The ISSMGE News & Information Circular for May 2019 is available online. Along with a link to the ISSMGE Bulletin, there is a webinar on Unsaturated Soils, and a survey to assess the consistency of calculation models and design methods for a variety of geotechnical structures and, where possible, to compare the results with full-scale tests and reliability analyses.
4th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics – Call for abstracts
The 4th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (4th ICTG) will be held in Chicago, Illinois, on August 30–September 2, 2020. This is the main conference event of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) Technical Committee (TC) 202 on Transportation Geotechnics and it is organized every four years. The primary focus of TC202 is to apply broad engineering to bridge the gap between Pavement/Railway Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering. Abstracts submissions are now open, see the 4ICTG flyer for details. The abstract and paper submission is through the ICTG2020 conference Web page: http://www.conferences.illinois.edu/ICTG2020 The deadline for submission is June 16, 2019 has been extended to July 12, 2019.
