The 15th Panamerican Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

The Argentinian Geotechnical Engineering Society (SAIG) is pleased to announce that it will be the host of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), to be held in Buenos Aires (Argentina) from 15th to 18th November 2015.

The conference will coincide with two other important events for geo – professionals: the 8th South American Conference on Rock Mechanics (CSMR) and the 6th International Symposium of Deformation Characteristics of Soils (IC- BA2015). This meeting will bring together international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geoengineering companies in a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, mining and environmental engineering.
