Geo Events

The title of this year's lecture is: The Unusual and the Unexpected in Geotechnical Engineering: Observation – Analogy – Experiment.

This hybrid edition will focus on the latest innovations transforming the way tunnels are designed and constructed while exploring the latest trends in TBM operations, geotechnic engineering, structural design, safety analysis and more.

This conference will provide a platform for interaction, communication, and technology transfer for academic and non-academic parties, including researchers and practitioners, in the broad areas within Energy Geotechnics. See the conference webpage for the wide range of themes to be presented. This conference was postponed to April 2022 due to concerns related to COVID-19.

The theme of ICSMGE 2022 is “A Geotechnical Discovery Downunder – Geotechnical Diversity Awaits You”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading theoretical developments. ICSMGE 2022 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on the geotechnical problems facing our world.

The Symposium aims at providing Researchers, Practitioners and Contractors with a unique opportunity of sharing up-to-date knowledge in equipment, testing procedures, data interpretation and related practical applications, as well as at discussing emerging solutions and new ideas with the largest gathering of world’s experts, academics and non-academics, working in the broad and dynamic area of CPTs.

Participation to EGRWSE-2021 will benefit academic researchers, practicing engineers and representatives from local authorities. Besides presenting their own research or professional work, participants will be informed from and discuss latest accomplishments, innovations and future directions in environmental geotechnology, use of recycled wastes, and sustainability.

3ECEES is aiming at providing a creative and stimulating environment for sharing and tackling the most challenging topics of global importance and interest in Earthquake Engineering and Seismology.

The Conference will attract an international audience of academics and practitioners. Presenters will be encouraged to highlight the theoretical insights and practical implications to a multi-disciplinary audience that is attracted to new, transformative ideas.

The fourth ISFOG will strive to continue providing a specialist forum for practitioners and academics to share solutions and new ideas that address the dynamic challenges of working in offshore design and installation. ISFOG will highlight emerging technologies related to data science and also emphasize the recent surge in offshore renewables development. Other areas of interest include performance-based design and addressing the challenges of an ageing offshore infrastructure.

The aim of the conference is to give an up-to-date picture of the broad research field of computational geomechanics. Contributions from experts around the world will cover a wide range of research topics in geomechanics. Pre-conference courses will also be held in Grenoble (France) and Milan (Italy).

The event will bring together people from across the geotechnical monitoring sector to promote better understanding, interpretation and presentation of field measurements. Field instrumentation is uniquely able to answer the questions that geotechnical engineers ask. The program will include Special Lectures, Technical Presentations, Young Engineers Paper Competition, Poster Sessions, Exhibitions, Workshops and Technical Tours, as well as a parallel non-technical program.

The main, overall, object for NORDROCS is “Crossing Borders” with the goal to share and discuss the way we manage contaminated land within the Nordic countries. Across the borders of the Nordic countries, we have a common interest and openness regarding development inside and outside the Nordic region. This is also true when it comes to remediation of contaminated sites.

Latest advances in rock mechanics, interesting mining and rock engineering cases, and engineering education. The call for papers is now open. The conference will feature two main tracks: the scientific track and the industrial track.

The conference will cover the application of static and dynamic test methods to deep foundations, both driven and cast-in-place, offshore as well as onshore. Subject matters that will be covered include wave mechanics applications to foundations, high strain dynamic testing, low strain integrity testing, rapid load testing, static load testing (compression, tension as well as bi-directional), soil-structure interaction from dynamic, rapid and static testing, lateral testing, vibratory analysis and monitoring of piles and sheet piles, and pile installation effects and drivability in relation to soil investigation methods.

Geosynthetics: leading the way to a resilient planet. The conference topics will address through general and parallel sessions the most recent developments in geosynthetics, stimulating fruitful technical and scientific interaction within professionals.

The 15th ISRM Congress will be held in conjunction with the 72nd Geomechanics Colloquium in Salzburg, the city where the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) was founded in 1962.
