2nd International Symposium on Transportation Soil Engineering in Cold Regions

When: September 24-26, 2015

We are pleased to invite you to Novosibirsk, Russia, for the 2nd International Symposium on Transportation Soil Engineering in Cold Regions to be held on September 24-26, 2015. The 1st International Symposium on Transportation Soil Engineering in Cold Regions was held in 2013 and offered a unique platform to foster knowledge sharing and exchanging experiences for the prevention of cold region subgrade soils and foundation problems impacting transportation facilities such as railways and highways. We look forward to welcoming you to Novosibirsk and to your active participation in the 2nd TranSoilCold Conference.

Main Topics:

• Mechanical behaviour of soil and aggregate in transportation in cold regions
• Coupled modelling of mechanical and physical processes in transportation soil for cold regions
• Slope stability of embankments and their foundations in permafrost
• Frost heave in ballast and subgrade beneath slab track
• Thaw weakening of soil in transportation
• Field measurement of stress, deformation, temperature, moisture
• Long-term evaluation of subgrade functionality
• Nondestructive evaluation of subgrade soils and aggregate layers in cold regions
• Water-heating mode subgrade in cold regions
• Protection of subgrade from avalanches

Important Dates:

• Deadline to submit abstract (earlier submission is advised): January 15, 2015
• Notification of abstract acceptance: January 31, 2015
• Deadline to submit paper: March 31, 2015
• Notification of full paper acceptance: April 15, 2015
• Deadline to submit the final revised paper: May 30, 2015
• Notification of final technical program: July 15, 2015
