TC208 Workshop on global grand challenges for engineered slopes at ECSMGE 2019

A pre-conference workshop for TC208 will be held at the European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Reykjavik on 1st September 2019 from 1-4pm. We invite TC208 members and ot

Objective 1: Dissemination

To develop and disseminate knowledge and practice within the ISSMGE slope stability community

Task Force 1a: ISSMGE virtual University – To identify, pursue, and aid leading academics and practioners in the generation of high quality webinar content for the TC208 subject area under the ISSMGE virtual University initiative
Task Force 1b: Special Issues – To encourage the dissemination of the state of the art through hosting special Issues within scholarly journals (e.g. 2019 IJPMG special issue on physical modelling of landslides)
Task Force 1c: Honor Lecture – To explore the possibility of the creation of a TC208 honor lecture

Objective 2: Guidelines & Recommendations

To establish guidelines and technical recommendations for slope stability practice

Task Force 2a: Technical guidelines – To work with landslide committees within member societies and other affiliated bodies to create a library of national landslide guidelines within the ISSMGE library
Task Force 2b: Technical recommendations for the selection of shear strength parameters for slope stability analyses – To create recommendations, based on soil mechanics theory, for use in slope stability analyses
Task Force 2c --> 2n. Opportunity for other technical recommendations to be championed by members of the TC

Objective 3: Conference Assistance

To assist with technical programs of international and regional conferences organised by the ISSMGE

Task Force 3a Conferences. To assist the ICSMGE / ECSMGE organising committees in the peer review for manuscripts submitted under the slope stability topic.
Task Force 3b: Workshops. To develop a plan for TC208 activities at ICSMGE & regional ISSMGE (e.g. ECSMGE) conferences

Objective 4: Industry Links

To assist with industry and overlapping organisations within the international slope stability community

Task Force 4a: To work in cooperation with JTC1 and offer help in the organisation of the International Symposium on Landslides, JTC1 workshops, and other initiatives. To identify other organisations with overlapping interests in slope stability or education to promote the work of the TC
