The 3rd International Conference on the Flat Dilatometer

The Technical Committee TC-102 of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI) in cooperation with L'Aquila University are pleased to announce the 3rd International Conference on the Flat Dilatometer DMT'15 in Roma (Italy).

Engineers, Consultants, Geologists, Researchers, Teachers and Students are invited to share their knowledge and experience through oral presentations, State of the Art reports, poster sessions, as well as an intensive course on "Equipment, Procedure, Software, Data reduction".

Dates & Deadlines:
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 July 2014 extended to 15 September 2014
Abstract approval notification: 10 August 2014
Deadline for papers submission: 30 November 2014
Papers approval notification: 31 December 2014
Deadline for final papers submission: 28 February 2015

The conference will cover the following topics:

• Settlement prediction
• Detection and characterization of liquefiable layers
• Tailing dams parameters and analysis
• Compaction control
• Using the combination DMT + CPT to estimate parameters or performance
• Detecting slip surfaces in slopes
• Laterally loaded piles
• Diaphragm walls design
• FEM input parameters
• Theoretical and numerical analysis of the DMT
• Shear wave velocity and Earthquake resistant design
• Correlations and comparisons with other lab or in situ tests
• Difficult soils (nearly liquid, crushable, residual, cemented, expansive etc.)
• Offshore execution of DMT
• In situ G-γ decay curves
