12th International Conference on Geosynthetics: Abstract submission deadline extended to February 28, 2021
The Italian Geotechnical Society (AGI) and the Italian Chapter of IGS (AGI-IGS) invite you to attend the 12th International Conference on Geosynthetics, 12 ICG, which will be held in Roma, Italy, from 18 to 22 September 2022.
The geosynthetics and geotechnical engineering community has reached full awareness over the last two decades, and the whole geosynthetics industry has focused on the sustainable use of geosynthetics in a variety of innovative as well as consolidated applications.
Hence 12 ICG intends to become the base for the next step and the conference theme will be: Geosynthetics, Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet.
Abstract submission deadline extended to February 28, 2021
The Organizing Committee of 12th International Conference on Geosynthetics (12 ICG) invites all geotechnical and geosynthetics professionals and academics to submit abstracts. For information please visit the web-site: https://www.12icg-roma.org/
8th International Conference on Debris Flow Hazard Mitigation (Turin, 26-29 June 2023)
The 8th International Conference on Debris Flow Hazard Mitigation – DFHM8 will be held at the Politecnico di Torino conference facilities in Turin, Italy, on 26-29 June 2023.
The conference will be a platform for participants to discuss the current situation, challenges and advancements related to debris flows, from triggering to deposition, passing through the analysis of their propagation dynamics and interaction with mitigation structures. Physical and numerical modelling together with real cases description, site survey and investigation will be the tools to allow sharing novelty, experiences and best practices.
With this in mind, and following the successful 7th conference held in Colorado, USA, in 2019, the Organizing Committee has set the goal to prepare a stimulating scientific program for scientists, professionals and policy makers.
Updated information on the conference is available on the conference website www.dfhm8.polito.it.
Corso telematico AGI: Modello Geotecnico degli Ammassi Rocciosi – 5 febbraio 2021
Il corso telematico AGI dedicato al tema “Modello Geotecnico degli Ammassi Rocciosi” si propone di fornire all’ingegnere professionista gli indirizzi di base per la formulazione, alla luce della Normativa Tecnica corrente, di un modello geotecnico dell’ammasso roccioso di fondazione di opere. A questo scopo, il corso descrive le più rilevanti caratteristiche meccaniche delle rocce, dalla scala del provino di laboratorio a quella del sito, ai fini della caratterizzazione geotecnica dell’ammasso roccioso alla quale associare il modello geotecnico. Segue l’illustrazione dei modelli geotecnici più opportuni per alcuni casi reali, rappresentativi dei più tipici casi applicativi delle opere geotecniche in roccia, quali i pendii e fronti di scavo, e le gallerie. Il corso si avvale della docenza di diversi professori universitari, provenienti da Scuole universitarie con accreditata tradizione nella Meccanica e Ingegneria delle Rocce. Il corso si sviluppa in una giornata con una durata di 8 ore.
