TC204: Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground - TC204 Cambridge 2022

Welcome to TC204 Cambridge 2022. In line with TC204 terms of reference, the main topics addressed by TC204 Cambridge 2022 concern the geotechnical aspects of the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of deep excavations, tunnels and large underground structures, with particular emphasis on the development, effects and control of ground movements, their interaction with existing structures, mitigation measures and risk management. The suggested topics include:

 

• Field case studies
• Physical modelling
• Sensing technologies
• Seismic response of underground infrastructure
• Numerical modelling
• Historic/Masonry structures affected by underground construction activities
• Smart infrastructure materials
• Ground improvement in soft ground
