Fifth symposium of MAG / Second conference of regional geotechnical societies / ISRM specialized conference
Description
The 5th symposium of Macedonian Association for Geotechnics will be held 23-25.6.2022, as a Second conference of regional geotechnical societies and as an ISRM Specialized Conference. It will take place in UNESCO's world heritage site - Ohrid, a city of great historical and cultural importance on the shore of one of the oldest and deepest European tectonic lakes.
It is organized with a goal to familiarize the expert and scientific public with the most recent findings in geotechnics. For that purpose, the Symposium will host the following lecturers and guests: Reshat Ulusay, Nick Barton, Anna Maria Ferrero, Heinz Brandl, Boris Jeremic, Eda Freitas de Quadros, Milorad Jovanovski, etc.
Papers can be prepared on the main topic of the Symposium: "Engineering problems in soft rocks", about those and related geological materials, in one of the following areas:
- Geotechnical aspects in urban areas and infrastructure (foundation engineering, dams, roads, railways, tunnels, underground structures, mines, nuclear power plants, etc.)
- Laboratory and field geotechnical testing and investigation (ISO CEN, laboratory tests, in-situ investigation and testing CPT, dilatometers, geophysical...)
- Geotechnical modelling of soils and rocks (numerical, physical, GIS, BIM, remote detection)
- Assessment and reduction of geo-hazards (terrain instabilities, retaining structures, improvement methods)
- Eurocodes and relevant geotechnical regulation (technical regulation, challenges to the implementation of Eurocodes 7 and 8, national annexes)
- Earthquake geotechnical engineering (influence of local conditions, seismic zoning of the terrain, liquefaction, lessons learned after recent earthquakes)
- Geotechnics and achievements in support of a sustainable society (environmental protection, education, historical buildings, directions in development...)
- Specific problems in soft rocks
