With the rapid development in transportation and energy infrastructure sectors, many new research areas emerge within soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering, as motivated by engineering problems related to cyclic and dynamic loads. This paper presents a review on researches focused on soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering and emphasizes the recent advancements in understanding shear modulus of soils, dynamic response of the high-speed railway pavement and its accumulative settlements, soil liquefaction, the seismic response of underground structures and its earthquake design, and the dynamics related to sea bridge and offshore wind turbine foundations. Lastly, potential future researches directions are discussed.
