Seminario prof. Kenneth Stokoe, Napoli Federico II, 22 marzo 2019
Vi segnaliamo il doppio seminario che il prof. Kenneth Stokoe (the University of Texas at Austin, USA) terrà questo venerdì, 22 marzo 2019, presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Edile ed Ambientale dell’Università di Napoli Federico II:
Recent advances in field measurements of dynamic soil properties using the SABW (Spectral‐Analysis‐of‐Body‐Waves) method
Building a framework for predicting settlements of shallow foundations on granular soil with MoDaMP (Modeling with Dynamically Measured Soil Properties)
La durata complessiva prevista è di circa 1 ora. Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.

ISC’6, Budapest, 7-11 settembre 2020 – Call for abstracts
La sesta conferenza internazionale su Geotechnical and Geophysical Site Characterization – ISC’6, organizzata dal TC102 (Technical Committee for Ground Property Characterization from In-Situ Tests) della ISSMGE, si terrà a Budapest dal 7 all’11 settembre 2020. È aperta la call for abstracts, con scadenza il 1o marzo 2019.
The ISC conferences are the major events in the life of ISSMGE’s TC102. Since 1998, it will be the 6th time that geotechnical engineers and geophysicists from all over the world will gather and share their knowledge and experiences.
Besides the conventional site characterization topics, the conference will also focus on some other recent challenges. As numerical modelling plays a more important role in geotechnical practice, there is an increasing demand for links between in situ test results and material model parameters. Some recent research projects in this field (e.g. sophisticated numerical analysis of in situ tests) are very promising, thus a proper forum for discussing those results may be an important starting point in these areas. A special session will be dedicated to this topic which aims to facilitate cooperation between specialists in both fields. Another important aim is to facilitate more active cooperation between geotechnical engineers and geophysicists. While the combined use of the two disciplines can be very beneficial, the use of geophysics in everyday geotechnical works is still limited. In addition to having a session for geophysical testing, we are planning another special session dedicated to potential benefits of cooperation between these two fields, where best practices are presented and discussed. Such a forum may be beneficial for both geophysicists and geotechnical engineers.
Main themes:
Equipment, Measuring Techniques, Sampling
Mechanical Testing (CPT, SPT, DMT, PMT, VST, PLT)
Geophysics in Geotechnical Engineering
Site Characterization, Case Studies, Uncertainties
In Situ Testing and Numerical Modelling
Engineering Applications
Problematic Soils (e.g. gravels, volcanics, expansive, sensitive, intermediate, mine tailings)
Education
Authors may also apply for the Silvano Marchetti Award
The ISSMGE Technical Committee TC102 – Ground Property Characterization from In-Situ Tests in cooperation with the University of L’Aquila, Italy has instituted the Silvano Marchetti Award (SMA) in memory of Professor Silvano Marchetti (1943-2016). The award is funded entirely by Studio Prof. Marchetti, Italy.

Giornata in ricordo del Prof. Pietro Colombo, Padova, 29 marzo 2019
I colleghi dell’Università di Padova hanno organizzato una Giornata in memoria del Prof. Pietro Colombo, scomparso nel settembre del 2016.
L’incontro si terrà presso l’Università di Padova (Palazzo del Bo’ ‐ Sala Archivio Antico) il prossimo 29 marzo.
Dopo i saluti istituzionali, nella mattinata seguiranno i contributi di alcuni colleghi che hanno a lungo interagito con il Prof. Colombo mentre nel pomeriggio sono programmati brevi interventi scientifici di allievi della Scuola Padovana, nell’ambito di temi di ricerca avviati dal Prof. Colombo.
Tenuto conto della capienza limitata della Sala, si prega di dare conferma di partecipazione prima possibile all’indirizzo e-mail: lorenzo.brezzi@dicea.unipd.it.
La partecipazione alla sessione pomeridiana verrà accreditata dall’Ordine degli Ingegneri di Padova con 3 CFP.
Programma: Giornata in ricordo del Prof. Colombo
