Posted:
The XIV Congress of the International Association for Engineering Geology and the Environment will be held in Chengdu Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center, Chengdu, China on September 21-27, 2023. Based on the theme of “Engineering Geology for a Habitable Earth”, the congress is expected to enhance the disciplinary and research development of international engineering geology and the environment, and contribute to the advancement of major projects, ecological progress, and habitable earth with research and discussion in global climate change mitigation and adaption, geological hazard assessment and prevention, geotechnical properties of rock and soil mass, engineering geology applied to traffic, energy, urban and marine, ecological environment protection in major projects, and artificial intelligence, new theories and technologies in…
Congratulations to our new officers of IAEG! — the latest issue of the IAEG Connector newsletter is available to read online. Congratulations to Anthony Bowden (AGS Sydney-NSW Chapter), who was elected Vice President for Australasia, 2023-2026.
SPARC Hub at the Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University (https://sparchub.org.au) is leading the effort to address the current key issues in unbound granular material testing, design and construction processes and make further advancements to maximise the benefits of increasing digitisation within the so-called Industry 4.0 revolution. The Hub organises a two-day online workshop on unbound flexible pavements in September 2022. The workshop comprises keynote presentations from world-renowned experts in various countries and panel discussions with industry experts and leaders involved in unbound pavements testing, design and construction. It will be an excellent opportunity to update knowledge in this rapidly growing area. Day1 (29 September 2022, AEST): The state of practice and advancements – materials, testing and design Day2 (30 September 2022, AEST): Construction,…

The Australian Geomechanics Society (Sydney Chapter) has established the Harry Poulos Award in recognition of the extraordinary impact of Professor Harry Poulos’s contributions to pile foundation analysis and design and his work in understanding soil- structure interaction. His research has enabled a more reliable approach to be adopted for pile design, replacing procedures that previously relied purely on experience and empiricism. He has been a prolific contributor to and supporter of the activities of the international and Australian geotechnical community. Basis of the Award The award will be presented annually to a person selected by the Sydney Chapter Committee as having made a significant contribution to either practice or research in foundation engineering or soil-structure interaction. This contribution must have…
