8th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials

Date

03-09-2023 to 06-09-2023

Location

Porto, Portugal

Description

The 8th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials (IS-PORTO 2023) was organized by the Technical Committee on Laboratory Stress-Strain-Strength Testing of Geomaterials (TC101), which is part of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). The symposium was endorsed by the Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG) and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). The symposium took place from the 3rd to the 6th of September 2023 in Porto, Portugal.

IS-PORTO 2023 aims to continue the success of previous symposia: Hokkaido 1994, Torino 1999, Lyon 2003, Atlanta 2008, Seoul 2011, Buenos Aires 2015 and Glasgow 2019. This symposium focuses on the understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, especially on the small-strain stiffness parameters as fundamental characteristics of geomaterials, and their implications in geotechnical design.
