9th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials
Description
Dear Colleagues in ISSMGE,
Every 4 years, ISSMGEs Technical Committee on Laboratory Testing (TC101) organises a World conference, covering advances in laboratory testing of geomaterials. Following the success of previous symposium editions in Sapporo (1994), Torino (1999), Lyon (2003), Atlanta (2008), Seoul (2011), Buenos Aires (2015), Glasgow (2019) and Porto (2023), it is our great pleasure to invite members of ISSMGE to the 9th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM on DEFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS of GEOMATERIALS, which will be held on 14th - 17th of September, 2027 at the Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Türkiye.
Themes of the symposium are;
Laboratory Testing
Equipment development
Procedure improvement
Advances in sensors and data acquisition
Computer automation and feedback algorithms
Non-invasive measurements and imaging
Laboratory vs. field properties
Sampling quality/disturbance
Repeatability, reproducability, cross-lab testing
Deducing Elemental Behavior from Test Results
Model-scale and large-scale testing
Particle-scale testing and micro-mechanics
Cyclic and Dynamic testing
Small strain testing
Unsaturated soil testing
Time-dependant processes
Thermo- and hydro-mechanically coupled behavior
Material Characterization
Anisotropy, localization, fracture propagation
Rock mechanics tests
Geogrid/geotextile/geofoam/reinforced soil tests
Testing of soils after improvement
Transportation geotechnics
Biogeotechnics
This meeting will bring together researchers, engineers, and industry experts from around the world to exchange the latest scientific knowledge, share innovative solutions, and discuss future challenges in laboratory testing of geomaterials. With more than 200 participants expected, IS-Ankara will provide an inspiring environment for fruitful discussions, networking opportunities, and international collaborations.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ankara, Türkiye, and to METU, a leading institution in the region with a strong tradition of excellence in engineering and geosciences.
