laboratory testing, physical modelling and numerical simulation. Prior to joining the University of Auckland, he worked at universities and consulting companies in the Philippines and in Japan. He has authored and edited three books and over 230 peer-reviewed papers in scholarly journals and international conference proceedings and over 60 technical reports. He received Best Research Paper Award, Business Plan Award and Technical Award from the Japanese Geotechnical Society. He has been involved in many post-earthquake reconnaissance investigations, all of which involved liquefaction-induced damage. Rolando currently teaches a post-graduate course in 'Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering'.
Tam Larkin is an academic member of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Auckland. He has decades of teaching and research experiences in earthquake engineering including supervision of a large number of postgraduate students, especially in soil dynamics and seismology. He was recently awarded the Otto Glogau Prize of the New Zealand Society of Earthquake Engineering and the Geomechanics Prize of the New Zealand Geotechnical Society for the second time, respectively. He has recently become involved in research projects with a focus on the seismic performance of clustered structures and liquid storage tanks. He teaches the course 'Earthquake Engineering'.
