TC104 Physical Modelling

Physical Modelling in Geotechnics

Objective 1: Dissemination

To disseminate and develop knowledge and practice within the area of physical modelling in geotechnical engineering by establishing working groups to:

Promote the sharing of resources for teaching that uses physical modelling
Develop standardised and sustainable equipment and sensors for physical modelling
Produce a newsletter for general dissemination and communication on physical modelling

Objective 2: Guidelines & Recommendations

To ensure that the outcomes of the working groups above are captured and disseminated via guidelines and technical recommendations.

Objective 3: Conference Assistance

To promote, coordinate and provide advice and support to hosts of regional conferences, Asiafuge and Eurofuge, as well as the quadrennial international TC104 conference.

Objective 4: Industry Links

To establish a working group to promote the use of geotechnical physical modelling in engineering practice with potential activities including case studies, mini lectures and online resources.
