The Victorian Chapter of the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) is pleased to announce the 2022 AGS Victorian Symposium titled “Digital Geotechnics” to be held on 26 October 2022. The symposium forms part of the continuing program of events organised by the Victorian Chapter of the AGS. The event will showcase recent developments in digital geotechnics and applications of digital geotechnics in practice. This symposium will be held as a full-day face-to-face event in Melbourne. The following is a list of suggested topics: Data capture techniques (drone survey, LIDAR, InSAR etc.) enable improved design/operation outcomes. Data management and integration to identify the geotechnical information gap. Digital twins of infrastructures. 3D geological/geotechnical modelling. Advanced numerical analysis. Construction/operating phases instrumentation and monitoring (settlement,…
