3rd International Symposium on Coupled Phenomena in Environmental Geotechnics

Date
20-10-2021 to 22-10-2021
Location
Kyoto, Japan
Description

Coupled Phenomena in Environmental Geotechnics (CPEG) is a quadrennial event organized under the auspices of the Technical Committee No.215 on Environmental Geotechnics of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), with a focus on coupled processes (e.g., chemical-physical, bio-physical, multiphase flow, etc.) in environmental geotechnics. The first symposium of the series was held in Torino, Italy, in 2013, and the second one was in Leeds, UK, in 2017. The third symposium, CPEG2020, was conjointly organized by the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS) and Kyoto University.

CPEG2020 was supposed to be held at the Clock Tower Centennial Hall of Kyoto University’s main campus on October 29–30, 2020, instead of 2021, in order to avoid conflict with other ISSMGE events. However, it was postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the first time to March 17–18, 2021, and the second time to October 20–21, 2021, with the expectation of holding an on-site symposium. Despite the postponement, the pandemic was anticipated to continue until the subsequent year. Therefore, in June 2021, the organizers decided to hold the symposium on October 20–21, 2021, with all the presentations and exchanges held online. The symposium included four keynote lectures by Prof. Craig Benson (USA), Prof. Toru Inui (Japan), Prof. Catherine Mulligan (Canada) and Dr. Dimitrios Zekkos (USA). Additionally, there was a special presentation by Prof. Abdelmalek Bouazza (Australia) and a special session on column testing by Prof. Charles Shackelford (USA) and Dr. Tetsuo Yasutaka (Japan).

The symposium and proceedings were made possible by the contributions of numerous parties as reported in the attached PDF containing the proceedings Preface (CPEG2020_Preface.pdf).
