PROGRAM
The Technical Program Committee is developing a robust program for the 5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics 2024.
The program will feature presentations from the following themes:
-
Mechanistic-empirical design (road, railways, airfields, waterways and harbor facilities)
-
Optimized characteristics of geomaterials (e.g. hydraulically bound materials & asphalt mixtures)
-
Recycled materials in road and rail embankments and sub-structural layers
-
Sustainability in transportation geotechnics
-
Fundamentals of road and rail geotechnics
-
Offshore soil improvement, port development and harbour geotechnics
-
Dynamics of transportation infrastructure and numerical modelling
-
Soft Subgrade Instability including yielding and fluidisation (experimental and numerical)
-
Behaviour of airfields and pavement structures
-
Transition zones for railways
-
Applied ground improvement methods for transportation infrastructure
-
Stabilisation and reinforcement of geomaterials and waste materials
-
Geosynthetics in transportation applications
-

-
Pile-supported transport infrastructure
-
Geotechnical-seismic vulnerability of transportation infrastructures
-
Subsurface sensing for transportation infrastructure
-
Intelligent construction in earthworks technology and management
