The Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) Sydney Chapter is holding its 26th annual symposium on Friday 11 November 2022, ‘Reliability-based Design: Advances, Innovation and Experiences‘. The symposium forms part of the continuing program of events organised by the AGS Sydney Chapter. It aims to encourage ideas and discussions about one of the key aspects of design which is becoming more prevalent in industry and academia. The organising committee is now calling for abstracts. Suggested Topics Reliability-based analysis is a design approach to quantify and incorporate uncertainty into geotechnical analysis using probabilistic techniques. The following are some suggested topics for this symposium: Reliability-based assessments for geotechnical site investigations and interpretation Reliability-based assessments in the derivation of geotechnical design parameters Reliability-based design for…
Update: The organising committee have extended the deadline for abstract nominations for the 14 ANZ YGP conference to Friday 8th April The New Zealand Geotechnical Society (NZGS) and the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) are excited to invite our young geotechnical professionals to attend the 14th Young Geotechnical Professionals Conference (14YGPC) in Rotorua New Zealand from the 2nd to the 5th November 2022. The 14YGPC is for geotechnical professionals under 35 years old with 10 or fewer years of experience in the geotechnical field. All attendees are required to present a technical paper on any topic of interest / experience relating to the field of geomechanics or geotechnical engineering or engineering geology. Rotorua is renowned for its geothermal activity, adventure tourism, and Maori culture with…
