The 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

Announcement
Building upon the success of previous Symposia, we are happy to announce the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials!

The International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), Technical Committee TC 101, the Sociedad Argentina de Ingeniería Geotécnica (SAIG), and the local Organizing Committee, are pleased to invite you to the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina for the Sixth International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Soils from 15th to 18th November 2015.

The Conference, is organized in parallel with the Panamerican Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, and will bring together practitioners, researchers and educators from all around the world who are engaged in the understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, and the small strain parameters as fundamental characteristics of geomaterials.

Call for papers/abstracts:
You are invited to submit abstracts on one of the symposium's research areas:
I. Experimental Investigations from very small strains to beyond failure Including Multiphysical Approach
II. Behaviour, characterization and modelling of various geomaterials and Interfaces
III. Practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories

Abstracts:
Abstract submission deadline: February 20, 2014
Please submit your abstracts to: [email protected]

Important dates:
February 20, 2014 Submission of abstracts.
March 30, 2014 Notification of abstract acceptance.
June 30, 2014 Submission of papers.
