Call for Papers

You are invited to submit an abstract on the following symposium themes:

I. Experimental Investigations from very small strains to beyond failure
1) Advances in laboratory and field methods
2) Data interpretation and geotechnical imaging
3) Multi scale problems in geomechanics (micro-to-macro strain)
4) Advanced sampling
5) Behaviour at geotechnical interfaces
II. Behaviour, characterisation and modelling of various geomaterials
6) Physical and numerical modeling
7) Anisotropy and localization
8) Time dependent responses (ageing, viscous and cycling effects)
9) Special characteristics of particular geomaterials:
- Unsaturated soils,
- Cemented and stabilized soils,
- Frozen soils including hydrates,
- Mixtures (soils with inclusions)
III. Practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories
10) Integrated site characterization
11) Performance evaluation of geotechnical structures
12) New field methods of ground deformation measurement
